'''Special Attacks''' first appear in the game ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]''. [[Bowser]], [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] are able to use these, which each special attack using a certain amount of [[Special Point]]s, or SP. Special Attacks even have a menu section in the [[Star Menu]], where the [[player]] can watch demos and practice the attacks.

'''Brawl Attacks''', originally called '''Special Attacks''', are [[List of moves|special moves]] that only appear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'' and its [[Nintendo 3DS|3DS]] remake, ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]''. [[Bowser]] is able to use these, with each Brawl Attack using a certain amount of [[Brawl Point]]s (shortened to BP; known as Special Points/SP in the original). Brawl Attacks have a menu section in the [[star menu]], where the player can watch demos and practice the attacks just like the [[Bros. Attack]]s [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] can use.


==Mario and Luigi's Attacks==
Bowser has a total of six Brawl Attacks that he gathers throughout the game. Like Mario and Luigi, Bowser has to unlock them in many areas of the game, though they are unlocked in a different way. To unlock these types of attacks for Bowser to use, the player must liberate Bowser's loyal, non-brainwashed troops. The player finds them in cages all around the [[Mushroom Kingdom]]. Out of the six, five of them are found inside one of the cages. The last one is when the player collects all fifteen [[Blitty|Blitties]] from enemies through the [[Vacuum Block]]. Unlike Mario and Luigi's Bros. Attacks, which use {{button|ds|A}} and {{button|ds|B}} respectively, Bowser's Brawl Attacks use {{button|ds|Stylus}} and the Touch Screen.

Mario and Luigi both use a total of ten Special Attacks throughout the game. To obtain a Special Attack, Mario and Luigi need to collect ten '''Attack Pieces'''. They can be obtained from special [[Attack Piece Block]]s and completing various sidequests. All ten of Mario and Luigi's Special Attacks are shown in the table below (Note: When using an attack with a Tight Belt, the SP cost is reduced in half):

==Trivia==
*Although the top screen of Mario and Luigi's tutorials always show a [[Goomba]] being defeated by the acquired Special Move, no normal Goombas are seen in the game as enemies except [[Jailgoon]]s, [[Choomba]]s, and [[Chuboomba]]s.
*The top screen of Bowser's tutorials always show a lollipop-less [[Chuboomba]] being defeated by the acquired Brawl Attack. However, in normal battle conditions, Chuboombas [[flee]] once the lollipop is removed. This was changed in the remake.
**Additionally, the top screen of Bowser's tutorials always show a [[Chuboomba]] being defeated by the acquired Special Move ''without the candy''. If the Chuboomba does not have the candy it usually no longer fights.

Brawl Attacks, originally called Special Attacks, are special moves that only appear in Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story and its 3DS remake, Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey. Bowser is able to use these, with each Brawl Attack using a certain amount of Brawl Points (shortened to BP; known as Special Points/SP in the original). Brawl Attacks have a menu section in the star menu, where the player can watch demos and practice the attacks just like the Bros. Attacks Mario and Luigi can use.

Bowser has a total of six Brawl Attacks that he gathers throughout the game. Like Mario and Luigi, Bowser has to unlock them in many areas of the game, though they are unlocked in a different way. To unlock these types of attacks for Bowser to use, the player must liberate Bowser's loyal, non-brainwashed troops. The player finds them in cages all around the Mushroom Kingdom. Out of the six, five of them are found inside one of the cages. The last one is when the player collects all fifteen Blitties from enemies through the Vacuum Block. Unlike Mario and Luigi's Bros. Attacks, which use A Button and B Button respectively, Bowser's Brawl Attacks use Stylus and the Touch Screen.

List of Brawl Attacks[edit]

All six of Bowser's Brawl Attacks are shown in the table below (Note: when using an attack with the Economy Ring, the SP / BP cost is halved):
