The '''Thunderhand''' is one of the two types of [[Hand Power]]s that is used by [[Luigi]] in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' and its [[Nintendo 3DS|3DS]] remake, ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]'', being the opposite of the [[Firebrand]], which is used by [[Mario]]. Luigi is taught this power by [[Firebrand and Thunderhand|Thunderhand]] in the [[Thunder Palace]], and he is taught an [[Tickle|advanced technique]] by the [[Jellyfish Sisters]], allowing Luigi to shock Mario so he can be stuck to him and move slower while facing one direction. This can be used to pass through slow-moving spiked barrels and activate [[Boo Statue]]s by moving into them while facing the opposite direction. In the case when Mario [[Pump Mario|fills himself with water]], Luigi can tickle him so he can spit out all the water on the ground, making certain sprouts in the ground grow. To use this move, the player must have Luigi as the lead brother, switch to the Thunderhand command by using {{button|gba|R}}/{{button|gba|L}}, hold down {{button|gba|B}}, and release it when they fully charge the thunderbolt, which can power [[conductor]]s.


Thunderhand can power [[Conductor]]s and be used offensively against enemies in battle. In some cases, enemies will have a weakness to or can only hurt by the Thunderhand, such as the [[Piranha Plant]]s on the [[Beanbean International Airport]]'s runway, [[Sharpea]]s or [[Troopea]]s. Other enemies (like [[Bowletta]]'s Dark form and [[Cackletta]] Soul's right hand) absorb the attack and get healed instead. Mario and Luigi can also use the [[Thunder Bros.]] [[Bros. Attack]], which involves Luigi charging up a thunderbolt, jumping on Mario and launching it downwards at enemies, [[DEF-Down|lowering their defense]]. It also has a more powerful form, Super Thunder Bros., however it consumes more Bros. Points, or BP. Here, Mario will [[Luigi Dunk|burrow Luigi underground]] with his [[hammer]] so Luigi can move beneath a single enemy to perform an electrified uppercut, which can also [[POW-Down|lower their POW stats]].
In battle, the Thunderhand can be used offensively against enemies. Using the Thunderhand on blue [[Oho Jee]] in the overworld causes them to go wild and attack Mario and Luigi, forcing them into a battle. When using it, the player must press {{button|gba|B}} when Luigi fully charges the thunderbolt. Failure in doing so results in Luigi shocking himself and the move dealing less damage. For some enemies, the Thunderhand is either a weakness or their only vulnerability, such as with [[Sharpea]]s and [[Troopea]]s; other enemies (such as [[Bowletta]]'s dark form and [[Mom Piranha]]'s blue form) absorb the attack and get healed instead. Mario and Luigi can also use the [[Thunder Bros.]] [[Bros. Attack]], which involves Luigi charging up a thunderbolt, jumping on Mario, and launching it downwards at enemies, [[DEF-Down|lowering their defense]]. It also has a [[Advanced Command|more powerful version]], Super Thunder Bros., which consumes fewer [[Bros. Point]]s in the remake.

The Thunderhand is one of the two types of Hand Powers that is used by Luigi in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga and its 3DS remake, Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions, being the opposite of the Firebrand, which is used by Mario. Luigi is taught this power by Thunderhand in the Thunder Palace, and he is taught an advanced technique by the Jellyfish Sisters, allowing Luigi to shock Mario so he can be stuck to him and move slower while facing one direction. This can be used to pass through slow-moving spiked barrels and activate Boo Statues by moving into them while facing the opposite direction. In the case when Mario fills himself with water, Luigi can tickle him so he can spit out all the water on the ground, making certain sprouts in the ground grow. To use this move, the player must have Luigi as the lead brother, switch to the Thunderhand command by using R Button/L Button, hold down B Button, and release it when they fully charge the thunderbolt, which can power conductors.

In battle, the Thunderhand can be used offensively against enemies. Using the Thunderhand on blue Oho Jee in the overworld causes them to go wild and attack Mario and Luigi, forcing them into a battle. When using it, the player must press B Button when Luigi fully charges the thunderbolt. Failure in doing so results in Luigi shocking himself and the move dealing less damage. For some enemies, the Thunderhand is either a weakness or their only vulnerability, such as with Sharpeas and Troopeas; other enemies (such as Bowletta's dark form and Mom Piranha's blue form) absorb the attack and get healed instead. Mario and Luigi can also use the Thunder Bros. Bros. Attack, which involves Luigi charging up a thunderbolt, jumping on Mario, and launching it downwards at enemies, lowering their defense. It also has a more powerful version, Super Thunder Bros., which consumes fewer Bros. Points in the remake. Here, Mario pounds Luigi into the ground with his hammer so Luigi can move beneath a single enemy to perform an electrified uppercut, which can also lower their attack power.

Also in the remake, the Thunderhand can be used to perform a First Strike. If this is done, enemies may become dizzy at the start of the battle.
