'''Thunder Bros.''' is one of [[Luigi]]'s [[Bros. Attack]]s in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' and ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]''. It based off of Luigi's [[Thunderhand]] move in the game. The move costs six [[Bros. Points|BP]] on Modes 1 and 2, and four BP on Mode 3. In the remake, the move costs fourteen/ten BP on Normal, and seventeen/thirteen BP on Easy. Luigi will charge up a ball of electricity in his hands. When fully charged, pressing the {{button|gba|B}} results in Luigi jumping on Mario. Another press on {{button|gba|B}} at this time will send Luigi flying into the air, and one more {{button|gba|B}} hit will allow Luigi to cast a thunderbolt (or a small orb of electricity that explodes upon contact with the ground in the 3DS remake) below him, causing some damage to all enemies on the ground. The attack, if performed correctly, always [[DEF-Down|lowers the enemies' defense]]. In the original game, the attack cannot hit airborne enemies unless the player failed the second [[Action Command]]; in the remake, it can now hit airborne enemies after Luigi casts the orb of electricity that explodes upon ground contact. Failing the second Action Command instead has Luigi unleashing the electric energy from his hand to a single enemy, dealing moderate damage to that enemy.

Thunder Bros. is one of Luigi's Bros. Attacks in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga and Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions. It based off of Luigi's Thunderhand move in the game. The move costs six BP on Modes 1 and 2, and four BP on Mode 3. In the remake, the move costs fourteen/ten BP on Normal, and seventeen/thirteen BP on Easy. Luigi will charge up a ball of electricity in his hands. When fully charged, pressing the B Button results in Luigi jumping on Mario. Another press on B Button at this time will send Luigi flying into the air, and one more B Button hit will allow Luigi to cast a thunderbolt below him, causing some damage to all enemies on the ground. The attack, if performed correctly, always lowers the enemies' defense. Thunder Bros. cannot hit airborne enemies unless the player fails the second Action Command.

Once the attack has been successfully executed eighteen times, the Advanced Command is learned. In the Advanced version, Luigi damages only one enemy with more damage. To execute it, the player should press B Button after the initial charge. Before Luigi lands on Mario, press A Button to make Mario step backwards. Press A Button again to make Mario pound Luigi into the ground with his Hammer. Luigi moves over to the target. By pressing B Button again when Luigi is underneath the target, Luigi attacks with a blue electrifying uppercut that can even hit airborne enemies. The Advanced version, when performed correctly, will also lower the enemy's attack power.

In Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions, the attack's animations are different. The first B Button press is for fully charging the orb instead of jumping, the latter occurs automatically. Instead of a thunderbolt, Thunder Bros. ends with Luigi casting the orb down, and it explodes upon contact with the ground. This explosion means the attack now hits airborne enemies. Failing the second Action Command instead has Luigi unleashing the electric energy from his hand to a single enemy, dealing moderate damage to that enemy. Instead of learning an Advanced Command, Luigi learns the Super Attack Super Thunder Bros.. In Super Thunder Bros, Luigi charges up the ball of electricity in front of Mario. B Button is used to finish charging, as with Thunder Bros. but this means the jump over Mario and A Button press to have Mario step backward are removed. The final uppercut has purple electricity instead of blue.

Trivia[edit]

  • Interestingly, the Bros. Attack in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions costs less Bros. Points to use its Super version than its regular version. This is possibly due to the former only targeting one enemy as opposed to latter targeting all enemies.
