Fire & Ice is a Bros. Move in Mario & Luigi: Brothership. The move is learned by Mario and Luigi during their second visit to Heatfreeze Island, after they receive a Fire Flower and an Ice Flower from the guardians of the island.

This move is selected by moving to the left. This will cause Mario and Luigi to use the Fire and Ice Flowers to transform into Fire Mario and Ice Luigi. Pressing will make Mario throw a Fireball, while pressing will make Luigi throw an Ice Ball. Fireballs can be used to melt frozen or ignite objects, while iceballs can be used to freeze objects or extinguish fires. Hitting an enemy with a fireball or iceballs will result in a First Strike that may inflict an enemy with Burn or Ice.

Later on in the game, the Great Conductor teaches Mario and Luigi how to use the Bro Bomb on Conductor Island, which is executed by holding or to charge up a bomb of fire and ice. The Bro Bomb can be used to destroy huge boulders as well as the front door of Fortress Zokket.

This ability is also used during the final battle. During the first phase, Reclusa continuously flees from the Bros., who ride a plug-shaped hoverboard hot on the fiend's heels. The Bros. can use their projectiles to negate the oncoming shots from enemies. When the Bros. catch up, Reclusa will charge up with either fire or ice, unleashing an attack that must be avoided by countering the element Reclusa is charging up with, before they blast the fiend with the Bro Bomb. Fire & Ice is also used when Luigi uses his Luigi Logic skill to have Snoutlet create another plug-shaped hoverboard they ride to enter Weeping Reclusa's maw. As with the first phase of the fight, the Bros. can negate the enemy's projectiles with the appropriate projectile.
