Artwork of Spin Jump from Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions. It is the most common Bros. Move, appearing in most games.

Bros. Moves are special actions that Mario and Luigi use as a team in the Mario & Luigi series. They are used in the overworld of the game to various effects. Commonly, they allow the Mario Brothers to access certain areas or interact with certain objects. Some of them are one brother using an attack on the other brother, while others are original actions. Using a Bros. Move requires both brothers to stand next to each other.

Bros. Moves are typically taught to Mario and Luigi by other characters. Such characters are usually pairs, demonstrating the move themselves as part of the tutorial. Sometimes the interaction where a move is learned takes place in a location separate from where the player can encounter an obstacle the move is intended for, requiring some backtracking to get the move then return to the obstacle in question.

Bros. Moves are absent in Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam, which instead has the characters use Trio Moves.

History

Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga / Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions

In Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga and its remake Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions Bros Moves are instead called Bros. Actions. Unlike later games, these games have the move used depend on if either Mario or Luigi are standing in front of the other brother. In addition, Bros. Actions are learned at the same time as this game's Bros. Attacks. Mario and Luigi learn the following Bros. Actions:

Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time

Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time also has Bros. Moves. With Baby Mario and Baby Luigi as playable characters, they can also use Bros. Moves. In addition, certain moves can be done by having the adult Mario Bros. use their Bros. Moves on the younger counterparts.


Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story / Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey

Bros. Moves are used again in Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story and its remake Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey.


Mario & Luigi: Dream Team

Bros. Moves return in Mario & Luigi: Dream Team. In this game, the majority of them are taught to Mario and Luigi by Big Massif and Lil' Massif, on Mount Pajamaja. The first two moves are instead taught by two Shelltops in Dozing Sands. Big Massif and Lil' Massif call their moves techniques that their family has passed down for ages, and are impressed and surprised that Mario and Luigi learn them quickly.

Bros. Moves cannot be used in the Dream World by Mario and Dreamy Luigi, a topic that comes up in the story in a section where Prince Dreambert laments the duo cannot Spin Jump while in Dreamy Mount Pajamaja. However. Dreamy Luigi has the ability to control Luiginary Works, which substitutes for field actions normally assigned to Bros. Moves. One Luiginary Work, the Luiginoid Formation, summons a group of Luiginoids that work with Mario. They can perform various moves, some of which are called Luiginary abilities or Luiginary Attacks.

Mario and Luigi learn the following Bros. Moves.
