Using the UFO Vacuum Bros. Move in Mario & Luigi: Brothership
UFO Vacuum as first learned in-game

The UFO Vacuum is a Bros. Move in Mario & Luigi: Brothership. This move is executed by holding X Button while using the UFO Spin. This causes the UFO Spin to suck up objects such as coins inside vents in the ground. Using the UFO Vacuum on certain small platforms allows Mario and Luigi to move around with the UFO Spin while carrying the platform, allowing them to shield from Lava Geysers or move them around to set up extra platforms to jump across (as shown in the UFO Vacuum puzzle in Brrrning Sea's Great Lighthouse Island). This move can also be used to suck up enemies, and doing so will result in a First Strike on the enemy, which will act like a First Strike done by jumping.

This move is learned on Skorcheen Island, when Mario and Luigi are blocked from moving forward by Lava Geysers.
