| The '''Bros. Ball'''<ref>"''I've dubbed this the Bros. Ball. Why you ask? Because you are bros. And you form a ball.''" — '''[[Toadsworth the Younger]]''', ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]''</ref> is a move usable by [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] that only appears in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]''.

| | '''Bros. Ball''' is a move learned by [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]''. In this move they both turn into a ball and can now move faster. Additionally, the Bros. Ball lets Mario and Luigi go under walls in the game. Later on, Mario and Luigi learn the ability to flatten [[Baby Mario]] and [[Baby Luigi]]. This move is called [[Baby Cakes]]. |

| ==History==
| | The Bros. Ball ability was also used much earlier in the game by the [[L33t Hamm3r Broz.]] The two [[Hammer Bro.|Hammer Bros.]] had an attack where one would use their mighty [[Hammer]] to smash another into a sphere before hitting him at the Baby Mario Bros.; this attack is very much like Bros. Ball. Also, one of the L33t Hamm3r Broz.' Hammers may break during an attempt to do this attack, resulting in a bouncy version of the Bros. Ball not used by Baby Mario and Baby Luigi. |

| In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', the move is taught to Mario and Luigi by [[Toadsworth]] and [[Toadsworth the Younger]] after [[Yoshi's Island (location)|Yoshi's Island]] is cleared and before the player heads for [[Gritzy Desert]], in which the move is required to clear a minigame in [[Peach's Castle]] to even gain access to the [[time hole]] leading to the area. When using this move, the bros both form themselves into a wheel and start rolling along the ground like a ball, allowing them to traverse through areas faster. Additionally, the Bros. Ball lets Mario and Luigi go under walls and small spaces in the game.

|
| Later on in the game, Mario and Luigi learn the ability to temporarily flatten [[Baby Mario]] and [[Baby Luigi]] so they can move under even smaller spaces. This move is called [[Baby Cakes]], and it is learned, along with the [[Baby Spin]], by the two Toadsworths after clearing [[Gritzy Caves]] and before the quartet head out to [[Thwomp Volcano]].
| | This move may be a nod to ''[[Mario Pinball Land]]''. |

| |
| In the ''[[Super Mario-Kun]]'' volumes adapted from ''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time'', Mario and Luigi use it as an attack rather than a utility move, where they smash into the [[Snoozorb]] in volume 35. Later, in volume 37, a four brother variation of the Bros. Ball is used against the [[Elder Princess Shroob]].
