Editing Captain Command

'''Captain Commands''' are special abilities used by the Captains in the ''[[Minion Quest: The Search for Bowser]]'' and ''[[Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]'' modes of ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]'' and ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]'' respectively. They require CP (Captain Points) to use, some of which is restored in between rounds. The amount of CP restored after each round is 1 if the captain has a maximum of 1-5 CP, 2 if the captain has a maximum of 6-8 CP, and 3 if the captain has a maximum of 9 or 10 CP. They can be used by either touching their icon on the touch screen or by pressing the {{button|3ds|Pad}}. In ''Minion Quest: The Search for Bowser'', any Captain Command can be assigned for any slot, although the bottom slot is fixed for that Captain's exclusive Captain Command. In ''Bowser Jr.'s Journey'', the First Officer can also use their own Captain Commands, using up their own CP and are used by touching their icon on the touch screen or by pressing {{button|3ds|L}} or {{button|3ds|R}}. There are many enemy captains between the two games who use Captain Commands as well.
