| |align=right | | The '''Counterattack''' is a type of attack present in the ''[[Mario & Luigi (series)|Mario & Luigi]]'' series. When some enemies attack, it can be countered by jumping on or hammering the enemy. Almost every enemy provides a hint of which character it is going to attack (and thus which one needs to perform the counter). The counterattack's power is the same as a failed attack on the player's turn. |

| '''Counterattacks''' are a type of attack present in the ''[[Mario & Luigi (series)|Mario & Luigi]]'' series. When enemies attack on their turn, their attacks can be countered by the playable characters, dealing extra damage to the enemies. Almost every enemy provides a hint of which character it is going to attack (and thus which one needs to perform the counter). The counterattack's power is often the same as a failed attack on the player's turn, though some can deal massive amounts of damage, or the damage is relative to the enemy's attack power. | |

| [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Baby Mario]], [[Baby Luigi]], and [[Paper Mario (character)|Paper Mario]] counterattack enemies by using their [[hammer]]s and [[jump]]ing ability; in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'' and ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]'', [[Bowser]]'s counterattack moves are [[punch]]ing and [[Shell defense|ducking in his shell]]. If the player has a character's [[POW-Up|attack power increased]], it also boosts their counterattack's power, though if the characters are [[invisible|under the effects]] of a [[Boo Biscuit]], counterattacks deal no damage. | | [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] counterattack using their [[Hammers]] and their [[jump]] ability; in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'', [[Bowser|Bowser's]] counterattack moves are punching and ducking in his shell. When there is a Giant Bowser battle, Bowser's counterattacks are punches, as with his normal form, and fireballs. If the player has someone's attack powered up, it will also boost their counterattack's power. |

|
| Counterattacks also appear in the giant battles of ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story'' and ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]''. [[Super Bowser]] or [[Giant Luigi]] use the Touch Screen to use their respective abilities to counterattack.
| | In the [[Paper Mario (series)|Paper Mario]] series, it is replaced by block which halves damage. |
|
| |
|
| In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'', ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]'', and ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey'', the [[Guard|Emergency Block / Guard]] was incorporated, making it a lesser but easier alternative to counterattacks.

| In some games, the player can win certain battles only by counterattacking, those battles being [[Shrowser]]'s battle in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', [[Thunder Sass]]'s battle in ''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team'', and [[Ludwig von Koopa|Ludwig]]'s battle in ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions''. In ''Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam'', a group of [[Hammer Bro]]s. takes away Mario, Luigi, and Paper Mario's [[Command Block]]s once they capture and imprison them in [[Twinsy Tropics Dungeon]]. Before they acquire any blocks that allow them to directly attack, the trio must defeat the first few Hammer Bros. by using counterattacks.

| If Mario or Luigi is [[down]], the remaining brother will carry him on his shoulders on the enemy's turn, and his full weight will cause his counterattacks to become slower.
