Max-Mix Vortex is Luigi's final Bros. Attack in Mario & Luigi: Brothership. It is given to Luigi by Burnadette and Chilliam after collecting the power of their bond to fill the Bonding Can. Its icon resembles a cyan, orange, and yellow top with a golden rim. This Bros. Attack costs 14 BP to initiate, and targets all enemies on the field.
Upon starting the attack, Mario and Luigi transform into Fire Mario and Ice Luigi. The player must press to make Mario throw Fireballs on the tornado, and press to make Luigi throw Ice Balls on the tornado. If the balls hit another of the same type, they will bounce out, while if they hit one of the opposite type, they will cancel each other out. Once the tornado is filled, Mario and Luigi do a spin jump in the tornado so that they can then control and catch enemies in it to do damage. There are eighteen slots in the tornado.
Depending on the type and number of balls that make it up, the size and the type of the tornado will change. If it is mostly fireballs, it will become a fire tornado and have a Burn effect. If the tornado is mostly ice balls, it will become an ice tornado with an Ice effect. If there are a lot of both fire and ice balls, it will become a Bomb Tornado that deals extra damage.
The player can move the tornado towards the enemies with the 
to snatch them into the air to damage them. Tapping 
will keep the tornado going longer. The more balls that the tornado has, the greater the rating the player receives, ranging from "OK!" to "Excellent!" ratings.
This attack functions virtually the same after the windup as Luiginary Typhoon from Mario & Luigi: Dream Team, using the 
/ to move the typhoon/tornado around while mashing 
for the Luiginoids to hammer enemies or for both bros to throw fire and ice balls at them.
