Fire Bros. (move)

Fire Bros. is a simple Bros. Attack used by Mario and Luigi in the game Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga. The attack costs 6 BP in Modes 1 and 2, and 3 BP in Mode 3. Mario learns the move. This attack has Mario standing in front of Luigi, pressing the A Button at the correct intervals to charge up his Fireballs. Once a certain time has elapsed, Mario will fling the Fireballs he has made (how many depends on how many times the A Button was pressed succesfully). At just the right time, the B Button must be pressed to send the ball of flame into the designated enemy. Used properly, it is very effective!

Once the brothers have executed the attack successfully twenty times, the Advanced commands are learned. In the Advanced version, Mario stores the fire balls into a large fireball to throw at the enemy. The command s are the same except that when Luigi hits the fireballs back to Mario, the player should press A to stre the fireballs above his head. When all the fireballs have melded into a large fireball, Mario will jump up to it. Press A again to hit the fireball toward the enemy.

This attack has a small chance of inflicting the Burn status on enemies.
