Brawl Attack

Special Attacks are special moves that only appear in the game Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story and its 3DS remake, Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey. Bowser is able to use these, with each Special Attack using a certain amount of Special Points, or SP. Special Attacks even have a menu section in the star menu, where the player can watch demos and practice the attacks.

Bowser has a total of six Special Attacks that he gathers throughout the game. Like Mario & Luigi, Bowser has to unlock them in many areas of the game, though they are unlocked in a different way. To unlock these type of attacks for Bowser to use, the player must liberate Bowser's loyal, non-brainwashed troops. The player finds them in cages all around the Mushroom Kingdom. Out of the six, five of them would be found inside one of the cages. The last one is when the player collects all fifteen Blitties through the vacuum ability. Unlike Mario and Luigi's attacks, which use the and  buttons respectively, Bowser's attacks use the Stylus and Touch Screen.

Trivia

 * The top screen of Bowser's tutorials always show a lollipop-less Chuboomba being defeated by the acquired Special Move. However, in normal battle conditions, Chuboombas flee once the lollipop is removed.
