+The '''Bros. Ball'''<ref>"''I've dubbed this the Bros. Ball. Why you ask? Because you are bros. And you form a ball.''" — '''[[Toadsworth the Younger]]''', ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]''</ref> is a move usable by [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] that only appears in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]''.
-'''Bros. Ball''' is a move learned by [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]''. In this move they both turn into a ball and can now move faster. Additionally, the Bros. Ball let's Mario and Luigi go under walls in the game. Later on, Mario and Luigi learn the ability to flatten their [[Baby Mario Bros.|Baby selves]]. This move is called [[Baby Cakes]].
+==History==
+===''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time''===
+[[File:Bros._Ball.png|thumb|Bros. Ball being used in the [[Koopaseum]].]]
+[[File:BrosBall.png|frame|left]]
+In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', the move is taught to Mario and Luigi by [[Toadsworth]] and [[Toadsworth the Younger]] after [[Yoshi's Island (location)|Yoshi's Island]] is cleared and before the player heads for [[Gritzy Desert]], in which the move is required to clear a minigame in [[Peach's Castle]] to even gain access to the [[time hole]] leading to the area. When using this move, the bros both form themselves into a wheel and start rolling along the ground like a ball, allowing them to traverse through areas faster. Additionally, the Bros. Ball lets Mario and Luigi go under walls and small spaces in the game.
-Interestingly, the Bros. Ball ability was used much earlier in the game by the [[L33t Hamm3r Broz.]] The two [[Hammer Bros.]] had an attack where one would use their mighty [[Hammer]] to smash another into a sphere before hitting him at the Baby Mario Bros.; this attack is very much like Bros. Ball. Also, one of the L33t Hamm3r Broz.' Hammers may break during an attempt to do this attack, resulting in a bouncy version of the Bros. Ball not used by Baby Mario and Baby Luigi.
+Later on in the game, Mario and Luigi learn the ability to temporarily flatten [[Baby Mario]] and [[Baby Luigi]] so they can move under even smaller spaces. This move is called [[Baby Cakes]], and it is learned, along with the [[Baby Spin]], by the two Toadsworths after clearing [[Gritzy Caves]] and before the quartet head out to [[Thwomp Volcano]].

+[[File:BrosBall-4Bros SMKv37.png|thumb|left|Mario, Luigi, Baby Mario, and Baby Luigi rolled up in the four brother version of the ball in the ''Super Mario-Kun'', volume 37.]]
+In the ''[[Super Mario-Kun]]'' volumes adapted from ''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time'', Mario and Luigi use it as an attack rather than a utility move, where they smash into the [[Snoozorb]] in volume 35. Later, in volume 37, a four brother variation of the Bros. Ball is used against the [[Elder Princess Shroob]].
