Prohibited Command: Difference between revisions

'''Prohibited Command'''<ref>''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]'' digital manual, page 9</ref> is a status ailment in most [[Mario (franchise)|''Mario'']] [[Genre#Role-playing|RPG]] games.

In ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'', after [[Mario]] and [[Mallow]] join [[Geno]] while he is fighting [[Bowyer]], Bowyer will retort that a three-on-one fight is unfair. To compensate for this, the {{button|snes|Y}}, {{button|snes|X}} and {{button|snes|A}} buttons will appear in front of him. Bowyer will then fire an [[Aero]] at one of the buttons, which will effectively lock the ability to use that button's commands (magic, [[item]]s or attacks). Only one button can ever be locked at once, although Bowyer will continually fire Aeroes at the buttons every few turns until he is defeated. His [[Machine Made]] counterpart does this as well.

In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' and ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]'', the [[Boo]]s in [[Bowser's Castle]] can steal [[Command Block|command block]]s with their attacks, stopping the brothers from using them. During the last two boss fights with [[Popple]], he can steal one of the Bros.' hammers, preventing them from using any attacks involving their hammers. In the [[Prima Games]] guide for ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'', Prohibited Command is listed as four different effects: '''Jump X''', '''Hammer X''', '''Hand X''', and '''Item X'''.<ref>Stratton, Stephen, and Levi Buchanan.

In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'', when first exploring the [[Twinsy Tropics Dungeon]], a group of [[Hammer Bro]]s [[Stuff Retrieval|steal the bros' Command Blocks]], and they must be battled in order to recover the stolen Command Blocks; once the [[Flee]] Command Block is retrieved, the player may remain idle during subsequent fights in the mission by pressing {{button|3ds|R}}. [[Paper Kamek|The]] [[Kamek]]s will also disable whichever Command Block has been most-used by each bro during their battle (e.g. if Mario mostly used Jump, Luigi mostly used Bros. Attacks and Paper Mario mostly used items, those Command Blocks respectively are disabled for them for a few turns).
