The '''Yo Bro''' is a [[Hammer Bro]] variant encountered at [[Woohoo Hooniversity]] in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]''. Its name and appearance reference [[wikipedia:hip hop culture|hip-hop culture]], with "yo" and "bro" being commonly used words among hip-hop-oriented youths, and wearing baggy clothing common among these youths as well. It sports a fez, a cape and two yo-yos based on [[Koopa Shell]]s, one red and one green. Whichever yo-yo it spins will indicate whether it attacks [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]]. It has a charge-up ability that lets it deal more damage, and can also feint an attack, which is indicated when the "spinning" sound is not heard. Like other Koopa-like enemies in the game, Yo Bros. are healed by fire. Yo Bros. occasionally accompany [[Laser Snifit]]s in battle. However, Yo Bros aren't fought anywhere in Woohoo Hooniversity's basement.
The Yo Bro will spin one of its colored yo-yos to indicate whether it attacks [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]]; the yo-yo will audibly whir before it strikes. It may also charge-up, which lets it deal more damage and also feint attacks, which is indicated when the "spinning" sound is not heard. Like many other Koopa-like enemies in the game, Yo Bros. are healed by [[Firebrand|fire]], though they are weak to [[Thunderhand|thunder]].


In the Japanese version, Yo Bros. had a chance to drop [[Shroom Bells]] upon defeat; the remake makes this possible in all versions. Additionally, Yo Bros. may cross their arms in their idle animation.

The Yo Bro is a Hammer Bro variant that appears in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga and its remake, Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions. It is encountered at Woohoo Hooniversity, where it only appears in battle alongside other enemies such as Laser Snifits. Its name and appearance reference hip-hop culture, with "yo" and "bro" being commonly-used slang; the name is also a portmanteau on "yo-yo" and Hammer Bro. It sports a fez with a small bean sprout on the front, a medallion on its neck, and two yo-yos based on Koopa Shells, one red and one green.

BattleEdit

The Yo Bro will spin one of its colored yo-yos to indicate whether it attacks Mario or Luigi; the yo-yo will audibly whir before it strikes. It may also charge-up, which lets it deal more damage and also feint attacks, which is indicated when the "spinning" sound is not heard. Like many other Koopa-like enemies in the game, Yo Bros. are healed by fire, though they are weak to thunder.

In the Japanese version, Yo Bros. had a chance to drop Shroom Bells upon defeat; the remake makes this possible in all versions. Additionally, Yo Bros. may cross their arms in their idle animation.
