It has been requested that this article be rewritten and expanded to include more information.
- “Attack Pieces are fragments that form Special Attacks. If you collect all 10 of the Attack Pieces, you'll be able to use that Special Attack.”
- —Starlow, Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story
Attack Pieces are special puzzle piece items that were introduced in Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story and reappear in Mario & Luigi: Dream Team. They are usually found in singular areas, and collecting ten of them in one area will grant Mario and Luigi with a powerful Special Attack in Bowser's Inside Story, Bros. Attack (in the Real World) and Luiginary Attack (in the Dream World) in Dream Team.
Most Attack Pieces can be found in and collected by striking blocks that resemble them, though others can be obtained by different methods (ex. from NPCs after completing certain objectives).
