Something fun to learn about the Brothership Bros. Attacks is that even if they have similar moves (Mario has red shell and Luigi has green) the actual function of the move is different! The Japanese website goes into detail about them and it’s revealed that Mario’s will be heavy single-target damage while Luigi’s is an AOE attack. This has me really excited to see what they do for other bros moves later in the game Edit: A lot of people have been telling me below that’s how the shells were in Dream Team and I do know this is how they work in DT. I just thought the new cool finisher cutscenes the bros get in Brothership would hit one enemy with Mario’s shell, while the shell would explode or something hitting everyone with Luigi’s shell. It kinda slipped my mind it would be talking about the move as a whole and not the finisher haha
This was the case in Dream Team as well (and maybe Paper Jam but I can't recall)! I don't think the game ever drew attention to it though; you had to notice when selecting which enemy to target that you could do so for Mario but not Luigi.
So its like the shells in Dream Team. The green shell from Luigi targeted random and the red shell from Mario let you select a target and it would only move to the next one if the selected on was defeated
The first game even referred to Bowser as a "dark sorcerer"! It even directly states that Bowser was directly responsible for all the toads being turned into blocks!
@@pixellord2370Very true the dude has hax to just conjure up a weapon at his side anytime but nobody really talks about it nor gives him credit for it.
With the mention of Thunder Bros, it reminds me just how much I wish Luigi had Lightning Powers more. I just feel like it fits more than just giving him Green Fire when it comes to this stuff
Apparently later on it has a really cool card mechanic that brings a bunch of depth to the combat Honestly makes me wanna play it just so I can see why peeps praise the combat of Paper Jam so much
The gameplay is great but everything else is mediocre to awful. If you’re willing to put up with dumb filler to get to the good stuff, I think you’d enjoy it.
The funny thing was that cannonballer was I think the first bros attack shown off in the American commercial when they launched the baby’s out of cannons, i miss cursed and weird Nintendo commercials
The original Mario and Luigi commerical where they play that timely melody as they show the bros growing up fighting each other, only to end up being buddies in the end was always a tearjerker. Just something so nostalgic about it.
this is one of the better m&l videos ive seen in a while. you give love and praise to every entry and their specific attacks and it’s just so nice to see instead of something more one-sided
25:59 one thing to add about luigianary Typhoon 🌀 is that I believe you can also catch Mario in it to by accident or intentionally he doesn’t take any damaged but he makes a funny sound effect and keeps on cheering after he gets back up on his feet always for that was funny and sweet that not even getting hit by a massive typhoon of Luigi’s will make Mario angry at his bro
You can I did this all the time I first discovered it by accident but after discovering it every time I used the move I would always pick up Mario first because it was hilarious 😂
Paper Jam’s attacks will be why I will always love the game even though I understand why most people don’t. They are both difficult to do consistently meaning you have to focus a lot but very satisfying to do.
A lot of the hate came from the unnecessary Sticker Star hate, where a group of people decided that anything that wasn't TTYD was the worst thing ever, somehow making the Paper Mario fanbase extremely toxic. It's really a shame cause the games were fine and this one as well, but having been a Sonic fan for years, you get used to the loudest members of the fanbase not actually being fans of the series they're griping about, just trolls looking for targets or something to complain about AVGN style.
@@MarioMastar in some ways I agree however when most people see your series’ main appeal as “interesting locations and characters” and the game doesn’t have that, then most people will be disappointed.
I love how kirby star allies looked at mighty meteor from mario and luigi bowsers inside story and were like "yea, we can do that" Kirby proceeds tk baseball bat a meteor through multiple planets
Man I love the Superstar Saga bros attacks because instead of using items, M&L just freaking combo people using the sickest moves, then they can learn advance versions of those attacks and its so cool.. SOO COOL
I REALLY wish the advanced moves returned in any of the games. Shame that was a one off idea cause it really incentivized using the moves for more than just doing damage in various ways. Especially since the advanced versions often had hidden mechanics, like Splash bros allowing Mario to stomp on spiky enemies (letting you damage Queen Bean without removing her crown), and Swing bros giving you a free item.
7:55 personally This is a really fun attack to use Especially in the remaster Cuz look at bowser! He's got a whistle!!! it's like commanding my own lil army of bob-ombs , constantly blowing the whistle to instruct them where to go and finally blowing it hard as if I'm yelling "CHAAAARGE" it's MAD and i absolutely love it
I'm surprised that with your love of Mega Thwonk you forgot about the cute characterisation at the end with Giant Luigi leaning into frame doing double finger guns like a dork.
Copy Flower just made me feel like a bad ass when I pulled it off perfectly. With how fast it went, and the constant sound effects. Absolutely destroyed
I love how the game balanced the "infinites" by having the babies heavily resemble the adults so it's harder to know which button to press as it gets faster. Especially the chain chomp where you actually fail faster if you hammer the chomp, one of the few special attacks that has an input that punishes you. (technically mixed flower also does if you throw the small fireballs at the giant fire ball, it'll shrink in size).
26:26 This line made me double take Dont everyone hate natural disasters tho? Doesn’t everyone like weather powers in games? Idk im thinking about it more than I should
Jump Helmet, Jetboard Bash and Shy Guy Squad are my eternal favorites. They just feel so, sooo powerfull. Hitting the Exellent on these feels like hitting the Enemys with Bombs. (Btw im pretty sure i never saw that Jet Attack from the Pi'illodium so thanks for that)
I can remember my best friend and me trying to recreate bros attacks in real life (if it was possible), like kicking a football to a wall to recreate the green shell attack, or jumping down from various places in the playground to recreate magic window... Anyway, awesome video, my all time favorite bros attack is the trio kite. We wait together for Brothership!✌
One thing I love about the trio racket is that on random occasions, regular Mario will do the finishing hit, and he really puts his all into it with him whipping around like he does in his bomb derby move
Yeah, seeing Mario Luigi and PM have unique finishers was cool, especially PM turning into a paper Fan. They got SO creative with the paperfication animations.
13:30 I dont think the bombs are completely original to the bomb derby attack, because if i recall correctly one of the Koopa Kids throw very similar looking bombs in one of the New Super Mario Bros games (im pretty sure its New Super Mario Bros U. with Lemmy being the Koopa Kid that throws them)
10:53 Actually thats why superstar saga is my favorite mario & luigi game 11:48 GUILTY SMASH!! 31:20 just look at how pissed mario is when bowser does that airshio attack
6:09 For the shell, the quick snap to excellent in the original version of BIS feels so much better than the wind up and the kick in the remake. When I think of a shell move I want the kicks to build power and then boom! The rhythm of the kick, excellent!, and the filling of the badge of the badge meter hits the dopamine receptors just right (I’ve played this game since I was 7, I go through periods of not playing it, but there isn’t a moment were suddenly I’m thinking, what if they just made a sequel. But then how could perfect ever be topped? (Dream team is still fire tho.)
Kind of like this "worst to best" format too. the shotgun to get through it quickly but explains just enough to know why it's placed where it is. I don't disagree with any of these entries. Really shows he actually thought of every entry and didn't just throw them in cause "oh yeah, I forgot these exist" like usual ranking videos do (you can always tell when the video maker never actually played what they're ranking)
One of the missing outcomes of Advanced thunder bros was Luigi doing an Lightning Blade from Naruto instead of hitting the enemy, and you actually do more dmg but at the cost of the debuff
Superstar Saga is amazing in terms of the special moves. The advance moves were cool due to the fact that Mario came up with new moves on the spot. Very very cool.
Something really unspoken about Splash Bros is that in their Advanced version, it doesn't only lets you hit a spiked enemy with it, it does bonus damage to them. It is an actually devastating weapon against Cackletta first phase
I love messing with the bros/special attacks in this series and I'm super excited for M&L Brothership. A pretty noticeable fun fact for Paper Jam's Trio attacks, if the enemy's paper self were to shatter into pieces at the end of the attack, that would mean the boss/enemy is out of health. Similar effect to when Magic Window or the like would cancel out if the boss was defeated. A lot of charm and care goes into these moves too. Probably the most well shown charm is in the JP version of OG Superstar Saga as each bros moves have various levels of detail on when you miss input them, even the advanced ones! :D
Superstar saga bros attacks hit different they feel so natural and more fancy as it’s mostly just the bros doing combos And I remember learning them the first time as a kid and it taking a while for me to figure out how they work or what they do whereas the rest of the series the attacks feels very easy to do and learn Getting that excellent and advanced in SS was unbeatable in feeling
"Only leveled up my HP stat in my playthrough" Oh hey, I did the exact same thing as a kid. I don't even remember why? I think I just always mashed A during the level up bonus and never realized I could use it on other stats.
I like Mega Thwonk because it kinda has a bit of energy from the Superstar Saga Bros. Attacks. Like, take out the Mega Mushroom, and I could see them doing something similar
I've always found Sling Sniper to be one of the better Bros Attacks in the series, honestly. There's an element of precision to it, since if you hit the target right in the centre of the sweetspot, it'll do critical damage and send them flying. Highest consistent damage output of any Bros attack in the game if you've got the skill for it.
Imagine if for bob-omb brigade bowser would shoot out like a jet of fire to set off all the bob-ombs at once! i definitely agree there are definitely cooler ways to present it :3
So funny thing about bomb derby, i struggled a lot doing the timing when i saw the demo for it at first. Only a good way into the game did i notice that you can throw both the bomb and the swing at the same time and you will always land an excellent. Bomb derby became my favorite dream team bros move. Luoginary will have my heart, but the bomb derby is my favorite overworld bros attack
15:48 To me, the balloon actually seems very similar to the giant balloons in Wii Sports Resort in Island Flyover, which also have many smaller ones inside
I think Mighty Meteor should get a bit of extra credit just because of how incredibly useful it is during the Colosseum, especially in round 7. When your items are pre-determined, every one counts, and the meteors sometimes even give you BETTER items than what you go in with.
It was only a matter of time, ngl as a paper mario STAN, never playing mario & luigi until SUPER late i learned to appreciate those games, same fun plots and dialouge and the attacks are fun.
I think from what we've seen Brother ship will bave evolved attack like jump where they help eachother or hammer where they go spin Then have bros attack that can be evolved with ability you get throuhout the game Exemple at first green shell is normal than luigi get thunder then shell is electric But hey that's a theory a game theory Thx for reading
I don't know if anyone else experienced this, but when I would use Thunder Bros, I'd intentionally fail the attack because Luigi would debuff the enemy with DEF Down after having a mislaunch. I haven't heard anyone else talking about it so I don't know if I had a fake copy or what, but I remember using it during the Cackletta fight in order to deal serious damage to her during Phase 2. If someone else remembers Luigi's failed Thunder Bros applying DEF Down onto the target enemy, please back me up here. I'm not crazy, I swear
Luigi: What I'm-a gonna do now: is I'm gonna learn you how-a to play ButtBall! Mario: *mutters* Oh Mama-Mia... *small snicker* I... It's just so stupid, I love it. Starlow: What the... You know what, I was gonna a smarty-pants, but nah. Mario: *whispers to Starlow* Good call. I've said this joke before but in the BiS remake, "Super Bouncer" has a funny animation on the final hit where Luigi is just standing there as it falls and as it goes for the bounce off Luigi just ground pounds it, kupo. And everytime I think back to my early RU-vid days and I think of the Game Grumps and Dan's iconic line, kupo: "What were gonna do now: Is i'm gonna learn ya how to play ButtBall."
I love this video. I feel kinda like a fake fan with the Mario and Luigi series. Never played partners in time. Only beat Bowsers inside story. Never ended up beating Superstar Saga or Dream Team. But your video shows your passion and knowledge and I appreciate that.
Going based off what we've seen in the trailer, I'm tempted to believe that the bouncing move where Mario jumps off of Luigi's feet and that one flipping hammer move are bros moves in a similar vein to Superstar Saga ones. And the Superstar Saga Bros Attacks are in general my favorite because they are usually based on the abilities you get that help you progress through the game. The inclusion of the Shells implies to me there might be 2 versions of Bros Attacks in the games. Ability based like in SSS and Item based like in the rest of the series. That's just my speculation tho.
I think instead that that attack and the one were Luigi smacked Mario into the enemies doing and AOE attack are rather the regular jump and hammer attacks, just amped up in comparison to the other games. The fact that there isn't a close up when they do the last blow unlike the 3D Red Shell makes me belive it.
For my favorite attack it has to go between Magic Window (OG) or Mega Thwonk loved how MW could go indefinitely if you were skilled enough, always been a blast to use, Mega Thwonk, it’s a giant Luigi, do I even need to say more? In the games that the bros have a unique move set as attacks, Luigi always has the better more fun ones imo
While I appreciate snack basket for what it is. It single-handedly prevented me from completing bowser’s inside story because I could never mash hard enough to get the required excellent rating to progress the story making it one of two games I couldn’t complete because of a required mashing segment
I think luiginary typhoon shouldve been moved up just a little bit Simply because you can actually suck mario into the typhoon It doesnt do snything as far as i know its just funny But you qlso didnt mention that by mashing B the luiginoids hammer whoevers in the typhoon to deal more damage
I’m pretty sure they were almost always called bros attacks I don’t recall them ever getting called special attacks. Even bowser’s were called brawl attacks.
