Mighty Meteor is aBros. Attack that appears inMario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story andMario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey. This attack costs eightSP to use in the original, and twenty BP (twenty-two BP on Easy) in the remake. It is obtained fromDr. Toadley's intern inToadley Clinic after the threeStar Cures combine to make theMiracle Cure. After the Miracle Cure cures all infectedToads from theblorbs from theMushroom Kingdom and before Mario and Luigi leave the clinic, the intern will give Mario and Luigi all 10 Toadley ClinicAttack Pieces required to use this move.
When using this attack,Mario orLuigi sends a huge meteorite up into the sky. The player must control one of the brothers with the
and hold down the corresponding button ( for Mario, for Luigi) as it falls to reel back theirhammer, swinging it forward once the button is released. If the brother successfully hits the meteorite with their hammer, it crashes into the enemy to inflict damage and possiblylower the enemy's attack power. The meteorite then goes back to opposite brother, and the attack continues. If the brother fails to hit the meteorite before it hits the ground, the attack stops. This attack can hit enemies up to five times.
After successfully hitting the meteorite enough times, it bursts open and the Bros. receive a random item. The items are either anUltra Mushroom, aMax Nut, aStar Candy, or a1-Up Deluxe. The remake also includes theUltrasyrup Jar,Refreshing Herb andMax Syrup Jar items. This effect occurs even during boss fightsthe Gauntlet, allowing Mario and Luigi to effectively use more items than they are allowed, and since Star Candy fully replenishes SP, as well asHP, it is possible to attack and gain an item every turn, stopping only to regain SP with consumable items.
This attack is very similar to theSmash EggBros. Item fromMario & Luigi: Partners in Time, except the player uses hammers to knock an object into the enemies instead of kicking.
InMario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey, the meteor is now a 3D model that lacks the "?" icon and explodes into confetti when the attack ends successfully. The Bros. Attack also plays the last few notes of the classic level complete theme from the originalSuper Mario Bros. when it reveals an item. It also only hits enemies up to four times instead of five.
