Bros. Items, also known asBros. Attacks,^[1] areitems inMario & Luigi: Partners in Time. They are special items used byMario,Luigi,Baby Mario, andBaby Luigi during the course of their journey. Bros. Items are different from regular items in that they are used for attacking one or multiple enemies at once (oftentimes with a specializedjump attack), and depending on the item, they require at least two characters or all four characters to be active in battle when utilized. Bros. Items are introduced byToadsworth the Younger inHollijolli Village when Baby Mario and Baby Luigi fight the threeShroobs in the village, with theGreen Shell item, and later on the player obtains different kinds of Bros. Items, either from? Blocks or buying them fromitem shops.

Bros. Items replaceBros. Attacks fromMario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, though they are replaced by the very same attacks inMario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story (being named "Special Attacks" in that game), and in all subsequentMario & Luigi games.
