Fire & Ice is aBros. Move inMario & Luigi: Brothership. The move is learned byMario andLuigi during their second visit toHeatfreeze Island, after they receive aFire Flower and anIce Flower from the guardians of the island.

This move is selected by moving to the left. This will cause Mario and Luigi to use the Fire and Ice Flowers to transform intoFire Mario andIce Luigi. Pressing will make Mario throw aFireball, while pressing will make Luigi throw anIce Ball. Fireballs can be used to melt frozen or ignite objects, while iceballs can be used to freeze objects or extinguish fires. Hitting an enemy with a fireball or iceballs will result in aFirst Strike that may inflict an enemy withBurn orIce.

Later on in the game, theGreat Conductor teaches Mario and Luigi how to use theBro Bomb onConductor Island, which is executed by holding or to charge up a bomb of fire and ice. The Bro Bomb can be used to destroy huge boulders as well as the front door ofFortress Zokket.

This ability is also used during the final battle. During the first phase,Reclusa continuously flees from the Bros., who ride a plug-shaped hoverboard hot on the fiend's heels. The Bros. can use their projectiles to negate the oncoming shots from enemies. When the Bros. catch up, Reclusa will charge up with either fire or ice, unleashing an attack that must be avoided by countering the element Reclusa is charging up with, before they blast the fiend with theBro Bomb. Fire & Ice is also used when Luigi uses hisLuigi Logic skill to haveSnoutlet create another plug-shaped hoverboard they ride to enter Weeping Reclusa's maw. As with the first phase of the fight, the Bros. can negate the enemy's projectiles with the appropriate projectile.

Notes[edit]

• The sound effect for when Mario and Luigi activate this ability is the same sound effect used when getting a power-up inNew Super Mario Bros. Wii. Additionally, the sound effects for throwing fireballs asFire Mario and iceballs asIce Luigi are also reused from this game.
• Although this ability and other Bros. Moves are generally disabled near walls, precise positioning and the change in hitboxes when transitioning into this ability enable the Bros. to get out of bounds or trigger loading zones that were meant to be blocked off (in specific situations).^[4][5]
