Sliding haymaker
- “It's just a theory, but I think ifhepunches while moving, he'll punch much harder than before!”
- —Toadbert,Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story
Thesliding haymaker, also called theSlide Punch[1] or thesliding punch,[2] is one ofBowser's moves inMario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story and its3DS remake,Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey. Bowser learns this move afterMario andLuigi defeatDurmite in Bowser'sNerve Cluster. They head further in the area when a lot ofBiffiduses drill down the ice the brothers are currently on, dropping them onto a small area. In this place, they findToadbert, who is studying anubbin, which Luigi hits, dropping a wall and giving Bowser a tingling feeling in his arm. Toadbert tells them what he believed happened. With this move, Bowser is able to continue his journey.
To perform the move, the player must punch normally using the
button, and hold down the
in the direction they want Bowser to move. This move can be used to cross ledges that Bowser would normally be unable to cross on his own (called "Slide Fit" by a sign inBumpsy Plains), move across treadmills in the opposite direction (called "Treadmill Fit" by a sign inBowser Path), and break bigger rocks than possible with a normal punch.
In addition, Bowser uses this move during his initial boss battles inMario & Luigi: Dream Team andMario & Luigi: Brothership.
