Super Bouncer is aBros. Attack used inMario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story andMario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey. This attack, along with theYoo Who Cannon, uses sevenSP in the original game, while in the remake, it uses twelve, a two SP difference from the Yoo Who Cannon. To use it, the player must collect all 10Energy HoldAttack Pieces.
When using this attack,Luigi hops on a giant, starred, pink-colored ball, andMario has to spike it by pressing the button. After a while, Luigi and the ball will descend down onto the enemies. While it is landing, the player has to control Luigi to put him in the middle of the ball and press the button. After that, the ball floats down to Mario so he can spike it again. If Luigi is too close to one of the edges, if the wrong button (or no button) is pressed, or when Mario fails to spike, the attack stops. This attack can hit enemies up to eight times.
InMario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey, Luigi balances on the ball instead of "hugging" it, and he bounces off the enemy one last time before kicking the ball down on them at the end if the attack is performed successfully. In addition, the attack only hits enemies five times instead of eight. Although Luigi still balances on the ball in theCholesteroad challenge, he will not perform the final slam, allowing the attack to continue.
