Quick notes
- Special attacks consume Bros. Items. Partners in Time replaces BP-funded Bros. Attacks with an inventory of attack items.
- Shells reward an accurate alternating rhythm. Green Shell travels between the brothers until its sequence ends.
- Flowers provide elemental and group options. Bro Flower throws fireballs and can burn.
- Four-brother attacks demand complete participation. Cannonballer, Trampoline and Copy Flower use all four identities.
