Editing Counterattack

[[File:Counterattack.png|thumb|240px|[[Mario]] about to counterattack a [[Spiny]] in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]''.]]
'''Counterattacks''' are a type of attack present in the ''[[Mario & Luigi (series)|Mario & Luigi]]'' series. When enemies attack on their turn, it can be countered by [[jump]]ing on or [[hammer]]ing the enemy. Almost every enemy provides a hint of which character it is going to attack (and thus which one needs to perform the counter). The counterattack's power is the same as a failed attack on the player's turn.

[[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Baby Mario]], [[Baby Luigi]] and [[Paper Mario (character)|Paper Mario]] counterattack using their hammers and their jumping ability; in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'' and ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]'', [[Bowser|Bowser]]'s counterattack moves are [[punch]]ing and [[Shell defense|ducking in his shell]]. If the player has a character's [[ATK-Up|attack power increased]], it will also boost their counterattack's power.

Counterattacks also appear in the giant battles of ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story'' and ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]''. [[Super Bowser]] or [[Giant Luigi]] use the touch screen to use their respective abilities to counterattack.

In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'', ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]'' and ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey'', the [[Guard|Emergency Block / Guard]] was incorporated making it a lesser, but easier, alternative to counterattacks.

In some games, the player can only win certain battles by only counterattacking; those battles being the battle with [[Shrowser]] in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', [[Thunder Sass]]'s battle in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]'', and Ludwig's battle in ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions''. In ''Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam'', a group of [[Hammer Bro|Hammer Bros.]] take away Mario, Luigi and Paper Mario's [[Command Block]]s once they capture and imprison them in [[Twinsy Tropics Dungeon]]. Before they acquire any blocks that allow them to directly attack, the trio must defeat the first few Hammer Bros. using counterattacks.

-'''Counterattacks''' are a type of attack present in the ''[[Mario & Luigi (series)|Mario & Luigi]]'' series. When enemies attack on their turn, their attacks can be countered by the playable characters, dealing extra damage to the enemies. Almost every enemy provides a hint of which character it is going to attack (and thus which one needs to perform the counter). The counterattack's power is often the same as a failed attack on the player's turn, though some can deal massive amounts of damage, or the damage is relative to the enemy's attack power.

-If Mario or Luigi is [[down]], the remaining brother will carry him on his shoulders on the enemy's turn, and his full weight will cause his counterattacks to become slower.
