The '''Firebrand''' is one of the two types of Hand Powers that is used by [[Mario]] in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' and its remake, ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]'', the other being the [[Thunderhand]], which is used by [[Luigi]]. The move is taught by the [[Fire and Thunder Gods|Fire God]] in the [[Fire Palace]], and [[Dash (Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga)|an advanced technique]] using the Firebrand is taught by the [[Jellyfish Sisters]], allowing Mario to burn Luigi so he can charge ahead extremely quickly. This can be used to pass through fast-moving spiked barrels, as well as move cannon ball-like objects and knock down [[Nokottasu]]s ([[Big Koopa Troopa]]s in the remake) blocking the path. To use this move, the player must have Mario as the lead brother, switch to the Firebrand command using {{button|gba|R}}/{{button|gba|L}}, and hold down {{button|gba|A}}, which causes Mario to conjure up a fireball in his hand. After fully charging the move, releasing {{button|gba|A}} will make Mario create a fireball that can be used to light [[Torch (object)|Torch]]es. | |||
In battle, the Firebrand can be used offensively against enemies, and to when using it, the player must press {{button|gba|A}} when Mario fully charges the fireball to perform the move successfully. Failure in doing so will result in Mario scorching himself and the move dealing less damage. Some enemies like [[Glurp]]s or [[Spiky Snifit]]s have a weakness to the Firebrand, and in a few cases, they can only be damaged by it. Other enemies (like [[Bowletta]]'s normal form and [[Mom Piranha]]'s red form) get healed by it instead. | In battle, the Firebrand can be used offensively against enemies, and to when using it, the player must press {{button|gba|A}} when Mario fully charges the fireball to perform the move successfully.

Also in the remake, Firebrand can be used to perform a [[First Strike]]. If this is done, enemies may be burned at the start of the battle. | Also in the remake, Firebrand can be used to perform a [[First Strike]]. If this is done, enemies may be burned at the start of the battle. | ||
