Mad Skillathon
- “Awww yeah! You 'bout to pull out the mad skills, boyeeeee?”
- —Skillit, Mario & Luigi: Dream Team
The Mad Skillathon is a talent show event held in Wakeport in Mario & Luigi: Dream Team. Skillit is the host. Much like the Cholesteroad in Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story and the Attackathon in Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam, the Mad Skillathon consists of a series of endurance minigames involving Bros. Attacks. Its name is a pun on "marathon" and "skill."
Usually, the player fights against robotic monsters, greatly resembling the ones seen in the Attacks menu's demos except with arms and legs that make them resemble crabs. The red ones are on the ground and resemble crabs. They also come in a larger variation, which has to be damaged multiple times to defeat it. Blue monsters that fly appear exclusively during the Slingsniper game. Damaging and defeating monsters allows the player to obtain points, with the minigame concluding automatically upon reaching 999 points. (Star Rocket is an exception where points are earned for collecting stars instead of defeating monsters.)
There are three ranks the player can achieve, and like in the Cholesteroad, the player can earn prizes for achieving each rank: B rank (200 points) which awards the player 100 coins, A rank (500 points) which awards the player 300 coins, and S rank (800 points) which awards the player with an exclusive piece of gear. When S rank is obtained for all attacks, the player is awarded with the Pro Wear.
