The weapon system is quite simplified in Mario and Luigi: Brotherhood. Mario and Luigi can charge at enemies with their jump attacks with equipped boots, and then they can get hammers. There are no other traditional role-playing weapons like swords, spears, or axes, which makes sense since it's meant to be family friendly.

Mario & Luigi: Brotherhood is the best early game weapon
Beat the competition with some great early shoe and hammer finds.
There is no variety in the types of weapons Mario and Luigi: Brotherhoodbut players will still find many different styles of boots and hammers throughout their playthrough. These examples are some of the best players to be found in the second half.
8 Gobblick Boots DX
Jump Attack 123/Stache 5
- Bonus Effect: Heal 10% HP when taking damage
- Location: Shipshape Island
Gobblick Boots DX is an upgraded version of a pair of boots that players can purchase earlier in the game. In the final section of the game, NPCs on Shipshape Island will challenge players against bosses they've fought before Mario and Luigi: Brotherhood. Glohm Gobblick is an upgraded version of Gobblick, in other words, one of the guardians of Great Beacon Island. Gobblick Boots DX has decent power stats with a Stache point bonus and the ability to heal HP based on the amount of damage dealt to the enemy.
7 Adafniki Bota
135 Jump Attack
- Bonus effect: 30% jump boost
- Location: Jellyfish Island
Adaphnikki boots can be purchased by completing the Dueling Geniuses side quest in Mario and Luigi: Brotherhood. Adafna and Techniki are two inventors in the game who used to be friends. With this side quest, players can help build friendships and earn a decent reward. Adaphnikki Boots will increase jumping attacks by 30% when combined. The only way to extend the combination is through an outlet Mario and Luigi: Brotherhood called Attack Boost, which can give Mario or Luigi an extra attack or hammer strike during their turn.
6 Accel Boots DX
Jump Attack 138/Speed 4
- Bonus effect: 30% speed increase when enemies are defeated
- Location: Skorchin Island
Accel Boots DX cannot be purchased in the normal way. Later in the game, players will encounter Glohm Snaptors like on Scorchin Island. There is a chance that these monsters will drop their boots if they are defeated in battle.

Mario & Luigi: Brotherhood – every turn Bros., ranking
They may look strange, but these skills can take these two plumbers far during their research.
There are several ways to increase item drops in battle with the Treasure Specs accessory Mario and Luigi: Brotherhood to the Loot Booster plug. Accel Boots DX are great to have as they can temporarily increase speed when players defeat an enemy.
5 Forge Boots DX
Jump Attack 142
- Bonus Effect: Increases damage by 30% when low on HP
- Location: Jellyfish Island
Forge Boots DX are located on Medusa Island, as are Adaphnikki Boots. They are associated with a mini-game that will feel right at home in a Mario's party collection Players have to make a jellyfish pizza for Adafna and if they get a good score, they will get a weapon as a reward. Forge Boots DX will increase damage when the equipped hero drops below a certain health level. It's like giving a character a last ditch effort if they can't heal at the moment.
4 Bros. Hammer DX
Hammer attack 96
- Bonus Effect: Defeating enemies temporarily increases BP by 4
- Location: Heathfreeze Island
Bros. Hammer DX can be found in several ways, but the first one will be on Heathfreeze Island via a treasure chest. It's not the strongest hammer weapon players can find, but it does temporarily increase BP in battle. BP is what players will use to perform Bros attacks Mario and Luigi: Brotherhood like Clockout Blow and Conductor Connector. They can be difficult to pull off, but they are worth the effort, as Brother Attacks are powerful magic skills. The more BP players have, the less time they have to spend drinking various syrups to restore BP in battle.
3 Sharpcask Hammer DX
Hammer attack 123/defense 6
- Bonus Effect: Increase defense by 30% when defeating enemies
- Location: Shipshape Island
Sharpcask Hammer DX can be purchased the same way players get Gobblick Boots DX. They just need to fight the Glohm version of the previous boss, Sharpcask, and then the NPC on Shipphape Island will reward the players with a weapon.

The 8 best quotes from Mario & Luigi: Brotherhood
These lines from Mario & Luigi: Brotherhood hit hard!
Sharpcask can be found on another island, Great Lighthouse Island, and the game's bosses are still quite difficult. Sharpcask Hammer DX increases defense when equipped and can also increase defense during battle whenever players destroy an enemy.
2 Whittledown Hammer DX
142 hammer attack
- Bonus Effect: Fewer enemies, more damage
- Location: Salt Tree
Whittledown Hammer DX can be found in the final dungeon of the game, Soli-Tree. It is found in a treasure chest and is one of several loot items in the game with this bonus effect. The fewer enemies in combat, the stronger this weapon will be. There are pieces of armor with this effect, as well as the reverse effect, such as a power boost with more enemies around. The downside of Whittledown Hammer DX is that fights with a lot of enemies reduce the damage, so it's best saved for boss fights only.
1 Gamble Hammer DX
Hammer attack 142/wielding 5
- Bonus Effect: Boost random stats when defeating enemies
- Location: Salt Tree
Gamble Hammer DX also risks equipping, but not as much as Whittledown Hammer DX. Normal stats are great, making him a powerful hammer for any bro. The bonus effect is also nice as it can increase a random stat from more attack power to defense. There's no downside to his gear, but players just have to deal with the randomness of the boost. It can be found in a treasure chest in the Salt Tree.
