Mario with the Heavy G status in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga

Heavy G, also known as Gravity +,[1] is a status effect in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga and Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions. Mario and Luigi are the only ones who can be affected with this status effect. They can receive this status by wearing certain Clothing, or by eating a Red Pepper. Cackletta's void attack can give the Mario Bros. Heavy G as well. The affected character falls faster on jump attacks and defense, and makes the hammer and Hand Power attacks and defense slower, but lessens the input window; this makes it harder to attack or counterattack at the correct time. The status is indicated by a very large weight reading "1t" on the afflicted brother. In the remake, this only affects counter-attacking. Light G is the opposite of this effect.

A similar effect also appears in Super Paper Mario, known as "De-jumped". If the player touches a Heavy Cursya or uses a Heavy Meal, it will temporarily limit the player character's jump height to a much lower amount.
