Battle Plugs are powerful combat accessories used by the Mario Bros. and certain enemies in Mario & Luigi: Brothership. They are crafted with Spark Balls from Sprite Balls. Upon being plugged into Power Taps, their effects manifest at the cost of consuming their individual charges. Some Battle Plugs can enhance the effects of others when used together. This system is comparable to the badges and Battle Cards in previous installments of the series.
