Mario and his allies have a wide array of powerful Special Moves in Super Mario RPG Remake. Read on to see the best Special Moves for each character, which moves are best to use in various situations in combat, and more!
| Special Move | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Super Jump | Rating: ★★★★★
・Best single-target Jump attack. ・Chaining Super Jumps deal massive damage. ・Low FP cost. ・Unlocks the strongest equipment in the game upon reaching 30 and 100 Super Jumps. ▶ How to Super Jump 100 Times |
| Jump | Rating: ★★★★★
・Low FP cost. ・Has a unique effect of permanently increasing damage every time it's used. ・Needs to be stacked, but will eventually outdamage your other attacks when you put effort to using it. ▶ Jump Max Damage and How to Increase |
| Ultra Jump | Rating: ★★★★☆ ・Timed bonus makes the attack multi-target. ・Effective for damaging multiple enemies. ・FP cost not worth if used without timed bonuses. |
Mario's Special Moves are considered the best attacks in the game. However, many of these attacks would require consecutive timed attacks to reach the Special Moves' maximum potential, which can take a while to master.
Mario notably has Jump, which has an effect unique to it: permanently increases its damage every time it's used for the rest of your playthrough. When you put effort to stacking it, it will eventually outdamage every attack you have, and for a very cheap FP cost!

Geno's Special Moves are considered to be the best in the game, both offensively and defensively. Geno Whirl is the strongest attack in the game, dealing a whopping 9999 damage to non-boss foes when timed right.
On the other hand, he can also buff an ally's attack and defense by 50% with a perfectly timed Geno Boost.

| Crusher | Rating: ★★★☆☆ ・Bowser's strongest single-target move. ・Learned at Lv. 15. |
Mechakoopa Stomp and Crusher are Bowser's two strongest moves. However, with Bowser not being a powerful character overall, it's hard to recommend him or his Special Moves as there are characters that can hit harder and use less FP than him like Mario and Geno.
