In Super Mario RPG Remake, some attacks have an elemental attribute, dealing more damage to enemies weak to that element. Read to learn the list of elements and their effects.

List of Elements

All Elemental Damage Methods

Ice	Snowy Ice Bomb
Lightning	Thunderbolt Shocker

All other special moves don't have elements. Only Mario and Mallow use elemental attacks; the rest of the characters have non-elemental attacks.

Aside from special moves, there are a couple of items that deal elemental damage: the Fire Bomb and the Ice Bomb.

Effects of Elements

Does Double Damage to Enemies Weak to the Element

Some enemies are weak to certain elements; when you hit them with a special move with the element they're weak to, your attack will deal double damage.

Does Zero Damage to Enemies Immune to the Element

Some enemies have resistance to certain elements; when you hit them with an special move with the element they're immune to, your attack will deal zero damage.

For example, Spikeys, the enemy creatures with spiked shells, are immune to Mario's Jump element attacks (which make sense).

Bypass Jump Immunity with Jump Shoes

Mario can actually use Jump moves to damage enemies that are immune to his Jump moves! He needs to have Jump Shoes equipped to do so; its effect is specifically to bypass this immunity.

There are no other equipment like this for other elements; this is just unique to the Jump element.

Status Elements have Abnormal Effects

The game also have Status Element attacks, which work a different way to the other elements. Instead of direct damage, they inflict status conditions to the enemy.

Some Enemy Attacks have Elements, which Matters for Certain Armor

Enemy attacks do actually have elements as well, but the type of element doesn't matter, since your party members don't have specific weaknesses or immunities against certain elements.

However, there are some armor that specifically give immunities to all elemental attacks, such as the Super Suit. There are no armor that only give immunities to one element.
