==Stats==
Each brother has his own HP, POW, DEF, SPEED, and STACHE points. When the brothers finish a battle, they each gain EXP points. With enough EXP Points, a brother can level-up and increase each respective statistic.
*HP (abbreviation of Heart Points) is the amount of life a brother has. When an enemy hits one of the brothers, he loses HP. When his HP reaches zero, he passes out, but can be revived with a 1-Up Mushroom or 1-Up Super.
*POW (abbreviation of Power) is how strong a brother is. The higher his POW stats are, the more damage he gives. On it's own, Wario is the strongest character.
*DEF (abbreviation of Defense) is how much damage a brother can lessen from an enemy hit. The higher his DEF stats are, the less damage he receives. Baby Waluigi is the highest defender on it's own.
*SPEED is how fast a brother is. The more SPEED he has, the sooner he can attack an enemy in a given turn. Waluigi is the fastest character on it's own.
*STACHE is the most unique of the stats. The higher a brother's STACHE stats are, the greater there is a chance of a Lucky Hit, which doubles POW. Plus, it gives the brother discounts when buying and selling at shops.
===Moves===
During a battle, the four brothers have five choices when attacking, unless Wario and Waluigi are not paired with the babies; instead, they would have four choices. They can use a jump move, a Hammer move, a Bros. Item, use an item, or run from battle.
===Special Moves===
Special Moves are new to the series. They send a powerful attack on the opponent, Which sends 100HP down the drain.
====Wario's Special Move====
The Special Move 	What It Does
Wario's Cool Waft	Wario can only use this move when in an versus battle he has one EXP. Wario leaves big fart explosions.
====Waluigi's Special Move====
The Special Move	What It Does
Bob-Omb Plant 	Waluigi can only use this move when in an versus battle he has one EXP. He puts a big Bob-Omb in a gigantic Piranha Plant, And The Piranha Plant spits out the big Bob-Ombs
====Baby Waluigi's Special Move====
The Special Move 	What It Does
Baby Waluigi Time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!	Baby Waluigi can only use this move when in an versus battle he has one EXP. Baby Waluigi get's out a gigantic pinball, And knocks opponents.
====Baby Wario's Special Move====
The Special Move 	What It Does
The Gigantic Magnet	Baby Wario can only use this move when in an versus battle he has one EXP. He puts a big magnet in place, And attracts the opponents, Which messes up their attacks.
====Jump Move====
During a jump move, a brother jumps on an enemy. When Wario jumps on an enemy, he uses , for Waluigi, on Baby Wario, and for Baby Waluigi's jump. Hitting their button when they are about to land on the enemy does extra damage. The babies can participate in battle, assisting their older counterparts. If so, when the two older bros. attack and land on an enemy, the player should press the babies button, and then the adult brother's button. This deals more damage to the enemy.
====Hammer Move====
After Baby Wario and Waluigi enter the Vim Factory, they get hammers to use in battle. However, the adult Wario and Waluigi cannot use this move without the babies with them, as they do not have hammers. When one of the babies attack with a hammer, the player must hit their button (either or ) when the tool shakes to deal more damage. If the player waits too long or hits the button too early, the hammer head falls off the hammer and the baby brother does much less damage. When the corresponding button is hit before they directly face the enemy, they trip and fall flat on the enemy, also yielding less damage. When the adult bros. are with the babies, they can perform a stronger attack with them. When doing this, the player must hit the adult button ( or ) to have Wario or Waluigi lift up the baby. Then, they must hit the baby button ( or ) when their hammer shakes. This deals more damage than a normal hammer attack. The hammer move does less damage than a jump move, and it is best used when fighting a spiked enemy. Flying enemies avoid the hammer altogether.
====Bros. Items====
Bros. Items are special attacks that the brothers can use to deal more damage. Some Bros. Items require at least two brothers standing while some require all bros. Some items that require two bros. have special commands that can be used to deal more damage than normal with all four bros. Note that some items are unlocked later in the game than others.
Bros. Item 	Description 	Bros. Needed
Green Shell 	One of the brothers kicks this item towards an enemy. It rebounds off the enemy, while the enemy takes damage, and back towards the other brother. The other brother must kick the shell back to the enemy to repeat the process, while the Green Shell increases its speed more times it is kicked. The Green Shell disappears when the enemy is defeated, sixteen successful hits are dealt, or if a brother misses it. If the brother using the item has his baby self piggyback, his baby self rides on the shell: if players press the baby brother's corresponding button, the baby brother spins the shell, dealing more damage to the enemy.	2
Bros. Flower 	Both brothers toss fireballs at multiple enemies. The player should press the button of the brother when the big fireball is on the brother's hand. If the brother's baby self is piggyback, pressing the corresponding baby button enables the brother to lob their fire balls, hitting aerial foes. This item can cause a burn status to enemies. 	2
File:Canonball.PNGCannonballer 	All four brothers jump inside a canon, which launches them into the top screen. A random order of the four brothers can be seen as they land, and players should press the corresponding button in order to deal more damage to an enemy. 	4
Smash Egg 	A brother kicks the egg to an enemy. As it flies in the air, the player must hold the corresponding button to let a brother build up energy to kick the egg at the enemy. When released with correct timing, the brother kicks the egg at the enemy. The process repeats back and forth until either the egg cracks or when the enemy is defeated. When the egg cracks, a possible free item can result out of it. When a baby brother is piggyback, he can jump and hit the egg to make it fall faster to deal more damage to the enemy. 	2
Pocket Chomp 	A Chain Chomp is released, which chases a brother and goes offscreen. Then, as the brother approaches the enemy, the player should press the corresponding button when the brother lands on the enemy to deal more damage and run away from the Chain Chomp. The attack ends when the enemy is defeated or when the Chain Chomp catches the running brother. If three or more brothers are present during the battle, a baby brother occasionally rides on the chariot. Pressing the corresponding baby button causes the baby brother to spin his Hammer, causing more damage to the enemy if timed correctly. 	4
Red Shell 	Identical to the Green Shell, except the shell is capable of hitting more than one enemy and lasts until a brother misses the shell or if all enemies are defeated. 	2
File:IceFlower.PNGIce Flower 	Identical to the Bros. Flower, except the brothers toss iceballs instead of fireballs. The only difference is that this item can randomly lower the enemies' Attack, Defense, and/or Speed. 	2
File:PiT Trampoline sprite.PNGTrampoline	All four brothers jump on the trampoline, which launches them off screen. One brother comes down in a random order, and the player should press the corresponding to deal damage to enemies and keep the attack going. Another brother eventually comes down to a random enemy, and the process repeats, with each jump exponentially speeding up the process. The attack ends when the player fails to press the button at the right time or when the enemy is defeated. 	4
Copy Flower 	Many copies of the brothers are spawned, and they walk offscreen. In a completely random order, the brothers walk up to the enemy and jump on them. Players must execute a well-timed jump with the corresponding button to continue the attack and deal more damage to the enemy, with each jump exponentially speeding up the process. The process ends when a jump is failed or when the enemy is defeated. 	4
Mix Flower 	Similar to the Bros. Flower, the player should press the button of the corresponding brother to build a giant fireball and keep it up in order to deal more damage. The bigger the fireball, the more damage it causes. After some period of time, when the player cannot keep up with the speeding up process, the fireball falls and deals damage to all opponents. 	4
====Flee====
Wario, Waluigi, and the babies can both flee from battle when they choose the flee icon. When getting away, the player must hit either the or button to make Wario or Waluigi flee. If the babies are in battle, the player must hit the or button. However, if they do not do this quickly, one of the bros. falls and drop a large amount of coins unless a wallet badge is equipped. When both bros. have left the screen, they end up back in the overworld and continue their adventure. The player can cancel this attempt by pressing the button, though it uses up a turn.
===Avoiding Attacks===
Wario, Waluigi, or Baby Waluigi and Baby Wario can either use their Hammer or Jump moves to avoid attacks. With their Jump move, the brothers can jump over the attacking enemy. When using the Hammer to avoid attacks, the player must hold Baby Waluigi or Baby Wario's respective button (Baby Wario is , Baby Waluigi is ) and release just as the enemy or its weapon hits.
The four bros. can also use these moves to counterattack. When they jump over an enemy, they may land on them, causing damage. Baby Waluigi or Baby Wario can also hit enemies with their hammer during an enemy's turn. Either way, the enemy takes damage on its turn.
==Out-Of-Battle Techniques==
The four heroes can use some techniques out of battle. All of the following techniques must be learned by progressing in the game, except for jumping.
===Wario And Waluigi Techniques===
When Wario and Waluigi are without the babies outside of battle, they can do the following techniques:
*Wario and Waluigi can both jump.
*Wario and Waluigi can perform a Spin Jump. They can use this technique in a whirlwind to go farther.
*Wario and Waluigi can form a Bros. Ball.
===Baby Techniques===
When Baby Wario and Baby Waluigi are alone outside of battle, they can do the following:
*The babies can both jump.
*Baby Waluigi can use his Hammer.
*The babies can perform a Baby Drill.
*Baby Wario can use Baby Pump when near a fountain. Then, Baby Waluigi can hit him with his hammer to spit out the water quickly.
===All-Character Techniques===
There are also techniques where all the heroes are needed. They can do the following:
*Wario and Waluigi can flatten the babies into Baby Cakes by rolling over them while in Bros. Ball mode.
*The babies can be picked up by the older bros.
*The four heroes can perform a Piggyback Jump.
*Wario and Waluigi can perform a Baby Toss, and throw the babies to higher areas.
*Wario and Waluigi can make the babies perform a Spin Jump by spin jumping into them. The babies then slowly float down and can use a whirlwind to go farther.
==Stores==
Seven stores are found in Wario & Waluigi: Partners in Crime. One, the Shroom Shop, is found in the main hub in Waluigi Pinball. The rest are found in levels throughout the game. Fawful's Bean 'n' Badge sells Badges exclusively at a price of Garlics rather than coins.
==Clothing==
Clothing boosts the brothers' stats. There are two categories of clothing: one made specifically for the adult brothers and one made specifically for the baby brothers. Unlike Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, clothing is not restricted to a specific brother. Clothing is either dropped by enemies, found in blocks, or purchased in shops.
==Badges==
Badges cause miscellaneous effects when worn and can be universally worn by all brothers. Such effects include unlimited use of Bros. Items or restoring HP every turn. They do not increase a brothers' base stats. Badges can be purchased in shops, exclusively purchased in Fawful's Bean 'n' Badge, dropped by enemies, or won by completing minigames.
==Trivia==
The games title is to similar to that of Mario & Luigi: Partners In Time.
==Beta Elements==
Oddly enough, Donkey Kong, And Ness from The EarthBound series of games were all considered being playable characters at some point during development. They were removed in the final game because they didn't make sense to be in the game.
