The UFO Spin is a Bros. Move in Mario & Luigi: Brothership. The move is learned by Mario and Luigi on Florall Island, after they find some Toads.

This move is selected by moving Right Stick to the right. This will cause Mario and Luigi to hold hands and stand side-by-side. Pressing X Button will cause them to spin and hover in midair in a UFO shape. Similar to the Spin Jump in previous games, this enables them to move across wide gaps. Pressing Y Button while hovering will stop the action early.

Later on in the game, Mario and Luigi learn the UFO Vacuum on Skorcheen Island, which is executed by holding X Button while using the UFO Spin in order to suck up objects such as platforms or enemies.
