Breath Swing

The flaming ball technique used by Bowser in the manga

Breath Swing isBowser'sStar Swing inMario Super Sluggers. When used, Bowser will breathefire on the ball and hit it. Three fireballs will streak across the field, similar to the ones fired via error items, except more spread out. They will have the same effect: Burning any fielder who tries to get the ball. The fire will fade as the ball slows down.

In theSuper Mario Land 3 manga, published in 1990, in a chapter based offBaseball, Bowser executes an identical move when he goes as the hitter: he burns the ball with his breath and then hits it.
