TheFire Koopa Clown Car (known as theFire Junior Clown Car in theNew Super Mario Bros. U style) is an object inSuper Mario Maker (in version 1.3.0 or later),Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS, andSuper Mario Maker 2. It is a variant of the regularKoopa Clown Car/Junior Clown Car. Its exterior shell is golden-yellow, its propeller and rim are red, it has a flame design on its cheeks, and its mouth takes a circular form. It acts similarly to the normal Koopa Clown Car, but the player is able to shootfireballs when riding in it, in a similar manner toFire Mario. The car shoots fireballs horizontally from its mouth. Unlike Fire Mario's fireballs, these do not fall or bounce, but will continue moving horizontally until they collide with a block or enemy or remain off-screen for too long. If the player holds the button, then the Fire Koopa Clown Car charges up; this allows it to shoot a larger fireball that can destroyblocks. If Fire Mario rides the Fire Koopa Clown Car, then it will shoot three fireballs at once, rather than just one; one of the fireballs still moves forward horizontally, while the other two move forward diagonally, with one moving diagonally upwards and the other moving diagonally downwards, in a similar manner toYoshi's fireballs after eating aRed Shell inSuper Mario World. In the originalSuper Mario Maker, if Mario isBig Mario, then the Fire Koopa Clown Car will have aPeach design on it, always shoot fireballs capable of destroying blocks, and, if charged, shoot a flame that will destroy all of the blocks and enemies in its path without stopping (this also works if Mario is riding a bigGoomba's Shoe or Stiletto). Enemies and items can ride Fire Koopa Clown Cars, which causes them to randomly shoot fireballs while moving on their own as an enemy like regular Koopa Clown Cars can (this ceases if the enemy or item exits the Clown Car, such as by being defeated or collected, respectively). If a giant-sized enemy is riding it, it will shoot larger fireballs capable of destroying blocks.
InSuper Mario Maker 2, they make a sinister expression ifLink drops abomb from one, like the Koopa Clown Car.
InSuper Mario Maker andSuper Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS, when shaking a regular Koopa Clown Car or Junior Clown Car to transform it into a Fire Koopa Clown Car or Fire Junior Clown Car, acuíca can be heard in the background.

Notes[edit]
- The charge-up mechanic of the Fire Koopa Clown Car is reminiscent of the "Wave Cannon" weapon in theR-Type video game series, in which it can be held down to charge up and fire a more powerful projectile.
