AFireball (also written asFire Ball) orBall of Fire[1] is a common projectile in theSuper Mario franchise. Some enemies, likeFire Bros. andFire Piranha Plants, can throw or spit fireballs. Characters gain the ability to throw fireballs when inFire form. In some spin-off games,Mario andLuigi can throw fireballs without being in Fire form. Fireballs usually bounce along floors after being thrown, though fireballs that are spit out generally ignore gravity. Most games allow fireballs to be used underwater.Ice Balls can be seen as a parallel to fireballs.
History[edit]
This section is astub. Please considerexpanding it to include any missing information.Specifics:Paper Mario series
Mario Bros.[edit]
- Main article:Fireball (obstacle)
Fireballs first appear as obstacles inMario Bros., where they randomly appear on the stage, moving and bouncing off the edges of the screen.
Super Mario series[edit]
Super Mario Bros. /Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels /Super Mario Bros. Deluxe[edit]
Fireballs make their debut as projectiles inSuper Mario Bros., whereMario andLuigi can shoot these fireballs only if they acquire aFire Flower. They are affected by gravity and bounce only on the ground. If they hit a block sideways or from the underside, they will usually explode. Most enemies can be defeated by one fireball, andBowser can be defeated by five. Some enemies, such as Buzzy Beetles, are immune to fireballs. Hitting Bowser andhis fakes with five fireballs will defeat them and give 5,000points; the latter seven will also reveal the common enemy that was in disguise.
Super Mario Bros. 2 /Super Mario Advance[edit]
Fireballs only appear inSuper Mario Bros. 2 as enemy projectiles.Pansers shoot two fireballs at a time (gray/green ones shoot them straight up, while the others shoot them toward the player in an arc). Red and Green/GrayBirdos spit fireballs; the former also shoots eggs, but the latter does not, forcing the use ofMushroom Blocks to defeat them. Autobombs also shoot fireballs at players ifShyguys are on them.
Super Mario Bros. 3 /Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3[edit]
Fireballs return inSuper Mario Bros. 3, being usable projectiles again. Though Mario and Luigi are not the only ones that can shoot fireballs, asVenus Fire Traps,Fire Brothers, andFiery Walking Piranhas can also shoot fireballs from their mouths; these fireballs can be blocked if the Mario Bros.crouch whilewearing aHammer Suit.
Due to palette limitations in the NES version of the game, Mario and Luigi's fireballs appear green insideToad's Houses and cyan duringKoopaling fights.
InSuper Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3, theOrange Switch makes any enemies defeated by Fire Mario's fireballs become coins, as inSuper Mario World.
Super Mario World /Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2[edit]
Fireballs appear inSuper Mario World where they are used as a weapon. When enemies are hit by fireballs, they become coins. Additionally,Yoshi can breathe fireballs if he eats aRed Shell andRed Yoshi can also breathe fireballs if he eats aKoopa Shell. The fireballs that Yoshi spit out look likeLava Bubbles and destroy most enemies.Jumping Fire Piranha Plants spit fireballs at the peak of their jumps, andVolcano Lotuses release four at a time.
Super Mario 64 /Super Mario 64 DS[edit]
InSuper Mario 64,flame throwers andFly Guys spit fireballs at Mario when he is near them. The lava and volcano ofLethal Lava Land also spew fireballs at certain intervals.
Fireballs also appear inSuper Mario 64 DS as a stream ofFire Breath with Yoshi'sPower Flower ability. They are also found by swallowing flame throwers, Fly Guys and campfires.
New Super Mario Bros.[edit]
Fireballs return inNew Super Mario Bros., where they have the same function as in the previous game, when Fire Mario shoots fireballs. In the Mario vs. Luigi game mode, fireballs can stun a brother and knock a big star from him, but can defeat a brother inMini form.
Super Mario Galaxy[edit]
Fireballs reappear inSuper Mario Galaxy and itsNintendo Switchport as Fire Mario's projectiles; however, the form has a time limit, and though he can shoot more than two fireballs at a time, he cannot do so underwater.Kamella andMagikoopas also shoot fireballs from their wands (the former also spawnsGreen Shells), andKing Kaliente andRoctos spit them and coconuts (the latter of which can be hit back at them).
New Super Mario Bros. Wii[edit]
Fireballs appear inNew Super Mario Bros. Wii, appearing whenFire Mario shoots them.Fire Bros. also throw fireballs, andFire Piranha Plants spit them out, melting anyIce Block in their way.Yoshi can also spit a giant Fireball (like inSuper Mario World) by eating a fireball launched by a character with a Fire Flower power up, or from aFire Piranha Plant. This giant fireball transforms all enemies encountered intocoins.
Super Mario Galaxy 2[edit]
Fireballs return inSuper Mario Galaxy 2, acting as they did in its predecessor, though Magikoopas instead spawn Goombas.Prince Pikante also shoots fireballs and coconuts in his battle.
Super Mario 3D Land[edit]
Fire Mario reappears inSuper Mario 3D Land, acting as it does in the 2DSuper Mario games. The fireballs thrown bounce off walls and fizzle out after two seconds. Fire Piranha Plants also spit fireballs.
New Super Mario Bros. 2[edit]
Fireballs return inNew Super Mario Bros. 2 and behave as they always have. There is an extra gimmick whereFire Mario can shoot fireballs into certain pipes andcoins and other items (likeMega Mushrooms) can come out the other end.
New Super Mario Bros. U[edit]
Fireballs reappear inNew Super Mario Bros. U, acting as they did inNew Super Mario Bros. Wii.
Super Mario 3D World /Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury[edit]
Fireballs reappear inSuper Mario 3D World and itsNintendo Switch portSuper Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury, and behave like they did inSuper Mario 3D Land; they can also go throughClear Pipes and destroy any spiked balls within them. Fire Bros. also throw fireballs, which can go through Clear Pipes and be destroyed by players' fireballs.
In theBowser's Fury campaign ofSuper Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury, fireballs that make contact with the water surroundingLake Lapcat will be put out.
Super Mario Maker /Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS[edit]
Fireballs return inSuper Mario Maker andSuper Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS due to the return of theFire Flower item and enemies such asFire Piranha Plants.Yoshi can also swallow fireballs from enemies that shoot them, or get fireballs from fire obstacles such asFire Bars orBurners. Additionally, theFire Koopa Clown Car, an object released via a software update on December 22, 2015, has the ability to shoot fireballs from its mouth, and Fire Flowers give it a triple spread-shot. A charge can create larger fireballs, which can destroyblocks.
Super Mario Maker 2[edit]
Fireballs make a comeback inSuper Mario Maker 2, retaining their behavior in its predecessor. Fire Bros. also return, though only in theSuper Mario 3D World style; a newSledge Bro-like variation also debuts, theHeavy Fire Bro. Red Yoshis also return in theSuper Mario World andNew Super Mario Bros. U styles, and spit fireballs instead of licking, unlike inSuper Mario World; their fireballs work like those of the Fire Koopa Clown Car; these cannot be charged up, however.
DIC cartoons[edit]
The Super Mario Bros. Super Show![edit]
Fireballs appear inThe Super Mario Bros. Super Show! They are used by Fire Mario (known as Super Mario in the show). The episode, "The Fire of Hercufleas" introduces theGreat Balls of Fire, very powerful fireballs that can damage a wall.
The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3[edit]
Fireballs also appear inThe Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3. Once again, they are used by Fire Mario. The episode "Princess Toadstool for President" includes the song "Great Balls of Fire," which is a real song. Fireballs are also produced byFire Chomps andFire Snakes.
Super Mario World television series[edit]
Fireballs reappear in theSuper Mario World television series. They are used by Fire Mario andBowser Statues.
Mario Kart series[edit]
Super Mario Kart[edit]
Fireballs make their debut in theMario Kart series inSuper Mario Kart, whereBowser would drop these items and touching them would make the driver spin out. Unlike other laid down items such asBanana Peels, however, they move around a bit on the course.
Mario Kart: Double Dash!![edit]
Fireballs reappeared inMario Kart: Double Dash!!, where they are theSpecial Items of Mario (andPetey Piranha andKing Boo, due to their ability to have any special item). Luigi's is aGreen Fireball, but it acts the same. When the special item is used, five fireballs will be launched into the racetrack, hitting other drivers and causing theirkarts to spin-out. These fireballs are capable of ricocheting off walls. However, after a short amount of time, the launched fireballs will fizzle out.
Mario Kart Arcade GP series[edit]
The Fireball appears as an item inMario Kart Arcade GP,Mario Kart Arcade GP 2, andMario Kart Arcade GP DX, in which it is one of Mario and Luigi's special items. The Fireball is one of the few items that can be thrown both forwards and backwards depending on the player's input. When thrown, the Fireball bounces across the track and ricochets off walls, exactly as it does inMario Kart: Double Dash!!. However, only one Fireball is launched instead of five.
InMario Kart Arcade GP DX,Fire Mario's special item is the Double Fireball, which allows him to throw two Fireballs rather than one.
Mario Kart DS[edit]
Fireballs appear inMario Kart DS on the trackDS Mario Circuit, where twoFire Piranha Plants can be seen spitting them out onto the road acting as an obstacle for the racers to dodge.
Mario Kart Wii[edit]
Fireballs also appeared inMario Kart Wii, where they could only be seen in the 2nd Competition of March 2009. Here,Dry Bowser would spit out fireballs to attack the player. He would either fire three fireballs backwards or one fireball forward, depending on the player's racing position.
Mario Kart 7[edit]
Fireballs appear inMario Kart 7 where they are used as a special weapon. They can only be used if theFire Flower item, which allows the racers to shoot fireballs forwards and backwards, is acquired. A racer hit with a fireball loses a singlecoin. The item lasts until ten fireballs are thrown or for ten seconds.
Mario Kart 8 /Mario Kart 8 Deluxe[edit]
Fireballs appear inMario Kart 8 andMario Kart 8 Deluxe, where they have the same use and effect as inMario Kart 7.
Mario Kart Tour[edit]
Fireballs appear inMario Kart Tour, where they have the same use as inMario Kart: Double Dash!!. Unlike inMario Kart: Double Dash!!, however, three fireballs (four when Fire Flower+ is active) are launched instead of five and fireballs orbit the player's kart prior to being launched. Fire Piranha Plants also shoot fireballs at drivers. A fireball also appears in one ofFire Bro'sJump Boost animations, albeit only with an aesthetic purpose.
Fireballs can be destroyed by hitting them with an item or by driving into them while powered-up, granting bonus points in the process. The action of destroying a fireball thrown by another driver is displayed on-screen as "Item destroyed!", while the same action done to fireballs thrown by Fire Piranha Plants is displayed as "Ball of Fire".
Club Nintendo comics[edit]
In theClub Nintendo comic "Super Mario: Verloren in der Zeit", Fire Mario uses a Fireball to defeat aTyrannosaurus rex.

Fireballs appear inSuper Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars as a fire-based special attack thatMario learns when he reaches Level three, under the name ofFire Orb in the original. The move is calledFireball in the remake. The attack allows Mario to shoot small fireballs at one enemy. To do more damage than usual, the player should push
repeatedly while Mario is unleashing fireballs. Fireball uses fiveFP and has a Magic Power of twenty points. This attack is useful in the first fight againstCroco inBandit's Way. When used against an enemy made of fire, the Fireball attack does no damage.
Mario can learn two more powerful versions of Fireball during the course of the game:Super Fireball andUltra Fireball.
Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble![edit]
Fireballs appear only as hazardous obstacles shot byKarbines andKroc inDonkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! The fireballs shot by Kroc are similar to those shot byKarbines, except Kroc shoots from the foreground, whilst Karbines do so in the background.
Super Smash Bros. series[edit]
- SmashWiki article:Fireball
Fireballs appear as the standard special move used by both Mario and Luigi throughout theSuper Smash Bros. series. The fireballs here only deal a small amount of damage, unlike with games of theSuper Mario franchise.Super Smash Bros. Brawl also makes the fireballs travel for a shorter distance before they vanish. Mario's Fireballs are red and affected by gravity (meaning they bounce against the ground), while Luigi's Fireballs aregreen and shoot straight no matter what, unless it ricochets off of something in front of Luigi.Kirby can also use the Fireball move once he has swallowed Mario or Luigi, and the color and performance of the Fireball are according to which Mario Brother he has sucked up. InSuper Smash Bros. Brawl,Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, andSuper Smash Bros. for Wii U, Yoshi can spit single fireballs in hisFinal Smashform.
InSuper Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS andSuper Smash Bros. for Wii U, the first custom variant of Mario's Fireball isFast Fireball, in which the fireball travels directly forward at high speed but does not cause knockback and deals less damage. The second isFire Orb, which fires a larger but slower fireball that moves similarly to the standard Fireball but can hit multiple times. The custom variants for Luigi's Fireball areBouncing Fireball, which behaves like Mario's standard Fireball, andIce Ball, which moves more slowly but can freeze opponents.
InSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate, both Mario Brothers' Fireballs remain unaltered, aside from visual improvements, including brighter, flashier particle effects, as well as the appearance of smoke. However, Mario's Fireballs can now hit multiple times when used near opponents, just like the Fire Orb custom variant from the previous game.
Mario & Luigi series[edit]
Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga /Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions[edit]
InMario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, Mario and Luigi learn aBros. Attack namedFire Bros., which involves Mario throwing fireballs in high arcs so Luigi can use his hammer to bat them back at the enemies in low arcs. This game also introduces the concept of combining multiple fireballs into a single larger fireball, as theAdvanced Command for Fire Bros. has Mario jump to push each fireball that Luigi hammers forward into a mass above Mario's head. To finish, Mario jumps off Luigi to spike that fireball into an enemy
Mario is also given his fire technique known asFirebrand, which acts like fireballs, lighting all theTorches so that some location can be accessible for the Bros.
In the tutorial battle withBowser, Bowser only attacks Mario using hisFire Breath. AsRookie, he also spits fireballs alongside throwinghammers, similar to how he attacked in the originalSuper Mario Bros.Bowletta, a fusion betweenCackletta and Bowser, also breathes fireballs known asFlarets, which she can reabsorb to heal. Additionally, fireballs also appear during the final battle with Cackletta.
The remake ofMario & Luigi: Superstar Saga,Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions, changes Fire Bros. animations. Instead of throwing individual fireballs, Mario throws one into the arc then sends the remainder into the first fireball. They combine to create a large fireball, that gradually descends to Luigi, who uses his hammer to split it into multiple fireballs that land on one enemy. It is similar toLuiginary Flame, an attack fromMario & Luigi: Dream Team. The Advanced Command is replaced by a discreteSuper Attack named Super Fire Bros. It follows from the Fire Bros. changes, but it swaps the hammer attack from normal Fire Bros. with Luigi jumping to pop the giant fireball into the air. Mario jumps off Luigi to spike the fireball down into the enemies, as before. It explodes on impact, with the shockwave damaging all grounded enemies.
Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time[edit]
InMario & Luigi: Partners in Time, theBros. Flower is a theBros. Item. that allows Mario and Luigi, orBaby Mario andBaby Luigi, to throw fireballs at the enemies. They bounce along the ground, as they do in theSuper Mario series. If the babies are paired with the adults, then the babies can lob their fireballs to hit flying enemies. While both brothers (or pairs of brothers) have fireballs in hand, a large fireball is passed between the brothers during the attack. The brother(s) with the large fireball should be the one(s) throwing fireballs. If the other brother(s) throw fireballs, their fireballs will disappear when they collide with the ground, and never reach the enemies. TheMix Flower is a different Bros. Item where all four characters split up, then throw fireballs above the enemies. They congeal into a giant fireball, which drops down at the end to inflict damage. However, one large fireball is moving between the characters, and only the character with that fireball can throw fireballs. Everyone else hasIce Balls, and throwing them decreases the size of the large fireball.
Blazing Shroobs, found inThwomp Caverns, theShrooboid Brat andElder Shrooboid can also attack using fireballs. If the wrong brother hits theAdult Shine Block, a fireball will appear and force the babies to restart from the beginning of the room.
Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story /Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey[edit]
InMario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story and its remake,Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey, Mario and Luigi can obtain the Fire FlowerSpecial Attack. It turns them into Fire Mario and Fire Luigi, and allows them to throw fireballs at enemies. The mechanics and animation are broadly similar to Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, however, a large fireball does not move between Mario and Luigi. Rather, one brother's fireball is larger and the other is smaller, and this changes during the attack. The attack also has a second phase where Mario and Luigi both have large fireballs so they can both throw at the same time. The remake renames Special Attacks to Bros. Attacks, but has no outstanding changes.
Mario & Luigi: Dream Team[edit]
InMario & Luigi: Dream Team, the Fire Flower returns as a Bros. Attack, though the mechanics have been changed. In this game, both brothers are holding fireballs that gradually increase in size. The size resets after being thrown, and the rate at which the fireballs grow varies. Throwing them while they are large is optimal, but waiting too long will burn that brother and cost them the fireball. A second phase that only triggers on a perfectly executed attack gives both brothers an infinite supply of large fireballs to throw.Luiginary Flame is aLuiginary Attack, where theLuiginoids work with Mario to pass a fireball forward to other groups of Luiginoids. Each group adds their fireballs to that fireball, so the fireball grows to large proportions. Missing inputs burns the receiving character, makes them drop their fireballs if they have any, and shrinks the main fireball. Only the Luiginoids gain Fire form in this attack. Mario concludes the attack by swinging his Hammer at the fireball to scatter the fire over all enemies. If not hit, the fireball bounces off Mario's head then bounces off one enemy for minimal damage.
Fire Bros.,Piranha Plants, and a new enemy calledMagmad also attack by using fireballs; the former throw the fireballs into their target, while the latter two spit the fireballs out.
Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam[edit]
InMario & Luigi: Paper Jam, the Fire Flower once again returns as a Bros. Attack. It is mechanically similar to the attack fromMario & Luigi: Dream Team, though the animation for attacking flying enemies has the fireballs be thrown in arcs instead of across the ground. As with allfire based attacks, fireballs deal critical damage to Paper enemies.
Fire Bros. return with fireballs as their main weapon, and the paper variant can also fold itself into a baseball bat to send a fireball into a Bro.Fire Piranha Plants also appear in both 3-dimensional forms and paper forms, using fireballs as their main weapon.Bowser and his paper counterpart can shoot fireballs as well as one of their attacks in the first phase of the final battle; these ones explode upon hitting the ground, and their shockwaves must be jumped over. The Bowsers' fusion,Shiny RoboBowser, can shoot giant fireballs in some of his attacks.
Mario & Luigi: Brothership[edit]
InMario & Luigi: Brothership, with theFire & IceBros. Move, Mario can throw fireballs with hisFire suit with
(whileLuigi usesIce Balls from hisIce transformation with
). The first phase of the newBros. AttackMax-Mix Vortex involves Mario placing fireballs in a ring while Luigi fills the slots not covered by Mario with Ice Balls. Additionally, during the first phase ofReclusa's battle, Mario can use his fireballs to block ice shots and cancel Reclusa's ice attacks when the Bros. catch up to the fiend. This is also done in theLuigi Logic section of the second phase of the fight, where Mario can shoot down Weeping Reclusa's ice shots with his fireballs as the Bros. head into the beast's maw.
Some enemies also use fireballs. TheFire Bro appears in this game, throwing fireballs as an attack, and a new enemy called Reclusiff can drop fireballs onto the Bros. from above before slamming into one of them; these must be blocked with a hammer. The returningMario & Luigi: Dream Team enemyMagmad can bounce a fireball between itself and another Magmad (if there is more than one) as the two Magmads head towards their target, who must use a hammer strike to repel the fireball. ThePipegunk is also able to shoot fireballs from the pipes on top of its body whenShun moves the arena it is fought in into a magma chamber with his remote. Mario and Luigi must counter this move with their hammers.
Mario Baseball series[edit]
Mario Superstar Baseball[edit]
The Fireball is Mario'sStar Skill inMario Superstar Baseball. When pitched with, the Fireball sets the ball on fire and is thrown as a fastball with extremely high velocity and very little movement. Compared to Luigi's equivalentGreen Fireball, it has slightly higher velocity and lower movement, matching Mario's specialties as a pitcher. When batted with, the Fireball also sets the ball on fire, hitting it as a fast, low line drive to the outfield. Players who attempt to catch the ball are burned, stunning them for a short time.
In Challenge Mode, players must purchase the Red Fireball item in order to use this skill.
Mario's Fireball icon is the same as Luigi's colored red, even keeping the L in the cap.
Mario Super Sluggers[edit]
Fireballs reappeared inMario Super Sluggers. Like inMario Superstar Baseball, it is used as Mario's Star Pitch, though Luigi is given a different Star Pitch. Just like in the predecessor, Mario will throw the baseball at a fast speed, which makes it harder for batters to properly hit it. However, unlike some other Star Pitches, the ball will still be able to travel a far distance if the player hits it with good timing. This makes it possible to get home runs with this Star Pitch since it does not affect how far the ball can go when hit.
Wario Land: Shake It![edit]
Fireballs only appear as uncommon enemy attacks.Volcannons shoot them from their erupting tops, and theShake King can drop waves of fireballs during his battle.
Dr. Mario World[edit]
InDr. Mario World, Dr. Fire Mario, Dr. Fire Luigi, Dr. Fire Peach, and Dr. Fire Rosalina all use fireballs as part of their skills. The animation in Stage Mode for Dr. Fire Mario has three fireballs race across the screen, while the animation in Stage Mode for Dr. Fire Rosalina shows three fireballs bounce across the screen. Then, the fireballs are used on the stage. For Dr. Fire Mario, Dr. Fire Luigi, and Dr. Fire Peach, each affected row and/or column has a fireball run through it, burning viruses and eliminating any object. For Fire Rosalina, the fireball drops onto the stage and bursts over a square area to the same effect. In either case, all objects that can be eliminated are eliminated, even if those objects normally have to be matched more than once to be eliminated.
