Aflamethrower[1][2] (alternatively formatted asflame-thrower[3] orflame thrower[4]), also described with other generic terms such as "fire jet"[5][6] and "flame spout,"[7] is an indestructible mechanical hazard. Flamethrowers first appear inSuper Mario 64.
History[edit]
Super Mario 64 /Super Mario 64 DS[edit]
InSuper Mario 64 andSuper Mario 64 DS, the appearance of a flamethrower varies depending on thelevel:
- In all of theBowser levels andRainbow Ride, flamethrowers are stone and diamond-shaped.
- InBig Boo's Haunt'smerry-go-round, one of theBoo portraits acts as a flamethrower.
- In theHazy Maze Cave, there are two fire plumes that come out of thepit before theRed Coin area, which act like flamethrowers.
- In the main course ofLethal Lava Land, one flamethrower appears near thevolcano as a black brick. There are also fire plumes along the path of the movingplatform that takes the player to thePower Star for "Red-Hot Log Rolling." Inside the volcano, they appear as holes in the walls.
- Rainbow Ride also has a blue flamethrower under the spinning platform next to theRainbow Cruiser, and a fireplace that acts like a flamethrower in theBig House. The blue flamethrower does not return inSuper Mario 64 DS.
About every three seconds, a flamethrower shoots a stream of fire from its center. If the player character is hit by the flames, he loses three health wedges and runs around in a panic. This makes it more difficult for the player to control him. If the characterjumps repeatedly while he is on fire, his movement is limited, and he may lose only two health wedges.
Super Princess Peach[edit]
Flamethrowers appear inFury Volcano inSuper Princess Peach. Each periodically shoots out flames that blockPrincess Peach's path and damage her if touched. Flamethrowers also appear in the minigameToad Tote. The flamethrower's sprites resembleFire Bars as seen inSuper Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island.
