A '''Fireball''' (also written as '''Fire Ball''') or '''Ball of Fire'''<ref>''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' in-game name of the [[Fire Piranha Plant]] projectiles</ref> is a common projectile in the ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' franchise. Typically, a character can shoot fireballs only if they acquire a [[Fire Flower]]. Some enemies can shoot fireballs without the use of a power-up. In some spin-off games, [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] can shoot fireballs from their hands without using a Fire Flower. In most games, fireballs are capable of being thrown even underwater. [[Ice Ball]]s can be seen as a parallel to fireballs.
==History==
===''Mario Bros.''===
{{main|Fireball (obstacle)}}
Fireballs first appear as obstacles in ''[[Mario Bros. (game)|Mario Bros.]]'', where they randomly appear on the stage, moving and bouncing off the edges of the screen.

===''Super Mario'' series===
====''Super Mario Bros.'' / ''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels'' / ''Super Mario Bros. Deluxe''====
[[File:Firemarioshoot.gif|thumb|[[Fire Mario]] shooting a fireball in the remake, ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'']]
Fireballs make their debut as projectiles in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', where [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] can shoot these fireballs only if they acquire a [[Fire 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, and [[Bowser]] can be defeated by five. Hitting Bowser and [[Fake Bowser|his fakes]] with five fireballs will defeat them and give 5,000 [[point]]s; the latter seven will also reveal the common enemy that was in disguise.

====''Super Mario Bros. 2'' / ''Super Mario Advance''====
Fireballs only appear in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' as enemy projectiles. [[Panser]]s 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/Gray [[Birdo]]s spit fireballs; the former also shoots eggs, but the latter does not, forcing the use of [[Mushroom Block]]s to defeat them. Autobombs also shoot fireballs at players if [[Shy Guy|Shyguy]]s are on them.

====''Super Mario Bros. 3'' / ''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3''====
[[File:SMW Art - Fire Mario.png|thumb|left|Artwork of Fire Mario shooting fireball from ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'']]
Fireballs return in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', being usable projectiles again. Though Mario and Luigi are not the only ones that can shoot fireballs, as [[Fire Piranha Plant|Venus Fire Traps]], [[Fire Bro]]thers, and [[Fire Nipper Plant|Fiery Walking Piranha]]s can also shoot fireballs from their mouths; these fireballs can be blocked if the Mario Bros. [[crouch]] while [[Hammer Mario|wearing]] a [[Hammer Suit]].

Due to palette limitations in the NES version of the game, Mario and Luigi's fireballs appear green inside [[Toad House]]s and cyan during [[Koopalings|Koopaling]] fights.

In ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', the [[Orange Switch]] makes any enemies defeated by Fire Mario's fireballs become coins, as in ''Super Mario World''.
{{br}}

====''Super Mario World'' / ''Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2''====
[[File:SMW Art - Yoshi Breathing Fire.png|thumb|Artwork of [[Yoshi]] spitting Fireballs from ''[[Super Mario World]]'']]
Fireballs appear in ''[[Super 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 a [[Red Shell]] and [[Yoshi (species)|Red Yoshi]] can also breathe fireballs if he eats a [[Koopa Shell]]. The fireballs that Yoshi spit out look like [[Lava Bubble]]s and destroy most enemies. [[Jumping Fire Piranha Plant]]s spit fireballs at the peak of their jumps, and [[Volcano Lotus]]es release four at a time.

====''Super Mario 64'' / ''Super Mario 64 DS''====
In ''Super Mario 64'', [[flame thrower (Flame Chomp)|flame thrower]]s and [[Fly Guy]]s spit fireballs at Mario when he is near them. The lava and volcano of [[Lethal Lava Land]] also spew fireballs at certain intervals.

Fireballs also appear in ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'' as a stream of [[Fire Breath]] with Yoshi's [[Power Flower (Super Mario 64 DS)|Power Flower]] ability. They are also found by swallowing flame throwers, Fly Guys and campfires.

====''New Super Mario Bros.''====
Fireballs return in ''[[New 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 in [[Mini Mario (form)|Mini form]].

====''Super Mario Galaxy''====
Fireballs reappear in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' 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]] and [[Magikoopa]]s also shoot fireballs from their wands (the former also spawns [[Green Shell]]s), and [[King Kaliente]] and [[Rocto]]s spit them and coconuts (the latter of which can be hit back at them).

====''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''====
Fireballs appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', appearing when [[Fire Mario]] shoots them. [[Fire Bro]]s. also throw fireballs, and [[Fire Piranha Plant]]s spit them out, melting any [[Ice Block]] in their way. [[Yoshi]] can also spit a giant Fireball (like in ''Super Mario World'') by eating a fireball launched by a character with a Fire Flower power up, or from a [[Fire Piranha Plant]]. This giant fireball transforms all enemies encountered into [[coin]]s.

====''Super Mario Galaxy 2''====
Fireballs return in ''[[Super 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''====
Fire Mario reappears in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', acting as it does in the 2D ''Super 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''====
[[File:FirePipeNSMB2.png|thumb|left|Fire Mario shooting fireballs into a pipe to get coins]]
Fireballs return in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' and behave as they always have. There is an extra gimmick where [[Fire Mario]] can shoot fireballs into certain pipes and [[coin]]s and other items (like [[Mega Mushroom]]s) can come out the other end.

====''New Super Mario Bros. U''====
[[File:NSMBU Piranha Plants on Ice Screenshot.png|thumb|upright=1.1|[[Fire Piranha Plant]]s spitting out fireballs in ''New Super Mario Bros. U'']]
Fireballs reappear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', acting as they did in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''.

====''Super Mario 3D World'' / ''Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury''====
[[File:Fire Princess Peach Artwork - Super Mario 3D World.png|thumb|left|Fire Peach throwing a fireball]]
Fireballs reappear in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and its [[Nintendo Switch]] port ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]'', and behave like they did in ''Super Mario 3D Land''; they can also go through [[Clear Pipe]]s 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 the ''Bowser's Fury'' campaign of ''Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury'', fireballs that make contact with the water surrounding [[Lake Lapcat]] will be put out.
{{br}}

====''Super Mario Maker'' / ''Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS''====
Fireballs return in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS]]'' due to the return of the [[Fire Flower]] item and enemies such as [[Fire Piranha Plant]]s. [[Yoshi]] can also swallow fireballs from enemies that shoot them, or get fireballs from fire obstacles such as [[Fire Bar]]s or [[Burner]]s. Additionally, the [[Fire 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 destroy [[block]]s.

====''Super Mario Maker 2''====
Fireballs make a comeback in ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'', retaining their behavior in its predecessor. Fire Bros. also return, though only in the ''Super Mario 3D World'' style; a new [[Sledge Bro]]-like variation also debuts, the [[Heavy Fire Bro]]. Red Yoshis also return in the ''Super Mario World'' and ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' styles, and spit fireballs instead of licking, unlike in ''Super Mario World''; their fireballs work like those of the Fire Koopa Clown Car; these cannot be charged up, however.

===DIC cartoons===
====''The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!''====
[[File:Fireballsmbss.jpg|thumb|A fireball from ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'' episode "[[The Bird! The Bird!]]".]]
Fireballs appear in ''[[The 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 the [[Great Balls of Fire]], very powerful fireballs that can damage a wall.

====''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3''====
Fireballs also appear in ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. Once again, they are used by Fire Mario. The episode, "[[Princess Toadstool for President]]" includes the song, "[[List of The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 songs#Great Balls of Fire|Great Balls of Fire]]," which is a real song. Fireballs are also produced by [[Flame Chomp|Fire Chomp]]s and [[Fire Snake]]s.

====''Super Mario World'' television series====
Fireballs reappear in the [[Super Mario World (television series)|''Super Mario World'' television series]]. They are used by Fire Mario and [[Bowser Statue]]s.

===''Mario Kart'' series===
====''Super Mario Kart''====
Fireballs make their debut in the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' series]] in ''[[Super Mario Kart]]'', where [[Bowser]] would drop these items and touching them would make the driver spin out. Unlike other laid down items such as [[Banana|Banana Peels]], however, they move around a bit on the course.

====''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!''====
[[File:MKDD Fireball M.png|thumb|Artwork of a Fireball from ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]''.]]
Fireballs reappeared in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'', where they are the [[Special Item (Mario Kart series)|Special Items]] of Mario (and [[Petey Piranha]] and [[King Boo]], due to their ability to have any special item). Luigi's is a [[Green 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 their [[kart]]s 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''====
The Fireball appears as an item in ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP]]'', ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP 2]]'', and ''[[Mario 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 in ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!''. However, only one Fireball is launched instead of five.

In ''Mario 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''====
Fireballs appear in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' on the track [[DS Mario Circuit]], where two [[Fire Piranha Plant]]s can be seen spitting them out onto the road acting as an obstacle for the racers to dodge.

====''Mario Kart Wii''====
Fireballs also appeared in ''[[Mario 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''====
[[File:MK7 Mario fireball.png|thumb|left|Artwork of Mario preparing to throw a fireball in ''Mario Kart 7''.]]
Fireballs appear in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'' where they are used as a special weapon. They can only be used if the [[Fire Flower]] item, which allows the racers to shoot fireballs forwards and backwards, is acquired. A racer hit with a fireball loses a single [[coin]]. The item lasts until ten fireballs are thrown or for ten seconds.

====''Mario Kart 8'' / ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''====
Fireballs appear in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', where they have the same use and effect as in ''Mario Kart 7''.

====''Mario Kart Tour''====
Fireballs appear in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', where they have the same use as in ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!''. Unlike in ''Mario 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 of [[Fire Bro]]'s [[Jump 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===
In the ''[[Club Nintendo (magazine)|Club Nintendo]]'' comic "[[Super Mario: Verloren in der Zeit]]", Fire Mario uses a Fireball to defeat a ''Tyrannosaurus rex''.

===''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars''===
{{SMRPG move infobox

}}
Fireballs appear in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' as a fire-based special attack that [[Mario]] learns when he reaches Level three, under the name of '''Fire Orb''' in the original. The move is called '''Fireball''' in the remake. The attack allows Mario to shoot small fireballs at one enemy. To do more damage than usual, the player should push {{button|snes|Y}} repeatedly while Mario is unleashing fireballs. Fireball uses five [[Flower Point|FP]] and has a Magic Power of twenty points. This attack is useful in the first fight against [[Croco]] in [[Bandit'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]] and [[Ultra Fireball]].

===''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!''===
Fireballs appear only as hazardous obstacles shot by [[Karbine]]s and [[Kroc]] in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' The fireballs shot by Kroc are similar to those shot by [[Karbine]]s, except Kroc shoots from the foreground, whilst Karbines do so in the background.

===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===
{{main-wiki|SmashWiki|Fireball}}
[[File:Smash Ultimate Fireball Mario.jpg|thumb|left|Mario's Fireball in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'']]
Fireballs appear as the standard special move used by both Mario and Luigi throughout the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]]. The fireballs here only deal a small amount of damage, unlike with games of the ''Super 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 are [[Green Fireball|green]] 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 [[Inhale|sucked up]] Mario or Luigi, and the color and performance of the Fireball are according to which Mario Brother he has sucked up. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'', and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', Yoshi can spit single fireballs in his [[Final Smash]] [[Super Dragon|form]].

In ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' and ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'', the first custom variant of Mario's Fireball is '''Fast Fireball''', in which the fireball travels directly forward at high speed but does not cause knockback and deals less damage. The second is '''Fire 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 are '''Bouncing Fireball''', which behaves like Mario's standard Fireball, and '''[[Ice Ball]]''', which moves more slowly but can freeze opponents.

In ''[[Super 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.
{{br|left}}

===''Mario & Luigi'' series===
====''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'' / ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions''====
In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' and its remake, ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]'', Mario throws his fireballs upon using [[Fire Bros. (move)|Fire Bros.]] [[Bros. Attack]] in the battle. Mario is also given his fire technique known as [[Firebrand]], which acts like fireballs, lighting all the [[Torch (object)|Torches]] so that some location can be accessible for the Bros.

In the tutorial battle with [[Bowser]], Bowser only attacks Mario using his [[Fire Breath]]. As [[Rookie]], he also spits fireballs alongside throwing [[hammer]]s, similar to how he attacked in the original ''Super Mario Bros.'' [[Bowletta]], a transformation between [[Cackletta]] and Bowser, also tries to breathe heavily and, after a few seconds, tries to breathe massive fire to defeat the Mario Bros. which can be done by dodging. Additionally, fireballs also appear during the final battle with Cackletta.

====''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time''====
In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', the [[Fire Flower#Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time|Bros. Flowers]], based on the normal Fire Flowers, is one of the [[Bros. Item]]s that allows Mario, Luigi, and their [[Baby Mario|baby]] [[Baby Luigi|counterparts]] to throw fireballs at the enemies during the battle. [[Blazing Shroob]]s, found in [[Thwomp Caverns]], the [[Shrooboid Brat]] and [[Elder Shrooboid]] can also attack using fireballs. If the wrong brother hits the [[Adult 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''====
In ''[[Mario & 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 Flower [[Bros. Attack|Special Attack]] that allows them to throw fireballs at enemies.

====''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team''====
In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]'', the Fire Flower returns as a Bros. Attack, which once again allows Mario and Luigi to throw fireballs at the enemies. The [[Luiginary Flame]] [[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team#Luiginary Attack|Luiginary Attack]] also involves the use of fireballs to damage all enemies, and the [[Fire Bro]]s. also attack by using fireballs.

====''Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam''====
In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'', the Fire Flower once again returns as a Bros. Attack which makes the bros throw fireballs at all enemies. These fireballs deal critical damage to Paper enemies.

===''Mario Baseball'' series===
====''Mario Superstar Baseball''====
[[File:MSB Fireball Icon.png|thumb|Fireball in ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]'']]
The Fireball is Mario's [[Star Skill]] in ''[[Mario 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 equivalent [[Green 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''====
[[File:Mario-FireBall-MSS.png|thumb|left|Mario uses his Fire Ball Star Pitch in ''Mario Super Sluggers''.]]
Fireballs reappeared in ''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]''. Like in ''Mario 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!''===
Fireballs only appear as uncommon enemy attacks. [[Volcannon]]s shoot them from their erupting tops, and the [[Shake King]] can drop waves of fireballs during his battle.
