==History==
===''Super Mario'' series===
====''Super Mario Bros. 2''====
{{multiframe|[[File:Fryguy SMB2 Sprite.png]][[File:SMAS SMB2 Fryguy.png]]|align=left}}
During the events of ''Super Mario Bros. 2'', Fryguy, a living flame, is the boss of [[World 4 (Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 4]], an icy arctic ocean; he is stationed in a tall fortress at the end of [[World 4-3 (Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 4-3]]. When confronted by [[Mario]] and his friends, Fryguy spits [[fireball]]s down to attack the heroes. Since Fryguy is made of fire, the heroes take damage if they touch him. To defeat Fryguy, [[Mushroom Block]]s (masks in ''[[Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic]]'') must be thrown at him. After three hits, the battle enters the second phase, as Fryguy splits into four [[Small Fry Guy]]s, which must also be extinguished. Between the NES version and later versions, his sprite is heavily redrawn, with his eyes being more open, his mask being light blue instead of black, and his fire having twice as many animation frames. Additionally, his face is a separate graphic from his body in the later versions.

In ''[[Super Mario Advance]]'', he is shown being seemingly created on-screen by four of Wart's giant bubbles; however, instead of fire (as mentioned in the manual), the bubbles form him from an empty version of his mask. He is also voiced by Charles Martinet in this version of the game.

====''BS Super Mario USA''====
[[File:FryGuy BS SuperMario.png|thumb]]
Fryguy appears once again as a boss in the pseudo-sequel, ''[[BS Super Mario USA]]''. He makes his first appearance in the third broadcast, helping Wart and the other [[8 bits]] attack Subcon once more, but is eventually defeated by Mario and the other heroes once again. Like the predecessor, he is found in the snowy lands of Subcon and he is fought in the same way to that of ''Super Mario Bros. 2''. He also shows up to attack 19 minutes into the broadcast, regardless of the player's location. In this game, he has the personality of a cultured samurai and speaks with an archaic, formal speech. He will give a discourse about ''{{wp|bushido}}'' or recite ''{{wp|haiku}}''.

===''The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!''===
[[File:CartoonFryguyTwo.jpg|thumb|left|Fryguy, as he appeared in ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'' episode, "[[The Great BMX Race]]".]]
Fryguy is a character in ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'' Like many antagonists  on the show, he works for [[Bowser|King Koopa]], as opposed to Wart (as in the video games). Fryguy does not appear as much as other ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' antagonists on the show.

====List of episodes featuring Fryguy====
*[[The Great BMX Race]]
*[[Too Hot to Handle]]
*[[Hooded Robin and His Mario Men]]

===Nintendo Comics System===
Fryguy also appears in the [[Nintendo Comics System]]'s ''Mario'' comics. In the comics, there is not just one Fryguy, but [[Fryguy (species)|multiple]]. Instead of being created by magic, these Fryguys are instead created when [[Toad (species)|Mushroom People]] become engulfed in fire or lava. In one comic story, [[Duh Stoopid Bomb!]], a sole [[Snifit]] becomes a super-genius after being exposed to one of Bowser's inventions. This Snifit then performs a coup and takes over [[Bowser's Castle]]. After the coup, Bowser is expelled to "[[Fryguy Kindergarten]]". Another page mentioned a "Fryguy High School", with events such as a "hot baseball team that threw sixteen consectutive no-hitters".

===Nintendo Adventure Books===
Fryguy and some of his [[GLOM]]-spawned clones try to attack Mario as he is exploring the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] in ''[[Double Trouble (book)|Double Trouble]]'', but he avoids them.

===''Super Mario-Kun''===
[[File:FryGuy SuperMarioKun.jpg|thumb|From ''Super Mario-Kun'']]
Mario, Luigi, and [[Yoshi]] encounter Fryguy in volume 8 of ''[[Super Mario-Kun]]''. He and his minions attempt to cook them in a soup, but [[Toad]] and [[Birdo]] arrive by breaking through the sky, riding on a [[whale]], which then flattens Fryguy and his minions.

===Other appearances===
In the [[Super Mario Bros. (film)|''Super Mario Bros.'' film]], the flamethrowers used by Koopa and his minions are referred to as "Fryguy Flamethrowers."

In ''[[Super Mario Bros. & Friends: When I Grow Up]],'' the description of the Firefighter career page reveals that Fryguy has started a fire. This Fryguy lacks a mask, instead having bushy eyebrows.

A [[Sammer Guy]] in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'' is called [[List of Sammer Guys#Guy Who Fry|Guy Who Fry]].
