Lil Sparkies, also called Sparkies,[1] are enemies introduced in Super Mario World. They are little sparks that travel along platforms, first appearing in Super Mario World. They usually behave similarly to Sparks.

History[edit]

Super Mario series[edit]

Super Mario World[edit]

Li'lSparky SMW.png

Lil Sparkies are enemies in Super Mario World. They move around platforms quickly and can be defeated by Invincible Mario or Caped Mario's Body Press. They are found in #6 Wendy's Castle and Front Door, specifically in rooms with Hotheads.

Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3[edit]

Lil Sparkies are enemies in Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3. They appear only in the World-e levels Swinging Bars of Doom, A Sky-High Adventure, and Puzzling Pipe Maze. Lil Sparkies can be defeated from Statue Mario's stomp or hammers thrown by Hammer Mario.

Super Mario Bros. Wonder[edit]

Lil Sparkies are enemies in Super Mario Bros. Wonder. They can now be defeated either with bubbles while the player is in Bubble form or by being crushed by a platform.

Super Mario Bros. (1993 film)[edit]

A neon sign reading "Sparky" appears in Koopa Square in the 1993 Super Mario Bros. film.

Paper Mario[edit]

In Paper Mario, a Lil Sparky (parsed Li'l Sparky) named Watt was imprisoned in a lantern by the Big Lantern Ghost. After Mario defeats the Big Lantern Ghost, Watt joins Mario's party, making her the first playable Li'l Sparky.

Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga / Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions[edit]

Spark in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga

In Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga and Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions, Lil Sparkies, referred to as sparks,[2] make a cameo in three pseudo-sidescrolling levels to reach a mole. If Mario or Luigi is attacked by them, he will get knocked back to the beginning. They exhibit several different patterns in this game, including bouncing and floating like Amps.

Super Princess Peach[edit]

Lil Sparkies (parsed Lil' Sparky) are enemies in Super Princess Peach. They behave similarly to how they act in Super Mario World, and are invincible to everything Peach can do. Lil' Sparkies are found in Shriek Mansion and Bowser's Villa. Unlike most other enemies in the game, they do not have a vibe-based counterpart.
