Fighter Fly: Difference between revisions

A '''Fighter Fly''' (originally spelled '''Fighterfly'''), also referred to as a '''firefly'''<ref>{{cite|language=en-us|date=1985|publisher=Nintendo of America|title=''Mario Bros.'' NES instruction booklet|page=2|quote=There are plenty of cagey critters to conquer -- turtles, crabs and fireflies, to mention a few.}}</ref> or '''bee''',<ref>{{cite|date=Spring 2001|title=''Nintendo Power Advance'' V.1|page=40}}</ref> is a hopping insect that first appeared in the sewers of the original ''[[Mario Bros. (game)|Mario Bros.]]'' arcade game. The name Fighter Fly is a pun on the [[wikipedia:Fight-or-flight response|fight-or-flight response]].

In ''Mario Bros.'', Fighter Flies are one of the myriad of pests that emerge from pipes to attack Mario and Luigi. They first appear in Phase 6 in international releases and Phase 7 in Japanese versions. After a Fighter Fly emerges, it hops across the [[floor (Mario Bros.)|floor]]s. As such, Mario has to precisely time his [[jump]] when the Fighter Fly is on the ground to flip the creature over. If airborne, a Fighter Fly cannot be flipped over - not even if Mario uses the [[POW Block]]. Once flipped over, Mario has to run into the insect to clear it off the stage.

In ''[[Super Mario Land]]'', Fighterflies are simply named '''Flies'''<ref>{{cite|language=en-us|date=1989|publisher=Nintendo of America|title=''Super Mario Land'' instruction booklet|page=16}}</ref><ref>{{cite|date=1991|title=Nintendo ''Game Boy'' Player's Guide|page=5|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us}}</ref> and are seen in the [[Birabuto Kingdom]] of [[Sarasaland]]. In this game, they hop towards Mario, just like in ''Mario Bros.'' Some of them spawn in midair and hop downward when scrolled on-screen instead of appearing simply on the ground. [[Kumo]]s from the [[Easton Kingdom]] attack in the same manner as Flies. They can simply be jumped on or be shot with a [[Superball Mario|Superball]] to be defeated. Flies award Mario with 400 points when he defeats them. They are only found in [[World 1-1 (Super Mario Land)|World 1-1]] and [[World 1-3 (Super Mario Land)|World 1-3]] where, in the latter, one poses as [[Princess Daisy]].
