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 (Phase 7 in Japan). After a Fighter Fly emerges, it hops across the stage's platforms. 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.
Fighter Flies are enemies first found in Phase 6 in international releases and Phase 7 in Japanese versions in ''Mario Bros.'' Early iterations depict them with large toothy scowls and shiny eyes, though the [[Battle Game (Super Mario All-Stars)|Battle Game]] of ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'' and the [[Mario Bros. (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance version]] redesigned them with large white eyes with black pupils, small closed mouths, a light orange head, and a nose, with the latter remake also giving them three colors and speeds. It hops across the [[floor]], where [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] at it from below if the Fighter Fly is not on the ground.<ref>{{cite|quote=When directly underneath them, jump up to knock them over.|author=Tsuboike, Yoshio, et al.|date=Spring 2001|title=''Nintendo Power Advance'' Volume 1|page=40}}</ref> Fighter Flies use a green color palette in the ''[[Luigi Bros.]]'' reskin in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and [[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury|its port]].
 
In early iterations of the game, their design features large toothy scowls and shiny eyes, but their design was redone for the multiplayer mode of the ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'' version of ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. Their design in this title has large white eyes with black pupils, while their scowls are replaced with small closed mouths, their heads are a light orange color, and they have noses. This design is further developed in the iteration of the game included on many [[Game Boy Advance]] games, which also gives them three colors and speeds depending on how many times they have been flipped over, like the other target enemies have.
 
====In other iterations of ''Mario Bros.''====
Fighter Flies appear in ''Luigi Bros.'', an additional game featured in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]''. Like the other enemies in ''Luigi Bros.'', Fighter Flies behave in the same way as in ''Mario Bros.'', which this game is based on.
 
Fighter Flies are present in ''[[NES Remix]]'' as enemies and level objectives in some of the challenges and remixes based on ''Mario Bros.''.
 
===''Mario Bros. Special''===
In ''[[Mario Bros. Special]]'', 1984 semi-sequel by [[Hudson Soft]], Fighter Flies can only be stunned if it is only a trampoline or conveyor belt that is being bounced on by Mario or Luigi. They first appear in Phase 9.


===''Punch Ball Mario Bros.''===
Fighter Flies also have a role in the other two [[Hudson Soft]] titles, ''[[Mario Bros. Special]]'' (first found in Phase 9) and ''[[Punch Ball Mario Bros.]]'' (first found in Phase 6). Fighterflies can be stunned in ''Mario Bros. Special'' from a trampoline or conveyor belt only, while ''Punch Ball Mario Bros.'' now adds the possibility of doing so from either a POW Block if it is on the ground or a [[Punch Ball]]; in the latter game, Fighter Flies become green and move faster if they either recover or become the last enemy remaining.
In ''[[Punch Ball Mario Bros.]]'', the other sequel by Hudson Soft, Fighter Flies can be flipped over by hitting the POW Block while it is on the ground or having a [[Punch Ball]] thrown at them. If they recover or become the last target enemy on stage, they will turn green and move faster. They first appear in Phase 6.

In ''[[Super Mario Bros. Special]]'', Fighter Flies, named '''Nakaji''', appear in five levels. While it is not possible to [[stomp]] them, they can be defeated by any other method, including with a [[hammer]].
They are called '''Nakaji''' in ''[[Super Mario Bros. Special]]'', presumably after one of the game developers, Tomohiko Nakajima. Nakaji appear in five [[level]]s only. They cannot be [[stomp]]ed but can be defeated from either a [[hammer|Hummer]] or some other method.

In ''[[Super Mario Land]]'', Fighter Flies are simply named '''Flies'''<ref>''Super Mario Land'' English instruction booklet, page 16.</ref><ref>The Nintendo ''Game Boy'' Player's Guide, page 5.</ref> and are seen in the [[Birabuto Kingdom]] of [[Sarasaland]]. In this game, they hop towards Mario, just like in ''Mario Bros.'' [[Kumo]]s from the [[Easton Kingdom]] attack in the same manner as Fighter 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 where, in the latter, one poses as [[Princess Daisy]].
'''Flies'''<ref>{{cite|date=1989|title=''Super Mario Land'' instruction booklet|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|page=16}}</ref><ref>{{cite|date=1991|title=Nintendo ''Game Boy'' Player's Guide|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|page=5}}</ref> are enemies in ''[[Super Mario Land]]''.

Either a [[Superball Mario|Superball]] or a [[stomp]] can defeat a Fly, causing it to give 400 points.

====''Super Mario Maker''====
====''Super Mario Maker''====
A [[Mystery Mushroom]] costume, designed after Fighter Fly, can be unlocked in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' (after the [[Super Mario Maker#Version 1.20|version 1.20]] update) by completing the hard version of [[Gnat Attack]]. When performing a jump as Fighter Fly, the player can hear the high-pitched noise this enemy made in the original ''Mario Bros.''. If the player presses {{button|wii|Padup}} while playing as Fighter Fly, it will turn into a [[Freezie]], which is a foe that also debuted in ''Mario Bros.''
The [[Super Mario Maker#Version 1.20|version 1.20]] update of ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' adds a [[Mystery Mushroom]] costume based on a Fighter Fly, unlocked by completing the hard version of [[Gnat Attack]]. The jumping sound effect is replaced by the high-pitched noise of a Fighter Fly in ''Mario Bros.'', and holding {{button|wii|Padup}} turns Fighter Fly into a [[Freezie]].

===''Super Mario'' (Kodansha manga)===
[[File:MLSS Fighter Fly battle.png|thumb|left|A Fighter Fly and [[Bill Blaster]] fight in ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]
In ''[[Super Mario Land (manga)|Super Mario Land]]'', Fighter Flies, depicted like giant anthropomorphic flies (with compound eyes and proboscis), are met in [[Birabuto Kingdom]]. One attaches itself onto [[Mecha Kuribō (character)|Mecha Kuribō]], who is actually [[Princess Peach]] in disguise, making her yell in disgust when the enemy starts slurping with its mouth. Mario quickly defeats it. When Daisy is rescued from [[King Totomesu]], she jumps at Mario and starts to kiss him, only to reveal she was a Fighter Fly in disguise, making Mario gag.
In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'', they make a reappearance in [[Stardust Fields]], the border between the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] and the [[Beanbean Kingdom]]. To attack, a Fighter Fly hops towards Mario or Luigi and tries to bump into the plumber. The heroes can [[jump]] to avoid the attack.
 
===''Super Mario-kun''===
In ''[[Super Mario-kun]]'', Fighter Flies are among the ''Super Mario Land'' enemies to appear in [[Super Mario-kun Volume 3|volume 3]], where one even attacks Mario by biting. Later, Mario grabs a [[Super Star]] and defeats them alongside the other enemies.


The Fighter Flies are orange with blue hands and feet, pink antennae, small wings, and have large green squinting eyelids.
Another Fighter Fly also appears in chapter 9 of [[Super Mario-kun Volume 9|volume 9]], which takes place in a ''Mario Bros.'' styled arena where Mario, Luigi and Yoshi are trapped. It does not play any important role.
In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]'', their feet are pink instead of light blue.


Mario and Luigi also encounter a stronger version of the Fighter Fly, the [[Super Fly (enemy)|Super Fly]], in the basement of [[Beanbean Castle]].

Jump at the end of the pause.|author=Thomason, Steve|date=2003|title=''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'' Player's Guide|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|isbn=1-930206-43-7|page=33}}</ref> The game also adds the stronger [[Super Fly (enemy)|Super Fly]] variety, found in the basement of [[Beanbean Castle]].


In the remake's ''Minion Quest'' mode, a Fighter Fly makes a cameo as the first audition for [[Popple]]'s new "Rookie," a position which [[Birdo]] ends up receiving.

A Fighter Fly (originally spelled Fighterfly), also referred to as a firefly[1] or bee,[2] is a hopping insect that first appeared in the sewers of the original Mario Bros. arcade game. The name Fighter Fly is a pun on both "firefly" and the fight-or-flight response.

History

Mario Bros. series

 
 
 
 
 
Fighter Flies as they appear in the original, NES, Super Mario Bros. 3, All-Stars, and Advance versions
 
 
Fighter Flies as they appear in the Atari 2600 and Atari 5200 versions

Fighter Flies are enemies first found in Phase 6 in international releases and Phase 7 in Japanese versions in Mario Bros. Early iterations depict them with large toothy scowls and shiny eyes, though the Battle Game of Super Mario All-Stars and the Game Boy Advance version redesigned them with large white eyes with black pupils, small closed mouths, a light orange head, and a nose, with the latter remake also giving them three colors and speeds. It hops across the floor, where Mario or Luigi at it from below if the Fighter Fly is not on the ground.[3] Fighter Flies use a green color palette in the Luigi Bros. reskin in Super Mario 3D World and its port.

Fighter Flies also have a role in the other two Hudson Soft titles, Mario Bros. Special (first found in Phase 9) and Punch Ball Mario Bros. (first found in Phase 6). Fighterflies can be stunned in Mario Bros. Special from a trampoline or conveyor belt only, while Punch Ball Mario Bros. now adds the possibility of doing so from either a POW Block if it is on the ground or a Punch Ball; in the latter game, Fighter Flies become green and move faster if they either recover or become the last enemy remaining.

Super Mario series

Super Mario Bros. Special

They are called Nakaji in Super Mario Bros. Special, presumably after one of the game developers, Tomohiko Nakajima. Nakaji appear in five levels only. They cannot be stomped but can be defeated from either a Hummer or some other method.

Super Mario Land

 
Artwork from Super Mario Land

Flies[4][5] are enemies in Super Mario Land. They are found only in World 1-1 and World 1-3, posing as Princess Daisy at the very end of the latter.[6] Flies hop in a single direction, like in the Mario Bros. series, and Kumos attack identically to them. Either a Superball or a stomp can defeat a Fly, causing it to give 400 points.

Super Mario Maker

The version 1.20 update of Super Mario Maker adds a Mystery Mushroom costume based on a Fighter Fly, unlocked by completing the hard version of Gnat Attack. The jumping sound effect is replaced by the high-pitched noise of a Fighter Fly in Mario Bros., and holding   turns Fighter Fly into a Freezie.

Super Mario (Kodansha manga)

In Super Mario Land, Fighter Flies, depicted like giant anthropomorphic flies (with compound eyes and proboscis), are met in Birabuto Kingdom. One attaches itself onto Mecha Kuribō, who is actually Princess Peach in disguise, making her yell in disgust when the enemy starts slurping with its mouth. Mario quickly defeats it. When Daisy is rescued from King Totomesu, she jumps at Mario and starts to kiss him, only to reveal she was a Fighter Fly in disguise, making Mario gag.

Super Mario-kun

In Super Mario-kun, Fighter Flies are among the Super Mario Land enemies to appear in volume 3, where one even attacks Mario by biting. Later, Mario grabs a Super Star and defeats them alongside the other enemies.

Another Fighter Fly also appears in chapter 9 of volume 9, which takes place in a Mario Bros. styled arena where Mario, Luigi and Yoshi are trapped. It does not play any important role.

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

 
Battle in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga

Fighter Flies are enemies in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga. They are orange with green squinting eyelids, blue hands and feet (colored pink in the remake), pink antennae, and small wings. Fighter Flies are found at Stardust Fields. They attack by hopping their way but can be jumped over.[7] The game also adds the stronger Super Fly variety, found in the basement of Beanbean Castle.

A Fighter Fly is the first audition for Popple's new "Rookie" title in Minion Quest: The Search for Bowser, before he decides on Birdo.

Mario Power Tennis

Fighter Flies are obstacles on the Mario Classic Court in Mario Power Tennis. They are rendered in a flat 8-bit model form and walk around, obstructing a player from moving, like other enemies. There is an unused 3D model of a Fighter Fly in the game based on their design in Super Mario All-Stars.

Super Smash Bros. for Wii U

A trophy of Fighter Flies appears in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. Unlike the other Mario Bros. trophies, this trophy uses sprites from Mario Bros. Returns and the second European NES version instead of the arcade version.

Other appearances

Fighterflies are programmable sprites in the Playbox BASIC and Family BASIC accessories for the Family Computer. They are also in the Playbox BASIC's Biorhythm Board as well as enemies in shooter mini-games in the Data Recorder's cassette and Family BASIC V3.

Fighter Flies are enemies and level objectives in some of the Mario Bros.-related challenges in NES Remix.

Random
An enemy from the original Mario Bros. Just as the name implies, they are flies that gracefully move across the stage. They jump to move around, so hit them from below when they land. Unlike other enemies, these pests get faster after recovering from being flipped, rather than when only one is left. Be careful! (American English)
These pests come from the original Mario Bros. The name might make them sound tough, but these guys are actually kind of elegant and graceful. It's best to wait until they're on solid ground, then bop 'em from underneath to flip them over. If they get back up, though, watch out – they'll start gracefully leaping around a bit faster. (British English)
