Fire Bro: Difference between revisions

Fire Bros reappear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'' and its expansion, ''[[New Super Luigi U]]''. Their fireballs are shown being able to ignite [[Bob-omb]]s, as demonstrated in [[Light Blocks, Dark Tower]]. Aside from using ice balls to neutralize their fireballs, players can also defend themselves with [[Baby Yoshi]]s, which can eat the fireballs that Fire Bros and other enemies throw at them, and Fire Bros themselves can be stunned and flipped on their backs by [[Glowing Baby Yoshi]]s whenever they emit a pulse of bright light at close range.

Excluding Enemy Courses, a total of 23 Fire Bros appear in ''New Super Mario Bros. U'', making them the most common Hammer Bro. type in the game. Four are encountered in [[Fire Snake Cavern]], another four in [[Prickly Goombas!]] ([[Fire and Ice]]), two in [[Light Blocks, Dark Tower]], eight in [[Slide Lift Tower]], three in [[Snaking above Mist Valley]], and two in [[Ludwig's Clockwork Castle]]. The same number of Fire Bros appear in ''New Super Luigi U'', with two in [[Piranhas in the Dark]], a pair near the end in [[Slippery Rope Ladders]], three in [[Shish-Kebab Tower]], four in [[Fire and Ice]], one in [[All Aboard!]], three in [[Switch-Lift Express]], six in [[Stonecrush Tower]], and two near the end of [[Magmaw River Cruise]]. For the first time since the levels of [[World-e]] in ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', Fire Bros have been featured in a tower, castle, and airship level, with Slide-Lift Tower and its equivalent, Stonecrush Tower, being the levels that featured them the most prominently in their respective games.

Fire Bros are also found in the first special challenge of [[Challenge Mode (New Super Mario Bros. U)|Challenge Mode]], [[Fire, Bro!]], where the player must dodge the fireballs of two Fire Bros to their right for at least 15 (bronze), 25 (silver), or 40 (gold) seconds, with the enemies disappearing and the challenge ending in 50 seconds. A harder version of the challenge, [[Seriously! Fire, Bro!]], involves two pairs of Fire Bros, one on each side of the player.
