Fire Flower: Difference between revisions

|latest_appearance=''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]'' ([[List of games by date#2023|2023]])

The Fire Flower, being a common and recognizable item, has seen a number of variants. Its ice counterpart is known as the [[Ice Flower]], which is a common power-up after ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', and its golden counterpart is known as the [[Gold Flower]]. The Fire Flower is used as a basis for [[Flower (Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars)|flower points]] (a ''Super Mario'' stand-in for magic points in other RPGs) in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' and in the subsequent two ''Paper Mario'' games.

In the [[Game Boy Advance]] version, Mario retains the new behavior added on by ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' in which Fire Mario immediately becomes Super Mario upon being hit.

The Fire Flower item returns in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', and it works similarly to how it did in ''Mario Kart 7'', with the difference being one can throw more than 3 fireballs at one time. A meter is added to indicate players how much time is left until the Fire Flower's effects disappear. Additionally, the statue of [[Princess Peach]] in [[Toad Harbor]] can be seen holding a Fire Flower in its lowered right hand. A flower patch with a Fire Flower design can also be found in the background of {{classic-link|GCN|Baby Park}}. In {{classic-link|Wii|Coconut Mall}} from the [[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]], there is a shop named "Fire Flower Curry House".

The Fire Flower is a one-use item in [[Paper Mario (series)|''Paper Mario'' series]] and can be found in shops, enemy item drops (such as from [[Piranha Plant]]s), and item blocks. Rather than transforming Mario, Mario plants the Fire Flower, and the Fire Flower emits fire that burns opponents. If used against ice enemies, it deals an extra 2 damage points, whereas it replenishes the health of fire enemies such as the [[Lava Bubble]] and [[Ember]]. These items can be purchased in many [[shop]]s, such as in the [[Shroom Grocery]] from [[Toad Town]], [[Koopa's Shop]] from [[Koopa Village]], and [[Yoshi's Cabana]] from [[Lavalava Island]] from the [[Nintendo 64]] game ''[[Paper Mario]]''.

In ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis]]'', Fire Flowers are introduced in [[Tropical Island]]. When a [[Mini]] touches a Fire Flower, it turns into its [[Fire Mario|fire form]] for a limited time; for example, a Mini Mario that touches a Fire Flower turns into Fire Mini Mario and begins throwing fireballs within a limited time to defeat temporarily stun enemies. Fire Flowers can be obtained from a ? Block if a Mini hits the ? Block from below.

|''Once you grab this item, press and hold down the A Button to make the flower breathe flames until its power gives out. The Fire Flower is incredibly useful when you want to push someone off the edge of a stage. In Super Mario Bros., it transformed Mario into Fire Mario, changing his garb and enabling him to throw fireballs.''

You can also throw Fire Flowers at enemies to set them on fire for a brief moment. In Super Mario Bros., Fire Flowers were used to transform Mario into Fire Mario.''

|''This Fire Flower won't transform you like in the Mario series, but it will still let you unleash some fiery damage! Holding down the attack button lets you spew fire at your opponents, dealing constant damage to them. You can also throw it at them, but it just doesn't look as cool that way.''

|''Unfortunately, picking up this item won't get you a cool outfit like in the Mario series, but you can still use it to shoot fire, and that's what matters. It doesn't do much damage on its own, but fire it continuously and it'll all add up! If you get bored, just throw it at your opponent, but don't expect a massive explosion or anything.''
