'''Hotheads''' are large balls of sparking energy that first appear in the game ''[[Super Mario World]]''.  

Hotheads first appear in ''[[Super Mario World]]''. They slowly move around platforms and are indestructible to everything but [[Invincible Mario]]. They are found in [[6 Wendy's Castle|#6 Wendy's Castle]] and [[Front Door]], specifically in rooms with [[Lil Sparky|Lil Sparkies]].

Hotheads appear as an item in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' / ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U|Wii U]]'', and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. Like in ''Super Mario World'', they stick to the stage when thrown and burn anyone that touches it. They also release powerful sparks periodically when moving. It also grows larger if hit with fire and electric attacks. Hotheads move quickly around the platform they are on, but can also just fall off entirely. In ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', a Hothead also appears as a support [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]], equipping the fighter with a Hothead at the start of battle when used.

|''An item that, when tossed, sticks to the terrain and moves, causing damage to those it touches. Whoever threw it won't take damage. It will grow larger if it's attacked, which ups its attack range. However, an increase in size corresponds to a decrease in the time it stays on the screen. A really big Hothead will take up the entire screen, and is quite a sight to behold.''

|''Once thrown, this guy will move across the ground and damage everything--except you--in its path. You can make the Hothead bigger by hitting it with attacks, much to opponents' dismay. If you make it really big and powerful, it may just carry you to victory!''

|''Throw this on the ground and it'll slide around, damaging everything in its path, except you. You can make the Hothead get bigger and more powerful by attacking it with fire and lighting, and it's pretty impressive just how big and powerful it can get!''
