Editing Superspicy Curry

The Superspicy Curry first appeared as an item in ''[[Kirby's Dream Land]]''. If [[Kirby]] consumed the item, he would temporarily be given the ability to spit individual fireballs at his enemies, referencing the spiciness of its [[wikipedia:Curry|real-world counterpart]]; ''Kirby's Dream Land'' did not allow Kirby to copy the abilities of his enemies, and as such, the item can be considered a precursor to his trademark ability to copy abilities. To date, the item has not reappeared in the series, primarily because the item's use has been superseded by Fire Kirby and other transformations. In the port included in ''Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition'', the instruction manual on the Home Menu simply calls it "Hot Food".

The Superspicy Curry was also in the episode "A Spice Odyssey", also referred to as ''The Hot Shot Chef'' ("Spicy! Family Restaurant War" in Japanese) from the ''Kirby'' anime, ''{{iw|wikirby|Kirby: Right Back at Ya!}}'' (called ''Hoshi no Kabi'', meaning ''Kirby of the Stars'', in Japanese), though it was renamed ''Toxic Atomic Curry'' in English. Unlike how it worked in ''Kirby's Dream Land'', whenever someone ate the curry, they would release an uncontrollable stream of fire from their mouth rather than multiple fireballs; in the episode, Kirby uses the curry in order to defeat Monsieur Goan.

==Overview==

Upon consumption of the Superspicy Curry, the user will continuously have flames erupting from their mouth in an up-and-down flame pattern for thirteen seconds. While similar in effect to the [[Fire Flower]], the character can still attack throughout the transformation; as these flames cannot be interrupted outside of grabbing, players can even inflict damage while [[taunt]]ing. While the flames deal only 1% per hit, the "fanning" motion of the numerous hitboxes and their low knockback can allow the player to inflict considerable damage on their opponents if they force them against walls or otherwise find another method to keep them in place. The individual flames of the item, however, are considered to be energy-based projectiles, and as such, they can be [[reflect]]ed and even [[absorb]]ed. In addition the flames disappear if the player [[grab]]s an opponent, likely to prevent forming an overly powerful [[wobble]] effect.

In ''Brawl'' and ''for Wii U'', the Superspicy Curry also affects the user's movement, forcing players to constantly [[dash]] instead of [[walk]] whenever moving, with the animation itself comically playing much faster than usual. In ''Ultimate'', it no longer forces the user to dash constantly when consumed, thus allowing them to freely use their [[forward tilt]]s.

"Curry" is among the various modifiers available in ''Brawl''{{'}}s Special Brawl, ''for Wii U''{{'}}s Special Smash, and ''Ultimate''{{'}} Custom Smash. When selected, it puts all players in a permanent curry status.

==Trophies==

===In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''===

|gamelist={{Trophy games|console1=GB|game1=Kirby's Dream Land}}

|game=Brawl

The Superspicy Curry trophy appears in both versions. In {{forwiiu}} it is part of the ''The Beginning of Kirby'' {{h1|Trophy Box|The Beginning of Kirby}}.

|desc-ntsc=Hope you're a fan of spicy food, because this curry will set your mouth on fire! I'm not kidding—whoever eats this will actually shoot balls of fire from his or her mouth, hurting those who get too close. Water doesn't help with spiciness, so this works underwater too! Too bad there's no milk weapon...

==Spirits==

While the Superspicy Curry itself does not have a [[spirit]], the item appears as an ability for the [[primary spirit]] Paper Bowser (Paper Mario: Sticker Star) and the [[support spirit]]s Blargg, Arcanine, Mist, Twinbellows, Blaze the Cat, and Chef (Personal Trainer: Cooking). Using any of the listed spirits will equip the player with Superspicy Curry at the start of a match. Using the Ender Dragon spirit will give a special version of Superspicy Curry that has extra range.

*In ''SSB4'', there is a glitch that involves two players having Superspicy Curry making the players go up until they get KOed by the upper blast line.

*In ''{{iw|wikirby|Kirby Mass Attack}}'', the Superspicy Curry appears with the ''Super Smash Bros.'' design in the minigame ''{{iw|wikirby|Kirby Quest}}''.

*In ''SSB4'' and ''Ultimate'', many characters under the effect of Superspicy Curry have their cheeks colored red. While this only applies to their idle pose in ''SSB4'', characters maintain their expressions until the curry runs out in ''Ultimate''.

**In ''SSB4'', {{SSB4|Mega Man}}'s entire face turns red.

**This has [https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/super-smash-bros-ahegao-faces?full=1 become a sort of meme and "innuendo" for its suggestive undertones], particularly when the effect is on a female character, due to the fact that they can resemble "[https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/subcultures/ahegao ahegao faces]".
