'''Fireballs''' ({{ja|ファイアボール}} ''Faia Bōru'') are small [[projectile]]s launched by [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] as their [[neutral special move]]s. Each travels a short distance, do minor damage and cause [[flinch]]ing common to fire-based attacks. The ball's trajectory changes according to the stage's surface angle upon contact, though with different results for each character. Mario's ability to shoot fireballs provides the design justification for his other [[Flame|fire]]-based moves in the ''Smash'' series. | '''Fireballs''' ({{ja|ファイアボール}} ''Faia Bōru'') are small [[projectile]]s launched by [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] as their [[neutral special move]]s.

Mario's red fireballs fall to the ground, losing momentum with each bounce. As such, they are more effective when fired from higher locations and toward downward slopes, traveling further. When firing at a wall or upward slope, the balls will bounce backward, a more defensive maneuver for brief protection from oncoming foes, perhaps in the air or from behind. Mario's fireballs can be [[spam]]med, though with some difficulty (and at a slower rate of fire than Luigi's), and are a decent [[approach]] tactic. The move can be more efficient when used in the air, falling to meet the enemy at ground level, while still moving, and negating [[lag]]. | Mario's red fireballs fall to the ground, losing momentum with each bounce.

Fireballs were introduced in the game '' | Fireballs were introduced in the game ''{{h2|Mario (universe)|Mario Bros.}}''. Red and green fireballs would periodically travel across the screen as hazards. The red fireballs moved in a random pattern, being affected by gravity, and the green fireballs moved in a straight path, not being affected by gravity at all. Only the green ones appear in [[Mario Bros. (stage)|''Brawl''{{'}}s version]] of the stage, but they start out as red/purple before moving. | ||

The power is lost when the player dies or takes damage. In the game, fireballs were small, traveled very quickly, and did not stop until hitting something. Also in this game, and other traditional Mario games, Luigi's fireballs are not unique, being red in color and behaving exactly like Mario's. | ||
A fire flower would also change the character's clothing colors; Mario's overalls became red, while Luigi's turned green, both with white shirts and cap. These color schemes are available as [[Costume|alternate costumes]] for Mario and Luigi in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. | A fire flower would also change the character's clothing colors; Mario's overalls became red, while Luigi's turned green, both with white shirts and cap.
