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.

Although fireballs appeared in ''Mario Bros.'', the act of shooting fireballs originated in the 1985 game, ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', where the ability was obtained after collecting a [[Fire Flower]]. 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. In most games, only two fireballs could be on screen at a time even if one could be rapid-fired after another.

Luigi's green fireballs made their debut in the Super Smash Bros. series, but reappears later in spin-off like {{s|supermariowiki|Mario Kart: Double Dash!!}}.


A Fire Flower would also change the character's clothing colors, depending on the game. Usually, Mario's overalls became red, while Luigi's turned green, both with white shirts and caps. These color schemes are available as [[Costume|alternate costumes]] for Mario and Luigi in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''.

The ability for Mario to use fire without a Fire Flower is a reference to ''{{s|supermariowiki|Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars}}''. In the game, Mario used some fire-based attacks, such as {{s|supermariowiki|Fire Orb}}, {{s|supermariowiki|Super Flame}} and {{s|supermariowiki|Ultra Flame}}.

Luigi has this capacity in some spin-off, after their introduction in Super Smash Bros.


One of Mario's custom moves, Fire Orb, possesses the same name and a similar appearance as one of his special attacks from ''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars'', but it functions differently from the custom move. Also, one of Luigi's custom moves, Ice Ball, is based off of Ice Mario/Luigi from ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' and ''New Super Mario Bros. U''.
