The Fire Bar (ファイアバー, Fire Bar) is an item from the Super Smash Bros. series, based on the Fire Rod from the Mario series.

Origin

Source: Super Mario Wiki
A Fire Bar as it originally appeared in Super Mario Bros.

Fire Rods made their debut as obstacles in Super Mario Bros. and has become recurring obstacle in later Mario games. They are spinning rods of fireballs that rotate on a block, mostly appearing in castle levels. The design of the block of the Fire Bar item is based on their design in contemporary 3D Mario games, while the fire is based on the design of fireballs in Super Mario Bros..

Overview

As an item

The Fire Bar debuts in Super Smash Bros 4 as a battering weapon.

The Fire Bar features a unique mechanism involving ammunition, featuring five fireballs. When it is swung and hits the opponent, it will deal fire damage, alongside moderate knockback and damage, with a forward smash being able to KO opponents at 50% when fully charged. Fireballs closer to the hilt deal more damage than those distant from it. However, when the Fire Bar hits the opponent every two times, the fireballs gradually disappear. It cannot go below one fireball, lowering its effective range. Throwing the item does not count towards the loss of fireballs, but it does not reset it.

The Fire Bar does not have a hitbox on its hilt, and all hitboxes in the weapon are only on the fireballs. As a result, the weapon cannot harm opponents at point-blank range, and hitting with the fireballs becomes more and more difficult as the fireballs begin to dissipate.
