The Fire Bar (ファイアバー, Fire Bar) is an item in Super Smash Bros. 4.
Operation
The Fire Bar is a battering item that deals flame damage. Every other time the Fire Bar is swung and deals damage, one of its five fireballs will disappear, reducing the weapon's range, down to a minimum of one fireball. Damage from throwing the item does not count towards the loss of fireballs, but it also does not reset it.
The Fire Bar is a fairly powerful weapon; its forward smash can KO at 50% when fully charged.
Damage
Damage dealt by the Fire Bar varies depending on distance, with the fireballs closer to the base being stronger. This does not change as fireballs are lost, so when there is only one fireball left only the maximum damage is possible.
| Attack | Fireball 1 | Fireball 2 | Fireball 3 | Fireball 4 | Fireball 5 |

| Neutral attack | 7% | 7.5% | 8% | 8.5% | 9% |
| Forward tilt | 12% | 12.7% | 13.4% | 14.1% | 14.8% |
| Dash attack | 11% | 11.6% | 12.2% | 12.8% | 13.4% |
| Forward smash | 16% | 16.8% | 17.6% | 18.4% | 19.2% |
| Throw | 6-18% (momentum-based) | ||||

A rotating row of fireballs found in the Mario series, most often as a fiery obstacle in Bowser's Castle. In this game, you can swing the fire bar at your enemies! It's a powerful weapon, but as you hit people with it, the fireballs go out, one at a time. And no fire means no fun.

Origin
Fire Bars first appeared in Super Mario Bros., and have appeared in numerous Mario games ever since. They are not items, but rather stationary obstacles, rods of fireballs that rotate on a block and typically appear 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..
