Fire Flower: Difference between revisions

The Fire Flower made its debut in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]''. They pop out of ? Blocks when Mario or Luigi are in their Super states. Once obtained, they become Fire Mario / Luigi and can toss fireballs, projectiles that are fired diagonally downwards and bounce off the ground. Fireballs are very efficient at clearing out enemies quickly, being the only way to defeat underwater enemies and providing an easier time during Bowser fights.

The Fire Flower has underwent a lot of visual changes within the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series. In ''Super Smash Bros.'', the Fire Flower's design is based on the design from ''Super Mario Bros.'' In ''[[Melee]]'', it has an unique design modeled after a {{s|wikipedia|daisy}}. From ''[[Brawl]]'' onwards, the Fire Flower's design is based on the design from ''{{s|mariowiki|New Super Mario Bros.}}'', which became its standardized look. In ''Ultimate'', the fire looks more cartoony than in previous games.

While holding down the attack button, the Fire Flower spits a stream of fire. Holding the attack button will lead to longer attack times. The flames can be shot for a combined seven seconds and inflict up to 44% damage altogether. While characters could not move while using the item in the first two games, shooting items were later changed in ''Brawl'' as to allowing running and jumping while shooting such items, including the Fire Flower. While the flower can be thrown when it runs out of flames to fire, it cannot KO at any percentage, though it does inflict a burning hitbox. The Fire Flower's flames are considered to be both [[reflection|reflectable]] and [[absorption|absorbable]].

====Damage output====

|desc=Once you grab this item, press and hold down the A Button to make the flower breathe flames until its power gives out. The Fire Flower is incredibly useful when you want to push someone off the edge of a stage. In Super Mario Bros., it transformed Mario into {{iw|mariowiki|Fire Mario}}, changing his garb and enabling him to throw [[fireball]]s.

|desc-pal=Unfortunately, picking this up won't get you a cool outfit like in the Mario series, but you can still use it to shoot fire, and that's what matters. It doesn't do much damage on its own, but fire it continuously and it'll all add up! If you get bored, just throw it at your opponent, but don't expect a massive explosion or anything.

The Fire Flower appears in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' as a Novice-class [[support spirit]]. It can only be [[Shopping|purchased]] from [[Master Spirit|Timmy & Tommy's]].

In addition to the above, equipping the Vulpix, Alraune or the Wonder Flower & Talking Flower support spirits will give the player a Fire Flower at a start of their stock.

*In ''Smash 64'', level 5 and above CPUs will never use a Fire Flower against Fox or Ness, as Fox can reflect the flames and Ness can absorb them. Instead, they will always throw the Fire Flower at them.
