'''Fire Flowers''' (alternatively written as '''Fireflowers'''<ref>{{cite|quote=Every character has a unique special skill. ''[…]'' Mario’s '''Fireflower''' launches a trio of fireballs.|url=apps.apple.com/us/story/id1477142338|title=Meet the Amazing Racers of Mario Kart Tour ({{file link|App Store screenshot story Meet the Amazing Racers of MKT.png|Screenshot}}.)|publisher=apple.com (United States)|accessdate=October 6, 2021|archive=web.archive.org/web/20211006220600/https://apps.apple.com/us/story/id1477142338}}</ref>), also known as '''Flame Flowers''',<ref>{{cite|deadlink=y|archive=web.archive.org/web/19991127081403/http://www.smashbros.com/enter.html|title=Official American ''Super Smash Bros.'' website|accessdate=May 17, 2018}}</ref> are power-ups introduced in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' They change the player character into their [[Fire Mario|Fire]] form, allowing them to throw [[fireball]]s, which defeat enemies, melt [[Ice Block]]s, and light up dark areas. The Fire Flower is grabbed and wielded in most appearances outside of the [[Super Mario (series)|''Super Mario'' series]], and certain media such as ''[[Club Nintendo (German magazine)|Club Nintendo]]'' and ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' suggest that Fire Flowers are eaten by the characters. While [[Mario]] in ''Club Nintendo'' remarks that the Fire Flower tastes "disgusting," the bio for Fire Flower's constellation in ''[[Mario Party 9]]'' describes it as a spicy and "surprisingly tasty snack." It is an upgrade over the [[Super Mushroom]], which is similarly reflected by the [[Flower Cup]], which a Fire Flower is a symbol of, being higher ranked than the [[Mushroom Cup]].

Fire Flowers were originally design with white petals, a center orange circle, a green stem, and two green leaves for ''Super Mario Bros.'' The design was updated in ''[[Super Mario World]]'' to resemble an orange {{iw|wikipedia|tulip}} with a happy face, as well as a shorter stem and smaller leaves. ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'' introduced the current design of Fire Flowers, which has red and yellow petals, a white face with eyes and a green stem with two leaves. Fire Flowers in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' are depicted with taller leaves and a round flower, and those in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' have pink petals, a yellow face with eyes, and thinner leaves.

The Fire Flower has seen a number of variants. Its ice counterpart is known as the [[Ice Flower]], which is a common power-up after ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', and its golden counterpart is known as the [[Gold Flower]]. The Fire Flower is used as a basis for [[Flower (Super Mario RPG)|Flower Points]] in a few of the role-playing games.

[[File:SMB FireFlower.jpg|thumb|Artwork from ''Super Mario Bros.'', depicting the original design of a Fire Flower]]

In ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]'', if Mario collects a Fire Flower, he obtains the ability to shoot fireballs by pressing {{button|nes|B}}. The fireballs are strong and handy projectiles to use because they can defeat most enemies and even defeat [[Bowser]] with just five hits. Only two fireballs can be thrown at once. If Mario gets hit while he is in [[Fire Mario|Fire form]], he reverts back to [[Small Mario]]. If Small Mario gets a Fire Flower, he only transforms into [[Super Mario (form)|Super Mario]].

In ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', they are the third most common power-up, the first being a [[Super Mushroom]] and the second being a [[Super Leaf]]. Like before, the power-up grants Mario the ability to shoot fireballs. Not much has changed since ''Super Mario Bros.'' regarding their function. They can still defeat Bowser, although he can now withstand a total of 35 fireball hits. The game also introduces the mechanic of melting [[Ice Block]]s with fireballs. The American version of this game introduced the idea that [[Fire Mario]] reverted to Super Mario upon being hit, rather than Small Mario, as in other games. This was retained in all subsequent releases of this game.

In [[Family Computer]] and [[Nintendo Entertainment System]] releases, due to alternative values occasionally being assigned to the typical "green" palette, Fire Flower stems sometimes appear other colors, being cyan in fortress levels, light blue in tank levels, and white in ice levels containing [[beanstalk]]s.

[[File:SMW Fire Flower.jpg|thumb|left|Fire Flower artwork from ''Super Mario World'']]

In ''[[Super Mario World]]'', Fire Flowers received a change in appearance. They appear as happy orange tulip-like plants, though [[List of Super Mario World pre-release and unused content#Test_cartridges|early test cartridges]] used a circular appearance like in the other games. Other than this change, nothing has been changed in function. Due to the introduction of the [[Cape Feather]], Fire Flowers are somewhat rarer than in previous games. This game introduces the [[item storage]] mechanic, having the previous one released when Mario is hit by an enemy when in a super powered form. Because of this, Fire Mario reverts back to Small Mario in the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] version, as he can get the Super Mushroom (or better) that he had before. Additionally, because of the added feature of [[Spin Jump|spin-jumping]] when Mario does so by pressing {{button|snes|A}}, he shoots out fireballs left and right while in the air.

In previous games, if [[Small Mario]] grabbed a Fire Flower, he would become only [[Super Mario (form)|Super Mario]]. This is the official first game in which he can bypass the Super form and become [[Fire Mario]] right away. (The Family Computer and ''Super Mario All-Stars'' versions of ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' allow Small Mario to morph straight to Fire Mario, but only through a [[glitch]].)

In ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', Fire Flowers are seen in Luigi's minigames. In those that use cards, Fire Flowers are one of the images used. In [[Mushroom Roulette]], a Fire Flower is one of the symbols on the roulette wheel. In [[Mario Slot]] and [[Super Mario Slot]], matching three Fire Flowers multiplies the player's gambled coins by ten. In Wario's minigame [[Psyche Out!]], Fire Flowers also appear on cards. They also make a cameo appearance in [[Slots Shot]].

[[File:Fire Flower - New Super Mario Bros.png|thumb|A Fire Flower in ''New Super Mario Bros.'', which standardized their depiction]]

In ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', Fire Flowers are a very common item, and they act like they do in previous games, using their design from ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]''. [[Block]]s containing Super Mushrooms or Fire Flowers are much more common than in previous games. Mario can still only shoot two fireballs at once, but if an enemy that is not fireproof is hit by a fireball, it will produce a coin, similar to ''Super Mario World''. If Mario is [[Shell Mario]], Fire Flowers do not transform him into Fire Mario and instead be put as a [[item storage|Stored Item]]. The Fire Flower playing cards return in some of the Table minigames that originally appear in ''Super Mario 64 DS''. The minigame [[Picture Poker]] puts Fire Flowers at a tier higher than Mushrooms.

The Fire Flower reappears in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', retaining its properties from ''Super Mario Galaxy''. It makes its first appearance in a new minigame called [[Crate Burning]], which appears in only two missions in the entire game: "[[The Great Crate Incinerator]]" in the [[Rightside Down Galaxy]] and "[[Burning Upside Dizzy]]" in the [[Upside Dizzy Galaxy]]. In this minigame, the player is presented with numerous breakable [[crate]]s, all of which need to be burned within a short time limit via the use of a Fire Flower in order to earn the [[Power Star]] for the missions. Fire Flowers also appear in the [[Freezy Flake Galaxy]], the [[Slipsand Galaxy]] and the [[Battle Belt Galaxy]]. They appear when fighting [[Squizzard]] in the Slipsand Galaxy's first and third missions, and are necessary to defeat him.

[[File:Fire Flower Artwork - Super Mario 3D World.png|thumb|A Fire Flower in ''Super Mario 3D World'']]

The Fire Flower, parsed "'''fire flower'''", appears exclusively in the PC version of ''[[Mario is Missing! (PC)|Mario is Missing!]]''. They appear after [[Luigi]] has returned all artifacts in each city. He can then use the fire flower to burn the [[Koopalings|Koopa Kid]] and make it to the next floor of [[Bowser's Castle]].

 

In ''[[UNDAKE30 Same Game]]'', Fire Flowers appear as one of the icons on the playing field. They use their ''Super Mario World'' design.

In ''The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!'', when a character touches a Fire Flower, they sometimes first gain a temporary increase in size, then gain their fire powers as well as flight and/or extra speed and strength sometimes; they are called their Super forms in this show. The following shows use the same powers and form name as in the respective games. The Fire Flower first appears in the episode "[[The Bird! The Bird!]]", where Mario uses it to melt the snow trapping him.

In ''Super Mario World'', Fire Flowers look like realistic orange tulips with no eyes that are always connected to a ? Block. They sometimes spit out fireballs themselves. Mario is the only character in the show to be seen using Fire Flowers. The power-up first appears in "[[The Wheel Thing]]", where he uses it to burn some holes into some wheels.

[[File:MKW-GreenFuel.png|thumb|left|100px|A sponsor poster with a Fire Flower on it]]

The Fire Flower item returns in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', and it works similarly to how it did in ''Mario Kart 7'', with the difference being one can throw more than 3 fireballs at one time. A meter is added to indicate players how much time is left until the Fire Flower's effects disappear. Additionally, the statue of [[Princess Peach]] in [[Toad Harbor]] can be seen holding a Fire Flower in its lowered right hand. A flower patch with a Fire Flower design can also be found in the background of {{classic-link|GCN|Baby Park}}. In {{classic-link|Wii|Coconut Mall}} from the ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]]'', there is a shop named "Fire Flower Curry House".

The Fire Flower is a one-use item in ''[[Paper Mario]]''. It uses the design from ''Super Mario World'', but with a yellow face with open eyes in the middle. It can be found in shops, enemy item drops (such as from [[Piranha Plant]]s), and item blocks. Rather than transforming Mario, Mario plants the Fire Flower, and the Fire Flower emits fire that burns opponents. If used against ice enemies, it deals an extra 2 damage points, whereas it replenishes the health of fire enemies such as the [[Lava Bubble]] and [[Ember]]. These items can be purchased in many [[shop]]s, such as in the [[Shroom Grocery]] from [[Toad Town]], [[Koopa's Shop]] from [[Koopa Village]], and [[Yoshi's Cabana]] from [[Lavalava Island]].

In  ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', Fire Flowers reuse their design from the previous game. They can be purchased in [[Toad Bros. Bazaar]] from [[Rogueport]], [[Niff T.'s shop]] from [[Petalburg]], and [[Keelhaul Galleria]] from [[Keelhaul Key]]. If the Fire Flower is used against ice enemies, it deals an extra damage point. Fire Flowers can be also used as ingredients to be made into new items with a help of Tayce T. or [[Zess T.]] Recipes can be found below.

''<font color=blue>Repeatedly press the button</font color> of the bro holding the {{color|blue|bigger fireball}}. The sizes of the fireballs will change from time to time. Whenever the sizes of the fireballs change, the thrower will also switch. Throw lots of fireballs to go into a bonus mode. Just keep mashing {{button|3ds|A}} and {{button|3ds|B}}!''

In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', Fire Flowers are referred to as '''Bro Flowers''' and use the design from ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]''. They are one of the [[Bros. Item]]s. If used, the player attacks all the enemies with a certain amount of fireballs by constantly pressing the {{button|ds|A}} button if the big fireball is passed on to Mario or the {{button|ds|B}} button if it is passed on to Luigi. The player can press the {{button|ds|X}} button (if passed to Mario) or the {{button|ds|Y}} button (if passed to Luigi) to make their baby counterparts shoot fireballs, which damage airborne enemies. In addition, the attack may [[burn]] their foes. Three new flower items appear in the game: the [[Mix Flower]], [[Ice Flower]], and [[Copy Flower]]. Ice Flowers damage enemies like Fire Flowers do, though Fire Flowers burn them, while Ice Flowers randomly decrease their stats, such as attack, defense, and speed. Bro Flowers never deal more than one damage to [[Elasto-Piranha]]s, [[Dark Boo]]s, red [[Wonder Thwack]]s, or enemies with 999 DEF, such as [[Gold Koopeleon]].

The Fire Flower returns as Luigi's second available Bros. Attack in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]'', costing 5 BP (3 if Casual Bros is equipped). Its Attack Pieces are found in [[Dozing Sands]]. It can hit any enemy on the ground and airborne enemy, and may inflict the Burn status. Damage is inflicted only after the attack ends, and thus it is impossible for enemies to be defeated during the attack.

===''Mario Hoops 3-on-3'' / ''Mario Sports Mix''===

A Fire Flower is the icon used for the [[Flower Tourney]] in ''[[Mario Hoops 3-on-3]]'' and ''[[Mario Sports Mix]]''.

In ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis]]'', Fire Flowers are introduced in [[Tropical Island]]. When a [[Mini]] touches a Fire Flower, it turns into its [[Fire Mario|fire form]] for a limited time; for example, a Mini Mario that touches a Fire Flower turns into Fire Mini Mario and begins throwing fireballs within a limited time to defeat and temporarily stun enemies. Fire Flowers can be obtained from a ? Block if a Mini hits the ? Block from below.

In ''[[Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition]]'', Fire Flowers are used in the place of the Fire Element tiles. Fire Flowers are also used as [[Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition#Transformation items|transformation items]] to turn various teammates into their stronger forms, allowing them to use stronger versions of their Skills, such as transforming [[Bullet Bill]] into [[Bomber Bill|Banzai Bill]].

Fire Flowers appear in a scene in ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]'', where Peach transforms into Fire Peach after touching one of them. During his battle with [[Donkey Kong]], [[Mario]] manages to get one from a [[? Block]], but Donkey Kong extinguishes it before he can use it. Donkey Kong also transforms into Fire Donkey Kong after touching one that appeared out of a ? Block that was kicked to him by Mario.<ref>{{cite|author=Illumination|date=March 9, 2023|url=youtu.be/RjNcTBXTk4I|title=The Super Mario Bros. Movie {{!}} Final Trailer|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=March 10, 2023}}</ref>

The Fire Flower is available as a [[nookipedia:Furniture|furniture item]] in every mainline ''[[nookipedia:Animal Crossing (series)|Animal Crossing]]'' game, usually taking on a depiction based on its sprite from ''Super Mario Bros.'' In ''[[nookipedia:Animal Crossing: New Leaf|Animal Crossing: New Leaf]]'' and ''[[nookipedia:Animal Crossing: New Horizons|Animal Crossing: New Horizons]]'', the Fire Flower, along with all other ''Super Mario''-based items, are given their current appearances.

A Fire Flower appears in an {{wp|E3 2014}} sketch by the producers of ''{{wp|Robot Chicken}}'', where [[Reggie Fils-Aimé]] uses it to [[Fire Mario|transform]] and set an indignant fan asking for ''{{iw|wikibound|Mother 3}}'' on fire.

Fire Flowers also appear in the [[Wii U]] version of ''[[nwiki:Scribblenauts Unlimited|Scribblenauts Unlimited]]'' where they can be created using Maxwell's notebook. They can be given to Mario and Luigi to turn them into  their respective Fire forms.
