'''Fireball Mario''' is an original transformation that only appears in the ''[[Super Mario World]]'' story arc in ''[[Super Mario-kun]]''. It is a substitute for [[Fire Mario]] since, in the first period of the manga, [[Mario]] is always capable of throwing [[fireball]]s.
==History==
===''Super Mario-kun''===
The transformation first appears in chapter 5 of the [[Super Mario-kun Volume 1|first volume]]: running away from [[Porcupuffer|Porcu-Puffer]], [[Yoshi]] lays an egg with many [[Fire Flower]]s inside. The Fire Flowers latches themselves to Mario and give him a fire aura that he uses to defeat the Porcu-Puffer with a [[Fireball Punch]]. Mario then grabs Yoshi and [[Luigi]] and leaves the level, passing through a [[Keyhole]], but being still fiery, Mario burns his friends. After they escape, the transformation vanishes.

In chapter 12 of [[Super Mario-kun Volume 2|volume 2]], while Mario is fighting a [[torpedo tube]]'s hand, Yoshi tosses a [[? Block]] full of Fire Flowers at him, turning him into Fireball Mario and allowing him to win.

In chapter 7 of [[Super Mario-kun Volume 5|volume 5]], to defeat some [[Beanstalk|vine]]s, Mario reaches for the Fire Flower reserve in his pocket, becomes Fireball Mario, and burns the vines. During the process, he ends up burning Luigi, Yoshi, and himself as well.

Fireball Mario's last appearance is in two chapters of [[Super Mario-kun Volume 6|volume 6]]. In chapter 7, while traversing [[Gnarly]], the vines attack the trio. Mario is tossed against a ? Block from which a vine, with Fire Flowers instead of leaves, sprouts. Grabbing the Fire Flowers, Mario uses the fire aura to kill the evil vines, burning his tangled friends once again. In chapter 12 of the same volume, while Mario and [[Bowser]] are fighting in a [[Battle Mode#Balloon Battle|Balloon Battle]], Mario bursts Bowser's first balloon, which releases multiple [[Monty Mole]]s. While distracted by the Monty Moles, two of Mario's balloons are popped, so he uses a Fire Flower to gain the fire aura and defeats the Monty Moles. However, in this occasion, Mario calls the transformation "Fire Mario" (ファイアマリオ).

In chapter 6 of [[Super Mario-kun Volume 7|volume 7]], [[Carrot]] passes a Fire Flower to Mario to help him free himself from the [[octopus (boss)|octopus]]'s tentacles, burning him with the fire aura. This time, Mario gets burned by his aura, though in a different manner from last time.
