A flamethrower[1][2] (alternatively formatted as flame-thrower[3] or flame thrower[4]), also described with other generic terms such as "fire jet"[5][6] and "flame spout,"[7] is an obstacle first appearing in Super Mario 64. It unleashes a stream of fire every several seconds, burning the player character if it hits them.
History[edit]
Super Mario 64 / Super Mario 64 DS[edit]
Flamethrowers in Super Mario 64 and Super Mario 64 DS activate roughly every three seconds. If the player character is hit, he runs around, briefly on fire and loses three wedges of health (possibly lessened to two if he jumps while on fire). Most flamethrowers are diamond-shaped stones, like in Rainbow Ride and the Bowser stages, though in the original Super Mario 64 only, there is also a Rainbow Cruiser near the spinning platform in Rainbow Ride. A flamethrower also comes out of one of the Boo portraits in the merry-go-round area of Big Boo's Haunt. Hazy Maze Cave has a functional equivalent: fire plumes out of the pit before the open area with Red Coins. Lethal Lava Land also has lava plumes on the path leading to the Power Star of "Red-Hot Log Rolling," as well as flamethrowers embedded within the walls inside of the volcano as well as inside of a black brick near the volcano. The Cloud House of Rainbow Ride has a flamethrower that launches out of a fireplace.
Super Princess Peach[edit]
Flamethrowers return in Fury Volcano in Super Princess Peach as well as in the minigame Toad Tote. They work the same as in Super Mario 64 and harm Princess Peach on contact.
