| A '''Green Fireball''' is a projectile used by [[Luigi]] in some games, based on [[Mario]]'s [[fireball]]s. | | A '''Green Fireball''' is [[Luigi]]'s trademark weapon in most Spin-Off games. It is identical to [[Mario]]'s trademarked [[Fireball]], except the fireballs are green instead of the usual red. Although Luigi has used this in many games, it seems that the ability might be replaced by electricty, or plasma, as seen in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' and ''[[Mario Strikers Charged]]''. |

| Green fireballs are first attributed to Luigi in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', appearing as his standard special move. The move is called '''Fireball''', the same name as Mario's move, but it floats while drifting around in a circle, rather than bouncing. [[Kirby]] can use green fireballs if he copies Luigi's ability.
| | Green Fireballs made their debut in the ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' series as Luigi's special move. Although the move was called Fireball, the same name as Mario's move, it differed slightly in both appearance and effect. Luigi's fireballs were green, matching his choice of clothing, and the fireballs were not effected by gravity. This means the fireball will always go straight, and won't bounce on the ground. It also does slightly more damage. However, other than that, nothing else was changed. [[Kirby]] can use Green Fireballs when he sucks up Luigi. |

| ====''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U''====
| | In ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U]]'', the green fireballs can be altered into either '''Fast Fireball''' or [[Ice Ball]], provided that they are unlocked first. Fast Fireball behaves like Mario's standard Fireball, while Ice Ball has a chance of freezing opponents. |

| |
| Green Fireballs return in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', where they can be altered into either '''Bouncing Fireball''' or '''[[Ice Ball|Iceball]]''' via custom moves, provided that they are unlocked first. Bouncing Fireball is affected by gravity with each successive bounce decaying in height, much like Mario's Fireball, although Luigi takes more time to fire it. In comparison, Iceball has a chance of freezing opponents and has longer range, but deals slightly less damage and travels slower. When Kirby copies Luigi, he will always remains with Luigi's default standard special, even if Luigi has a set custom move.

| | |
| As [[Master Shadow]] can copy characters and their abilities, he can also copy Luigi to shoot Green Fireballs as well.

| | Green Fireballs appeared in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'', as Luigi's special item, and can only be used by him. It works the exact same way as Mario's Fireball item. When Luigi uses the item, either forward or backwards, he will throw five green fireballs across the course, which will ricochet off walls. It will burn any player it hits, which will daze them for a small while. However, the move can ricochet back at Luigi, dazing him as well. The fireballs split apart the farther they go, making it less accurate, so it is best used when close up. |

| |
| Green fireballs appear in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'', as Luigi's [[Special Item (Mario Kart series)|Special item]] and can be used only by him; not even [[Petey Piranha]] or [[King Boo]] can use it. It works similarly to Mario's Fireball item. When Luigi throws it either forward or backward, the green fireball splits into five that bounce around the course and may ricochet off walls. When they hit any kart, including Luigi and his teammate's kart, the kart will spin out and the rear player is burned and momentarily stunned. If a green fireball hits a racer under the effects of a [[Heart (item)|heart]], the icon for the green fireball received is of a red fireball. The green fireball is also one of the only two Special Items that [[Petey Piranha]] and [[King Boo]] cannot get, the other being [[Birdo's Egg]]. | |
|
| |
|
| As well as having the special item, Luigi has a personal kart, the [[Green Fire]], which is unlocked once players beat Mushroom Cup on 50cc.
| | This is not to be confused with the [[Green Fire]], Luigi's kart in the same game. |

| The Green Fireball, again simply known as the Fireball, is Luigi's [[Star Skill]] in ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]''. When pitched with, the Green Fireball surrounds the ball with green fire and throws it as a fastball with very high velocity and little movement. Compared to Mario's equivalent Fireball pitch, it has slightly lower velocity and greater movement, matching Luigi's specialties as a pitcher. When batted with, the Green Fireball also surrounds the ball with green fire, hitting it as a ground ball to the infield. Players who attempt to catch the ball while it is lit are burned, stunning them for a short time.
| | A Green Fireball appeared in ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]'', as Luigi's [[Power Shot]]. When used while Pitching, he will cover the ball in green fire, and toss it towards the batter at incredible speeds. This makes it hard to hit the ball, as it can easily zoom right past the batter. When used while Batting, Luigi will cover it with green fire when he hits it, and it will zoom past the field at incredible speeds. If someone catches it before it lands, they will catch fire and drop the ball. If it lands, it will lose its fire, and can be picked up safely. In both ways of using the move, it works exactly the same as Mario's [[Fireball]] special move. In Challenge Mode, Luigi will only be able to use this when the item, aptly named Green Fireball, has been bought. |
| | |
| In Challenge Mode with Mario, the player must purchase the Green Fireball item in order to enable the use of this ability for Luigi. | |

| ===''Super Mario Strikers''===
| |
| Green fireballs are used in ''[[Super Mario Strikers]]''. When Luigi or Yoshi uses their [[Super Strike]], the [[Soccer Ball|ball]] will be encased in a green fireball while launching at the goal.

| A Green Fireball is used in ''[[Mario Hoops 3-on-3]]'', as Luigi's Special Shot known as the [[Green Fire Shot]], identical to Mario's [[Fire Shot]]. When the player taps out the letter L on the touch screen, Luigi starts charging the ball with green fire. If he is not hit while charging it, he launches the ball to the basket. | | A Green Fireball is used in ''[[Mario Hoops 3-on-3]]'', as Luigi's [[Green Fire Shot|Special Shot]]. When the player taps out the letter L on the touch screen, Luigi will start charging the ball with green fire. If he is not hit while charging it, he will leap up into the air, hold the now fiery ball in his hand, and launch it to the basket. It will always get in the basket if it is shot inside the 3-Point line. When shot outside the 3-Point line, he will throw it, but someone else has to dunk it for him. The move is an exact copy of Mario's [[Fire Shot]]. |

| ===''Mario Sports Superstars''===
| |
| A Green Fireball appears in ''[[Mario Sports Superstars]]'', as Luigi's special shot in baseball and soccer. When using his special shot, the ball is encased in a Green Fireball. [[Baby Luigi]] also uses a Green Fireball as his special shot in soccer only. In baseball, players who attempt to catch the ball in while it is lit are burned, stunning them for a short time.
