'''Hotheads''' are large balls of sparking energy that first appear in ''[[Super Mario World]]''. Hotheads travel slowly on platforms.
 
==History==
===''Super Mario'' series===
====''Super Mario World''====
Hotheads first appear in ''[[Super Mario World]]''. They slowly move around platforms and can be defeated by [[Invincible Mario]] or [[Cape Mario|Caped Mario]]'s Body Press. They are found in [[6 Wendy's Castle|#6 Wendy's Castle]] and [[Front Door]], specifically in rooms with [[Lil Sparky|Lil Sparkies]].

====''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3''====
Hotheads are enemies in the [[World-e]] expansion of ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. They are encountered in [[A Sky-High Adventure]] and [[Puzzling Pipe Maze]]. Hotheads can be defeated by [[Statue Mario]] or from [[hammer]]s thrown by [[Hammer Mario]].
 
====''Super Mario Bros. Wonder''====
[[File:Hothead SMBW.png|thumb|A Hothead in ''Super Mario Bros. Wonder'']]
Hotheads reappear in ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]'' alongside [[Lil Sparky|Lil Sparkies]]. Just like Lil Sparkies, they can be defeated by bumping blocks below them. Also as with Lil Sparkies, the player characters now visually appear electrocuted when they take damage from contact with Hotheads, similar to [[Amp]]s in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' and its sequels.
 
===''Super Princess Peach''===
Hotheads are enemies in ''[[Super Princess Peach]]''. They are based on their appearance in ''Super Mario World'', and are invincible to everything [[Princess Peach|Peach]] can do. They are found in [[Shriek Mansion]], [[Fury Volcano]], and [[Bowser's Villa]]. Unlike most other enemies, Hotheads were not given any [[vibe]]-based counterpart.

===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===
{{main-wiki|SmashWiki|Hothead}}
[[File:Hothead Brawl artwork.png|thumb|120px|left|Hothead's artwork in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', which gives it a more realistic design]]
Hotheads appear as an item in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' / ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U|Wii U]]'', and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. Like in ''Super Mario World'', they stick to the stage when thrown and burn anyone that touches it, and also release powerful sparks periodically when moving. It also grows larger if hit with fire and electric attacks, an ability it was never shown to have in the ''Super Mario'' franchise. Hotheads move quickly around the platform they are on, but can also just fall off entirely. In ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', a Hothead also appears as a support [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]], equipping the fighter with a Hothead at the start of battle when used.
 
Hothead's design in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' is more realistic-looking, but ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Wii U'' and ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' design it more similarly to its appearance in ''Super Mario World''.

'''Hotheads''' are large balls of sparking energy that are first encountered in the game ''[[Super Mario World]]''. They slowly move around platforms and don't pose much of a threat.  These creatures only appear in a few fortresses and castles. They can usually be found in areas with [[Li'l Sparky]]s, which are essentially smaller versions of Hotheads. The Hotheads reappeared in ''[[Super Princess Peach]]'', where they served the same purpose.

Hotheads have made another appearance in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' as an [[item]]. The Hotheads, just like in ''Super Mario World'', will stick to the stage when thrown and burn anyone that touches it. It will also grow larger if it's hit with attacks, maxing out at approximately 3 times its original diameter. Hotheads move quickly around the platform they are on, but may also just fall off entirely.
