Fireball Boys[1] are enemies in Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins. These Fire children[2] are encountered in Pumpkin Zone Level 2 only, where only two appear. They float erratically in the sky over certain sections of the stage. Fireball Boys are not aggressive, but will harm the player if they come into contact with them. They also cannot be defeated unless the player runs into them while invincible.

As with many other Pumpkin Zone enemies, Fireball Boys are based on Japanese folklore, in this instance hitodama, which are lost souls that appear as a ball of fire at night.
