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 indestructible mechanical object found in Super Mario 64 and its remake, Super Mario 64 DS. The appearance of a flamethrower varies depending on the level:

  • In all of the Bowser levels and Rainbow Ride, flamethrowers are stone and diamond-shaped.
  • In Big Boo's Haunt's merry-go-round, one of the Boo portraits acts as a flamethower.
  • In the Hazy Maze Cave, there are two fire plumes that come out of the pit before the Red Coin area, which act like flamethrowers.
  • In the main course of Lethal Lava Land, one appears near the volcano as a Black Brick. There are also fire plumes along the path of the moving platform that takes the player to the Power Star for Red-Hot Log Rolling. Inside the volcano, they appear as holes in the walls.
  • Rainbow Ride also has a blue flamethrower under the spinning platform next to the Rainbow Cruiser, and a fireplace that acts like a flamethrower in the Cloud House. The blue flamethrower does not return in Super Mario 64 DS.

About every three seconds, a flamethrower shoots a stream of fire from its center. If hit by the flames, the player's character will lose three health wedges and run around in a panic, making it difficult for the player to control him. If the character jumps repeatedly while he is on fire, his movement will be limited, and he may lose only two health wedges.

In Super Princess Peach, flamethrowers appear only in Fury Volcano as obstacles. Each periodically shoots out flames that block Princess Peach's path and damage her if she comes into contact. Flamethrowers also appear in the minigame Toad Tote.
