Green Fireballs first appear as obstacles in ''[[Mario Bros. (game)|Mario Bros.]]'', The green fireballs move horizontally from one side of the screen to the other where it will disappear until respawning elsewhere. It has a pattern of two small wavy bounces and one long bounce. Typically, the green fireballs spawn on a row where a player is located. To destroy green fireballs, the player has to bump them from below while they are touching the platform, or use a [[POW Block]]. Only two green fireballs can spawn on the screen at once.
In the Atari 2600, Atari 5200, Amstrad CPC, and other ports of Mario Bros., the green types are absent.
In the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] port of the game, green fireballs are significantly smaller, making them easier to avoid.
In the ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'' version of the Battle mode, the green fireballs are replaced with [[Boos]], though both types appear red in the 2 player mode.

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. It always scores if it is shot inside the 3-Point line. When shot outside the 3-Point line, a teammate must complete the move, and it is not guaranteed the shot scores. It functions exactly like Mario's Fire Shot dunk however, Luigi's fire is green and he, of course, dribbles out an "L" instead of an "M".

Variant of Fireball

A Green Fireball is a projectile used by Luigi in some games, based on Mario's fireballs.

History

Super Smash Bros. series

Super Smash Bros.

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.

Super Smash Bros. Melee

Green fireballs reappear as Luigi's standard special move and when Kirby copies his ability in Super Smash Bros. Melee. Metal Luigi can also use green fireballs during his boss fight alongside Metal Mario.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

R.O.B. uses his Arm Rotor move in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
Luigi's Fireball in Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Green Fireballs reappear in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, where False Luigi in the Great Maze can also use them.

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U

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 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.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Green Fireballs return in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, where Dharkon's Luigi clone can also use them in its boss battle in the World of Light.

Green fireballs appear in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, as Luigi's 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, 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.
