History
Super Smash Bros. series
- SmashWiki article: Green Fireball
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
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.
Mario Kart: Double Dash!!
Green fireballs are Luigi's Special item in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!. It works identically to Mario's Fireball item, and if Luigi throws the green fireball either forward or backward, it splits into five that bounce around the course and may ricochet off walls. If any team's kart is hit, they spin out, and the rear player is burned and momentarily stunned. If a green fireball hits a racer using a heart, the icon for the green fireball received is of a red fireball. The green fireball is one of two Special Items that Petey Piranha and King Boo cannot get, the other being Birdo's Egg, due to their similarities to regular Fireballs and Yoshi's Egg, respectively.
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.
Mario Superstar Baseball
The Green Fireball, again simply known as the Fireball, is Luigi's Star Skill in Mario Superstar Baseball. While pitching, the Green Fireball surrounds the ball with green fire and throws it as a fastball at high speed 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.
In Challenge mode, the Green Fireball is a separate item, and buying it is required for Luigi to use his Star Skill if he is on the player's team.
Super Mario Strikers
Green fireballs serve only as aesthetic in Super Mario Strikers, because when Luigi or Yoshi use their Super Strike, the ball becomes encased in a green fireball when launched at the goal.
Mario Hoops 3-on-3

A Green Fireball is used in Mario Hoops 3-on-3 during Luigi's Special Shot, the Green Fire Shot, identical to Mario's Fire Shot. When the move is initiated, Luigi charges the ball with green fire, and if Luigi is not hit while charging the move, he launches the ball to the basket.
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.
