'''Sparks''' are orb-shaped creatures who continually emit pulses and flashes of electricity. They are mostly found crawling around walls and ceilings and moving across wires. Sparks are the first in a series of enemies in the [[Mario (franchise)|''Mario'' franchise]] that are balls of electricity, including [[Li'l Sparky|Li'l Sparkies]] and [[Amp]]s.

====''Donkey Kong Jr.''====
Sparks first appear in [[Stage 3 (Donkey Kong Jr.)|Stage 3]] of ''[[Donkey Kong Jr. (game)|Donkey Kong Jr.]]'' Yellow Sparks (also known as '''Globes'''<ref>Instruction manual for Atari 8-bit and Atari 7800 conversions</ref>) continue to circle their own platform, but blue ones can travel to other platforms through static particles. These Sparks are generated by [[Mario]] in order to shock [[Donkey Kong Jr.]], preventing him from saving [[Donkey Kong|his father]]. Sparks are the rarest enemies in the game, only appearing in one stage (Stage 3), while the other enemies all appear in two stages.

Sparks first appear in [[Mario's Hideout]] of ''[[Donkey Kong Jr. (game)|Donkey Kong Jr.]]'' Red Sparks (also known as '''Globes'''<ref name=int/>{{ref page|7}}) continue to circle their own platform, but blue ones can travel to other platforms through static particles. These Sparks are generated by [[Mario]] in order to shock [[Donkey Kong Jr.]], preventing him from saving [[Donkey Kong|his father]]. Blue Sparks do not appear in the Coleco Adam port, which alters the stage layout and replaces them with hazardous green water [[drop]]s instead.

It has the same behavior as the [[Sniper]] and [[Sukōpī]] seen earlier in the game, except losing a life from the Spark displays an electrocution animation. Unlike other appearances, the Spark in this game lacks eyes. This game also introduces a more common [[Wire Trap|wire-crossing successor]].

[[File:SparkSMB2.gif|thumb|left]]

[[File:Spark.gif|thumb]]
Sparks appear in ''[[Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', usually underground or in buildings. Sparks circle platforms, though some can hover in the air if a [[Mushroom Block]] is pulled out from beneath them. Sparks cannot be jumped on and damage the player character when touched. A Spark is defeated if either hit by an object or from a [[POW Block]] being used nearby. A Spark is defeated automatically if the screen scrolls while they are in a specific position.<ref>{{cite|author=Small Mario Findings|url=64.media.tumblr.com/762f152f9bbcf81a0ced7fbf750b32dc/5f0b4fcbe4b4d7b1-97/s400x600/345f3f01430927dc8b63d0ce2976959fc0f44bfe.gifv|title=Video|publisher=Tumblr|language=en|accessdate=July 4, 2024}}</ref> In original versions, Sparks have red outlines around their eyes; in the ''Super Mario All-Stars'' version and other subsequent remakes, they have yellow outlines as well as an orange outer body outline. In the [[Super Mario Advance|remake]], touching a Spark knocks the player back as the screen briefly pixelates, and an item named the [[Spark Chaser]] can expel them from [[jar]] interiors.
Sparks also appear in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' as uncommon enemies, usually encountered underground or in buildings. They circle platforms, though some can hover in the air if a [[Mushroom Block]] is pulled out from beneath them. Sparks can be defeated by throwing an object at them or using a [[POW Block]] near them. Sparks can't be jumped on and can hurt the player's character by simply touching them. In the NES version, Sparks have red outlines around their eyes; in the SNES version and other subsequent remakes, they have yellow outlines as well as an orange outer body outline.
 
===''The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!''===
[[File:SparkCartoon.jpg|thumb||left|A Spark from ''The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!'']]
{{quote|Spark on the warpath!|[[Mario]]|"[[On Her Majesty's Sewer Service]]"}}
A Spark only appears in the episode "[[On Her Majesty's Sewer Service]]" in ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'' It does not discharge any electricity. The Spark is encountered by Mario and [[Luigi]] in the [[Tunnel of Doom]] as they run from a [[Goomba]]. Both are avoided when Mario and Luigi create a grappling hook out of a super spy hose nozzle and mini plunger; apparently unable to stop moving, the Spark and Goomba subsequently crash into one another, causing an explosion.
{{br|left}}


Sparks changed slightly in ''[[Super Mario Advance]]''. If the player is hit by one, they would be knocked back and the screen would flash. In addition, an item called the [[Spark Chaser]] can be used to expel them from new [[jar]] interiors.
===''Nintendo Comics System''===
[[File:SparkComic.JPG|thumb|Three Sparks from "Bedtime for Drain-Head"]]
Sparks appear prominently in issues of ''[[Nintendo Comics System]]'', appearing in such stories as "[[The Legend]]," "[[Bedtime for Drain-Head]]," and "[[A Mouser in the Houser]]." Like most enemies featured in the stories, they are shown to be intelligent and fully capable of speech.


===''Super Mario Bros. Super Show!''===
===''Yoshi's Island'' series===
[[File:SparkCartoon.jpg|thumb||left|A Spark from ''The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!'']]  
====''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' / ''Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3''====
A Spark makes only one appearance on ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'', in the episode "[[On Her Majesty's Sewer Service]]". Having been dumped into the [[Tunnel of Doom]], Mario and [[Luigi]], while running from a [[Goomba]], encounter a Spark that is quickly approaching. Mario and Luigi manage to avoid this Spark and the Goomba by creating a grappling hook out of a super spy hose nozzle and mini plunger; apparently unable to stop moving, the Spark and Goomba subsequently crash into one another, causing an explosion. In this appearance, the Spark featured does not appear to radiate any electricity.
[[File:PiroGreen.png|thumb|left|A Piro Dangle without fire in ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'']]
Sparks are referred to as '''Piro Dangles'''<ref name=guide>{{cite|language=en-us|publisher=Nintendo of America|date=1995|author=Miller, Kent, and Terry Munson|title=''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' Player's Guide|page={{file link|SMW2 Guide 128.jpg|128}}}}</ref> in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' and its [[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3|remake]]. They emit fire instead of electricity and have faces similar to that of [[Fryguy]]. Occasionally, their fire temporarily goes out, revealing that underneath they are white spheres. During this time, they are harmless. Piro Dangles can be found only in a secret room in [[Burt The Bashful's Fort]], as well as in [[Endless World of Yoshis]] in the remake, where they can also be defeated from a [[ice watermelon|blue watermelon]]. There is also an [[List of Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island pre-release and unused content|unused]] variant of [[Boo Blah]] that has a Piro Dangle on its head.
 
====''Yoshi's New Island''====
In ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]'', Sparks maintain their appearance and behavior from ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'', and appear only within dark rooms in [[Beware the Boo Brigade]] and [[Fort Key Calamity]].
 
===''The Legend of Zelda'' series===
{{main-wiki|ZeldaWiki|Spark|Zelda Wiki}}
Sparks appear with the same wall-running behavior in multiple games in [[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda (Series)|The ''Legend of Zelda'' series]]. In ''{{iw|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past}}'', Sparks flash between orange and blue and are completely invincible, appearing in a few dungeons. In this game, they also share the same graphics as the segmented [[Fire Bar|fire bar]]s and {{iw|zeldawiki|Winder|Fire Snake}}s, which stay orange. Sparks are more common in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening]]'', ''{{iw|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons}}''/''{{iw|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages|Ages}}'', and ''{{iw|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap}}'', and can be destroyed with the {{iw|zeldawiki|boomerang}}, which turns them into {{iw|zeldawiki|fairy|fairies}}.

Sparks are orb-shaped creatures that emit pulses and flashes of electricity continually. They are mostly found crawling around walls and ceilings and moving across wires. Sparks are the first in a series of enemies in the Super Mario franchise that are balls of electricity, including Li'l Sparkies and Amps.

History[edit]

Donkey Kong series[edit]

Donkey Kong Jr.[edit]

Sprite of a Spark from Donkey Kong Jr.

Sparks first appear in Mario's Hideout of Donkey Kong Jr. Red Sparks (also known as Globes[1]:7) continue to circle their own platform, but blue ones can travel to other platforms through static particles. These Sparks are generated by Mario in order to shock Donkey Kong Jr., preventing him from saving his father. Blue Sparks do not appear in the Coleco Adam port, which alters the stage layout and replaces them with hazardous green water drops instead.

Donkey Kong (Game Boy)[edit]

Spark

In the Game Boy version of Donkey Kong, only one Spark[2] appears in Stage 6-4, rotating clockwise at a medium pace around a small platform in the path of a Conveyor Belt. It has the same behavior as the Sniper and Sukōpī seen earlier in the game, except losing a life from the Spark displays an electrocution animation. Unlike other appearances, the Spark in this game lacks eyes. This game also introduces a more common wire-crossing successor.

Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic / Super Mario Bros. 2[edit]

Sparks appear in Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic and Super Mario Bros. 2, usually underground or in buildings. Sparks circle platforms, though some can hover in the air if a Mushroom Block is pulled out from beneath them. Sparks cannot be jumped on and damage the player character when touched. A Spark is defeated if either hit by an object or from a POW Block being used nearby. A Spark is defeated automatically if the screen scrolls while they are in a specific position.[3] In original versions, Sparks have red outlines around their eyes; in the Super Mario All-Stars version and other subsequent remakes, they have yellow outlines as well as an orange outer body outline. In the remake, touching a Spark knocks the player back as the screen briefly pixelates, and an item named the Spark Chaser can expel them from jar interiors.

The Super Mario Bros. Super Show![edit]

“Spark on the warpath!”
—Mario, "On Her Majesty's Sewer Service"

A Spark only appears in the episode "On Her Majesty's Sewer Service" in The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! It does not discharge any electricity. The Spark is encountered by Mario and Luigi in the Tunnel of Doom as they run from a Goomba. Both are avoided when Mario and Luigi create a grappling hook out of a super spy hose nozzle and mini plunger; apparently unable to stop moving, the Spark and Goomba subsequently crash into one another, causing an explosion.

Nintendo Comics System[edit]

Three Spark
Three Sparks from "Bedtime for Drain-Head"

Sparks appear prominently in issues of Nintendo Comics System, appearing in such stories as "The Legend," "Bedtime for Drain-Head," and "A Mouser in the Houser." Like most enemies featured in the stories, they are shown to be intelligent and fully capable of speech.

Yoshi's Island series[edit]

Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island / Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3[edit]

Piro Dangles with no flames in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island
A Piro Dangle without fire in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island

Sparks are referred to as Piro Dangles[4] in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island and its remake. They emit fire instead of electricity and have faces similar to that of Fryguy. Occasionally, their fire temporarily goes out, revealing that underneath they are white spheres. During this time, they are harmless. Piro Dangles can be found only in a secret room in Burt The Bashful's Fort, as well as in Endless World of Yoshis in the remake, where they can also be defeated from a blue watermelon. There is also an unused variant of Boo Blah that has a Piro Dangle on its head.

Yoshi's New Island[edit]

In Yoshi's New Island, Sparks maintain their appearance and behavior from Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, and appear only within dark rooms in Beware the Boo Brigade and Fort Key Calamity.

The Legend of Zelda series[edit]

Zelda Wiki article: Spark

Sparks appear with the same wall-running behavior in multiple games in The Legend of Zelda series. In The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, Sparks flash between orange and blue and are completely invincible, appearing in a few dungeons. In this game, they also share the same graphics as the segmented fire bars and Fire Snakes, which stay orange. Sparks are more common in The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening, The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons/Ages, and The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap, and can be destroyed with the boomerang, which turns them into fairies.

A lump of electricity that emits sparks

In JR, they are running around on the floor, so you have to run past them at once when you see a chance; in GB, they are moving over the ropes, so avoid them at all costs. In both cases, you will be electrocuted if you touch them.
