A '''flame thrower'''<ref>{{cite|author=Pelland, Scott, and Dan Owsen|title=''Super Mario 64'' Player's Guide|page=114-115|date=1996|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us}}</ref> (or '''flame-thrower''')<ref>{{cite|date=August 1997|title=''Nintendo Magazine System'' (AU) Issue #53|page=44-45 and 48}}</ref> is an enemy found in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. Flame throwers are tiny black spheres that hover in place a tiny distance off the ground. In the [[Nintendo DS]] remake, they appear identical to [[Flame Chomp|Fire Chomps]] without the trail of fire behind them, and they fire at a much slower pace compared to them in the original game. They usually line the edges of pathways. Flame throwers are motionless and harmless until the player character passes by, in which case they expand to about twice their size and shoot a tiny [[fireball]] that chases him for a short period of time before snuffing out. If hit by the flame, the player runs around uncontrollably while steadily losing three [[Health Meter|health]] wedges, although they are still able to [[jump]]. In the Nintendo DS version, [[Yoshi]] is capable of spitting out fire if he ingests a flame thrower.

Flame throwers appear in the following [[level]]s: [[Hazy Maze Cave]]; [[Shifting Sand Land]]; [[Dire, Dire Docks]]; [[Wet-Dry World]]; [[Tiny-Huge Island]]; [[Tick Tock Clock]]; and [[Rainbow Ride]]. They also appear in [[The Secret Under the Moat|Vanish Cap Under the Moat]], [[Bowser in the Fire Sea]], and [[Bowser in the Sky]]. In ''Super Mario 64'', there are two flame throwers in the downtown area of Wet-Dry World that, due to an error in the level design, do not spit fire. Even at its shallowest point, the [[water]] level in the area is high enough that the two flame throwers are submerged, rendering them harmless. Through the use of a water-raising/lowering [[glitch]], the water can be lowered to an abnormal level, which activates them. These flame throwers were removed in ''Super Mario 64 DS''.


A '''Fire Spitter''' is an obstacle found solely in the game ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. They are tiny black spheres that hover in place a tiny distance off the ground. They usually line the edges of pathways. A Fire Spitter is pefectly motionless and harmless until Mario passes by. Then it expands to about twice its size and shoots a tiny fireball that chases [[Mario]] around. If hit by the flame, Mario will run around uncontrollably while steadily losing three life pieces. Fire Spitters cannot be destroyed by any means, but avoiding them is not particularly challenging.

A cool feature of Wet-Dry World is the ability to change the water level in the course using small diamond-shaped switches. There are two infamous Fire Spitters located in the [[Downtown]] area of Wet-Dry World; however, due to a mistake in the level design, they are useless. Even at its shallowest point, the water level in the area is high enough that the two Fire Spitters are submerged, rendering them completely harmless.

Variant of Flame Chomp

A flame thrower[1] (or flame-thrower)[2] is an enemy found in Super Mario 64 and Super Mario 64 DS. Flame throwers are tiny black spheres that hover in place a tiny distance off the ground. In the Nintendo DS remake, they appear identical to Fire Chomps without the trail of fire behind them, and they fire at a much slower pace compared to them in the original game. They usually line the edges of pathways. Flame throwers are motionless and harmless until the player character passes by, in which case they expand to about twice their size and shoot a tiny fireball that chases him for a short period of time before snuffing out. If hit by the flame, the player runs around uncontrollably while steadily losing three health wedges, although they are still able to jump. In the Nintendo DS version, Yoshi is capable of spitting out fire if he ingests a flame thrower.

Flame throwers appear in the following levels: Hazy Maze Cave; Shifting Sand Land; Dire, Dire Docks; Wet-Dry World; Tiny-Huge Island; Tick Tock Clock; and Rainbow Ride. They also appear in Vanish Cap Under the Moat, Bowser in the Fire Sea, and Bowser in the Sky. In Super Mario 64, there are two flame throwers in the downtown area of Wet-Dry World that, due to an error in the level design, do not spit fire. Even at its shallowest point, the water level in the area is high enough that the two flame throwers are submerged, rendering them harmless. Through the use of a water-raising/lowering glitch, the water can be lowered to an abnormal level, which activates them. These flame throwers were removed in Super Mario 64 DS.
