There were two types of Fire Shooters in ''[[Super Mario 64]]''.
[[File:SMG Fire Cannon.png|thumb|left|Screenshot from ''Super Mario Galaxy'' of an activated Fire Shooter in the Deep Dark Galaxy]]
Fire Shooters are obstacles in ''Super Mario Galaxy''. Their nozzles shoot long-ranged flames at [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]]. Fire Shooters are first found in [[Bowser's Star Reactor]] and reappear in the [[Deep Dark Galaxy]] and [[Bubble Blast Galaxy]]. One larger [[fireball]]-shooting one appears on [[Mecha-Bowser#Super Mario Galaxy|Mecha-Bowser]] in the [[Toy Time Galaxy]], and two others appear on the [[Toy Time Galaxy#Undergrunt Gunner's Planet|Undergrunt Gunner Planet]] from the same [[galaxy]] aforementioned.


The first types were faceless, black, apparently metal orbs that shot homing fireblasts at [[Mario]]. They were among the many traps laid by [[Bowser]]. Others included bombs disguised as butterflies and some larger variations. These fireshooters were replaced by smaller versions of the [[Fire Chomp]] in the [[Super Mario 64 DS|DS remake]].

The second types were called [[Pyro Box|Pyro Boxes]], and they were often found in Bowser's levels. They were mounted in floating stones or walls (depending on where the player was). The fire that came out of this variant was shot faster and had longer range, making it difficult to evade.

Fire Shooters[1][2] are obstacles introduced in Super Mario Galaxy. They are similar to Water Shooters, but as their name suggests, they shoot fire instead of water. They resemble the nozzle part of FLUDD from Super Mario Sunshine, except in red. They are functionally similar to flamethrowers, which appear in Super Mario 64.
