The title of this article is official, but it comes from a non-English source. If an acceptable English source is found, then the article should be moved to its appropriate title.
F Boys are floating Fires[1] that appear in Pumpkin Zone Level 2 in Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins. Only two of them are found in that area and float erratically in the sky over certain sections of the stage. They are not aggressive, but will harm the player if they come into contact with them. They also cannot be defeated unless the player runs into them while invincible.
As with many other Pumpkin Zone enemies, F Boys are based on Japanese folklore, in this instance hitodama, which are lost souls that appear as a ball of fire at night.
