(The Player's Guide reference to "flame thrower" was actually referring to Keronpa Ball, meaning that "flamethrower" is overall the most common sourced one here after all.)

"Flamethrower" redirects here. For the recurring obstacle also known as a flamethrower, see Burner. For Charizard's standard special move in the Super Smash Bros. series, see Charizard § Flamethrower.

A flamethrower[1][2] (alternatively spelled flame thrower),[3] also described with other generic terms such as fire jet[4] or flame spout,[5] is a mechanical, indestructible object found in Super Mario 64 and its remake. The appearance of a flamethrower varies depending on the level:

  • In all of the Bowser levels and Rainbow Ride, flamethrowers are stone and diamond-shaped.
  • In Big Boo's Haunt's merry-go-round, one of the Boo portraits acts as a flamethower.
  • In the Hazy Maze Cave, there are two fire plumes that come out of the pit before the Red Coin area, which act like flamethrowers.
  • In the main course of Lethal Lava Land, one appears near the volcano as a Black Brick. There are also fire plumes along the path of the moving platform that takes the player to the Power Star for Red-Hot Log Rolling. Inside the volcano, they appear as holes in the walls.
  • Also in Rainbow Ride, there is a blue flamethrower under the spinning platform next to the Rainbow Cruiser, and a fireplace that acts like a flamethrower in the Cloud House. The former is removed in the DS remake.

About every three seconds, a flamethrower shoots a stream of fire from its center. If hit by the flames, the player's character will lose three health wedges and run around in a panic, making it difficult for the player to control him. If the character jumps repeatedly while he is on fire, his movement will be limited, and he may lose only two health wedges.
