Fireball Boys[1] are Fire children[2] 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, Fireball Boys are based on Japanese folklore, in this instance hitodama, which are lost souls that appear as a ball of fire at night.

何だこの火の玉小増?
ちょっと形は変わっているが、れっきとしたファイア族のF・ボーイ。歴代のファイアと同じく倒すことができないので、さわらない方が無難。あまり近寄らないでね。[3]

What is this small increase in fireballs?
He is an F-Boy of the Fire tribe, although he has a slightly different shape. As with all Fires of the past, they cannot be defeated, so it is safer not to touch them. Don't get too close.
