Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time
In the Nintendo DS game Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, Fire Flowers are referred to as Bros. Flowers. If used, the player would attack all the enemies with a certain amount of fireballs by constantly pressing the A button if it is passed on to Mario, the B button if it is passed on to Luigi, the X button if it is passed on to Baby Mario, and the Y button if it is passed on to Baby Luigi In addition, the damage may cause burning towards their foes. There are two related items in the game, the Mix Flower and the Ice Flower.
New Super Mario Bros.
In New Super Mario Bros., Fire Flowers could be considered stronger, or weaker. A large amount of enemies are immune to fire, but all but one of the bosses can be defeated using fire. Otherwise, they act as they do in previous games. Blocks containing Super Mushrooms or Fire Flowers are much more common than previous games.
Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis
In the Nintendo DS game Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis, when a Mini-Mario touches a Fire Flower, he would go in his Fire Mini-Mario form and begins throwing fireballs within a limited time to knock out enemies or defeat them. These items can be obtained from a ? Block during those levels.
Super Mario Galaxy
In the Wii game Super Mario Galaxy, when Mario or Luigi obtains this item, he will go into his fire form allowing him to throw fireballs and can defeat enemies and light torches. Unlike other games where the powerup lasts until the player takes damage, the powerup only lasts a limited amount of time although Mario can take damage with this form. Like the Super Smash Bros. Brawl figure, it takes the appearance of the New Super Mario Bros. version.
Super Smash Bros. series
The Super Smash Bros. series has Fire Flowers as well. Once picked up, the player could use it to expel fire, hurting anyone who came too close. It does have a limit to how much fire it can use, and will lose its abilities after constant use. However, this doesn't mean it is worthless. The player could throw the Fire Flower at someone to burn them. Fire Flowers return in Super Smash Bros Brawl, with their appearance from New Super Mario Bros.
Appearance in Other Media
The Club Nintendo comic "Super Mario: Verloren in der Zeit" reveals that Fire Flowers have existed since the Stone Age. In this story, Mario uses a Fire Flower to throw Fireballs at a Tyrannosaurus rex.
Also, Fire Flowers appeared in all 3 Mario cartoon television series. In the cartoons, they are portrayed as blue daisies. When Mario or Luigi touches one, they gain their fire powers, although most episodes had their Fire Mario costume either be not changed at all, or an orange hat and shirt with red overalls. In Reign Storm, the Robot Princess orders all Fire Flowers to be extinguished, as if they were actual fires.
Trophy Information from Super Smash Bros. Melee
Once you grab this item, press and hold down the A Button to make the flower breathe flames until its power gives out. The Fire Flower is incredibly useful when you want to push someone off the edge of a stage. In Super Mario Bros., it transformed Mario into Fire Mario, changing his garb and enabling him to throw fireballs.
Trophy Information from Super Smash Bros. Brawl
A flower that breathes flames when you press and hold the attack button. The flames don't last forever, though--after a while, the flower will lose its fiery power. You can also throw Fire Flowers at enemies to set them on fire for a brief moment. In Super Mario Bros., Fire Flowers were used to transform Mario into Fire Mario.

Trivia
- In a similar manner to how Mario and Luigi have both eaten and "absorbed" Mushrooms throughout their games, there is much controversy over whether Mario must eat a Fire Flower or simply touch it to become Fire Mario. Although most games make Fire Flowers simply disappear upon contact with Mario, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door seemingly confirms that Mario does indeed eat Fire Flowers. This is also indicated by a certain optional scene where Mario informs a Lakitu cameraman that he "shoots fire when he eats a flower". In the Club Nintendo comic "Super Mario: Verloren in der Zeit" Mario even reveals something about their taste, claiming that Fire Flowers "taste disgusting, but if I eat them, I can shoot Fireballs".
- Enemies called Fire Bros. spit Fireballs similar to the Fire Flower's fireballs.
- In the Super Mario World cartoons they are attached to ? Blocks
- A similar power-up is the Flower from Super Mario Land, which allows Mario to turn into Superball Mario.
- Super Smash Bros. Brawl is the only Super Smash Bros. game where this item appears as it does in recent artwork.
