They mainly appear in the Mario platformers but occasionally appear in the Mario Party sub-series. They first appeared in Super Mario Bros., as simple fire balls, that would jump out of the magma in simple patterns when Mario was in a castle. Like most enemies, they appeared again in Super Mario Bros. 3, and can now move in more directions then just up and down. They again appear in the Castle levels of Super Mario World, where they act the same as in their previous appearances. However, some will now be found outside the Lava at all times, bouncing around the Boss rooms. They again appeared in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga as obstacles in a pseudo-sidescrolling area in Bowser's Castle. They have since appeared in Super Princess Peach, New Super Mario Bros., and New Super Mario Bros. Wii. Most games, they were invincible only being destroyed by Starmen (most games), Hammer Suit (Super Mario Bros. 3), and/or Ice Suit (New Super Mario Bros. Wii).
