Fire Flower
When Mario or Luigi obtains a Fire Flower, they transform into Fire Mario or Fire Luigi. In this form, they can shoot fireballs which can defeat many enemies. The Flower first appeared in Super Mario Bros., which could be found in an ? Block if you had already obtained a Super Mushroom.
In Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, Fire Flowers are referred to as Bros. Flower and attack all enemies as well as possibly causing a burn. In addition, there are two related items: the Mix Flower, which when used creates one giant fireball that falls upon the foe, and the Ice Flower, which is used in the same manner as a Bros. Flower but reduces the enemies' stats rather than causing a burn.
In the Paper Mario series, when Mario and his allies are battling an enemy or two, this item does 3 damage to all foes. It's a common item and isn't very useful when Mario and the gang start fighting stronger enemies.
In Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis when a Mini-Mario touched a Fire Flower, he would become Fire Mini-Mario.
A similar item called a Power Flower appeared in Super Mario 64 DS. In Super Mario World and Super Mario Land, the Fire Flowers were shaped liked tulips.
The Super Smash Bros. series have 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 its worthless. The player could throw the Fire Flower at someone to burn them. It is unknown if it will return in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
