The '''Fire Bar''' ({{ja|ファイアバー|Faiabā}}, ''Fire Bar'') is an [[item]] from the {{uv|Mario}} series.
The '''Fire Bar''' ({{ja|ファイアバー|Faiabā}}, ''Fire Bar'') is an [[item]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''.

Fire Bars made their debut in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' as obstacles in castle levels. They consist of rows of fireballs that rotate clockwise or counterclockwise around a block. They add a puzzle element, requiring strategic timing to bypass them. Fire Bars would make recurring appearances across all kinds of ''Mario'' games, with some Mario games also reinventing the concept, like with Roto-Discs from ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' and Spinners from ''Super Mario World''.
Fire Bars first appeared in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', and have appeared in numerous {{uv|Mario}} games ever since. They are not items, but rather stationary obstacles, rods of fireballs that rotate on a block and typically appear in castle levels. The design of the block of the Fire Bar item is based on their design in contemporary 3D ''Mario'' games, while the fire is based on the design of fireballs in ''Super Mario Bros.''.
{{clrl}}


Their design as items in ''Smash Bros.'' is almost a 1:1 recreation of their ''Super Mario Bros.'' sprite, with some cues from their appearances in 3D titles, such as ''Super Mario 3D Land'', where there are no fireballs "stuck" inside the block.
==Operation==
{{clrl}}
The Fire Bar is a battering item that deals [[flame]] damage. It features a unique mechanism somewhat involving ammunition, as the Fire Bar features 5 fireballs on it. When swung, the Fire Bar deals fire damage, alongside moderate knockback and damage, with a forward smash being able to KO opponents at 50% when fully charged. Fireballs closer to the hilt deal more damage than those distant from it.


==Overview==
However, the fireballs on the Fire Bar gradually disappear, with one fireball vanishing after every two times the weapon hits opponents. The weapon cannot go below one fireball, lowering its effective range. Throwing the item does not count towards the loss of fireballs, but it does not reset it.
===As an [[item]]===
The Fire Bar debuts in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' as a battering weapon.

Of note is that the Fire Bar does not have a hitbox on its hilt, and all hitboxes in the weapon are only on the fireballs. As a result, the weapon cannot harm opponents at point-blank range, and hitting with the fireballs becomes more and more difficult as the fireballs begin to dissipate.
