'''Fire Breath''' ({{ja|クッパブレス|Kuppaburesu}}, ''Koopa Breath'') is [[Bowser]]'s [[neutral special move]].

==Overview==
While holding the B button, Bowser continuously exhales a stream of fire in front of him, which gradually decreases in length over time. In ''[[Brawl]]'', the flames can also be angled up and down, and they will never completely recede, as they will in ''[[Melee]]'', where Bowser will eventually begin to exhale smoke instead.

The move's long duration is useful for staving off opponents and preventing their return to the stage. Unfortunately, an opponent using [[DI]] can escape the flames fairly easily in most directions. However, {{SSBB|Donkey Kong}} in ''Brawl'' has no chance of recovering if this move is used in the correct spot. The fire will flow off of floors and walls, and can actually split in two directions, if the angle is perpendicular.

This special attack is shared by [[Giga Bowser]], both in his boss appearance in ''Melee'' and in his [[Giga Bowser (Final Smash)|playable appearance]] in ''Brawl'' and ''Smash 4''. There is no time limit to how long the attack can be held in his ''Melee'' incarnation.

This move is also similar to [[Charizard]]'s [[Flamethrower]] in both appearance and function.

==Customization==
Special Move customization was added in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''. These are the variations:
{{CustomSet|Bowser|Neutral|name1=Fire Breath|desc1=Breathes fire. Power decreases if used too much. You can control the angle a little bit.|name2=Fire Shot|desc2=Spit out a fireball. Power won't change even if used in rapid succession.|name3=Fire Roar|desc3=More powerful than Fire Breath, but it runs out quickly and takes longer to recharge.}}
# '''Fire Breath''': Default.
# '''Fire Shot''': Releases a large fireball, with considerably more start-up lag, that travels far and passes through enemies. Does 6% early, 5% late. Unlike Fire Breath, Fire Shot will not weaken over time.
# '''Fire Roar''': A much stronger variation of Fire Breath that loses range much quicker, and takes longer to recharge. It reaches to approximately halfway of Battlefield, and does 2-3% damage per hit. It doesn't make foes [[flinch]] when being hit by the outer part of the fire.

==Flame cancel==

In NTSC versions 1.0 and 1.1 of ''Melee'', Bowser can cancel the startup lag of this move if he lands during its initial frames, in a manner similar to the [[space animals]]' [[short hop laser]]. This technique is not possible in the NTSC 1.2 and PAL versions.

==Origin==
[[File:Bowsersfirebreath.png|thumb|Bowser's Fire Breath in various ''Mario'' titles.]]
Bowser's ability to breathe fire has been demonstrated in many games he's appeared in, including his debut in ''{{s|supermariowiki|Super Mario Bros.}}'', where he would shoot fireballs at [[Mario]]. These fireballs are also the inspiration for Fire Shot, one of his customizable moves in ''Super Smash Bros. 4''. However, it wasn't until ''{{s|supermariowiki|Super Mario 64}}'' and many games after that he was shown to breathe continuous streams of fire.
