'''Fire Hydrant''' ({{ja|消火栓|Shōkasen}}, ''Fire Hydrant'') is [[Pac-Man]]'s [[down special move]].

==Overview==
Pac-Man throws a fire hydrant below himself: enemies hit by the falling hydrant take 9% damage. If the hydrant lands on the ground, it will stay in place and shoot out water two times. The direction of the shots depends on Pac-Man's position: if he's above the hydrant, water is shot from the top, [[push]]ing characters upwards; otherwise it is shot from both sides, pushing them horizontally. All fighters, including Pac-Man himself, are affected.

The hydrant can also be attacked: once it has taken at least 13% damage (12% before version 1.0.4 of ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''), it is launched in the direction of the attack. Characters hit by the thrown hydrant (including Pac-Man if the hydrant was launched by an opponent) take 13% damage and high knockback.

A hydrant dropped on a steep incline will instantly start rolling down it, knocking away opponents and turning the move into a fast and formidable projectile in such circumstances.

If a character uses a smash attack on a fire hydrant and launches it, they will not make any sounds.

If a fire hydrant lands on an opponent then the opponent will be dealt 23.4% damage and above depending on the accuracy of the attack.

==Customization==
Special Move customization was added in ''Super Smash Bros. 4''. These are the variations:
{{CustomSet|PacMan|Down|name1=Fire Hydrant|desc1=Summon a fire hydrant that shoots powerful jets of water that push nearby fighters.|name2=On-Fire Hydrant|desc2=Summon a fire hydrant that unleashes fire instead of water. Careful, it'll hurt you too!|name3=Dire Hydrant|desc3=Summon a fire hydrant that will explode after a while or when it hits the ground.}}
# '''Fire Hydrant''': Default.
# '''On-Fire Hydrant''': Shoots fire out three times. This fire can inflict 4% to 8% damage every time it touches anyone, including Pac-Man. Direct contact with the hydrant when Pac-Man drops it inflicts 8% damage and has a [[flame|fire]] effect. When the hydrant is launched by an attack, any contact with it will inflict 15% damage, with lower knockback than the standard hydrant. In addition, it takes less damage to launch than the regular variation.
# '''Dire Hydrant''': Pac-Man drops a hydrant that explodes upon touching the ground. When used in the air, the hydrant will explode after falling a short distance, or when it makes contact with a foe. The explosion will inflict 10%, and has a fire effect. Despite being an explosion, it has low knockback and is an inefficient method to KO an opponent, even at high percentages. The explosion does not hurt Pac-Man.
:::In {{forwiiu}}, this variation is a [[List of challenges (SSB4-Wii U)|Challenge]] unlock, only obtainable by scoring at least 200000 points on Stage 2 of [[Target Blast]] in a single game.

==Glitch==
Using the Fire Hydrant on [[Pac-Land]] next to one of the stage's pre-existing Fire Hydrants can prevent Pac-Man's own Fire Hydrant from [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMd1xd8f9WY properly falling to the ground]; as a result, other characters can get stuck underneath the Hydrant as it constantly "falls", inflicting significant damage to opponents.

In ''Ultimate'', a rare glitch exists where the windbox of the Fire Hydrant can unintentionally launch characters far more than usual.

==Origin==
[[File:PacLandArcade.png|thumb|Pac-Man next to a Fire Hydrant in ''Pac-Land'']]
In the game, ''[[Pac-Land]]'', fire hydrants appear as common obstacles. They shoot water that can push Pac-Man away, acting as a hazard should he be pushed towards ghosts.

==Trivia==
*As the Fire Hydrant is a constantly active hitbox throughout its lifetime, [[counterattack]]s and moves such as [[Gravitational Pull]] can retaliate against the hydrant even if it has landed.
*Prior to the release of ''Ultimate'', it was showcased that the blobs of water could be destroyed by both Pac-Man and his opponents. In the final game, however, this is absent.
