'''Hotheads''' ({{ja|パサラン|Pasaran}}, ''Pasaran'') are [[enemies]] from the {{uv|Mario}} series.

==Origin==
[[File:HotheadSMW.png|thumb|left|50px|A Hothead from ''Super Mario World'']]
Hotheads made their debut in ''[[Super Mario World]]'' as castle level enemies and has become a recurring enemy in the {{uv|Mario}} and {{uv|Yoshi}} series. They are large balls of sparkling energy with simple eyes. Hotheads are known for simply moving along platforms and being immune to every attack, except for Invincible Mario.

==Overview==
[[File:Hothead shock.jpg|thumb|A Hothead emitting sparks.]]
Hothead debuted as a throwing/living [[item]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''.

In its stationary state, Hotheads can be picked up and thrown, but will become mobile when thrown. Once they land on the ground or on a platform, it will move along the surface in the direction it was thrown, clinging to the floors and the ceilings of said platforms and periodically release sparks that deals 1.6× more damage. If it moving on a [[soft platform]], the Hothead will fall off of the edge and continue to fall until it lands again or falls off the screen. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', Hotheads will change their direction when they travel offstage on flat surfaces instead of disappearing.

Hotheads can also be attacked, causing them to grow larger and deal more damage. It can be attacked both before and after setting it in motion. The incoming damage is multiplied by some value and added onto the Hothead's current damage (e.g. a 7% attack and a multiplier of 0.7× will add 4.9%); this new value will used and added onto with further attacks. When the damage it deals reaches certain thresholds (see table below), the damage increase from further incoming attacks will decrease or stop completely after passing the last threshold. In ''Brawl'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', only [[flame]] and [[electric]] attacks can increase the damage, while in ''Ultimate'' any attack can increase their size but will receive a 0.3× multiplier alongside the normal multiplier if it isn't a flame or electric attack.

In ''Brawl'', the Hothead is one of the main components of the "Lucario Black Hole," a [[glitch]] that can [[Game crash#In Super Smash Bros. Brawl|crash]] the game.

==Trophies==
===In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''===
{{Trophy
|name=Hothead
|image=Hothead - Brawl Trophy.png
|desc-ntsc=An item that, when tossed, sticks to the terrain and moves, causing damage to those it touches. Whoever threw it won't take damage. It will grow larger if it's attacked, which ups its attack range. However, an increase in size corresponds to a decrease in the time it stays on the screen. A really big Hothead will take up the entire screen, and is quite a sight to behold.
|desc-pal=An item that, when tossed, sticks to the terrain and moves, causing damage to those it touches. Whoever threw it won't take damage.

===In ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''===
The Hothead trophy appears in both versions.
{{Trophy

|image-3ds=HotheadTrophy3DS.png
|image-wiiu=HotheadTrophyWiiU.png
|desc-ntsc=Once thrown, this guy will move across the ground and damage anything—except you—in its path. You can make the Hothead bigger by hitting it with attacks, much to your opponents' dismay. If you make it really big and powerful, it may just carry you to victory!
|desc-pal=Throw this on the ground and it'll slide around, damaging everything in its path, except you. You can make the Hothead get bigger and more powerful by attacking it with fire and lightning, and it's pretty impressive just how big and powerful it can get!

}}

==Spirits==
The Hothead also appears as a Novice-class [[support spirit]].

The Hothead's Spirit Battle uses a [[Curry]] {{SSBU|Pac-Man}} puppet fighter and is fought on the [[Mushroom Kingdom U]] stage's Slide Lift Tower layout. During the battle, the Hothead appears as the item while Pac-Man starts off with a Hothead.

In addition to the above, equipping the Plasma Wisp or Zip support spirits will give the player a Hothead at a start of their stock.

==Trivia==
*Oddly, even though Hotheads do fire damage, they cannot ignite [[Blast Box]]es or idle [[Bob-omb]]s upon contact.
*If the first attack a Hothead receives deals more than 30% and it sparks, it can [[one-hit KO]].
*''Brawl''{{'}}s trophy states that the larger a Hothead is, the faster it will disappear. This is false and the only reason it would last a shorter amount of time is based on the time taken to make the Hothead larger.
**It also mentions that a large enough Hothead will take up the entire screen despite it not being able to grow to more than twice its size.
*In-game, Hotheads are actually a 2D texture; however, the ''Brawl'' trophy of the Hothead is a 3D model.
*In ''Brawl'', the highest possible damage output known for a Hothead without hacking is 274% when smash thrown, and 426% when it sparks. For a Hothead to become this strong, {{SSBB|Marth}}'s [[Critical Hit]] must launch five [[Soccer Ball]]s that have sustained the maximum amount of damage into the Hothead. 
*Hotheads will cling to and slide over the surface of some [[boss]]es.
*Without the aid of items or [[character customization|custom]]s, [[Roy]] can create the strongest Hothead out of any character by hitting it with a fully charged [[Flare Blade]].
