'''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==
===As an [[item]]===
[[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 by the player's fighter, 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, which are almost twice as strong as when they are thrown at the same size. In ''Ultimate'', Hotheads appear to change their direction when they travel offstage on flat surfaces instead of disappearing; however, if it is on soft terrain, the Hothead will fall off of the edge, and continue to fall until it lands again or falls off the screen.

Hotheads can also be attacked, causing them to grow larger. It can be attacked both before and after setting it in motion. In ''Brawl'' and ''Smash 4'', this was possible through [[flame]] and [[electric]] attacks, but in ''Ultimate'', any attack can increase their size. Hotheads can reach their maximum size of roughly three times its original diameter after taking approximately 30% damage, despite its ''Brawl'' trophy description; however, if it is undamaged and takes more than 30% damage at once, it can gain [[One-hit KO|OHKO]] power. 

Hotheads eventually disappear in an amount of time inversely proportionate to their size (e.g., the bigger ones vanish faster). A traveling or thrown Hothead can be [[Reflection|reflected]], which will change its ownership and reverse its direction of travel.

==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. It will grow larger with some attacks, 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.

===In ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''===
The Hothead trophy appears in both versions.
{{Trophy
|name=Hothead
|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.
*In-game, Hotheads are actually a 2D texture; however, the ''Brawl'' trophy of the Hothead is a 3D model.
*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]].
*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, the situation with the five Soccer Balls and Marth's Critical Hit must be replicated, but after the Soccer Balls have sustained the maximum amount of damage.
*Hotheads will cling to and slide over the surface of some [[boss]]es.
