'''Hotheads''' ({{ja|パサラン|Pasaran}}, ''Pasaran'') are [[enemies]] from the {{uv|Mario}} series.
'''Hotheads''' ({{ja|パサラン|Pasaran}}, ''Pasaran'') are [[item]]s that, when thrown, will slide across the ground releasing bursts of sparks and damaging opponents of the character that has thrown this item. When hit with [[fire]] or [[electric]]-based attacks, they grow bigger, dealing more knockback. However, in contrast to what its ''Brawl'' [[trophy]] says, there is an upper limit to how large the Hothead can become (roughly three times its original diameter).


==Origin==
==Mechanics==
[[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.]]
[[File:Hothead shock.jpg|thumb|A Hothead emitting sparks.]]
Hothead debuted as a throwing/living [[item]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''.
It must be picked up and thrown to be activated. Once the Hothead lands on the ground or a platform, it will move along the surface in the direction it was thrown and periodically release sparks, which are almost 2 times as strong as a smash-thrown Hothead of the same size. A Hothead can continue to grow after it is thrown. If it is thrown onto a stage, the Hothead will cling onto the stage's walls and surface. If, however, it lands on a platform, the Hothead will simply roll off until it finds solid ground (or just falls off the screen). Hotheads eventually disappear in an amount of time inversely proportionate to their size (that is, bigger ones vanish faster).
 
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, they will move along the surface in the direction they were thrown, clinging to the floors and the ceilings of said platforms and periodically release sparks that deal 1.6× more damage. If it moves 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. They can be attacked both before and after being set into 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 is not 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.
A Hothead will reach maximum power after it takes approximately 30%. But if the Hothead is undamaged and hit by a fire or electric based attack that deals over 30% (such as [[Ike (SSBB)|Ike]]'s [[Eruption]]), its power can exceed this limit and gain [[One-hit KO|OHKO]] power. This can be taken to ludicrous extremes by knocking five [[Soccer Ball]]s into a Hothead using [[Marth (SSBB)|Marth]]'s [[Critical Hit]] (only in [[Training Mode]] is this plausible), causing the Hothead to deal 140% or more and become impossible to reflect. When it is seen in [[Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary]], when fighting bosses for boss trophies ([[Petey Piranha]], [[Rayquaza]], [[Porky]], [[Galleom]], [[Ridley]], [[Duon]], [[Meta Ridley]], and [[Tabuu]]), at first sight it will look like a [[Trophy Stand]]. But upon closer inspection it is a fire head with eyes. When used it will only damage the boss and take its stamina bar. The only way to get rid of it other than throw it is wait until it vanishes or throw it offscreen.

In ''[[Super Mario World]]'', Hotheads were enemies that appeared inside [[supermariowiki:Wendy's Castle|Wendy Koopa's Castle]] in World 6, {{s|mariowiki|Chocolate Island}}. This level largely consisting of stone blocks, which had Hotheads constantly moving around them. Unlike those in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', they were not enlarged by fire and they never disappeared.

A really big Hothead will take up the entire screen, and is quite a sight to behold.

==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.

*Oddly, even though Hotheads do fire damage, they cannot ignite [[Blast Box]]es or idle [[Bob-omb]]s upon contact.
*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]].
*In game, Hotheads are actually rendered in 2D. However, in their trophy appearance, they are in 3D.
*''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.
*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]].
**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.
*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.
