Notices
The Skill parameter has been removed from Smasher infoboxes, and in its place are the new "Best historical ranking" and "Best tournament result" parameters. SmashWiki needs help adding these new parameters to Smasher infoboxes, refer to the guidelines here for what should be included in these new parameters.
When adding results to Smasher pages, include each tournament's entrant number in addition to the player's placement, and use the {{Trn}} template with the matching game specified. Please also fix old results on Smasher pages that do not abide to this standard. Refer to our Smasher article guidelines to see how results tables should be formatted.

Overview[edit]

Mario rears back and thrusts his palm forwards, producing a decently-sized burst of flame and dealing flame damage to anyone it connects with. It is the 13th most powerful forward smash in Melee, and relatively quick. However, its range is somewhat subpar, and connecting with the sourspot on Mario's arm results in much weaker knockback. It can be angled up or down, and when fully charged, sweetspotted, and angled up, can KO at 72%. The sweetspot has transcendental priority.
