'''Superspicy Curry''' ({{ja|激辛カレーライス|Gekikara Karē Raisu}}, ''Spicy Curry Rice'') is an [[item]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', hailing from the {{uv|Kirby}} universe. The item acts as a transformation item that not only allows the player to constantly spew either fireballs in ''Brawl'' or a stream of fire in ''SSB4'' and ''Ultimate'', but also changes the mechanics of their movement.

==Origin==
[[File:SpicyCurryKDL.gif|thumb|left|The Spicy Curry in ''Kirby's Dream Land''.]]
The Superspicy Curry first appeared as an item in ''[[Kirby's Dream Land]]''. If [[Kirby]] consumed the item, he would temporarily be given the ability to spit individual fireballs at his enemies, referencing the spiciness of its [[wikipedia:Curry|real-world counterpart]]; ''Kirby's Dream Land'' did not allow Kirby to copy the abilities of his enemies, and as such, the item can be considered a precursor to his trademark ability to copy abilities. To date, the item has not reappeared in the series, primarily because the item's use has been superseded by Fire Kirby and other transformations. In the port included in ''Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition'', the instruction manual on the Home Menu simply calls it "Hot Food".

The Superspicy Curry was also in the episode "A Spice Odyssey", also referred to as ''The Hot Shot Chef'' ("Spicy! Family Restaurant War" in Japanese) from the ''Kirby'' anime, ''{{iw|wikirby|Kirby: Right Back at Ya!}}'' (called ''Hoshi no Kabi'', meaning ''Kirby of the Stars'', in Japanese), though it was renamed ''Toxic Atomic Curry'' in English. Unlike how it worked in ''Kirby's Dream Land'', whenever someone ate the curry, they would release an uncontrollable stream of fire from their mouth rather than multiple fireballs; in the episode, Kirby uses the curry in order to defeat Monsieur Goan.

==Overview==
Upon consumption of the Superspicy Curry, the user will continuously have flames erupting from their mouth in an up-and-down flame pattern for thirteen seconds. While similar in effect to the [[Fire Flower]], the character can still attack throughout the transformation; as these flames cannot be interrupted outside of grabbing, players can even inflict damage while [[taunt]]ing. While the flames deal only 1% per hit, the "fanning" motion of the numerous hitboxes and their low knockback can allow the player to inflict considerable damage on their opponents if they force them against walls or otherwise find another method to keep them in place. The individual flames of the item, however, are considered to be energy-based projectiles, and as such, they can be [[reflect]]ed and even [[absorb]]ed. In addition the flames disappear if the player [[grab]]s an opponent, likely to prevent forming an overly powerful [[wobble]] effect.

In ''Brawl'' and ''for Wii U'', the Superspicy Curry also affects the user's movement, forcing players to constantly [[dash]] instead of [[walk]] whenever moving, with the animation itself comically playing much faster than usual. In ''Ultimate'', it no longer forces the user to dash constantly when consumed, thus allowing them to freely use their [[forward tilt]]s.

As an added cosmetic effect, the [[idle pose]] of players is humorously changed in order to reference their consumption of the item. While some of these changed idle poses might change the orientation of the character ([[Toon Link]], for instance, constantly spins in place under its effects, while Marth frequently jumps in the air while comically flailing his arms and legs), the flames stay in place. In ''Smash 4'' and ''Ultimate'', most characters are more expressive as their faces turn red while under the effects. In ''Ultimate'', their expressions are also displayed during other animations, such as crouching and putting up their shield.

===As a [[Special Smash]] option===
"Curry" is among the various modifiers available in ''Brawl''{{'}}s Special Brawl, ''for Wii U''{{'}}s Special Smash, and ''Ultimate''{{'}} Custom Smash. When selected, it puts all players in a permanent curry status.

==Trophies==
===In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''===
{{Trophy
|name=Superspicy Curry
|image=Superspicy Curry - Brawl Trophy.png
|desc=The spiciest curry around. Eat it, and you'll be able to attack by spitting out fireballs. The eater of the curry will soon be unable to handle the heat, however, and end up frantically dashing about the screen. This is a pretty funny sight that never gets old, especially when it's Samus or Snake. Eat this mouth-scorching dish if you dare.

===In ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''===
The Superspicy Curry trophy appears in both versions. In {{forwiiu}} it is part of the ''The Beginning of Kirby'' {{h1|Trophy Box|The Beginning of Kirby}}.
{{Trophy
|name=Superspicy Curry
|image-3ds=SuperspicyCurryTrophy3DS.png
|image-wiiu=SuperspicyCurryTrophyWiiU.png
|desc-ntsc=Hope you're a fan of spicy food, because this curry will set your mouth on fire! I'm not kidding—whoever eats this will actually shoot balls of fire from his or her mouth, hurting those who get too close. Water doesn't help with spiciness, so this works underwater too! Too bad there's no milk weapon...
|desc-pal=You think you know spicy curries? Think again! One taste of this one and your mouth will literally be on fire. Not even diving into water will help! Your opponents might laugh, but they'll soon stop when you start breathing fire in their direction, now won't they?

==Spirits==
While the Superspicy Curry itself does not have a [[spirit]], the item appears as an ability for the [[primary spirit]] Paper Bowser (Paper Mario: Sticker Star) and the [[support spirit]]s Blargg, Arcanine, Mist, Twinbellows, Blaze the Cat, and Chef (Personal Trainer: Cooking). Using any of the listed spirits will equip the player with Superspicy Curry at the start of a match. Using the Ender Dragon spirit will give a special version of Superspicy Curry that has extra range.

==Trivia==
*''Super Smash Bros. 4''{{'}}s trophy descriptions mention that water does not douse the effects of the curry. This is in contrast to its first appearance in ''Kirby's Dream Land'' where entering water prematurely ends the curry's effect; this is even warned about in the instruction booklet.<ref>[https://archive.org/details/dmg-ky-ukv-3-manual_RAW/DMG-KY-UKV-3-M008.jpg Kirby's Dream Land instruction booklet, pg. 14]</ref> However, it could be referring to the fact that the effects of the curry are unaffected by entering water in ''Smash''.
*{{SSBU|Banjo & Kazooie}} will have the fire coming out from behind while dashing, due to their dash animation involving Kazooie carrying Banjo on her back and Banjo eating the curry.
*The curry effect can overlap with the [[Bunny Hood]] and a [[Super Mushroom]] to make characters faster. By using all three items together, {{SSBB|Sonic}} can outrun the iceberg on [[Summit]].
*In ''SSB4'', there is a glitch that involves two players having Superspicy Curry making the players go up until they get KOed by the upper blast line.
*In ''{{iw|wikirby|Kirby Mass Attack}}'', the Superspicy Curry appears with the ''Super Smash Bros.'' design in the minigame ''{{iw|wikirby|Kirby Quest}}''.
*In ''SSB4'' and ''Ultimate'', many characters under the effect of Superspicy Curry have their cheeks colored red. While this only applies to their idle pose in ''SSB4'', characters maintain their expressions until the curry runs out in ''Ultimate''.
**In ''SSB4'', {{SSB4|Mega Man}}'s entire face turns red.
**This has [https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/super-smash-bros-ahegao-faces?full=1 become a sort of meme and "innuendo" for its suggestive undertones], particularly when the effect is on a female character, due to the fact that they can resemble "[https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/subcultures/ahegao ahegao faces]".
