Fire Flower
The Fire Flower
Universe	Mario Bros.
Appears in	SSB, Melee, Brawl
Item class	Shooting

When holding a Fire Flower　(ファイアフラワー,　faia furawā), hitting the attack button will make the flower start spewing fire in front of the character. It originates from the Super Mario Bros. series.

• It can do up to 44% damage combined.
• By throwing and dropping it, it can do between 4-12% damage.
• The Fire Flower will last a combined 7 seconds.
• When using the Fire Flower in Super Smash Bros. Melee, characters cannot move or jump.
  • In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Fire Flowers, like all shooting items, can now be used while walking. [1]
• Being hit by a thrown Fire Flower will set the character on fire, as well as cause a little knockback.
• The flames can be reflected by Fox/Falco's reflector, Zelda's Nayru's Love, and Mario/Dr. Mario's cape. It can also be deflected by Mewtwo's Confusion, but doesn't hurt the opponent, and isn't very effective. The flames can also be absorbed in Ness and Lucas's PSI Magnet.
• Level 5 and above CPUs in the original Super Smash Bros. will never use the Fire Flower against Fox or Ness since Fox can reflect the flames and Ness can absorb them. Instead, they'll throw the Fire Flower at them.

Origin

A fire flower as it originally appeared in Super Mario Bros.

The Fire Flower made it's first appearance in Super Mario Bros.. When the item is acquired, the player can shoot fireballs at enemies. The Fire Flower has also appeared in almost every Mario game since and functions the same. In the Super Smash Bros. series, the Fire Flower is used differently as it shoots a stream of fire rather than fireballs. The design of the Fire Flower in Super Smash Bros. resembles the design in Super Mario Bros. Also, the design of the Fire Flower in Melee resembles a daisy, which is what the fire flower was in Super Mario Bros. The design of the fire flower in Brawl resembles the Fire Flower design from New Super Mario Bros. [2]

Trophy Info

In Melee

Once you grab this item, press and hold down the A Button to make the flower breathe flames until its power gives out. The Fire Flower is incredibly useful when you want to push someone off the edge of a stage. In Super Mario Bros., it transformed Mario into Fire Mario, changing his garb and enabling him to throw fireballs.

In Brawl

A flower that breathes flames when you press and hold the attack button. The flames don't last forever, though--after a while, the flower will lose its fiery power. You can also throw Fire Flowers at enemies to set them on fire for a brief moment. In Super Mario Bros., Fire Flowers were used to transform Mario into Fire Mario.
