Superspicy Curry (
While the stream of fire doesn't normally end until the effect wears off, it is temporarily suspended if the character grabs someone. This is to prevent the fire from creating a sort of wobble. The fire resumes when the grabbed character is released.
"Curry" is also a mode in Special Brawl, which gives all players a permanent "Curry" status.
One can perform a glitch with the hot curry as well.
Origin
This was an item in Kirby's Dream Land that granted Kirby the ability to spit fireballs. However, this has not appeared in later Kirby games (likely because of the innovation of copy abilities in Kirby's Adventure). The Superspicy Curry was also featured once in the Kirby anime, Kirby: Right Back at Ya!, though it was renamed as Toxic Atomic Curry. Unlike how it worked in Kirby's Dream Land, whenever someone eats the curry, their body is engulfed in fire and constantly releases an uncontrolable stream of fire from their mouths, in fact, Kirby used this to defeat the Demon Beast, Monsieur Goan. In Brawl, Superspicy Curry makes a constant stream of fire come out of a player's mouth, similar how it was seen in the anime, rather than a fireball.
Trophy Info
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.

Trivia
- When one plays as Kirby, Wario, or King Dedede, and uses inhale/swallow on an opponent, the fire from the curry disappears (the fire around the player will still be there). The fireballs will also disappear if one is grabbing someone.
- When one is under curry effect, one can damage using one's taunt, like R.O.B.'s Diffusion Beam. Oddly, characters that spin or turn their faces in any direction during the taunt will continue shooting fireballs forward.
- The curry effect can overlap with the Bunny Hood and a Super Mushroom to make characters faster, and that makes it easier for Sonic to outrun the cars on Big Blue. It's also possible to run on the track with all 3 items when using Captain Falcon but his speed won't outrun the cars.
