This article is about hitbox effect. For Mr. Game & Watch's up special, see Fire.

There are various attacks in the Smash Bros. series that cause the flame effect. Targets hit by these attacks will momentarily be set on fire, flashing red and orange. Flame attacks have other effects:

  • They thaw frozen characters.
  • They cause Blast Boxes to detonate instantly.
  • They do no damage to Red Pikmin, which will not flinch.
  • They deal 1.1x knockback to Ivysaur and 0.9x knockback to Squirtle.
  • They are strengthened by Flame Attack stickers and resisted by Flame Resistance stickers.

Flame is by far the most common "elemental" attack in the Smash Bros. series, with over half of Brawl's roster having access to at least one.

The vast majority of explosive attacks use the flame effect.
