Template:Articleabout Template:Species-infobox The Fire Bros. are a rare variety of Hammer Bro. Instead of throwing Hammers like their relatives, Fire Bros. have the unique ability to spit (and later throw) Fireballs. These fireballs move very fast. Ice Bros. can be considered their polar opposites, as an Ice Flower is the polar opposite of a Fire Flower.

History

Super Mario series

Super Mario Bros. 3

Fire Bros. first appeared in Super Mario Bros. 3. In fact, only three appear in the entire game. Two appear in the Desert Land, after breaking a boulder in the desert with a hammer. Once they're defeated, Mario/Luigi will obtain a Warp Whistle. One also appears in the first Hand Trap level of Dark Land.

New Super Mario Bros.

Two Fire Bros. in New Super Mario Bros.

Fire Bros. reappeared in New Super Mario Bros. as very rare enemies. However, they were only found in World 8-7, right after the checkpoint. They still use the same attacks they had in the previous games they appeared in. In this game, Fire Bros. throw their fireballs with the hand, just like Fire Mario, rather than spitting them.

New Super Mario Bros. Wii

Fire Bros. reappeared in New Super Mario Bros. Wii, having the same attacks from New Super Mario Bros.. They were fairly common in this game. Strangely, they were more common than the Hammer Bros., despite being quite rare in the past games. They appeared in Worlds 2-3, 3-4, 6-6, and 9-7. A single Fire Bro. was near the end of World 2-3. Three Fire Bros. are found in World 3-4: one at the start, another near halfway of the stage, and a third near the end. In World 6-6, the same number of Fire Bros. guard both the normal and alternate exits. In their last appearance in World 9-7, they appeared as a duo on platforms near the end of the level. They are mostly teamed up with Venus Fire Traps.

The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3

Fire Bros. made two rare appearances in The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3, where they retained their status as soldiers in Bowser's army.

In the episode "Reptiles in the Rose Garden" two Fire Bros. and two Boomerang Bros. had been ordered to guard Mario, Luigi, Princess Toadstool and Toad while they were held captive in Castle Koopa's dungeon. However, Princess Toadstool fooled the two pairs into fighting each other so that she and her friends could escape.

In "The Venice Menace", Kootie Pie Koopa briefly used a miniature Fire Bro. as a welding torch, which shot a stream of fire rather than their usual fireballs.

Mario Baseball series

Mario Superstar Baseball

Fire Bro. was made playable for the first time in Mario Superstar Baseball, as a color swap for Hammer Bro. He is one of the unlockable characters in the games.

The Fire Bro. also appeared on Bowser's team in challenge mode. He had slightly less speed than his counterparts, and used an everyday bat rather than the usual hammer or boomerang of the Hammer Bro. and Boomerang Bro. characters. Starting with this game, the Fire Bro.'s appearance has been developed to be wearing a red helmet and a red shell.

Mario Super Sluggers

The Fire Bro. later appeared in Mario Super Sluggers with the same bat as in Mario Superstar Baseball. His fielding abilities have improved, and he has the best batting abilities among his counterparts.

Paper Mario series

Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door

Flare, a Fire Bro., is a fighter in the Glitz Pit alongside Bamma and Hamma Jamma. He is the only Fire Bro. to appear in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. Like Fire Bros. in earlier appearances, he spits fireballs as a main attack. These fireballs not only damage opponents, but may also cause them to catch fire as well.

Super Paper Mario

Fire Bros. make an appearance in the latest of the Paper Mario series, Super Paper Mario. They are encountered in Castle Bleck and in Flipside Pit of 100 Trials, and act just as they did in Super Mario Bros. 3. Some Fire Bros. also have the unique ability to flip between dimensions.
