Angry Sun
This article is about the enemy sun from Super Mario Bros. 3. For information about the sun character from Paper Mario, see the article Sun (character). For information about the star the Mushroom Planet orbits, see the article Sun.
An Angry Sun is a small, evil sun that first appeared in Super Mario Bros. 3. Like other small suns and the Star species, an Angry Sun is not the gigantic heavenly body that the Mushroom Planet orbits. In fact, an Angry Sun is merely the same size as Mario.
Two Angry Suns appear in Super Mario Bros. 3. The first sun appears in the unnamed desert level between World 2-3 and World 2-4. The second one is located in World 8-2, in the heart of the Koopa Kingdom, Dark Land. To attack Mario, an Angry Sun would swoop down in a U-shaped arch, attempting to hit the plumber. An Angry Sun can be destroyed with a simple Koopa shell or with hammers from the Hammer Suit.
An Angry Sun appears in Mario Kart DS. The Angry Sun resides in the Desert Hills course, where it shoots fireballs at drivers.
The Angry Sun also appeared in The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3. Here it spoke in a growly voice and did little more than what it did in games; its appearance as the sun was also the subject of a joke in "Sneaky Lying Cheating Giant Ninja Koopas", where Mario claimed that the sun was in his eyes and soon found himself (and Luigi) attacked by an offended Angry Sun. Its only other appearance on the show was a cameo in the episode "Do the Koopa".
