A Hot Foot[1] is a flame-like enemy, making its first game appearance in Super Mario Bros. 3.

History

Super Mario Bros. 3

In Super Mario Bros. 3, Hot Feet inhabit the candles of fortresses, first appearing in World 4-Fortress 1. A Hot Foot's behavior is similar to that of a Boo. If Mario or Luigi looks at one, it will stand still, and if they look away, the Hot Foot will resume walking towards them. Unlike Boos, Hot Feet can only move along the ground. Hot Feet can only be defeated by Hammer Mario's hammers or touching them while invincible.

A single Hot Foot makes an appearance in The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3, in the episode "Princess Toadstool for President", where it leaps off of its candle and chases after Mario and Luigi for a brief time.

Nintendo Adventure Books

In the Nintendo Adventure Book Koopa Capers, a large number of Hot Feet appear guarding a coin-filled cave Luigi can find in the Magma Pits. After Luigi collects some of the coins, the Hot Feet will chase him, leading him to either a Fire Chomp (which can lead to a Game Over) or a door leading to a chamber filled with Fire Snakes. Referencing the confusion over the plural version of their name, Luigi is unable to decide on whether or not to call them Hot Feet or Hot Foots.

あれれ?ローソクの炎が!
壁のローソクのふりをしている、ひきょうもの。炎の部分だけが、いつのまにか追いかけてくる。テレサ(P116)みたいに、正面を向くと止まるのでときどき振り返ろう。[2]

What's that? The candles are burning!
It pretends to be a candle on the wall, a treacherous thing. Only the flames will follow you at any moment. Like Boo (p. 116), it stops when you face forward, so turn around from time to time.
