'''Fire Bros''' (or '''Fire Brothers'''<ref>''Super Mario Bros. 3'' English instruction booklet. Page 41.</ref>) are a variety of [[Hammer Bro]] that first appeared in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' as a rare enemy. They have become more common in their following appearances, to the point of being fairly uncommon at most in some games. Instead of throwing [[hammer]]s like their relatives, Fire Bros have the unique ability to throw [[fireball]]s akin to [[Fire Mario]]. [[Ice Bro]]s, a similar variant introduced in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', act directly the opposite, due to throwing [[Ice Ball]]s. | '''Fire Bros''' (or '''Fire Brothers'''<ref>''Super Mario Bros. 3'' English instruction booklet.

In their debut appearance in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', Fire Brothers | In their debut appearance in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', Fire Brothers produce fireballs by spitting them out. Like all Hammer Brother variants, they face the player, moving back and forth in a small area, occasionally jumping and spitting out one or two fireballs at a time. As with every Hammer Brother variant, defeating them via [[stomp]]ing yields 1000 points, while defeating them with any other attack (hitting the block below them, [[Shell Toss|thrown shells]], [[fireball]]s, tail swipes from [[Raccoon Mario|Raccoon]] or [[Tanooki Mario]], hammers from [[Hammer Mario]], and contact with players made invincible by a [[Super Star|Starman]]) gives out only 100 points by default, unless the enemy was not one of the first to be defeated by the thrown shell. | ||
Only three Fire Brothers appear in the entire game. In [[Desert Land]], the player can use a [[hammer]] (which can be obtained by defeating one of the [[Boomerang Bro]]thers [[Enemy Course|roaming]] the map) to break a certain boulder in the upper-right corner of the map, revealing a secret path in the desert leading to a Toad House and a [[Enemy Course|patrolling enemy]] that, when encountered, results in a battle with a pair of Fire Brothers. Defeating both allows the player to obtain the third [[Recorder|Magic Whistle]] of the game. Upon completing [[Giant Land]], [[Princess Peach]] sends a [[letter]] referring to them, the Whistle they stole, and the fact that they have "escaped to the east side of the sand Dunes". The third Fire Bro is the first enemy encountered in the first [[World 8-Hand Traps|Hand Trap]] level of [[Dark Land]], which contains every type of [[Hammer Bro]]ther in the game. | Only three Fire Brothers appear in the entire game.

Fire Bros appear in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and its [[Nintendo Switch]] port ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]'', making their first appearance in a 3D ''Super Mario'' platformer game. These enemies are extremely common, appearing in a multitude of levels, with two, [[Fort Fire Bros.]] and its harder version, [[Faster Fort Fire Bros.]], even being dedicated to them. Their attack pattern is the same as that of Hammer Bros. and Boomerang Bros. in 3D ''Super Mario'' games, tossing two fireballs directly at Mario before jumping to another position. Their fireballs can travel through [[Clear Pipe]]s, and can also be put out by the heroes' own fireballs. Some of them are found atop [[Goomba Tower]]s and function as their commanders; consequently, defeating these Fire Bros clears the remaining Goombas on the stack, even when the Fire Bro is not mounted on the stack it is associated with at the time of its defeat. Furthermore, Fire Bros appear in four different [[Fire Bros. Hideout|hideout]]s throughout the game that act as optional enemy battles. In this game, Fire Bros' fireballs can defeat other enemies that come in contact with it, even each other. Cat variants appear in [[Lake Lapcat]]. | |||
