Fire Shooters[1][2] are enemies introduced in Super Mario Galaxy. They are similar to Water Shooters, but as their name suggests, they shoot fire instead of water. They resemble the nozzle part of FLUDD from Super Mario Sunshine, except in red.
History[edit]
Super Mario Galaxy[edit]
In Super Mario Galaxy and its Nintendo Switch port, Fire Shooters are completely stationary and invincible, and their nozzles spew a stream of flames at Mario or Luigi. One unique Fire Shooter in the Toy Time Galaxy is larger and shoots fireballs in a straight line instead of spewing fire. It appears within Mecha-Bowser's mouth during the galaxy's first mission, serving as its "fire breath".
Flame-spewing Fire Shooters appear in the following list of galaxies and missions. If no mission is stated, they appear during all missions:
- Bowser's Star Reactor
- Toy Time Galaxy ("Bouncing Down Cake Lane")
- Deep Dark Galaxy ("Bubble Blastoff")
- Bubble Blast Galaxy
Super Mario Galaxy 2[edit]
Fire Shooters return in Super Mario Galaxy 2 and its Nintendo Switch port, appearing only in Bowser's Galaxy Generator. They now have the behavior of Mecha-Bowser's fireball-shooting Fire Shooter, while being the size of the usual flame-spewing variant.
