Fire Breath

Fire Breath is a move Bowser can execute in various games. He will emit fire out of his mouth and burn anyone near. Fire Breath is also one of Bowser's special moves in Super Smash Bros. Melee and Brawl. Bowser uses this move when the B Button is pressed. It is exactly the same as a Fire Flower, except that the flames get smaller the more it is used. The attack is somewhat of a long-distance move, and is usually best to use when the enemy is coming in for close-range combat. However, the move will leave Bowser motionless while using the attack, and will leave his back open for attack. If Kirby copies Bowser's abilities, he will gain the Fire Breath attack. Bowser also uses this move in Super Paper Mario and it is his special move in the game. It can be used to light candles. Also it can attack enemies from a distance, giving Bowser a slight advantage.

In Mario Power Tennis the Fire Breath is the Offensive Power Shot used by Bowser. It involves Bowser breathing fire on the ball and sending it over the court alight. A similar move was seen as Bowser's special shot in the table tennis dream event in Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games.

In Super Mario 64 DS, Yoshi can do a simular attack when he gets a power flower.
