Sparky

For creatures with names similar to Sparky go to Spark (disambiguation)

A Sparky is a living orange fireball with two black eyes. Sparkys also have the ability to hover in the air. They are found in the game Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars.

Sparkys may be related to Podoboos. In fact, the two may be the same species but with two different names. Regardless, these Sparkys live in the Pipe Vault, harassing Mario and others by blocking their path through the sewer system.

In battle, a Sparky attacks by spinning its body into one of Mario's party members. A Sparky can also use the special attack Drain, which allows the flame creature to shoot a small fire orb at a party member. Needless to say, Fire magic is ineffective against Sparkys. However, despite being made of fire, Mario can surprisingly use jump attacks on Sparkys. Sparkys typically fight in groups of one to three.

Although most Sparkys live in the Pipe Vault, they were first seen in Bowser's Keep during Mario's initial rescue attempt. However, these Sparkys did not attack; they merely jumped out of the lava as Mario walked by.
