Hot Foot

A Hot Foot (plural Hot Foots or Hot Feet) is a Podoboo-like creature that inhabits the candles in the fortresses of Super Mario Bros. 3. Their behavior is similar to Boos. If Mario or Luigi looks at one it will stand still. If Mario or Luigi look away it will resume walking towards them. Hot Foot can only be defeated by throwing a sledgehammer at it or being invincible while touching it.

Appearances In Other Media


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