Fire Flower

When Mario or Luigi obtain a Fire Flower, they transform into Fiery Mario or Fiery Luigi. In this form, they can shoot fireballs which can defeat many enemies. The Flower first appeared in Super Mario Bros., which could be found in an ? Block if you had already obtained a Super Mushroom. In Super Mario 64 DS, a similar flower known as a Power Flower will give either Mario, Luigi, or Wario a special power, which would originally be gained by wearing a special cap in Super Mario 64. When Mario uses a Power Flower, he could be able to fly by doing a triple jump. If Luigi used one, he would become partially immaterial and could move through certain objects to get to new places. If Wario used one, he would become metal and could walk at normal speed underwater and could withstand great winds.

In the Paper Mario series, when Mario and his allies are battling an enemy or two, this item does 3 damage to all foes.
