Hotheads are large balls of sparking energy that first appear in the game Super Mario World.

History

Super Mario World

Hothead SMW.png

Hotheads first appear in Super Mario World. They slowly move around platforms and don't pose much of a threat. These creatures only appear in some of the fortresses and castles. They can usually be found in areas with Li'l Sparkys, which are smaller versions of Hotheads.

Hotheads reappear in Super Princess Peach. They behave similarly to how they act in Super Mario World. Unlike most other enemies in the game, Hotheads do not have a Vibe-based counterpart.

Super Smash Bros. series

Hotheads appear as an item in Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U. Like in Super Mario World, they stick to the stage when thrown and burn anyone that touches it. It will also grow larger if hit with attacks, but it grows significantly larger when hit by fire attacks. Hotheads move quickly around the platform they are on, but can also just fall off entirely.

Trophy information

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Hothead BrawlTrophy520.png SNES Super Mario World An item that, when tossed, sticks to the terrain and moves, causing damage to those it touches. Whoever threw it won't take damage. It will grow larger if it's attacked, which ups its attack range. However, an increase in size corresponds to a decrease in the time it stays on the screen. A really big Hothead will take up the entire screen, and is quite a sight to behold.

This green box will make you the ultimate defensive character, turning you into solid metal for a short time. You won't flinch from enemy attacks, even in midair,and it is much harder to launch you. On the other hand, you fall like a brick. Getting hit will reduce the duration of this item.
