Burn: Difference between revisions

[[File:Burn.png|frame|Icon in ''The Thousand-Year Door'']]

'''Burn''' is a status ailment found in the ''[[Mario & Luigi (series)|Mario & Luigi]]'' series, ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', and the ''[[Mario + Rabbids (series)|Mario + Rabbids]]'' series. In the case of the latter two, if a [[frozen]] character is burned, both status ailments are negated.

Burn first appears in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]''. Using the regular or [[Advanced Command|advanced]] versions of the [[Fire Bros. (move)|Fire Bros.]] [[Bros. Attack]], [[Mario]] can sometimes burn enemies, making them lose some HP every turn, similar to [[Poison (status effect)|Poison]]. A miniature flame appears to be floating above the enemy, indicating the condition. In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]'', the status effect acts similarly to its incarnations in recent ''Mario & Luigi'' games, and Mario can burn enemies by landing a [[First Strike]] on an enemy using the [[Firebrand]]. The more dangerous variation of Burn, "Char", also appears, and can be inflicted on enemies as well using the "Super Fire Bros." Super Attack.

 

In the remake, sprites exist for Mario and Luigi being inflicted with a Burn, though they are unused.

The Burn status ailment returns in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'' with a change: if a character is burned, that character loses 8 HP every turn and will not be able to attack or dodge, much as a combination of the Poison and [[Dizzy]] status ailment. Burn is indicated with the character visibly on fire. The three ways to cure a burn are using a Refreshing Herb, waiting until it wears off, or ending the battle by defeating the enemies with the unaffected character. The [[Elasto-Piranha]]s, [[Shrooboid Brat]], [[Blazing Shroob]]s, [[Bowser]], [[Baby Bowser]], [[Skellokey]]s, [[Elder Shrooboid]] and [[Shroob Rex]]es are the only enemies to give the Mario Bros. this status effect. [[Fire Flower|Bro Flowers]] and [[Mix Flower]]s can randomly inflict this status ailment on enemies.

The Burn status returns in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'' with the same effect as in ''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time''. However, only two enemies can cause the Burn status: [[Calorite]] and [[Bowser]]. Bowser can also cause the Burn status ailment to enemies by using his [[Fire Breath|fiery breath]], and it can be inflicted with the [[Fire Flower]] [[Bros. Attack|Special Attack]]. When any enemies (or bosses) are on fire, their idle animation goes much faster. In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]'', the status retains the same function it had in the original game.

In ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', Burns again behave much the same way as Poison, that is, the character or enemy burned will lose 1 HP every turn for a number of turns. However, a burn usually won't last as long as poison. Burn is indicated by a small flame at the afflicted's back. It can be cured by some random stage effects that involve water, an attack that inflicts the [[Freeze]] ailment, or simply after a few turns. Fiery foes such as [[Lava Bubbles]] are immune.

[[Vivian]] is capable of inflicting a burn on her enemies using her [[Shade Fist]] and [[Fiery Jinx]] moves, and Mario can do so as well with the [[Fire Drive]] badge. Additionally, it can be caused by the following foes: The [[Fire Bro]], [[Lava Bubble]]s, [[Ember]]s, [[X-Naut PhD]]s, [[Phantom Ember]]s, and [[Sir Grodus]], and by the flame-throwing stage prop.
