In ''Mario Bros.'', Fighter Flies are one of the myriad of pests that emerge from pipes to attack Mario and Luigi. They first appear in Stage Six. After a Fighter Fly emerges, it hops across the stage's platforms. As such, Mario has to precisely time his [[Jump]] when the Fighter Fly is on the ground to flip the creature over. If airborne, a Fighter Fly cannot be flipped over - not even if Mario uses the [[POW Block]]. Once flipped over, Mario has to run into the insect to clear it off the stage.
In ''Mario Bros.'', Fighter Flies are one of the myriad of pests that emerge from pipes to attack Mario and Luigi. They first appear in Phase 6 in international releases and Phase 7 in Japanese versions. After a Fighter Fly emerges, it hops across the [[floor (Mario Bros.)|floor]]s. As such, Mario has to precisely time his [[jump]] when the Fighter Fly is on the ground to flip the creature over. If airborne, a Fighter Fly cannot be flipped over - not even if Mario uses the [[POW Block]]. Once flipped over, Mario has to run into the insect to clear it off the stage.
 
In early iterations of the game, their design features large toothy scowls and shiny eyes, but their design was redone for the multiplayer mode of the ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'' version of ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. Their design in this title has large white eyes with black pupils, while their scowls are replaced with small closed mouths, their heads are a light orange color, and they have noses. This design is further developed in ''[[Mario Bros. (Game Boy Advance)|Mario Bros.]]'' for [[Game Boy Advance]] , which also gives them three colors and speeds depending on how many times they have been flipped over, like the other target enemies have.
 
====''Mario Bros. Special''====
In ''[[Mario Bros. Special]]'', 1984 semi-sequel by [[Hudson Soft]], Fighterflies can only be stunned if it is only a trampoline or conveyor belt that is being bounced on by Mario or Luigi. They first appear in Phase 9.


While their old designs looked very bug-like in appearance, their design was redone for the multiplayer mode of the ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'' version of ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. Their design in this title gave them eyes that resembled [[Lakitu]] goggles, and removed their menacing teeth.  
====''Punch Ball Mario Bros.''====
In ''[[Punch Ball Mario Bros.]]'', the other sequel by Hudson Soft, Fighterflies can be flipped over by hitting the POW Block while it is on the ground or having a [[Punch Ball]] thrown at them. If they recover or become the last target enemy on stage, they will turn green and move faster. They first appear in Phase 6.


====In other iterations of ''Mario Bros.''====
===''Super Mario Bros. Special''===
[[File:fighterflylandartwork.png|frame|A Fly artwork, from ''Super Mario Land''.]]
In ''[[Super Mario Bros. Special]]'', Fighterflies, named '''Nakaji''', appear in five levels. They are presumably named after Tomohiko Nakajima, one of the three staff members responsible for naming new enemies. He also made the end credits, which is the only place where the name appears. While it is not possible to [[stomp]] them, they can be defeated by any other method, including with a [[hammer|Hummer]].
Fighter Flies appear in ''Luigi Bros.'', an additional game featured in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]''. Like the other enemies in ''Luigi Bros.'', Fighter Flies behave in the same way as in ''Mario Bros.'', which this game is based on.


Fighter Flies are present in ''[[NES Remix]]'' as enemies and level objectives in some of the challenges and remixes based on ''Mario Bros.''.
===''Super Mario'' series===
====''Super Mario Land''====
[[File:SML Fighter Fly Second Artwork.png|frame|A Fly artwork, from ''Super Mario Land''.]]
In ''[[Super Mario Land]]'', Fighterflies are simply named '''Flies'''<ref>''Super Mario Land'' English instruction booklet, page 16.</ref><ref>M. Arakawa. Nintendo ''Game Boy'' Player's Guide. Page 5.</ref> and are seen in the [[Birabuto Kingdom]] of [[Sarasaland]]. In this game, they hop towards Mario, just like in ''Mario Bros.'' Some of them spawn in midair and hop downward when scrolled on-screen instead of appearing simply on the ground. [[Kumo]]s from the [[Easton Kingdom]] attack in the same manner as Flies. They can simply be jumped on or be shot with a [[Superball Mario|Superball]] to be defeated. Flies award Mario with 400 points when he defeats them. They are only found in [[World 1-1 (Super Mario Land)|World 1-1]] and [[World 1-3 (Super Mario Land)|World 1-3]] where, in the latter, one poses as [[Princess Daisy]].


===''Super Mario Land''===
====''Super Mario 3D World'' / ''Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury''====
In ''[[Super Mario Land]]'', Fighter Flies are simply named '''Flies'''<ref>''Super Mario Land'' English instruction booklet, page 16.</ref><ref>''Nintendo Power'' Game Boy Player's Guide, page 5</ref> and are seen in the [[Birabuto Kingdom]] of [[Sarasaland]]. In this game, they hop towards Mario, just like in ''Mario Bros.''. [[Kumo]]s from the [[Easton Kingdom]] attack in the same manner as Fighter Flies. They can simply be jumped on or be shot with a [[superball]] to be defeated. Flies award Mario with 400 points when he defeats them. They are only found in the first stage, [[World 1-1 (Super Mario Land)|World 1-1]].
Fighter Flies appear in ''[[Luigi Bros.]]'', an additional game featured in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]''. Like the other enemies in ''Luigi Bros.'', Fighter Flies behave in the same way as in ''Mario Bros.'', which this game is based on.

====''Super Mario Maker''====
A [[Mystery Mushroom]] costume, designed after Fighter Fly, can be unlocked in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' (after the [[Super Mario Maker#Version 1.20|version 1.20]] update) by completing the hard version of [[Gnat Attack]]. When performing a jump as Fighter Fly, the player can hear the high-pitched noise this enemy made in the original ''Mario Bros.'' If the player presses {{button|wii|Padup}} while playing as Fighter Fly, it will turn into a [[Freezie]], which is a foe that also debuted in ''Mario Bros.''
 
===''Super Mario'' (Kodansha manga)===
In ''[[Super Mario Land (manga)|Super Mario Land]]'', Fighter Flies, depicted like giant anthropomorphic flies (with compound eyes and proboscis), are met in [[Birabuto Kingdom]]. One attaches itself onto [[Mekakuribō]], who is actually [[Princess Peach]] in disguise, making her yell in disgust when the enemy starts slurping with its mouth. Mario quickly defeats it. When Daisy is rescued from [[King Totomesu]], she jumps at Mario and starts to kiss him, only to reveal she was a Fighter Fly in disguise, making Mario gag.
 
===''Super Mario-kun''===
In ''[[Super Mario-kun]]'', Fighter Flies appear in [[Super Mario-kun Volume 3|volume 3]] alongside other ''Super Mario Land'' enemies. One of them is the second enemy to damage Mario, via biting. Later, Mario grabs a [[Super Star]] and defeats them alongside the other enemies.
 
Another Flighter Fly also appears in chapter 9 of [[Super Mario-kun Volume 9|volume 9]], which takes place in a ''Mario Bros.'' styled arena where Mario, Luigi and Yoshi are trapped. It does not play any important role.

In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'', they make a reappearance in [[Stardust Fields]], the border between the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] and the [[Beanbean Kingdom]]. To attack, a Fighter Fly hops towards Mario or Luigi and tries to bump into the plumber. The heroes can [[jump]] to avoid the attack.

In the remake's ''Minion Quest'' mode, a Fighter Fly makes a cameo as the first audition for [[Popple]]'s new "Rookie," which [[Birdo]] ends up receiving. Outside of this appearance, they are completely absent from the mode.

===''Mario Power Tennis''===
===''Mario Power Tennis''===
Fighter Flies appear on the [[Mario Classic Court]] in ''[[Mario Power Tennis]]'', in a flat 8-bit model form. Like other enemies, they can trip up an opponent. Analyzing the game files for ''Mario Power Tennis'', an unused 3D model for a Fighter Fly can be found, heavily based off their design from the ''Mario Bros.'' remake found in ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]''.

A [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]] of Fighter Flies appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]''. Unlike the other ''Mario Bros.'' trophies, this trophy uses sprites from the NES version instead of the arcade version.
 
===Other appearances===
Fighterflies are programmable sprites in the Playbox BASIC and [[Family BASIC]] accessories for the [[Family Computer]]. They make a cameo in the Playbox BASIC's Biorhythm Board. They appear as enemies in shooter [[mini-game]]s in the Data Recorder's cassette and Family BASIC V3.
 
Fighter Flies are present in ''[[NES Remix]]'' as enemies and level objectives in some of the challenges and remixes based on ''Mario Bros.''

A Fighter Fly (originally spelled Fighterfly), also referred to as a firefly[1] or bee,[2] is a hopping insect that first appeared in the sewers of the original Mario Bros. arcade game. The name Fighter Fly is a pun on the fight-or-flight response.

History[edit]

Mario Bros. series[edit]

Mario Bros.[edit]

In Mario Bros., Fighter Flies are one of the myriad of pests that emerge from pipes to attack Mario and Luigi. They first appear in Phase 6 in international releases and Phase 7 in Japanese versions. After a Fighter Fly emerges, it hops across the floors. As such, Mario has to precisely time his jump when the Fighter Fly is on the ground to flip the creature over. If airborne, a Fighter Fly cannot be flipped over - not even if Mario uses the POW Block. Once flipped over, Mario has to run into the insect to clear it off the stage.

In early iterations of the game, their design features large toothy scowls and shiny eyes, but their design was redone for the multiplayer mode of the Super Mario All-Stars version of Super Mario Bros. 3. Their design in this title has large white eyes with black pupils, while their scowls are replaced with small closed mouths, their heads are a light orange color, and they have noses. This design is further developed in Mario Bros. for Game Boy Advance , which also gives them three colors and speeds depending on how many times they have been flipped over, like the other target enemies have.

Mario Bros. Special[edit]

In Mario Bros. Special, 1984 semi-sequel by Hudson Soft, Fighterflies can only be stunned if it is only a trampoline or conveyor belt that is being bounced on by Mario or Luigi. They first appear in Phase 9.

Punch Ball Mario Bros.[edit]

In Punch Ball Mario Bros., the other sequel by Hudson Soft, Fighterflies can be flipped over by hitting the POW Block while it is on the ground or having a Punch Ball thrown at them. If they recover or become the last target enemy on stage, they will turn green and move faster. They first appear in Phase 6.

Super Mario Bros. Special[edit]

In Super Mario Bros. Special, Fighterflies, named Nakaji, appear in five levels. They are presumably named after Tomohiko Nakajima, one of the three staff members responsible for naming new enemies. He also made the end credits, which is the only place where the name appears. While it is not possible to stomp them, they can be defeated by any other method, including with a Hummer.

Super Mario series[edit]

Super Mario Land[edit]

In Super Mario Land, Fighterflies are simply named Flies[3][4] and are seen in the Birabuto Kingdom of Sarasaland. In this game, they hop towards Mario, just like in Mario Bros. Some of them spawn in midair and hop downward when scrolled on-screen instead of appearing simply on the ground. Kumos from the Easton Kingdom attack in the same manner as Flies. They can simply be jumped on or be shot with a Superball to be defeated. Flies award Mario with 400 points when he defeats them. They are only found in World 1-1 and World 1-3 where, in the latter, one poses as Princess Daisy.

Super Mario 3D World / Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury[edit]

Fighter Flies appear in Luigi Bros., an additional game featured in Super Mario 3D World. Like the other enemies in Luigi Bros., Fighter Flies behave in the same way as in Mario Bros., which this game is based on.

Super Mario Maker[edit]

A Mystery Mushroom costume, designed after Fighter Fly, can be unlocked in Super Mario Maker (after the version 1.20 update) by completing the hard version of Gnat Attack. When performing a jump as Fighter Fly, the player can hear the high-pitched noise this enemy made in the original Mario Bros. If the player presses +Control Pad up while playing as Fighter Fly, it will turn into a Freezie, which is a foe that also debuted in Mario Bros.

Super Mario (Kodansha manga)[edit]

In Super Mario Land, Fighter Flies, depicted like giant anthropomorphic flies (with compound eyes and proboscis), are met in Birabuto Kingdom. One attaches itself onto Mekakuribō, who is actually Princess Peach in disguise, making her yell in disgust when the enemy starts slurping with its mouth. Mario quickly defeats it. When Daisy is rescued from King Totomesu, she jumps at Mario and starts to kiss him, only to reveal she was a Fighter Fly in disguise, making Mario gag.

Super Mario-kun[edit]

In Super Mario-kun, Fighter Flies appear in volume 3 alongside other Super Mario Land enemies. One of them is the second enemy to damage Mario, via biting. Later, Mario grabs a Super Star and defeats them alongside the other enemies.

Another Flighter Fly also appears in chapter 9 of volume 9, which takes place in a Mario Bros. styled arena where Mario, Luigi and Yoshi are trapped. It does not play any important role.

Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga / Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions[edit]

In Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, they make a reappearance in Stardust Fields, the border between the Mushroom Kingdom and the Beanbean Kingdom. To attack, a Fighter Fly hops towards Mario or Luigi and tries to bump into the plumber. The heroes can jump to avoid the attack.

The Fighter Flies are orange with blue hands and feet, pink antennae, small wings, and have large green squinting eyelids. In Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions, their feet are pink instead of light blue.

Mario and Luigi also encounter a stronger version of the Fighter Fly, the Super Fly, in the basement of Beanbean Castle.

In the remake's Minion Quest mode, a Fighter Fly makes a cameo as the first audition for Popple's new "Rookie," a position which Birdo ends up receiving.

Mario Power Tennis[edit]

Fighter Flies appear as obstacles on the Mario Classic Court in Mario Power Tennis, in a flat 8-bit model form. Like other enemies, they will walk around on the court, obstructing a player's movements. An unused 3D model for a Fighter Fly can be found in the game's files, heavily based off their design from the Mario Bros. remake in Super Mario All-Stars.

Super Smash Bros. for Wii U[edit]

A trophy of Fighter Flies appears in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. Unlike the other Mario Bros. trophies, this trophy uses sprites from the NES version instead of the arcade version.

Other appearances[edit]

Fighterflies are programmable sprites in the Playbox BASIC and Family BASIC accessories for the Family Computer. They make a cameo in the Playbox BASIC's Biorhythm Board. They appear as enemies in shooter mini-games in the Data Recorder's cassette and Family BASIC V3.

Fighter Flies are present in NES Remix as enemies and level objectives in some of the challenges and remixes based on Mario Bros.

Profiles and statistics[edit]

Super Mario Land[edit]

  • Instruction booklet: This blood-sucking fly is always flying around. You can defeat it down by jumping on it.
  • 3DS Virtual Console manual: This creature is always buzzing around. Defeat it by stomping on it from above.

Random
An enemy from the original Mario Bros. Just as the name implies, they are flies that gracefully move across the stage. They jump to move around, so hit them from below when they land. Unlike other enemies, these pests get faster after recovering from being flipped, rather than when only one is left. Be careful! (American English)
These pests come from the original Mario Bros. The name might make them sound tough, but these guys are actually kind of elegant and graceful. It's best to wait until they're on solid ground, then bop 'em from underneath to flip them over. If they get back up, though, watch out – they'll start gracefully leaping around a bit faster. (British English)
