In ''[[VS. Wrecking Crew]]'' and ''[[Wrecking Crew]]'', a red fireball will appear if too much time is spent in one place. It behaves like the green fireballs of ''[[Mario Bros. (game)|Mario Bros.]]'' but with a simpler wavy pattern. Careful positioning can allow the fireball to fly harmlessly over Mario or Luigi's head. The in-game manual of the ''[[Arcade Archives]]'' release of ''VS. Wrecking Crew'' classifies fireballs as characters.<ref>''Arcade Archives VS.

===''Hotel Mario''=== | |||
In ''[[Hotel Mario]]'', balls of fire appear in [[Bowser's Seizures Palace Hotel]]. They are preceded by a match-striking sound, and then dart from one end of a floor to another horizontally. In certain stages, more than one ball can appear at once. If they appear on the same floor as the player, the player can duck underneath them or hide into a door to avoid them. Alternatively, if the player is [[Fire Mario]], they can shoot a fireball at one of them, which will make them stop spawning for the remainder of the hotel. | |||
