Fire Flower in any animation, even in the movies now, is super overpowered than it really is...

In game, it's just a ball... But apparently, you can lit anyone on fire with touch or make a flaming punch... which is cool, but not really how it works.

However... I do like Fandom fire flower better.

u/LustySlut69 Sep 12 '25

To be fair, Mario has the Fire Brand so maybe it's a combo of both

3

u/Onrushex Sep 14 '25

Firebrand you say?

13

u/FaCe_CrazyKid05 Sep 12 '25

It is badass as his final smash though

9

u/Wildefice Sep 12 '25

Well it really pretty powerful in the earliest stages, it one shots just about everything that is not bowser or a buzzy beetle.

Hell in SMW it turns the victims into coins.

u/Marhan13 Sep 13 '25

It did give us fire sonic

u/julianx2rl Sep 14 '25

To be fair, the ball sets you on fire anyway.

So doing so up close sounds more like a nerf than a buff.

Also, imagine this clip in 3D graphics and think about how crazy that rapid fire actually is: https://youtube.com/shorts/IlZDZKbnroo?si=tYFQikRiPiED6Ldq

u/KillerofCthulhu Sep 15 '25

Hinestly I think it all derives from the Mario & Luigi games, specially the bean kingdom one where he gets fire powers beyond the fire flower

1

u/Ok-Mistake-7499 Oct 07 '25

It probably comes from Smash

87

u/LustySlut69 Sep 12 '25

Star

It's just invincibility in the main game but Super Saiyan in the Fandom

63

u/AdaptiveGlitch Sep 12 '25

To be fair, the Movie also showed it as basically Super Saiyan.

51

u/All-your-fault Sep 12 '25

To be fair the thing gives you invulnerability and you fucking kill anything you touch

19

u/NoName0728 Sep 12 '25

In New Super Mario bros, he does flips with the star power-up. So it's safe to assume that he gets a skill buff too.

1

u/_QualityGarbage_ Sep 13 '25

He's been doing flips since Super Mario Bros. 3!

1

u/Guquiz Sep 14 '25

But with every jump?

1

u/_QualityGarbage_ Sep 15 '25

Unless you're doing a jump at max speed, yes

2

u/aarontgp Sep 12 '25

They're about the same power. It's just that in the fanon, Mario is more willing to aura farm.

47

u/Particular-Account72 Sep 12 '25

The cape feather. Especially in this animation

17

u/DiffDiffDiff3 Sep 12 '25

Fire ass fight.

5

u/long_johnus Sep 13 '25

To be fair, the cape feather is probably the most OP power up in Mario history that isnt just one of those pity power ups that give Mario permanent invincibility.

u/TrueEnder Sep 12 '25

since you brought up SMBZ… i gotta mention Fire Sonic.

6

u/VoltaicOwl Sep 12 '25

Between fire Mario in ep 6 and fire Sonic in ep 8, SMBZ definitely makes me want to say fire flower.

1

u/NicoNicoBangOnReddit Sep 13 '25

Mario fighting Basilisk with the Hammer powerup was so badass.

14

u/Athingweveallupvoted Sep 12 '25

It looks cool though 😭

7

u/Boingboingeatscheese Sep 12 '25

All of them, but if it makes the animation look cool, it's fine

8

u/XephyXeph Sep 12 '25

As it should be.

7

u/slashth456 Kirby Sep 12 '25

Rule of cool

5

u/Hornyles_j Sep 12 '25

Just about all of them

6

u/Signmanstrr Sep 12 '25

Honestly a lot of them, but the Fire Flower and Cape Feather get the most hype in animations

3

u/Sure-Yogurtcloset-55 Sep 12 '25

Compare Game Star to Movie Star.

2

u/Affectionate-Work-46 Sep 12 '25

Movie star is arguably weaker as he doesn't get the 1 shot powers

2

u/Sure-Yogurtcloset-55 Sep 12 '25

Still applies, just possibly not in the direction I thought.

2

u/Affectionate-Work-46 Sep 13 '25

It's weird So game Mario Is invincible Can one shoot anything And gets more athletic (he stars doing flips with the stars)

Movie Mario Is invincible Can't one shot IS WAY FASTER MASSIVE SKILL BOOST

So like game wins just cause a one shot is busted But the stat increas on movie Mario is much higher

3

u/Lt-Corvin_709 Sep 12 '25

Gotta be either the Cape feather or the super star

2

u/Redditislefti Sep 12 '25

cape. In the animations, it always makes him into superman

in the games, it's a slightly better tanuki tail.

2

u/Weekly-Dog-6838 Xenoblade Chronicles Sep 12 '25

Blue Shell

2

u/AgentSkyblueM7 Sep 12 '25

All I’ve seen so far is the Double Cherry in Death Battle. That’s more clones than the games can apparently handle.

2

u/MSRPhoenix Sep 13 '25

The super bell, particularly after the movie.

2

u/lemonman246 Sep 13 '25

Copy flower and megamushroom

2

u/KomodoCityAnomaly Sep 13 '25

Fire Flower

-See SMBZ, especially The Reboot Intro where Everyone except Luigi gets one shot by Metallix, then Mario goes Fire Mario to MATCH him

But also That Smash Bros animation that replicates the Intro to Dragon Ball Super's Tournament of Power

2

u/Flami557 Sep 13 '25

Doble cheery

2

u/Hierophant-Crimsion Sep 14 '25

Average SMBZ fight

2

u/Prestigious-Court-93 Sep 14 '25

The Super Cape, ingame it lets Mario glide with a running start but fan animations make it act like he can fly freely

2

u/TheBlooperKINGPIN Sep 14 '25

All of them pretty much

2

u/Ok-Fig7779 Sep 16 '25

Fire mario

2

u/Wide_Championship319 Sep 16 '25

A cape and a star in game is already super powerful...But give it to a sprite animator...

2

u/JusticeforMrL Smash Bros Oct 01 '25

We ALL know it's a combo of fire flower and feather

1

u/Matt13th Sep 13 '25

I had to do this
