Fireball (Mario)

Fireball is Mario's Neutral Special in Super Smash Bros. Battlers. He shoots a fireball, which travels a short distance before fizziling out. It deals 5% damage

Origin:
Although fireballs themselves appeared in Mario Bros. as hazards, the act of shooting fireballs originated in the 1985 NES game, Super Mario Bros., where the ability was obtained after collecting a Fire Flower. The power is lost when the player dies or takes damage. In the game, fireballs were small, traveled very quickly, and did not stop until hitting something.
