Fire Bars were also given notable appearances in certain [[castle]]s of ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', which depicted them as swinging three-dimensionally. A three-dimensional Fire Bar depicted with eyes also appeared in [[Waluigi Stadium]] and [[Bowser's Castle (course)|Bowser's Castle]] course of ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]''.

In ''[[Paper Mario]]'', the Fire Bars reappear in [[Koopa Bros. Fortress]] and [[Mt. Lavalava]]; this time they swing sideways. They also swing either clockwise or counter-clockwise. If Mario touches one, he loses some HP, but if Mario's partner touches one, nothing happens. [[Jump]]ing over one of these Fire Bars causes it to swing faster. If Mario dodges one ten times, it will vanish and drop a number of [[coin]]s. This is the first appearance in which Fire Bars can be destroyed.

 

====''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''====

In ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', they reappear in Bowser's third platform level. Here, they can be defeated by Bowser's firebreath. If Bowser come in contact with the fireballs, they can either decrease his size or defeat him (if he's tiny). They also appear in the [[Palace of Shadow]] and have the same behavior as they do in ''Paper Mario''.

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' / ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U|Wii U]]'', Fire Bars (under the name '''Fire Bar''') appear as an item. Once picked up, characters can attack others by swinging them, similar to the [[Beam Sword]], although it is fairly powerful. However, every two hits from a Fire Bar causes it to lose a fireball, including blocked hits, shortening it in range. The fireballs closer to the base, however, deal more damage. Fire Bars reappear as items in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''.

 

===''Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam''===

In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'', Fire Bars appear in the [[Trio Whirligig]] minigame in the [[Arcade (Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam)|Arcade]] as obstacles. They are made up of two to seven bars, and touching one causes the minigame to end.
