'''Podoboos''' (sometimes called '''Sparkies''' or even '''Fire Bubbles''') are living [[fireball]]s that emerge from [[lava]]. They are commonly depicted as a large fireball with two black eyes or also as only a large fireball. Podoboos mainly appear in the [[Mario]] platformers but occasionally appear in several Mario sub-series, such as the [[Mario Party (series)|''Mario Party'' series]], the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' series]], and the [[Paper Mario (series)|''Paper Mario'' series]]. In most games, Podoboos are nearly invincible, only being able to be destroyed by using a [[Star]], [[Gold Flower]], [[Hammer Mario|Hammer Suit]], [[Penguin Suit]], or an [[Ice Flower]].
 
Line 33 ⟶ 30:
 
====''New Super Mario Bros.''====
[[Image:Podoboo NSMB.jpg|thumb|right|A Podoboo]]
In ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', Podoboos appear as enemies in the [[World 1 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 1]] and [[World 4 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 4 castles]] and in [[World 8 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 8-5]] acting like they do in ''Super Mario Bros.'' and taking a similar look.
 
Line 41 ⟶ 39:
[[File:PodoNSMBW.png|thumb|left]]
[[Image:PodobooNSMBWii.png|thumb|170px|Three Podoboos from ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''.]]
In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', Podoboos appear in many [[boss]] castles, acting like they did in ''New Super Mario Bros.''. They could commonly be found in [[World 8 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 8]] as an enemy. They have eyes in this game, having a similar appearance to the ''Super Mario World'' Podoboos. Additionally, the Podoboos can be defeated by using an [[Ice Flower]]'s or [[Penguin Suit]]'s [[Ice Ball]]s, or by running into one while using a [[Star]]. They first appear in [[Roy Koopa|Roy]]'s Castle in World 2 right at the beginning; they continue to appear in the castles of [[World 5 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 5]], [[World 6 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 6]] and [[World 8 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 8]]. They are also found as enemies in the World 8 Enemy Course. As of this game, Podoboos will do a flip before landing back in the lava, and resemble a roundish jellyfish/octopus rather than just a fireball.

Line 66 ⟶ 64:
 
====''Super Mario 3D World / Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury''====
[[File:SM3DWLavaBubble.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Podoboos in ''Super Mario 3D World'']]
Podoboos reappear in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' where they act just like they did in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]''. Returning from ''[[Super Princess Peach]]'' are the [[Blue Podoboo]]s that also appear in levels with blue lava.
 
====''Super Mario Maker'' / ''Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS / Super Mario Maker 2''====
Podoboos reappear in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS]]''. They can be set to come out of [[Warp Pipe]]s and [[? Block]]s, or be produced by [[Bill Blaster]]s and [[Lakitu]]s. Giving one wings will make it fly diagonally like the [[Zigzag Podoboo]]s from ''[[Super Mario World]]''. Additionally, while under the effects of a [[Big Mushroom]], Podoboos seem to resemble [[Lava Drop]]s from [[Yoshi (franchiseseries)|''Yoshi'' franchiseseries]] games. In these games, Podoboos are referred to as '''Lava Bubbles'''. Similarly, the [[Blurp]] is referred to as the [[Cheep Cheep]].
 
====''Super Mario Run''====
Vertically leaping Podoboos appear in Castle levels in ''[[Super Mario Run]]''. Otherwise indestructible, they can only be defeated when the player is under the effect of a [[Super Star]]. Each supplies players with a +3 coin bonus when in [[Toad Rally]]. A subspecies called [[Poison Podoboo]] also appears. Instead of leaping from lava, this creature leaps out from poisonous swamps.
 
====''Super Mario Odyssey''====
Line 80 ⟶ 77:
 
===''Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyushutsu Dai Sakusen!''===
 
{{Non-Canon}}
Podoboos make a brief appearance in ''[[Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyushutsu Dai Sakusen!]]'', when the [[Goomba]]s pull a switch which sends [[Mario]] and [[Kibidango]] onto platforms that move up and down over lava; it is at this point where Podoboos began attacking them both, trying to knock the heroes into the lava below. Fortunately for Mario and Kibidango, [[Luigi]] accidentally breaks a hole in the ceiling while looking for [[Coin]]s; the room above is filled with water, so the hole that Luigi creates starts a flood in the area, presumably killing the Podoboos.

}}
In ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'',similar Podoboos (referredcalled to as '''[[Sparky|Sparkies''' in this game]]) can be encountered in the [[Pipe Vault]], harassing [[Mario]] and others by blocking their path through the sewer system. In battle, they hover in the air.
 
In battle, a Sparky attacks by spinning its body into one of Mario's party members. A Sparky can also use the special attack [[Drain]], which allows the flame creature to shoot a small fire orb at a party member. Needless to say, fire magic is ineffective against Sparkies. However, despite being made of fire, Mario can surprisingly use [[jump]] attacks on Sparkies. Sparkies typically fight in groups of one to three.
Line 131 ⟶ 129:
|moves = Dash (2X10)
}}
Podoboos also make their ''Paper Mario'' debut in ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]'' for the Nintendo 3DS replacing the [[Lava Bubble]]s from previous (non-canon) installments. However, they only appear in the stage [[Bowser's Sky Castle]], during the third phase of the Bowser battle. As soon as Mario approaches Bowser in a lava-filled area of the final hallway, the Podoboos can be seen jumping up and down in the lava. When it is Bowser's turn to attack, he lifts his pointer finger in the air, and ten Podoboos are sent towards Mario. They each deal two points of damage to Mario. Only the first Podoboo can be blocked, but Mario is helpless against the nine that follow. However, they have a weakness.
 
The only way to harm the Podoboos is with a Thing Sticker with cold or freezing properties. An example of one such sticker is the Refrigerator. After using the chilly Sticker, the Podoboos are frozen. Using a wind Thing Sticker like the [[Fan]] make Bowser and the Podoboos fly in the air. Bowser falls, and all 10 Podoboos will fall on Bowser doing 10 damage each. However, more Podoboos will spawn after a few turns. In this game, the Podoboos more closely resemble their visual appearances in ''Mario'' platformers, as opposed to that of previous ''Paper Mario'' games.
Line 143 ⟶ 141:
There is also a [[Big Podoboo]] in [[Redpepper Crater]] that serves as a mini-boss. A [[Shy Guy]] translates what he says to Mario while battling and when confronting him.
 
 
====''Paper Mario: The Origami King''====
Though no Podoboos appear in the ''[[Paper Mario: The Origami King]]'', [[Paper Macho Podoboo]]s appear in the game as one of the many [[Paper Macho Soldier]]s deployed by [[King Olly]].
 
===''Mario Party'' series===
Line 172 ⟶ 173:
 
====''Mario Party 9''====
Some Podoboos jump off the magma in [[Magma Mine]]. A [[Mini Star]] constellation based on them can be found at the Museum, thistheir timeconstellation alsoin calledthe simplysky is called '''Fireballs'''.
 
====''Mario Party: Island Tour''====
Line 185 ⟶ 186:
====''Mario Party: The Top 100''====
The [[Heat Stroke]] minigame returns in ''[[Mario Party: The Top 100]]'', where the roles of Podoboos are identical to those in ''[[Mario Party 5]]''.
 
====''Mario Party Superstars''====
Podoboos return in ''[[Mario Party Superstars]]'' in the returning minigame [[Hot Rope Jump]] with the same rules as ''[[Mario Party 2]]''. Once again contestants must jump over the Podoboos 20 times and the game will continue until either one contestant remains or the Podoboos have been jumped over 20 times.
 
===''Mario Golf'' (Nintendo 64)===
Line 192 ⟶ 196:
[[File:Podoboomss.PNG|thumb|left|200px|Podoboos in ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga''.]]
In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'', they appeared as obstacles in a side-scrolling area in [[Bowser's Castle]].
{{br}}
===''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions''===
[[Image:Podoboo DX.PNG|thumb|right|200px|Podoboos as seen in ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions''.]]
Podoboos return in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]'' behaving the same as they did in the original. They once again only appear in Bowser's Castle however this time, they now have eyes.
{{br}}
 
===''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'' series===
Line 202 ⟶ 211:
 
===''Mario Superstar Baseball''===
A sub-species of Podoboos called [[Fiery Bubble]]s reappear in this game, but only in [[Bowser's Castle]]. First they would jump out of the lava pond and then they would land on the player and cause them to lose the ball. The players themselves would catch on fire and run around for a second, disallowing control over them.
 
===''Mario Kart'' series===
[[Image:Podoboo MKW.jpg|thumb|left|60px|A Podoboo in ''Mario Kart Wii'']]
''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' features Podoboo as well. Most of them are located in [[Desert Hills]], being shot down by [[Angry Sun]]. Podoboos appear as enemies in the [[Grumble Volcano]] course of ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', and on various [[Bowser's Castle]] courses throughout the entire series. While in most courses, they jump out of [[lava]] and then fall back down, at Grumble Volcano, the large pieces of rock from the volcano hit the ground to become massive Podoboos. In the ''Mario Kart Wii'' remake of Desert Hills, Podoboos return.
 
===''Super Princess Peach''===
[[File:SPPPodoboo.png|frame]]
In ''[[Super Princess Peach]]'', they could be encountered in [[Fury Volcano]] and [[Bowser's Villa]] where they behave in the same manner as in previous games. There is also a blue variant of the fiery enemies called the [[Blue Podoboo]]. These ones appear in torches with blue fire in [[Bowser's Villa]], and when [[Princess Peach]] approaches a torch, a blue Podoboo appears and slowly chases after her (Peach must lead them to the unlit torches). The reason why they appear is to light unlit torches to open up doorways.
