A Fire Flower as it appeared in New Super Mario Bros.
A Fire Flower is an item in the Mario Series that first appeared in the game Super Mario Bros. for the NES. Certain blocks containing Super Mushrooms would instead reveal Fire Flowers if Mario was in Super Mario form. The Fire Flower allows Mario to hurl fireballs out of his hand which bounce along the path until it hits a barrier. It can defeat minor enemies with one hit, like Goombas and Koopas. However, the fireballs cannot always annihilate major bosses with a single hit as it usually requires multiple strikes to obliterate them.
It also appears in the Super Smash Bros. series. One of Mario's moves lets him shoot out fireballs and the Fire Flower appears as a flamethrower style item.
The latest appearance of the Fire Flower was in New Super Mario Bros. Wii.

In Super Mario Bros., it transformed Mario into Fire Mario, changing his garb and enabling him to throw fireballs."
