List of Contents

Fire Flower Item Effect

Fire Multiple Projectiles

Fire Flower Fire Flower
Effect For a while, each press of the L Button throws a fireball. Karts hit by a fireball will spin.

You can use the Fire Flower multiple times, launching a single fireball with each button press. Enemies hit by the fireball will spin for a short time before regaining control. Although not as powerful as the Ice Flower, the Fire Flower can still disable multiple targets.

Projectiles Can Only Be Fired for a Short Time

You can shoot projectiles until the item expires which begins as soon as you press the item button. The duration is shortened with each projectile fired, so try to make the most out of it.

Fire Flower Uses

Disabling Opponents Repeatedly

Opponents hit by the Fire Flower become immune to its effects for a short time, which ends a few moments after they spin. Should you wish to disable them again, you can hold off on using the Fire Flower until their brief immunity expires.

Great Defensive Option

Like most items, the Fire Flower can be fired backward by tilting the left stick down. With its unique ability to fire multiple projectiles, the Fire Flower is an excellent defensive tool. This allows you to defend yourself from various projectiles, such as green or red shells, with a single use of the item.

Item Changes

The Duration Is Now Indicated by the Icon

The entire duration of the Fire Flower can now be clearly seen by the color of the icon, which slowly changes over time. Players can easily track the remaining duration based on the icon, which allows them to make better decisions.

How to Deal With Fire Flower

Use Other Opponents as Cover

Since opponents using this item can launch multiple projectiles, single-use items such as shells may not suffice for blocking all Fire flower projectiles. Try using other opponents as cover to avoid getting hit.
