A Fighter Fly (also spelled Fighterfly , and referred to as a bee ) is a hopping insect which debuted in the Mario Bros. arcade game.
Profile [ ]
Physical description [ ]
In early versions of Mario Bros. as well as the Battle Game included in the original Super Mario Bros. 3 , the designs for Fighter Flies feature large toothy scowls and shiny eyes. In their artwork associated with game, Fighter Flies wear blue masks around their eyes.
A Fighter Fly's design was reworked for the Battle Game in the Super Mario All-Stars remake of Super Mario Bros. 3 . Here, they have large, white eyes with black pupils, while their scowls have been replaced with small closed mouths. Their heads are a light orange color, and they have noses. In Classic Mario Bros. , Fighter Flies were given further enhancements to their design, including additional colors and speeds depending on how many times they have been flipped over.
Behavior [ ]
Instead of walking, a Fighter Fly bounces around to move from one place to another. In Mario Bros. , a Fighter Fly makes a ringing sound before one of them enters a stage.
Fighter Flies are first encountered in Phase 6 (or Phase 7 in the Japanese version). Upon emerging from a pipe, a Fighter Fly slowly hops across a platform, and Mario or Luigi have to jump underneath a Fighter Fly while it is in on the floor to defeat it. Defeating a Fighter Fly earns the player 800 points .
Remakes [ ]
Fighter Flies also make an appearance in Luigi Bros. . Like other enemies, they retain their behavior from Mario Bros. , which Luigi Bros. is based off of.
They also appear in NES Remix , serving as enemies and level objectives for some of the challenges and remixes that are based on Mario Bros. .
Mario can find the Fly [1] (フーライ , Fūrai ? , Fly) in Birabuto Kingdom . Flies move the same way in Mario Bros. , which is by hopping their way toward Mario. Defeating a Fly earns the player 400 points .
Fighter Flies are also common enemies in the Stardust Fields Beanbean Side location. They have 6 HP in Bowser's Minions , but 5 HP in Superstar Saga . They attack Mario and Luigi very slowly. Not only are there Fighter Flies but there are similar enemies called Super Flies . These Flies have a better speed than the Fighter Fly and attack at a higher movement.
Fighter Flies make an appearance as obstacles in the minigame Mario Classic Court .
Crossover appearances [ ]
Fighter Flies appear as a trophy . It shows a few Fighter Flies with their sprite from Mario Bros. for the Nintendo Entertainment System, although the trophy has the singular name of Fighter Fly.
