Like in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', they can fall into an abyss and reappear up to two times after a few seconds.

Fire Snakes reappear in the game ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', acting like they did in ''New Super Mario Bros.'', but with a new ability. After several hops, their heads enlarge, then go back to normal size. They only appear in [[World 2-3 (New Super Mario Bros.

Fire Snakes reappear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'' acting exactly as in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''. They have their own level called [[Fire Snake Cavern]] located in [[Layer-Cake Desert]] in which they are very common alongside the [[Fire Bro]]s, and can now be eaten by any [[Baby Yoshi]]. Fire Snakes are also pushed back if Mario uses a [[Glowing Baby Yoshi]]. Fire Snakes also appear in ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'', where they appear infrequently in [[Light-Up-Lift Tower]]. Both roles are reprised in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe]]''. | Fire Snakes reappear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'' acting exactly as in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''.

In ''[[Double Trouble (book)|Double Trouble]]'', a swarm of Firesnakes can be encountered in the [[Koopahari Desert]] if Mario decides to take a shortcut to Fort Koopa. Depending on how an accompanying puzzle is solved, Mario either dodges and escapes them, or is sent running after being singed twice, losing his [[Super Mushroom]] in the process. Far fewer Firesnakes can be encountered on the main road to Fort Koopa, and Mario can easily avoid them. | In ''[[Double Trouble (book)|Double Trouble]]'', a swarm of Firesnakes can be encountered in the [[Koopahari Desert]] if Mario decides to take a shortcut to Fort Koopa.

In ''[[Yoshi's Safari]]'', only two Firesnakes appear as mini-bosses. They are defeated by blasting them repeatedly with the [[Super Scope]]. Unlike other appearances, they are composed of a string of blue [[Lava Bubble]]s in this game, and instead of jumping, wind around rapidly like an actual snake. | In ''[[Yoshi's Safari]]'', only two Firesnakes appear as mini-bosses.

Unlike other appearances, they are composed of a string of blue [[Lava Bubble|Podoboo]]s in this game, and instead of jumping, wind around rapidly like an actual snake, albeit through the air. They are destroyed one segment at a time, with each becoming a normal orange Podoboo and leaping at Yoshi upon taking enough damage. | ||

In all of their appearances, if a racer drives into a Fire Snake, their [[kart]] briefly spins out. Fire Snakes first appear in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', on [[DS Desert Hills|Desert Hills]], where they are fired from the [[Angry Sun]] in the sky and hop along the track for a short time. The Fire Snakes in this game do not have eyes. In ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', aside from returning in {{classic|DS|Desert Hills}}, Fire Snakes also appear in [[Wii Grumble Volcano|Grumble Volcano]], where they near the end hopping out of pipes on the side of the course.

*Fire Snakes were written into the desert sequence of the ''[[Super Mario Bros. (film)|Super Mario Bros.]]'' film, but were cut for unknown reasons. Scripts state that they "''[...]resemble moray eels, their mouths filled with pointed piranha-like teeth,''" and that "''They gnaw through the skin, burrow into the body cavities, and lay their larvae. It can take weeks for the host to die.''" Earlier scripts had given this description to "Sand Eels" which similarly did not appear in the final product. In the final cut, a neon sign labeled "Fire Snake" can be seen during the establishing shot of [[Dinohattan]]. | *Fire Snakes were written into the desert sequence of the ''[[Super Mario Bros.
