A '''Keronpa Ball''' (described as a "flame thrower"<ref>M. Arakawa. ''Super Mario 64'' Player's Guide. Pages 114 and 115.</ref> or "flame-thrower"<ref>''Nintendo Magazine System'' (AU) Issue #53, pages 44, 45, 48.</ref> generically) is an enemy found in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and its portable [[reissue|remake]], ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. Keronpa Balls are tiny black spheres that hover in place a tiny distance off the ground. In the DS remake, they appear identical to [[Flame Chomp|Fire Chomp]]s without the trail of fire behind them, and they fire at a much slower pace compared to in the original game. They usually line the edges of pathways. Keronpa Balls are motionless and harmless until the player character passes by, in which case they expand to about twice their size and shoot a tiny [[fireball]] that chases him for a short period of time before snuffing out. If hit by the flame, the player will run around uncontrollably while steadily losing three [[Health Meter|health]] wedges, although they will still be able to [[jump]]. In the DS version, [[Yoshi]] is capable of spitting out fire if he ingests a Keronpa Ball.

Variant of Flame Chomp

A flame thrower[1] (or flame-thrower)[2] is an enemy found in Super Mario 64 and Super Mario 64 DS. Flame throwers are tiny black spheres that hover in place a tiny distance off the ground. In the Nintendo DS remake, they appear identical to Fire Chomps without the trail of fire behind them, and they fire at a much slower pace compared to them in the original game. They usually line the edges of pathways. Flame throwers are motionless and harmless until the player character passes by, in which case they expand to about twice their size and shoot a tiny fireball that chases him for a short period of time before snuffing out. If hit by the flame, the player runs around uncontrollably while steadily losing three health wedges, although they are still able to jump. In the Nintendo DS version, Yoshi is capable of spitting out fire if he ingests a flame thrower.

Flame throwers appear in the following levels: Hazy Maze Cave; Shifting Sand Land; Dire, Dire Docks; Wet-Dry World; Tiny-Huge Island; Tick Tock Clock; and Rainbow Ride. They also appear in a few secret courses: Vanish Cap Under the Moat, Bowser in the Fire Sea, and Bowser in the Sky.

In Super Mario 64, there are two flame throwers in the downtown area of Wet-Dry World that, due to an error in the level design, do not spit fire. Even at its shallowest point, the water level in the area is high enough that the two flame throwers are submerged, rendering them harmless. Through the use of a water-raising/lowering glitch, the water can be lowered to an abnormal level, which activates them. These flame throwers were removed in Super Mario 64 DS.
