Besides Mario and Luigi, other characters have also had fire variants of their own. [[Wario]] transforms into Fire Wario during his boss fight with Mario in ''[[Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins]]''. King Koopa uses a [[magic pendant]] in the ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' cartoon to shoot fire at Mario and his friends as Fire Koopa, in tandem with other power-up forms. In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', [[Blue Toad (character)|Blue Toad]] and [[Yellow Toad (character)|Yellow Toad]] gain fire forms, with Yellow Toad's bearing a color scheme resembling the [[Super Mushroom]]'s appearance in ''Super Mario Bros.'' and the [[Mega Mushroom]]. In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', [[Mii]]s can become "Fire Miis" as well, and [[Toadette]] can also use this form in [[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe|the ''Deluxe'' version]] and ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]''. In ''[[Nintendo Land]]'', if a Mii plays [[Yoshi's Fruit Cart]], the red Mii resembles Fire Mario and the green Mii resembles Fire Luigi without hats. In ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'', [[Toad]], [[Princess Peach]] and [[Rosalina]] all have fire variants, with Fire Toad's color scheme recycling the color scheme of Yellow Toad's ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' fire form.

Fire Mario's appearance in ''[[Super Mario World]]'' is the first time he appears in-game as depicted in artwork, with a white cap and shirt with red overalls, having the same fire form colors from ''Super Mario Bros.'', but with the colors reversed. Fire Luigi instead has green overalls, resembling Luigi's sprite colors from the NES version of ''[[Mario Bros. (game)|Mario Bros.]]'' as well as his in-game sprite from ''Super Mario Bros.'', but with the shirt and overall colors reversed. This marks the first time that Fire Luigi is colored differently than Fire Mario. They also throw two fireballs at either side of themselves when using the new [[Spin Jump]] move. ''Super Mario World''  is also the first game where enemies defeated by fireballs release [[coin]]s, which is a trait that becomes common in later games of the ''Super Mario'' series. However, if the coins are not collected, the enemies respawn if Mario or Luigi leaves and revisits the area. This is the first game where Fire Flowers allow Small Mario and Luigi to skip the Super form to turn to Fire form. Unlike in western releases of ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', however, getting hit in Fire form reverts Mario and Luigi into their Small forms similar to the original game.

Fire Mario and Fire Luigi make their 3D platformer debut in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', found in the [[Freezeflame Galaxy]], [[Dusty Dune Galaxy]] and [[Deep Dark Galaxy]], with a few changes: the form is time-limited instead of being lost by taking damage (which means Mario can be hit and still retain this form), and while Mario can shoot more than two fireballs at a time, he and cannot do so underwater. Mario also stops in place while shooting fireballs, but can aim their direction. Shaking {{button|wii|Wiimote}} causes Fire Mario to throw fireballs, replacing the [[spin]] move. A special arrangement plays for Fire Mario/Luigi's duration, which speeds up until the form expires. The theme also faintly includes the [[Super Star]] [[Super Star (theme)|theme]] playing. This theme also has a variant for Ice Mario/Luigi's form.

In Freezeflame Galaxy, Fire Mario is used in the second mission [[Freezeflame's Blistering Core]], in the [[Freezeflame_Galaxy#Lava_Core_Planet|Lava Core Planet]]. After finding a [[? Coin]] in front of a closed gate, Mario can use a Fire Flower that spawns besides torches. Fire Mario can then defeat [[Ground Urchin]]s, which are otherwise immune to Mario's normal attacks, as well as more easily destroy the [[crate]]s scattered in the level. Fire Mario can then light torches in various parts of the level; the gate behind the ? Coin can be opened if Fire Mario lights a torch next to it. After torches are lit, Mario can be damaged by the fire, however. After the gate is opened, Fire Mario can more easily reach two unlit torches and activate them to spawn a staircase that allows him to flip upside-down and reach the next area. Mario encounters an upward slope with several Red Urchins, a cranny that spawns Red Urchins and crates, but there is a Fire Flower in a [[bubble]]. Fire Mario is needed to light two of the four torches; fireballs can travel over lava to reach more distant torches. After those torches are lit, a wall moves up to reveal a Wall Jumping area. The final area in the mission have Li'l Cinders, moving platforms, unlit torches, and a Fire Flower in a bubble. There is a Power Star behind a gate, so Fire Mario must be used to light two more torches, which opens the gate and retracts a platform Mario can run on to get the Power Star.

Fire Mario is found in the first mission of Slipsand Galaxy, [[Squizzard's Sandy Sinkhole]] and the [[Prankster Comet|daredevil variation]] [[Squizzard's Daredevil Run]]. Lighting the two torches in the [[Slipsand Galaxy#Sandy Fall Planet|Sandy Fall Planet]] spawns a 1-Up Mushroom. Fire Mario is also required to defeat [[Squizzard]], and the fight features a unique arrangement of the Fire Mario theme that overrides Squizzard's own battle theme. If Squizzard opens its mouth, fireballs can stun it, and Fire Mario can inflict one round of damage after throwing four more fireballs.

In ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]'', Fire Mario and Fire Luigi function as in ''Super Mario 3D Land''. Additionally, due to multiplayer returning, characters can throw fireballs when picked up. This time, [[Toad]], [[Princess Peach|Peach]], and [[Rosalina]] can also use this form. Toad's colors become similar to Fire Yellow Toad (with a red-spotted yellow mushroom cap and red vest), although his pants do not change color. Peach's dress turns white, while the panniers, collar, and hem are red, similar to her sprite in ''Super Mario Bros.'', while her hair gets tied back in a ponytail with a red hairband rather than blue. Rosalina's dress becomes a solid red with white dress hem, top flap, and sleeve frills, and she also has her hair tied back in a ponytail with a red hairband; in addition, her crown adopts a brighter color and her earrings turn red. A [[List of stamps in Super Mario 3D World|stamp]] of Fire Mario is available  in [[Fort Fire Bros.]] while Fire Peach's stamp can be collected in [[Double Cherry Pass]].

The Fire form reappears in ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]''. New to the series, Fire Mario can throw fireballs while [[Crouch|ducking]]. Additionally, when shooting two consecutive fireballs, Fire Mario alternates his hands. Fire Peach is identical to her appearance in ''Super Mario 3D World'', except her hair is not in a ponytail, resembling her "fire" costume in ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]'' and her seventh alternate costume from ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' / ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U|Wii U]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''.

This game also introduces a Fire form for [[Princess Daisy|Daisy]]. Her dress turns white while the pannier and hems remain orange, and the floral collar and openings of the sleeves turn orange as well.

In ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'', this form is called '''Super Mario''' or '''Super Luigi''', since their actual Super forms are their regular forms. They resemble their appearances in ''Super Mario Bros.'' and the later ''Super Mario All-Stars'' and ''Deluxe'' versions (in Luigi's case). Unlike in the games, the forms are given from not only Fire Flowers, but also [[Super Star|Starmen]], a [[magic doodad]], [[Excalibur]], and at one point, a [[Royal Plug|shock from a high voltage]]. In some instances, the form itself is referred as '''Fire Power''', a name carried over into the two following series. As well as granting the Mario Bros. the ability to shoot fireballs, the form sometimes endows them with extra strength, speed, the ability to fly, and sometimes a temporary size increase before transforming. Mario is also seen transforming into this form in the intro. Also, during the transformation sequence, Mario and Luigi are shown in one frame with an outfit resembling their current color schemes since ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', but with a blue hat.

'''Super Princess''' changes Toadstool's dress to red, blue and white. While she is not seen to throw fireballs, she has increased strength and can easily defeat enemies, similar to the corresponding Fire forms of Mario, Luigi, and Toad.

*'''[[The Trojan Koopa]]''': Super Princess appears in this episode, a "super" form equal to what Fire Flowers or Starmen grant to Mario and Luigi, though Super Princess is not seen to throw fireballs. When the captive Princess Toadstool makes a wish, it is granted by a falling star. Catching the star, she transforms. "Princess T." frees herself by breaking the chain around her ankle. When the Hammer Brothers toss hammers at her, she catches the hammers and throws them back to destroy the Brothers' tent. She charges over the Shy Guys in her way, defeating them.

*'''[[Elvin Lives]]''': After crashing their car during a car chase with King Koopa, Mario, Luigi, Princess Toadstool, and Toad come across Fire Flowers in a field. Using the Flowers to transform, Super Mario and Super Luigi throw fireballs to fend off Goombas attacking on motorbikes. Super Mario and Super Luigi use their super-powered jumps to catch up to King Koopa, and while Super Luigi distracts their foe, Super Mario commandeers his car briefly to send it off a cliff and crash it.
