Mario vs. Plant!

Hehe, only a health bar and their name is missing above them, and then it would be like a Street Fighter-mod :D

Thank you! Good thinking! It's a good idea to add the illustration!

not sure but in the nes one did it look like it was a spit fireball?

But in the newer media, the animation shows that Fire Mario invokes a fireball and throws it like a grenade:

And have to admit, I like the way of drawing the fireball throw as hadouken - it underlines Mario's Japanese heritage. :)

That! The original resembles the throwing of a grenade or the launch of a baseball ball!
Thank you! At times I wanted to draw the character Mario throwing the fireball using the Hadouken technique used by Ken and Ryu in Street Fighter!

It was a fireball played with only one hand! Hadouken was my creation for illustration! It was an illustration that I wanted to do some time ago!
