If Mario or Luigi sticks around in one stage for too long, things start to heat up, literally. Two forms of fireballs appear, each with a distinct color and behavior. The red fireballs are slow and bounce around diagonally all around the board. If they hit one side of the screen, they ricochet off the side and keep going. On the other hand green fireballs appear on one level and quickly bounce all the way from one side of the screen to the other and disappear. Both pose a threat to the help of the brothers, but both can be eliminated with a well timed punch from below. However, in order for the punch to be effective, either fireball must be touching the pipe when the brothers jump, or the attack is ineffective. After a fireball is destroyed, it stays out of play for a few moments, only to return much faster the next time it appears. | If Mario or Luigi sticks around in one stage for too long, things start to heat up, literally.

Slipice begins to show up after the second bonus stage. Like fireballs, it only takes one hit from below to get rid of him and unlike fireballs, he sticks to the ground, so it's pretty easy to hit him. However, if he is left alone for too long, he will eventually find a pipe that isn't yet frozen and freeze it solid, covering the pipe with a film of ice. This makes the pipe very slippery and gives the brothers a much harder time coming to a stop when they are running. They are a minimal threat, so don't go out of your way to get rid of them, but any chance to do away with one is worth taking. | |||
