A '''fireball''' is a common type of [[fire element]] attack (magic or otherwise) found in many [[video game]]s.

In games that use a "grid" system, the fireball's effect will almost always be to damage or destroy the cell it hits [[Area of effect|and any cells immediately surrounding it]], including those connected by only a corner: it may destroy a 3x3 area on a square grid, a 3x3x3 area on a cube grid, a cell and its six neighbors on a hexagonal grid, etc. Therefore, it's one of the most useful of the simple moves, providing you can actually perform it.

In games that don't, it's typically far less powerful. In [[Super Mario Bros.]], for example, the fireball only kills enemies and does not clear any blocks from the level, not to mention its [[hitbox]] is about the same size as those of [[Touhou bullet]]s and it bounces around like a [[ADHD]] [[kid]] with [[spring boots]] and a [[helmet]], making it rather awkward to actually hit anything with it.
