12%%* Some video games, such as ''VideoGame/{{Trog}}'' and ''VideoGame/{{Boogerman}}'', even make use of this trope as a powerup: eating a chili pepper will allow the player to breathe (or fart) fire for a period of time.
13* ''VideoGame/AdibooMagicalPlayland'': If Buzzy Galump eats a failed meal, he'll breath fire.
14* ''VideoGame/AmazonGuardiansOfEden'': After being given a meal with a handful of Cayenne peppers (1000 times stronger than the Jalapeno), El Loco is shown breathing fire from his mouth with a pretty crude effect.
15* ''VideoGame/TheBindingOfIsaac'': Both the Bird's Eye and Ghost Pepper items are items that Isaac eats upon taking, and causes him to shoot fires in addition to his usual weapon. The Bird's Eye has him breathe "standard" fire, while the Ghost Pepper has him shoot out ghostly blue flames instead.
16* In ''Delicious 7: Emily's True Love'', this happens to a restaurant critic after a waitress slathers his food with hot sauce to get back at the restaurant owner for proposing to her and then dating Emily.
17* In ''VideoGame/DragonQuestVIII'', it is possible to feed Munchie, your mouse, a very spicy cheese to make it breath fire. However, this isn't only its ability. Feed it a variety of cheese and it will spew out things accordingly (including, but not limited to, frozen cheese, steel cheese for buffing, and even angel cheese to revive allies).
18* ''VideoGame/EternalFighterZero'': Doppel Nanase pulls this trope using ramen for one of her attacks.
19* ''VideoGame/GenshinImpact'': Xiangling's Elemental Skill, ''Guoba Attack'', has her animal companion Guoba munch on a hot pepper and then breathe fire in the general direction of her enemies.
20* ''VideoGame/KingdomOfLoathing'' has ability ''Chronic Indigestion'' gained from eating an ultra-spicy burrito made with enchanted beans. It does 10-15 HOT damage + however full you are.
21* ''VideoGame/KirbysDreamLand'' had a Super Spicy Curry item that let you breathe fire. The same item appears in the ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'' series starting from ''Brawl'', with much the same effect.
22* ''VideoGame/LuigisMansion1'': Mr. Luggs apparently eats something hot enough to cause this effect, shooting fifteen fireballs at Luigi at a time before getting tired and able to be attacked.
23* ''VideoGame/MetalSlug'': The Elephant Slug in ''3'', upon consuming flaming hot chili, can exhale flames from its trunk capable of wiping out an entire row of enemy zombies in one fell swoop.
24* ''VideoGame/{{Miitopia}}'': Chef Miis can feed spicy food to their allies. Cue to their hapless enemies being burnt by their fiery breath. [[WhatTheHellHero The Miis who eat the spicy dish may resent being used as improvised flamethrowers, however]].
25* ''VideoGame/NancyDrew'': In ''Legend of the Crystal Skull'', feeding Bess Marvin several servings of hot-sauce-drenched Cajun cooking will cause the screen to turn reddish as she belches a puff of flame.
26* ''VideoGame/PaperMarioColorSplash'': The Magma Burgers elicit this trope from the several Shy Guys seen eating them in Fort Cobalt. One unfortunate Shy Guy was even ''reduced to ashes''.
27* ''VideoGame/Pikmin2'': According to Louie's cooking notes, crimson candypop buds will burst into flames on contact with the tongue.
28-->''Keep fire-retardant condiments within arm's reach!''
29* ''VideoGame/PizzaTower'' has an enemy called Kentucky Kenny who shoots spicy chicken wings. When Peppino eats the chicken, his mouth starts flaming.
30* ''VideoGame/PokemonDiamondAndPearl'': The Spelon Berry is stated to be so spicy it can make any Pokemon breathe fire upon eating it, even if said Pokemon is not a Fire Type.
31* ''VideoGame/PokemonMysteryDungeon'': Blast Seeds cause you to exhale an explosion when you eat them. Anyone caught in the blast takes damage.
32* In ''VideoGame/{{Rampage}}'', eating a soldier carrying a flamethrower causes your monster to cough flame for a moment.
33* ''VideoGame/{{Rayman}}: VideoGame/RavingRabbids 2'': One of the mini-games has the titular Rabbids using this as a means to cook chicken.
34* ''VideoGame/SimonTheSorcerer'': Done to solve a puzzle. To get rid of a [[{{Snowlems}} living snowman]], eat some mints to make the titular character breath fire on it.
35* In ''VideoGame/TheSims4'', this is what happens to Sims who are unaccustomed to spicy food.
36* In ''VideoGame/SpeedyGonzalesLosGatosBandidos'', Speedy can obtain a flame attack if he drinks hot sauce. This is necessary in the [[BigBoosHaunt Ancient Keep]] in order to light the firewood so the cauldron can emit clouds of smoke he can ride on like platforms.
37* Dhalsim of the ''Franchise/StreetFighter'' games had a fire-breathing ability that the English instruction manual originally attributed to "spicy curry." Recently adaptations accredit it to spirituality ([[ReligionIsMagic more exactly, the blessings of the Hindu god of fire, Agni]]).
38* In ''VideoGame/SuperMarioSunshine'', the boss fight against King Boo requires you to throw peppers at him whenever his roulette wheel produces food, which [[TongueTrauma sets his tongue on fire]] and damages him.
39* In ''VideoGame/SuperSentaiBattleDiceO'', one of [[Series/KaizokuSentaiGokaiger Gokai Yellow's]] special attacks involves inflicting this on her opponents. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zEVCPvVVTj0 Seriously.]]
40* In the ''[[VideoGame/TazManiaSega Taz-Mania]]'' LicensedGame for the UsefulNotes/SegaGenesis, Taz can obtain a flame attack from eating chili peppers. In the sequel, ''VideoGame/TazInEscapeFromMars'', Taz can obtain this same attack from gasoline cans--by [[ExtremeOmnivore swallowing them]], of course.
41* In the ''Franchise/TouhouProject'' series, we have Suika Ibuki, last boss of [[GaidenGame Immaterial And Missing Power]], who actually has this trope as an attack.
42* In ''VideoGame/UnleashTheLight'', Amethyst uses her Fire Breath against her enemies by eating pizza with hot sauce and then belching out a fireball at them, [[DamageOverTime burning them.]]
43* ''Videogame/VampireSurvivors:'' The Nduja Fritta Tanto[[labelnote:*]]"Overfried Nduja", with Nduja being an Italian spread made of spicy pork sausage; the "overfried" part is there both because overcooking a spicy dish can make it even ''spicier'', and because the dev wanted to make a joke about this being "[[TakeThat the only NFT]]" they'll add to the game[[/labelnote]] will sometimes show up when you break a destructible item, and when picked up will cause your character to spew ''massive'' gouts of flame wherever they're looking. It's amazingly useful for clearing out the ridiculous hordes the game will throw at you.
44* ''VideoGame/VocaloidNoNatsuyasumiFinalFourDays'': Rin, Len, and Kaito are forced to eat a level 99 spice ramen as a challenge from Meiko. The result? The former three end up breathe fire due to the hellishly spicy ramen just in single bite, while Meiko herself [[UnaffectedBySpice has no problem eating all of it.]]
45* ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'': There's a craftable food called Dragonbreath Chili. Eating it will cause the player to occasionally breathe fire that does minor damage to nearby enemies. During the Midsummer Fire Festival, some vendors sell a drink that causes the player to breathe fire, although unlike the chili it doesn't harm enemies. The ''Legion'' expansion adds several such recipes, which can do meaningful damage.
46** The [[DrunkenMaster Pandaren Brewmaster hero]] in ''VideoGame/WarcraftIII'' also sports a flame breath attack where in he swigs alcohol from a giant keg and then spews the ignited mixture all over his enemies. If one casts "Drunken Haze" (more or less hurling booze on the enemy and rendering them instantly drunk!) they'll also ignite and take additional damage over several seconds as they burn! The ''Mists Of Pandaria'' expansion of World of Warcraft keeps this ability for monks who choose the [[StoneWall Brewmaster]] talent tree.
47* ''VideoGame/YakuzaLikeADragon'': In one sidequest, Ichiban comes across a depressed street vendor who can't get anyone to buy his special kimchi. This trope is why: even tough yakuza like Ichiban are sent running from the exceptional spiciness of the kimchi, and most run so far away they can't come back to buy more (as Ichiban finds out, the kimchi is ''really good'' once the spiciness wears off). He takes some and begins offering it to other people across town to help them with some of their problems (like a schoolgirl who can't muster the courage to confess to her ''sempai'', or a track runner who is trying and failing to increase his running speed), with similar results. When Ichiban returns to the vendor at the end of the quest chain, he finds the guy now swamped with customers demanding kimchi, though for anything other than food.
