'''Fireballs''' are walking fireballs that wear sunglasses. They make their appearance in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''. They only appear in [[Crystal Caves]] as part of one of [[Chunky Kong]]'s [[Golden Banana]] missions. The [[Racing Rabbit|rabbit]] [[Lanky Kong]] raced in [[Fungi Forest]] was tied to a [[TNT Barrel]]. These fireballs walk toward the barrel, trying to light the fuse. It takes 5 fireballs to come in contact with the barrel to blow it up. When they're about to blow up, they let out a small, high-pitched cackle. Chunky had a time limit to keep these fireballs from lighting the fuse. Dispite being made of fire, they can be destroyed by physical attacks. After the time is up, and the rabbit is safe, Chunky gets a golden banana.

A flame,[1][2][3] also referred to as a fireball[2][4] or fire beast,[5] is a walking fireball enemy that wears sunglasses in Donkey Kong 64. Flames appear only in Crystal Caves within an igloo that only Chunky Kong can access. Inside, the Rabbit is tied to a TNT Barrel, and the flames walk toward it, trying to light the fuse. Chunky must prevent the flames from touching the TNT Barrel within a time limit, or else the TNT Barrel will explode with the Rabbit. If a flame touches the barrel, the barrel will explode. When flames are about to blow up, they let out a short, high-pitched cackle. Although flames are made of fire, Chunky can still defeat them with physical attacks. When the time runs out and the flames do not touch the TNT Barrel, Chunky is rewarded with a Golden Banana.
