'''Fireballs'''<ref>''Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem!'' Help Mode</ref> (also generically called '''fireballs'''<ref>Instruction manuals for the Coleco tabletop, Commodore 64 (Atarisoft), TI-99/4A, MS-DOS, Apple II, and Coleco Adam ports.</ref><ref>Instruction manual for ''Donkey Kong Circus''.</ref> and alternatively known as '''firefoxes''')<ref>Instruction manual for the Commodore VIC-20 port.</ref> are enemies that first appeared in ''[[Donkey Kong (game)|Donkey Kong]]''. They are living embodiments of fire comparable to [[Lava Bubble]]s from ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]''  

In their second appearance, [[Donkey Kong]] has to dodge Fireballs while trying to juggle [[pineapple]]s in ''[[Donkey Kong Circus]]'' for the [[Game & Watch]].

The [[Mario vs. Donkey Kong (Nintendo Switch)|remake]] depicts them with an updated design that gives them a closer connection to the [[Lava Bubble]]s that also return, while blue, [[Blue Fireball (Mario vs. Donkey Kong)|icy variants]] also appear.

Fireballs make cameo appearances in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' and its [[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D|Nintendo 3DS version]]. In a level called [[Shifty Smashers]], some crushing blocks feature renders of Donkey Kong angrily leaping over a Fireball enemy. The imprints are imitations of the characters' original sprites from the ''Donkey Kong'' arcade classic.

Fireballs are referenced in the [[Donkey Kong Adventure]] DLC of ''[[Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle]]'' in the description of [[Rabbid Cranky]]'s Barrel Bolt weapon [[List of weapons in Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle#Oil Drum|Oil Drum]] (based on the ''Donkey Kong'' object), which states that enemies will not turn into blue flames with eyes that chase the player when hit with it.

In ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', a Fireball makes a cameo in the [[Tour New York Minute|New York Minute]] courses on the {{wp|Times Square}} jumbotron displaying gameplay of [[25m]] from the game. The jumbotron reappears in {{classic|Tour|New York Minute}} in the [[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]] for ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''.
