'''Fires'''<ref>Game Boy ''Donkey Kong'' English instruction booklet, page 21.</ref> (also generically '''fireballs'''<ref>Instruction manuals for Intellivision, ColecoVision, Atari 2600, Commodore 64, NES, Amstrad CPC, and Atari 7800 home versions.</ref> and '''firefoxes'''<ref>Instruction manual for Atari 8-bit home version.</ref>) are enemies that exclusively appear in the [[100m|100 m]] level of ''[[Donkey Kong (game)|Donkey Kong]]''. In most versions, they are depicted as a slightly larger variant of the [[Fireball (Donkey Kong)|Fireball]] enemy that appears in other levels.

Fires make their first appearance in the original ''[[Donkey Kong (game)|Donkey Kong]]'' as enemies. They exclusively appear in [[100m|100 m]], and as they are slightly larger than the [[Fireball (Donkey Kong)|Fireball]] enemies that appear in other levels, they are more difficult to jump over. Fires can climb [[ladder]]s, but cannot reverse directions during the climb. If [[Mario]] jumps over a Fire, he receives [[point]]s, but the only way to destroy them is with a [[hammer]]. Picking up a hammer causes the Fires to turn blue. There can only be five or less Fires on the screen at the same time in the arcade version; that number was lowered to four in the [[Nintendo Entertainment System]] port of the game.

====''Donkey Kong'' (Game Boy)====

In ''[[Donkey Kong (Game Boy)|Donkey Kong]]'' for [[Game Boy]], Fires appear in the [[Construction Site|Start]], which is a recreation of the arcade original.

====''Donkey Kong 64''====

During the events of ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'', Fires retain their role of enemies in a built-in port of the classic ''Donkey Kong'' game, playable through an arcade machine found inside [[Frantic Factory]].
