| | '''Fire Rings''' are spinning [[fireball]]s formed in a ring shape that only appeared in the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' series]]. Similar to [[Fire Bar]]s, Fire Rings serve as obstacles in all games in which they appear, and their rotating movement is similar to that of the [[Circling Boo Buddies]]. |

| | Fire Rings first appear in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]''. They appeared in [[Waluigi Stadium]] and [[Wario Colosseum]] alongside normal Fire Bars, where they burn any racer that comes in contact with it. |
| Fire Chains appear in all mainline games in the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' series]] from ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'' onward, occasionally alongside normal [[Fire Bar]]s. When touched by any racer without the use of a [[Super Star]], they cause them to get burned and spin out. | |
|
| |
|
| The number of fireballs in a Fire Chain varies per course and per game. In the ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'' version of [[GCN Waluigi Stadium|Waluigi Stadium]] they are made up of eight fireballs while the ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' versions of the course have six. In [[Wario Colosseum]], Fire Chains contain seven fireballs. The ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' version of [[DS Wario Stadium|Wario Stadium]] features Fire Chains with five fireballs, while the same course in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' again features Fire Chains of six fireballs. The Fire Chains in the ''Mario Kart Wii'' course [[Bowser's Castle (Mario Kart Wii)|Bowser's Castle]] have three fireballs each.

| |
| Fire Chains are obstacles in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. They appear in [[Bowser's Lava Lair]], on the starting planet, and the fireball planet, and the [[Slipsand Galaxy]] on its starting planet. They behave the way they do in the ''Mario Kart'' games, though sometimes, they go around planets instead of circling in the air.

| |
| Fire Chains, also referred to as '''rings of fire''', return in ''[[Super Mario Run]]'', They appear as a complete "ring of fire" rather than separate sets of fireballs. They appear only in the course [[Rings of Fire!]]. Some move up and down. [[Coin]]s, including [[Color coin]]s, are often seen within the rings. Going through one without taking damage is a [[Coin Rush (Super Mario Run)|stylish move]] called '''Threading the Ring''', and this move produces blue stars. In Toad Rally, these stars contribute to starting a [[Coin Rush (Super Mario Run)|Coin Rush]]. It also immediately gets a [[Toad (species)|Toad]] to cheer for the player.
