'''Firefox'''<ref>Atari 8-bit instruction manual</ref> (also known as a '''Fireball'''<ref>Commodore 64 instruction manual</ref>) was the first generic enemy in a [[Mario (series)|''Mario'' game]]. They are living embodiments of fire similar to the [[Podoboo]]s from ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' 

==History==
===''Donkey Kong===
[[Image:Oil_balls.PNG|thumb|120px|left|'''Firefox''' first emerging from an [[Oil Drum]].]]
[[Image:DKGB Fire.png|frame]]
Firefoxes makes their first appearance in the original ''[[Donkey Kong (game)|Donkey Kong]]'' and in the remake [[Donkey Kong (Game Boy)|for the Game Boy]] as enemies. Firefoxes emerge from the [[Oil Drum]]s and then chase after [[Mario]], trying to burn him. If Mario is touched by a Firefox, he will lose [[Extra Life|a life]] and be forced to restart the level. Firefoxes will go to extremes to burn Mario, even climbing up [[Ladder]]s - no matter if they are broken or fixed. If Mario jumps over a Firefox, he will get [[Point]]s but the only way to destroy them is with a [[Hammer]]. Firefoxes only appear in three levels of the game; [[25m]], [[50m]] and [[75m]]. In the [[100m|fourth level]] they are replaced by [[Fire]]s.

===''Super Mario Bros. Special===
Their next appearance was in ''[[Super Mario Bros. Special]]'' where they were credited as ''Shigebō'' (シゲボー).  The name was created by [[Hudson]]'s staff.

===''Mario vs. Donkey Kong===
[[File:FireMvsDK.png|thumb|Firefox in ''Mario vs. Donkey Kong''.]]
They appear in ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong]]'', where they will often be seen monitoring a set area. They will instantly burn Mario on contact thus causing him to lose a life. 

===''Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis===
They re-appear in ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis]]'' in the final boss fight with [[Donkey Kong]], on the roof and the basement levels. They will spawn from [[Oil Barrel]]s if a wooden barrel falls in to them just like in the original ''Donkey Kong'' and they will throughout the field in the same as in the original as well.

===''Super Smash Bros. Brawl===
[[Image:TroubleBug.jpg|thumb|120px|Firefox as it appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''.]]
Firefox also appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' on the [[75m]] stage. On that stage, Firefox can damage the fighters by touching them. Each hit does 10% damage and moderate knockback.

===''Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem!===                               
Firefox appears in ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem!]]'' as enemies once again.
