Image? I can't upload them. And even if i did, it would be like exploded chips smudged on a glass window, viewed from the inide. -- [[User:Dragonfree|Dragonfree]]

We're more than likely gonna need an image of the Flamethrower obstacles. [[User:Lord Grammaticus|Lord Grammaticus]] ([[User talk:Lord Grammaticus|talk]]) 18:17, 29 January 2014 (EST)

Having just played through the entirety of ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong]]'', I never encountered any flamethrowing-barrels, and the [[Mario_vs._Donkey_Kong#Enemies_and_obstacles|enemies and obstacles list]] doesn't say anything about them. Is it possible this is talking about a different game? {{User:Alex95/sig}} 09:48, 16 October 2018 (EDT)
:From what I can tell, the initial article just described a torch-like barrel object, and then someone added the Shy Guy enemies from ''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'' before finally the original subject was attributed to that game, almost like a game of telephone. Looking through the [[media:Mvsdk book i.jpg|obstacles]], the closest thing this can possibly be seems to be the Color Lasers (which currently doesn't have an article). I'd be in favor of deletion.

::Might it be talking about the [[candle]] obstacles? [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 12:38, 6 November 2018 (EST)
:::Probably not, as the article says it's a barrel-like object that can spit flames.
:::The user that created the page is no longer active here, but they [https://animalcrossing.fandom.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/Dragonfree97 are still active on an Animal Crossing Wikia] (they also have a Twitter). I could ''maybe'' ask them if they remember where this info came from. Otherwise, this is a completely pointless article. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 13:05, 6 November 2018 (EST)
::::Cylinder on something as small-screened and low-res as the GBA could be perceived as anything. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 13:55, 6 November 2018 (EST)
:::::It's possible they also confused the [[Oil]] Can, but I don't know where the flame-spitting came from. {{User:Alex95/sig}}
::::::The fact they do that in DKC, maybe? [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 13:58, 6 November 2018 (EST)

Well, regardless, I can't figure out what this (conjecturally named) page is actually referring to. So if there's no objections, I'm for making this redirect to Charizard's move. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 14:05, 6 November 2018 (EST)
:I was actually thinking of Flamethrower being the new title for the generically-named fire jet / flame spurt from ''Super Mario 64''. [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 14:19, 6 November 2018 (EST)
::Hmmmmm that could work, too (though I kind of like fire jet). {{User:Alex95/sig}} 14:23, 6 November 2018 (EST)
::The Player's Guide is a higher priority source, though, certainly more than a file name. It's generic, sure, but suitable enough. The file name could have been generically named, too. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 23:21, 18 November 2018 (EST)
:::The problem is that the Player's Guide isn't only a generic description but also wildly inconsistent, calling it anything from a fire jet (63 & 67), a flame spout (42), jets of flame (124), jet of fire (120), fire (120), blast (120), fireplace (also 120, regarding a specific one in Rainbow Ride's Cloud House) and, actually, a "flame thrower" (twice on 114 and again on 115). Technically, that last one means flame thrower / flamethrower is used most often, edging out instances of fire jet.

::::Ah, didn't know they'd be all over the place with its name. Fair enough, then. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 03:48, 19 November 2018 (EST)

== Is it OK to merge this with Burner? ==

Because they look identical in my opinion. That's alright if no {{unsigned|ToadMushroom823}}
:I'm not seeing strong enough allusions to the original Super Mario Bros. 3 iteration. That being said, the [[Burner]] article itself is pretty haphazard for all sorts of fire-spewing hazards so one can make the case for the merge OR the case to split off various hazards from the Burner article. Either way the current organization isn't great. {{User:Mario/sig}} 18:57, April 18, 2023 (EDT)
