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) | 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.

: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.

::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 Player's Guide is a higher priority source, though, certainly more than a file name.

:::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.
