Flimflam

Flimflams[1] (also known simply as fire[2]) are enemies in Wario Land: Shake It!. These small, fiery creatures turn Wario into Flaming Wario temporarily. They typically appear alongside Bonfire Blocks, and Wario must reach one while burning to destroy it. In most appearances, Flimflams are produced from spawners, burn briefly, and fizzle out, but some are found burning endlessly. They may also be dropped from slot machines. In Stonetooth Cave, they are shown to be unable to ignite on Conveyor Belts, and dissolve instantly on contact with water. In Slipshod Slopes and Freezing Fields, a blue variant burns with ice, freezing Wario on contact, causing him to slide backwards and lose progress.
