The enemies are uncommon in the game, as they only reside in a single level, called [[Perilous Passage]]. Here, along with large dropping blocks, they represent stage hazards, as they might enter the scene very suddenly. The Kongs cannot succeed in defeating any of the Firebites by themselves, and the enemies would have to be skipped over whenever they are faced. Nonetheless, some of them despawn after dissolving into lava, and a single specimen even gets crushed by a dropping block.

Firebites[1] are enemies in Donkey Kong Country Returns and its port. They are encountered in Perilous Passage only. Firebites are relatives of Buzzbites that behave identically to them, moving quickly along platforms, walls, and ceilings, but the key difference with Firebites is that they are covered in flames and leave behind temporary trails of fire. Contact with a Firebite or its flames takes away a heart from the Kongs' health meter. They cannot be defeated.
