Fires are encountered only in [[100m|100 m]] of ''[[Donkey Kong (game)|Donkey Kong]]'', including the [[Construction Site|Start]] level of the [[Donkey Kong (Game Boy)|Game Boy version]] and the port of the arcade version in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''. Fires are slightly larger than the [[Fireball (Donkey Kong)|Fireball]] enemies. Fires can climb [[ladder]]s in only a single direction. By jumping over a Fire, [[Mario]] can earn [[point]]s. Fires become blue if Mario is holding a [[hammer]], which is the only way to defeat them. Only up to five Fires can appear onscreen at once in the arcade version, lowered to four in the [[Family Computer]] and [[Nintendo Entertainment System]] version.
[[File:DK Blue Firefox.png|thumb]]
Fires make their first appearance in the original ''[[Donkey Kong (game)|Donkey Kong]]'' as enemies. They exclusively appear in [[100m|100 m]], and as they are slightly larger than the [[Fireball (Donkey Kong)|Fireball]] enemies that appear in other levels, they are more difficult to jump over. Fires can climb [[ladder]]s, but cannot reverse directions during the climb. If [[Mario]] jumps over a Fire, he receives [[point]]s. If a [[Bolt (object)|bolt]] is removed while a Fire is on top of it, the enemy will become stuck over the gap. This will allow Mario to safely jump over the enemy repeatedly. Like Fireballs, the only way to destroy them is with a [[hammer]]. Picking up a hammer causes the Fires to turn blue. There can only be five or less Fires on the screen at the same time in the arcade version; that number was lowered to four in the [[Nintendo Entertainment System]] port of the game.

Fires[1] (also known as fireballs,[2][3][4] firefoxes,[5] and foxfires[6]) are enemies that debuted in the 100m level of Donkey Kong. In most versions, they are depicted as a slightly larger variant of the Fireball enemy that appears in other levels.

History[edit]

Donkey Kong[edit]

Sprite of a Fire from Donkey Kong (Arcade) Blue Fire

Fires are encountered only in 100 m of Donkey Kong, including the Start level of the Game Boy version and the port of the arcade version in Donkey Kong 64. Fires are slightly larger than the Fireball enemies. Fires can climb ladders in only a single direction. By jumping over a Fire, Mario can earn points. Fires become blue if Mario is holding a hammer, which is the only way to defeat them. Only up to five Fires can appear onscreen at once in the arcade version, lowered to four in the Family Computer and Nintendo Entertainment System version.

Family BASIC[edit]

Fires are programmable sprites in the Family BASIC accessory to the Family Computer, as well as enemies in a space shooter minigame of Family BASIC V3.

NES Remix series[edit]

Fires appear in Donkey Kong-related challenges in NES Remix, NES Remix Pack, and Ultimate NES Remix.
