Name[edit]
Where does the name Firefox come from? Was it used for the Arcade or NES versions? --Grandy02 07:51, 11 October 2009 (EDT)
This is called foxfire from a book "How to win at Donkey Kong" published back in 1982 (Mario was named that year when Donkey Kong Jr was released.) Firefox here [1], [2], and [3]. --Jumper 11:03, 11 October 2009 (EDT)
- I might rename this article to Foxfire as it may be closer to the original name. Foxfire is part of Japanese folklore (kitsune-bi).--Jumper 11:28, 11 October 2009 (EDT)
