'''Fireballs''' are walking fireballs that wear sunglasses. They make their appearance in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''. They only appear in [[Crystal Caves]] as part of one of [[Chunky Kong]]'s [[Golden Banana]] missions. The [[Racing Rabbit|rabbit]] [[Lanky Kong]] raced in [[Fungi Forest]] was tied to a [[TNT Barrel]]. These fireballs walk toward the barrel, trying to light the fuse. It takes 5 fireballs to come in contact with the barrel to blow it up. When they're about to blow up, they let out a small, high-pitched cackle. Chunky had a time limit to keep these fireballs from lighting the fuse. Dispite being made of fire, they can be destroyed by physical attacks. After the time is up, and the rabbit is safe, Chunky gets a golden banana.

A flame,[1][2][3] also referred to as a fireball[2][4] or fire beast,[5] is a walking fireball enemy wearing sunglasses in Donkey Kong 64. Flames appear inside an igloo in Crystal Caves. Flames are encountered only by Chunky Kong, since he is the only character able to enter the igloo. Inside, the Rabbit is tied to a TNT Barrel, and the flames walk toward it, trying to light the fuse. The object is for Chunky to prevent the flames from touching the TNT Barrel within the time limit for a Golden Banana. If a flame touches the TNT Barrel, it will explode with the Rabbit. Flames let out a short, high-pitched cackle (a high-pitched version of the cackle used by Baron Samedi in Rare's GoldenEye 007) before blowing up. Despite being made of fire, flames can still be defeated from Chunky's physical moves.
