Talk:Fireball (Donkey Kong)

What is the source of this name? In an old NES manual, these enemies are called "Fireballs." -- Son of Suns (talk)

I also think this name is questionable. It comes from the English version of the DOJO: [1]. But the Japanese version calls it "Ojamamushi" (おじゃまむし), so "trouble bug", which is not even capitalized, is a literal translation of the Japanese name and was never used anywhere else. In the manual of Donkey Kong '94 for Game Boy, it is called "Fire", the former name of this article, in a gallery of a few enemies, so at least "Fire" is official for sure. --Grandy02 11:40, 20 December 2008 (EST)

Move back to Fireball

I admit that I originally initiated to move this article from Fireball (Donkey Kong) to the current Fire. But that was before I knew that the Foxfires have a different name. The name "Fire" comes from the Game Boy Donkey Kong manual, but it is written under a picture of Foxfire. As it isn't clear whether "Fire" only refers to Foxfire or is a collective term for both fire enemies, Fire should be moved back to "Fireball (Donkey Kong)" and everything stays as it was before. --Grandy02 11:59, 22 January 2010 (EST)
