Image? I can't upload them. And even if i did, it would be like exploded chips smudged on a glass window, viewed from the inide. -- Dragonfree

We're more than likely gonna need an image of the Flamethrower obstacles. Lord Grammaticus (talk) 18:17, 29 January 2014 (EST)

Where?
Having just played through the entirety of Mario vs. Donkey Kong, I never encountered any flamethrowing-barrels, and the enemies and obstacles list doesn't say anything about them. Is it possible this is talking about a different game? 09:48, 16 October 2018 (EDT)
 * From what I can tell, the initial article just described a torch-like barrel object, and then someone added the Shy Guy enemies from Mario vs. Donkey Kong before finally the original subject was attributed to that game, almost like a game of telephone. Looking through the [[media:Mvsdk book i.jpg|obstacles]], the closest thing this can possibly be seems to be the Color Lasers (which currently doesn't have an article). I'd be in favor of deletion.

 * Might it be talking about the candle obstacles? Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 12:38, 6 November 2018 (EST)
 * Probably not, as the article says it's a barrel-like object that can spit flames.
 * The user that created the page is no longer active here, but they are still active on an Animal Crossing Wikia (they also have a Twitter). I could maybe ask them if they remember where this info came from. Otherwise, this is a completely pointless article. 13:05, 6 November 2018 (EST)
 * Cylinder on something as small-screened and low-res as the GBA could be perceived as anything. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 13:55, 6 November 2018 (EST)
 * It's possible they also confused the Oil Can, but I don't know where the flame-spitting came from.
 * The fact they do that in DKC, maybe? Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 13:58, 6 November 2018 (EST)

Well, regardless, I can't figure out what this (conjecturally named) page is actually referring to. So if there's no objections, I'm for making this redirect to Charizard's move. 14:05, 6 November 2018 (EST)
 * I was actually thinking of Flamethrower being the new title for the generically-named fire jet / flame spurt from Super Mario 64. LinkTheLefty (talk) 14:19, 6 November 2018 (EST)
 * Hmmmmm that could work, too (though I kind of like fire jet). 14:23, 6 November 2018 (EST)
 * The Player's Guide is a higher priority source, though, certainly more than a file name. It's generic, sure, but suitable enough. The file name could have been generically named, too. 23:21, 18 November 2018 (EST)
 * The problem is that the Player's Guide isn't only a generic description but also wildly inconsistent, calling it anything from a fire jet (63 & 67), a flame spout (42), jets of flame (124), jet of fire (120), fire (120), blast (120), fireplace (also 120, regarding a specific one in Rainbow Ride's Cloud House) and, actually, a "flame thrower" (twice on 114 and again on 115). Technically, that last one means flame thrower / flamethrower is used most often, edging out instances of fire jet. LinkTheLefty (talk) 03:21, 19 November 2018 (EST)
 * Ah, didn't know they'd be all over the place with its name. Fair enough, then. 03:48, 19 November 2018 (EST)
