Rentamaguma (described as "fireballs"[1][2] or "spheres of lava"[3] by Prima Games) are comet-like fire enemies that appear in Donkey Kong Country Returns and its Nintendo 3DS version. They are red ball-like enemies with a tail of fire, as well as a variant of another fire enemy, Char-Chars. They are much bigger than Char-Chars. Rentamaguma appear in the Volcano level Furious Fire, as well as the port-exclusive Cloud level Lavawheel Volcano. In this level, they roam around, trying to harm Donkey Kong. Rentamaguma cannot be defeated by any attack method, including jumping and throwing barrels.

Sometimes it pays to just sit back and watch where they go so you are not surprised by them. In addition, you also have little Char-Chars to worry about. You can actually blow them out if they get in your way."
