Fireballs appear in ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong]]'', where they are often seen monitoring a set area. However, they are considerably scarce during the course of the game. They will instantly burn Mario on contact, thus causing him to lose a life. Much to the plumber's advantage, they can be crushed with [[hammer]]s usually found nearby.

The [[Mario vs. Donkey Kong (Nintendo Switch)|remake]] depicts them with an updated design that gives them a closer connection to the [[Lava Bubble]]s that also return, while blue, [[Blue Fireball (Mario vs. Donkey Kong)|icy variants]] also appear.
The [[Mario vs. Donkey Kong (Nintendo Switch)|remake]] depicts them with an updated design that gives them a closer connection to the [[Lava Bubble]]s that also return. The remake also introduces a blue, icy variant, found exclusively in the new ice-themed [[Slippery Summit]] and [[Slippery Summit Plus]] worlds. They have an identical purpose and function to Fireballs, but instead of burning, they freeze [[Mario]] and [[Mini Mario (toy)|Mini-Mario]] on contact, which causes them to lose a life.

Fireballs make cameo appearances in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' and its [[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D|Nintendo 3DS version]]. In a level called [[Shifty Smashers]], some crushing blocks feature renders of Donkey Kong angrily leaping over a Fireball enemy. The imprints are imitations of the characters' original sprites from the ''Donkey Kong'' arcade classic.
