Fireballs return once again as enemies in ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem!]]'', where they first appear in [[Area 5-2]] and several subsequent levels. In this game, they behave similarly to their [[Donkey Kong (game)|original appearance]] by walking at a moderate pace along the ground, although they will start treading faster if the [[Mini]]s are holding [[hammer]]s. Beyond that, they function nearly identically to their previous appearances. | Fireballs return once again as enemies in ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem!]]'', where they first appear in [[Area 5-2]] and several subsequent levels.
