'''Fire-Ball Frenzy''' is the sixteenth [[level]] in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'', and the first area of World 4, [[Mekanos]].
'''Fire-Ball Frenzy''' is the sixteenth [[level]] in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' and the first level of [[Mekanos]]. It is the first factory level of the game. [[Karbine]]s appear throughout the level, shooting fireballs in [[Dixie Kong]] and [[Kiddy Kong]]'s path. The [[Kong]]s have to go across some [[bubbling cauldron]]s, often by moving across a horizontal [[rope]]. [[Squitter]] is used in the first [[Bonus room|Bonus Level]], although there is a [[No Animal Sign]] in the main level to prevent him from progressing further.

[[File:Fire-Ball Frenzy GBA three Karbines.png|thumb|left|Fire-Ball Frenzy in the Game Boy Advance version]]
From the start of the level, there will be a [[DK Barrel]], followed by some bananas. The Kongs will then go east and encounter three Karbines, each shooting one fireball at a time. They must pass two side by side Karbines, which also shoot a bit faster. They will go northeast, then jump off of a Knik-Knak to grab [[KONG Letters|the letter K]] and avoid falling into bubbling cauldrons. There will then be two Bristles, followed by more Karbines. The Kongs will be transported up to a rope, yet the Karbines will follow them. They must run west past another Bristle and three Karbines to find a DK Barrel. They must then jump over a Buzz and avoid yet another Karbine. They will then find the letter O, and then climb across two bubbling cauldrons, avoiding three Karbines. The last Karbine will chase the Kongs up seven ropes and platforms until they reach a patch of bananas. They must avoid another Bristle to find the midway point


[[Karbine]]s are all over this factory, shooting fireballs in the Kongs' path. In addition to them, the Kongs must be cautious of the vats of molten lava that lie around the level. [[Squitter]] appears in a bonus area, but he can't progress through the main level. [[Bristle]]s, [[Knick-Knack]]s and [[Buzz (enemy)|Buzzes]] can be found here.
The first item after the [[Star Barrel]] is a DK Barrel. Going east, the Kongs can find an invisible [[bear coin]], but to do so, they must avoid a Karbine while going down five platforms and a pit of lava. Going east, they must avoid two Buzzes and two Karbines then go up a moving platform avoiding more Karbines. They must then avoid two Karbines shooting three fireballs to find the letter N. After that, the apes will go up a platform and find another DK Barrel. [[Koin]] is near here. They must go west avoiding eight fast shooting Karbines. These Karbines will again chase them on a high-up rope. Past here they will find another Bristle and the letter G. There will be four more Karbines before the level ends.

*Right after the midway point, the Kongs will get chased by a Karbine down some platforms.

They have to defeat several Buzzes while avoiding Karbines. There is a [[Bonus Coin]] at the end.
Just after the letter N, the Kongs encounter a [[Koin]] on a platform to the right, with a [[Iron Barrel|Steel Barrel]] and a Karbine. The Kongs must pick up the Steel Barrel, while avoiding the Karbine, then throw it to the wall on the right. The Steel Barrel rolls into Koin from behind, thus defeating him and giving the [[DK Coin]] to the Kongs.
*There is a Karbine shooting three fireballs in a row. If the player looks above and to the left, they will see a banana. Dixie can be thrown up to this banana, then she will land on a platform. Go right to the Grab 15 Bananas! [[Bonus Barrel]].
