Ring of Fire: Difference between revisions

'''Fire Chains''' (also referred to as '''Spinning Podoboos''' and sometimes mistaken for '''Podoboo Cogs''') are spinning [[fireball]]s formed in a ring shape that originally appeared in the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' series]]. Similar to [[Podoboo Cog]]s, Fire Chains serve as obstacles in all games in which they appear, and their rotating movement is similar to that of the [[Circling Boo Buddies]].

Fire Chains first appear in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]''. They appeared in [[Waluigi Stadium]] and [[Wario Colosseum]] alongside normal Podoboo Cogs, where they burn any racer that comes in contact with it.

Fire Chains reappeared in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', where they were found in [[Wario Stadium (DS)|Wario Stadium]]. They play the same role trying to burn any racer to slow them down.

Fire Chains reappear in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', where they found once again in the Waluigi Stadium retro course, and in [[Bowser's Castle (Wii)|Bowser's Castle]] where they are made up of three fireballs each.

Fire Chains reappear in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', where they only appeared in the <small>DS</small> Wario Stadium retro course. Here they are once again the main obstacle along with normal Podoboo Cogs.

Fire Chains also appeared in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. They appeared in [[Bowser's Lava Lair]], in the starting planet, and the fireball planet, and the [[Slipsand Galaxy]] in its starting planet. They behave the way they did in the ''Mario Kart'' games.

Fire Chains return in ''[[Super Mario Run]]'', except with an appearance of a complete "ring of fire" rather than separate sets of fireballs. They appear only in the level [[Rings of Fire!]].
