They are commonly depicted as a large fireball with two black eyes or also as only a large fireball. Lava Bubbles appear mainly in the [[Super Mario (series)|''Super Mario'' series]], where they can be destroyed using a [[Super Star]] or certain projectiles such as [[Ice Ball]]s, and they have also appeared in [[Mario Party (series)|''Mario Party'' series]], the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' series]], and the [[Paper Mario (series)|''Paper Mario'' series]].
==History==
===''Super Mario'' series===
====''Super Mario Bros.''====
{{multiframe|[[File:Podoboo Sprite SMB.png]] [[File:SMAS SMB Podoboo Sprite.png]]|size=40|align=right}}
Podoboos are found only in the [[castle]] levels of ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', where they are first encountered in [[World 2-4 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 2-4]], as well as in ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]''. Podoboos jump in and out of lava, and they can damage the player character on contact. Although this is not possible in ''Super Mario Bros.'', Podoboos can be defeated by kicking a [[Red Shell]] at them in [[World A-4]] of ''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels''.

There is a Podoboo in [[World 9-4 (Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels)|World 9-4]] of ''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels'' that appears between the "ト" and "ウ" in the word "アリガトウ" (''arigatō'', meaning "thank you" in Japanese) that is formed by blocks.

====''Super Mario Bros. 3''====
{{multiframe|[[File:SMB3 Lava Bubble.gif]] [[File:SMAS SMB3 Podoboo Sprite.png]]|size=40|align=right}}
Podoboos return as enemies in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. They are the same as before, though some Podoboos in [[World 5-Fortress 2]] jump out of lava on the ceiling. Podoboos can be defeated with [[Statue Mario]], [[Hammer Mario]]'s [[hammer]], or a [[Super Star|Starman]].

====''Super Mario World''====
{{multiframe|[[File:SMW Lava Bubble.png]] [[File:SMW ZigzagLavaBubble.png]]|size=40|align=left}}
Lava Bubbles,<ref name=mania/> as they are named for the first time, return in ''[[Super Mario World]]''. Lava Bubbles are similar as before in general, but this is the first game to depict them with eyes. Certain Lava Bubbles are always seen moving diagonally outside the lava at all times, bouncing off of walls along their path. If one such Lava Bubble touches the lava, it sinks and does not come out. A Lava Bubble is featured during the battle with [[Larry]], as well as one diagonally traveling variety while battling [[Lemmy]] and two while battling [[Wendy]].

====''Super Mario 64'' / ''Super Mario 64 DS''====
[[File:LavaBubbleSM64.png|thumb|A Podoboo in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'']]
Podoboos return in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and [[Super Mario 64 DS|its remake]].<ref>''Super Mario 64 DS'' internal object name (<tt>BUBBLE</tt>)</ref> They are encountered in [[Lethal Lava Land]], of which their name is in the Japanese title of. The behavior of a Podoboo consists of jumping out of the lava and bouncing on bridges before going back in. Podoboos cannot be defeated, and like other fire-based obstacles and enemies, a Podoboo takes away three units of health from Mario upon contact, causing him to run on fire uncontrollably for a few seconds. [[Bowser in the Sky]] includes some blue fireballs (green in the remake) that are spit by [[Bowser]] and divide into three like-colored Podoboos that bounce across the stage before disappearing shortly after. A Podoboo can be eaten by [[Yoshi]] in the remake, granting him a brief fire-spitting ability.

====''New Super Mario Bros.''====
[[File:PodobooNSMB.png|frame|left]]
Podoboos are encountered in {{world link|1|castlen|World 1-Castle (New Super Mario Bros.)}}, {{world link|4|castlen|World 4-Castle (New Super Mario Bros.)}}, and [[World 8-5 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 8-5]] of ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' Their behavior is derived from ''Super Mario Bros.'', while their appearance is from ''Super Mario 64 DS''.

They have an unusual cyan color and bounce along the ground while following Mario. Lava Bubbles can be defeated only from being hit by a [[Star Bit]], causing it to release a [[coin]]. Lava Bubbles are first seen in [[Good Egg Galaxy]], being spawned by [[King Kaliente]] during the third phase of his battle. Lava Bubbles are later found in [[Bowser Jr.'s Lava Reactor]], both in the stage and while battling blackened King Kaliente, who spawns Lava Bubbles at a faster rate than his normal counterpart. Lava Bubbles are last seen in [[Melty Molten Galaxy]], where they guard a [[Silver Star]] in "[[Burning Tide]]" and [[Star Chip]]s in "[[Through the Meteor Storm]]."

====''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''====
[[File:NSMBW Lava Bubble Render.png|frame|left]]
Lava Bubbles are featured throughout [[World 8 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 8]] levels and castle levels in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. They resemble their design from ''Super Mario World'' but are more closely based on their appearance in ''New Super Mario Bros.'' A Lava Bubble can be defeated either from an [[Ice Ball]] or from contact with a character under the effects of a [[Super Star|Star]]. They appear in {{world link|2|castle|World 2-Castle (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)}}, {{world link|5|castle|World 5-Castle (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)}}, {{world link|6|castle|World 6-Castle (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)}}, and {{world link|8|castle|World 8-Bowser's Castle (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)}}, in addition to appearing in World 8 [[Enemy Course]]s.

There is an unused behavior of [[Yoshi]] being able to eat a Lava Bubble and then spitting it out as a large fireball, much like the fireball projectiles of [[Fire Piranha Plant]]s.<ref>{{cite|url=www.youtube.com/watch?v=CnUMLLINtX0&t=1025s|timestamp=17:05|title=New Super Mario Bros Wii - All Castles with Yoshi|publisher=YouTube|date=February 4, 2018|author=ProsafiaGaming|accessdate=May 9, 2024}}</ref>

====''Super Mario Galaxy 2''====
[[File:PodobooSMG2.png|thumb|left|90px]]
Lava Bubbles are enemies in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. Most of them are now orange and eyeless, though the blue type appears while battling King Kaliente in the [[Boss Blitz Galaxy]]. Lava Bubbles are usually in [[lava]]-themed galaxies and behave like they do in ''Super Mario Galaxy'', though [[Bowser's Gravity Gauntlet]] has Lava Bubbles that jump from one lava pit into another one nearby.

====''Super Mario 3D Land''====
Lava Bubbles return as enemies in castle courses in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]''. They behave identically as in ''Super Mario Galaxy'' and ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'', but they can be defeated by only a Star or an [[Invincibility Leaf]].

====''New Super Mario Bros. 2''====
[[File:NewPodoboo.png|frame|left]]
Lava Bubbles return in the castle levels of ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', now with the ability to hop out of lava diagonally.

====''New Super Mario Bros. U'' / ''New Super Luigi U'' / ''New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe''====
Lava Bubbles reappear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'', and [[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe|their port]]. They behave the same as in other side-scrolling games, though there is a sideways flying variation that leaps from one lava pool to the other in ''New Super Luigi U'', confirmed by the a Lava Bubble by Takemoto in a [[Miiverse]] post.{{ref needed}}

====''Super Mario 3D World'' / ''Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury''====
[[File:SM3DWLavaBubble.jpg|thumb|150px|Lava Bubbles in ''Super Mario 3D World'']]
Lava Bubbles reappear in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and [[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury|its port]], behaving identically as in ''Super Mario 3D Land''. There is also the blue type, which leaps out of blue lava.

====''Super Mario Maker'' / ''Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS''====
{{multiframe|[[File:SMM-SMB-LavaBubble-Wings.png]]|align=left|bg=black}}
Lava Bubbles are course elements in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' and [[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS|its port]]. It is possible for them to appear from [[? Block]]s, [[Warp Pipe]]s, [[Bill Blaster]]s, or even [[Lakitu]]s. If given [[wings]], a Lava Bubble moves diagonally and bounces off of walls, similar to some Lava Bubbles in ''[[Super Mario World]]'', except they can now bounce off of lava. Additionally, while under the effects of a [[Big Mushroom]], Lava Bubbles gain eyes and mustaches.

====''Super Mario Run''====
Vertically leaping Lava Bubbles appear in Castle levels of ''[[Super Mario Run]]''. They can be defeated only by a [[Super Star]]. Each Lava Bubble supplies players with a +3 coin bonus when in [[Toad Rally]]. The game also adds the [[Poison Bubble]] variety, which leaps out of poisonous swamps.

====''Super Mario Odyssey''====
[[File:SMO Art - E3 Char9.png|thumb|100px|left|Artwork from ''Super Mario Odyssey'' of a captured Lava Bubble]]
Lava Bubbles are encountered in the [[Luncheon Kingdom]], the [[Darker Side]], and a secret area of the [[Lost Kingdom]] in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]''. They maintain their usual behavior of jumping out of lava regularly before landing back in, possibly shifting positions as they jump or even passing through gates. A Lava Bubble can be [[capture]]d by [[Cappy]] if it is above the lava. There are also Lava Bubbles in 8-bit sections, where they maintain their abilities from ''Super Mario Bros.'', and appear in both the Luncheon Kingdom and the [[Cloud Kingdom]].

If a Lava Bubble is captured, Mario's nose, eyebrows, and mustache form on it. As a Lava Bubble, Mario can travel through lava or [[Stupendous Stew]] and be unaffected by other Lava Bubbles, though the effects wear off if he lands back out. The player can press {{button|switch|B}} to have Mario jump, {{button|switch|Leftstick}} and {{button|switch|Y}} to have Mario dash, or shake the controller to twirl during a faster dash and do a short hop. Many enemies can be defeated by Mario as a Lava Bubble, with [[Magmato]]s melting into a puddle of lava specifically. Mario as a Lava Bubble can also enter [[lava cannon]]s to be launched elsewhere on the map. Lava Bubbles can ignite [[lantern]]s on contact, only for the Lava Bubble to disappear afterward, and can release a [[Power Moon]] from just entering large pots of Stupendous Stew. A boss fight against [[Cookatiel]] occurs at Luncheon Kingdom while swimming in a giant pot of Stupendous Stew at the top of [[Mount Volbono]], which requires the use of a lava cannon to reach. Mario is forced into Lava Bubble throughout the battle, including a rematch against the boss in [[Mushroom Kingdom (Super Mario Odyssey)|Mushroom Kingdom]]. When no longer captured, Lava Bubbles do not get dazed and start jumping up and down.

====''Super Mario Maker 2''====
Lava Bubbles return as course elements in ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]''. Besides their existing role from ''Super Mario Maker'', they can be attached to parachutes and appear in the ''Super Mario 3D World'' style, where they do not leap if the player wears a [[Goomba Mask]].

====''Super Mario Bros. Wonder''====
Lava Bubbles appear only in the level [[Pull, Turn, Burn]] in ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]'', jumping out of beds of lava, including upside-down ones. Lava Bubbles are also shown on the world map of [[Deep Magma Bog]] and in the world's epilogue, startling the player characters. The game is the first appearance of the variant [[Lava Blobble]].

===''Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyūshutsu Dai Sakusen!''===
[[File:SMB-GMTSPP_Lava_Bubbles.png|thumb|Podoboos jumping up and down as Mario and Kibidango jump from platform to platform.]]
Podoboos appear briefly in ''[[Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyūshutsu Dai Sakusen!]]'', where they try to attack [[Mario]] and [[Haru-ōji|Kibidango]] after they have been knocked on platforms by [[Goomba]]s. [[Luigi]] saves Mario and Kibidango by breaking a hole in the ceiling, though to search for [[coin]]s, flooding the area as a result.

===''Nintendo Adventure Books''===
Lava Bubbles hop in an out of a lava pool at the Magma Pits in ''[[Koopa Capers]]''. As Luigi hops across rocks, he makes it across if he waits, though if not, he passes three Lava Bubbles and hits the fourth one, who responds to Luigi's remark "I'm pretty hot stuff!" with "Not as hot as me."

===''The Legend of Zelda'' series===
{{main-wiki|ZeldaWiki|Podoboo|Zelda Wiki}}
Podoboos are one of several ''Super Mario'' enemies to appear in [[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]], specifically appearing in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening]]'', ''{{iw|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons}}'', ''{{iw|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages}}'', ''{{iw|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords}}'', and ''[[zeldawiki:Cadence of Hyrule: Crypt of the NecroDancer feat. The Legend of Zelda|Cadence of Hyrule: Crypt of the NecroDancer featuring The Legend of Zelda]]''. In the first three, they appear in sidescrolling segments and act just like in the ''Super Mario'' games. In the ''Oracle'' games, a subspecies of the Lava Bubble, [[Podoboo Tower]], exists in the subterranean world of {{iw|zeldawiki|Subrosia}} in ''Oracle of Seasons'', and in the burning ruins of {{iw|zeldawiki|Symmetry City}} in ''Oracle of Ages''. In ''Four Swords'', where they are known as '''Bubbling Lava''',<ref>{{cite|author=Stratton, Bryan, and Stephen Stratton|title=''The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past/Four Swords'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide|date=December 10, 2002|publisher=[[Prima Games]]|page=176|isbn=0761541187}}</ref> they hop after the players, splitting into two small, quickly ricocheting ones when attacked. In ''Cadence of Hyrule'', they instead move around walls like [[Spark]]s.

Both ''The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening'' and ''The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords'' feature giant Podoboo-like bosses as well, with the former game having {{iw|zeldawiki|Hot Head}} and the latter having {{iw|zeldawiki|Gouen}}.

===''Yoshi's Island'' series===
[[File:LavaBubble YIDS.png|frame|left]]
Lava Bubbles appear in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' and its [[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3|Game Boy Advance version]]. They share the same behavioral patterns as in ''Super Mario World''. In this game, Lava Bubbles can be eaten by [[Yoshi]]s, giving them the power of the [[fire watermelon|red watermelon]]: the ability to spit fire. Sometimes, they jump in arcs sideways. If they land on solid ground while doing this, they will continue to bounce along it. '''Lava Drops''',<ref>{{cite|author=Williams, Drew|title=''Yoshi's Island DS'' Player's Guide|page=91|publisher=Nintendo of America|date=November 6, 2006|isbn=1-59812-016-6}}</ref><ref>{{cite|author=Black, Fletcher|title=''Yoshi's Island DS'' PRIMA Official Game Guide|date=December 19, 2006|page=218 and 250|isbn=0-7615-5576-5|publisher=Prima Games|language=en-us}}</ref> as they are named in ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'', return in the sequel, behaving identically as before.

===''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars''===
[[File:SMRPG_Sparky.png|thumb|100px|In ''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars'']]
In ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' and [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|its remake]], Lava Bubbles (referred to as '''Sparkies''' in the original game) are encountered in the [[Mole Mines]] and the optionally-traversed [[Pipe Vault]]. Lava Bubbles hover in the air during battle and attack by spinning their body into one of the player characters. One can also use [[Hot Shot]] to shoot a fiery orb at one of them. Despite being made of fire, Lava Bubbles are vulnerable to [[jump]] attacks from Mario, but are unaffected by all lava attacks. Lava Bubbles typically fight in groups of one to three. Lava Bubbles have two varieties specific to the game, [[Lava Blubble]]s and [[Lava Babble]]s.

===''Yoshi's Story''===
[[File:LavabubbleYS.png|frame|left]]
'''Spark Spooks'''<ref>{{cite|author=Leung, Jason, Terry Munson, and Scott Pelland|title=''Yoshi's Story'' Player's Guide|language=en-us|date=1998|page=11}}</ref> reappear in ''[[Yoshi's Story]]''. They behave like the do in ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'', but cannot be eaten. They appear the levels [[Blargg's Boiler]] and [[Magma Castle]]. There is also another variant, [[Lava Ghost]]s.

===''Mario Party'' series===
In most ''[[Mario Party (series)|Mario Party]]'' games prior to ''Mario Party 8'', Lava Bubbles are depicted as flames, causing them to resemble [[Fire Snake]]s, and appear mostly in [[minigame]]s. They are named Podoboos in most minigames prior to ''Mario Party 8''.

====''Mario Party''====
Podoboos are obstacles in the [[Hot Rope Jump]] minigame of ''[[Mario Party]]''. The object for contestants is to jump over the flaming rope twenty times. If one fails to do so, they will lose fifteen [[coin]]s&mdash;five of those coins will be given to each opposing player. If all players complete the minigame successfully, everyone will receive ten coins. If multiple players don't jump during the fire, 1 player loses at random.

====''Mario Party 2'' / ''Mario Party Superstars''====
[[File:Mario Party 2 Hot Rope Jump.png|thumb|Podoboos in the ''Mario Party 2'' iteration of the Hot Rope Jump minigame]]
Podoboos are obstacles in a different iteration of the Hot Rope Jump minigame in ''[[Mario Party 2]]'', also included in ''[[Mario Party Superstars]]''. The minigame starts by jumping over slow, blue Podoboos five times, then the Podoboos become orange and move more swiftly. The rope keeps twirling until only one contestant remains.<ref>{{cite|title=In-game dialogue, ''Mario Party 2''|date=2000|publisher=Nintendo of America|quote=The flaming Podoboo rope spins and spins. Jump the rope without touching a Podoboo.}}</ref>

====''Mario Party 3''====
Podoboos are obstacles in the minigames [[All Fired Up]], [[Treadmill Grill]], and [[Eye Sore]], as well as targets in [[Hyper Hydrants]] in ''[[Mario Party 3]]''. Podoboos have to be avoided in All Fired Up,<ref>{{cite|title=In-game dialogue, ''Mario Party 3''|date=2001|publisher=Nintendo of America|quote=Do your best to avoid getting hit by a Podoboo!}}</ref> with the winner being the final character remaining.

====''Mario Party 4''====
Podoboos are a board feature in ''[[Mario Party 4]]''. They jump out of the lava in [[Bowser's Gnarly Party]].

====''Mario Party 5'' / ''Mario Party: The Top 100''====
Podoboos are obstacles in the [[Heat Stroke]] minigame in ''[[Mario Party 5]]'', also included in ''[[Mario Party: The Top 100]]''. They land on the platforms the three players were on. Podoboos are also items, in the form of a [[Podoboo Orb|Bubble Capsule]], which moves the player forward ten spaces, at the expense of every item within their inventory.

====''Mario Party 6''====
Podoboos are obstacles in the [[Daft Rafts]] minigame, though only at night, in ''[[Mario Party 6]]''. Podoboos return as items, though this time their [[orb]] was renamed to Podoboo Orb.

====''Mario Party Advance''====
Podoboos are obstacles in the minigame, [[Go-go Pogo]], in ''[[Mario Party Advance]]''. Touching a Podoboo is one way for the player character to lose the minigame.

====''Mario Party 8''====
[[File:Lava Bubbles in MP8.png|thumb|left|Several Lava Bubbles as they appear in Goomba's Booty Boardwalk in ''Mario Party 8''.]]
Lava Bubbles are obstacles in the [[Lava or Leave 'Em]] minigame and a board feature of [[Goomba's Booty Boardwalk]] in ''[[Mario Party 8]]''. The Lava or Leave 'Em minigame has a Lava Bubble capable of splitting into several other Lava Bubbles. Three Lava Bubbles are summoned by [[Bowser]] on a [[Bowser Space]] of Goomba's Booty Boardwalk if a player character lands there. The character can jump over the Lava Bubbles to dodge them as they move towards the center. The Lava Bubbles only try to hurt the player three times, in a time frame of ten seconds, and take away ten coins with each successful attempt.

====''Mario Party 9''====
Lava Bubbles are a board feature and the basis of a [[Mini Star]] constellation in ''[[Mario Party 9]]''. The Mini Star constellation, found in the Museum, is simply named '''Fireballs'''. Lava Bubbles only physically appear in [[Magma Mine]], where they can jump off the magma.

====''Mario Party: Island Tour''====
Lava Bubbles are a non-interactable species in the [[Match Faker]] and [[Tap Dash]] minigames and a board feature in ''[[Mario Party: Island Tour]]''. In both minigames, a Lava Bubble can appear as one of the guesses. Lava Bubbles appear jumping from the lava on the [[Bowser's Peculiar Peak]] board in particular. 

====''Mario Party 10''====
Lava Bubbles are obstacles in ''[[Mario Party 10]]''. They appear only in [[Chaos Castle]], where contact with one costs the affected player [[Mini Star]]s in Mario Party only, while the number of spaces will be reduced to 0.

====''Mario Party: Star Rush''====
Lava Bubbles are items in ''[[Mario Party: Star Rush]]''. They are exclusive to [[Coinathlon]], where Lava Bubble stuns the targeted player for a few seconds and removes coins and [[Item Box]]es when used.

[[File:LavaBubble MarioGolfSuperRush.png|thumb|100px]]
Lava Bubbles are obstacles in ''[[Mario Golf: Super Rush]]''. They appear in [[Bowser Highlands]] only, where hitting one with the ball attracts a one-stroke penalty.

===''Paper Mario'' series===
====''Paper Mario''====
[[File:PM Lava Bubble idle.gif|frame|left]]
In ''[[Paper Mario]]'', Lava Bubbles appear as common enemies in [[Mt. Lavalava]]. Because of their fiery bodies, they can not be jumped on; Mario can only harm them with [[hammer]]-based attacks, unless he has a [[Fire Shield]] or [[Ice Power]] badge equipped. In this game, Lava Bubbles are weak to water and ice. Lava Bubbles can either jump on Mario or damage Mario's partner, causing the partner to become [[Injured]] unless the partner blocks the attack. This also takes up the Lava Bubble's turn. A stronger, blue-colored variety of Lava Bubble, called [[Ember]]s, appear as enemies in [[Star Way]].

In ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', they can be found in the [[Pirate's Grotto]] as well as in the [[Pit of 100 Trials (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door)|Pit of 100 Trials]]. Mario has to attack them with his [[Hammer]] since they cannot be jumped on unless he is equipped with an Ice Power [[Badge|badge]]. In this game, they attack by getting close to either Mario or the partner, and burning them with their body, causing 4 damage. They can also spit fireballs that hit either Mario or his partner. These fireballs cause only 3 damage, but they can set Mario (or his partner) [[Burn|on fire]]. Ice and explosions are their main weakness. They are referred to as "flame spirits" in their descriptions, while the related [[Ember]]s are commonly called "ghosts." If hit by a fire attack (such as Vivian's Fiery Jinx), they will either duplicate or restore HP.

====''Super Paper Mario''====
In ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', they jump out of lava pits in [[The Underwhere]], just as they do in the main series; however, they can be damaged in this game. The player can use [[Carrie]] to [[jump]] on them, use [[Boomer (Super Paper Mario)|Boomer]] to explode on them, hit them with [[Cudge]], or hit them with [[Barry]]. It is possible for them to traverse on land; the player will have to pick them up with [[Thoreau]] and drop them. While on land, Lava Bubbles can pass through pipes and get trapped in spikes. Visually, their flames are no longer slanted, and they do not flip over at the top of their jump as in previous ''Super Mario'' games.

====''Paper Mario: Sticker Star''====
Lava Bubbles appear in the stage [[Bowser's Sky Castle]], during the third phase of the Bowser battle, in ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]''. As soon as Mario approaches Bowser in a lava-filled area of the final hallway, the Bubbles can be seen jumping up and down in the lava. When it is Bowser's turn to attack, he lifts his pointer finger in the air, and ten Lava Bubbles are sent towards Mario. They each deal two points of damage to Mario. Only the first Lava Bubble can be blocked, but Mario is helpless against the nine that follow. However, they have a weakness.

The only way to harm the Lava Bubbles is with a thing sticker with cold or freezing properties. An example of one such sticker is the Refrigerator. After using the sticker, the Lava Bubbles are frozen. Using a wind Thing Sticker like the [[Fan]] make Bowser and the Lava Bubbles fly in the air. Bowser falls, and all 10 Lava Bubbles will fall on Bowser doing 10 damage each. However, more Lava Bubbles will spawn after a few turns. In this game, the Lava Bubbles more closely resemble their visual appearances in ''Super Mario'' platformers, as opposed to that of previous ''Paper Mario'' games.

====''Paper Mario: Color Splash''====
[[File:PMCS Big Lava Bubble.png|thumb|100px|The [[Big Lava Bubble]] sprite in ''Paper Mario: Color Splash''.]]
Lava Bubbles return in ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]''. They have three forms: a "normal" version, a [[black paint]] version known as [[Black Lava Bubble]], and an 8-bit version named Dot Bubbles{{Derived}}<ref>''Paper Mario: Color Splash'' Japanese internal name (ドットキラー) referenced in <tt>content/data/fld/data_chr.elf.lz</tt></ref>, the latter of which is only shown in the course dedicated to ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', [[Green Energy Plant]]. In [[Redpepper Volcano]], a [[Snifit]] can be seen teaching a [[Fire Bro]] how to aim his fireballs, using a Lava Bubble as a target.

Outside battle, normal Lava Bubbles emerge from lava, chase [[Mario]] and after a few seconds retreat into the lava if they do not make it to hit him. These Lava Bubbles damage Mario in battle if he jumps on them with non-Iron Jump cards. Moreover, direct-contact hammer attacks result in Mario's hammer getting burned, canceling his attack. Normal Lava Bubbles are very weak to Ice Flower cards.

There is also a [[Big Lava Bubble]] in [[Redpepper Crater]] that serves as a mini-boss. A [[Shy Guy]] translates what he says to Mario while battling and when confronting him.

====''Paper Mario: The Origami King''====
{{main|Paper Macho Lava Bubble}}
In ''[[Paper Mario: The Origami King]]'', [[Paper Macho Soldier|Paper Macho]] versions of Lava Bubbles appear in [[Hotfoot Crater]] during the Paper Macho Goomba chase. They fly out from the lava and bounce along the ground, creating small pools of lava that damage Mario upon contact.

===''Mario & Luigi'' series===
====''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'' / ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions''====
[[File:Lava Bubbles MLSS.png|thumb|Podoboos in ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga''.]]
They are obstacles in a side-scrolling area of {{id|Bowser's Castle|M&LSS}} in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' and its [[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions|remake]].

====''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team''====
Lava Bubbles are enemies featured during the first section of [[Neo Bowser Castle]] in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]''. Lava Bubbles jump straight up and down, though some in groups of two or three do so at a very fast pace, requiring either a [[Side Drill]] or a [[Spin Jump (Mario & Luigi series)|Spin Jump]] to bypass them. Slower moving Lava Bubbles may leap in an arc over the path.

===''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'' series===
====''Mario vs. Donkey Kong''====
[[File:MvsDK Podoboo.png|thumb|left]]
[[File:LavaBubbleMVDK.png|thumb|Lava Bubble in the [[Mario vs. Donkey Kong (Nintendo Switch)|remake]]]]
Podoboos are enemies located in [[Fire Mountain (world)|Fire Mountain]] in ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong]]'', where they instantly defeat Mario or [[Mini-Mario]] upon contact, like in other games. Podoboos received an updated design in the [[Mario vs. Donkey Kong (Nintendo Switch)|remake]] to more closely resemble their design in ''[[Super Mario World]]'', which is more prominent while in motion.

====''Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis''====
Podoboos are enemies found in [[Lava Dome]] in ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis]]''

===''Super Mario Stadium'' series===
In both ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]'' and ''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]'', Lava Bubbles appear in the [[Bowser Castle (baseball stadium)|Bowser Castle]] stadium. They jump from the lava pits onto the outfield, creating brief fiery splashes that can burn players and make them drop the ball.

===''Mario Kart'' series===
Lava Bubbles appear as obstacles throughout various [[Bowser's Castle]] courses in the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' series]]. They also appear as obstacles in ''[[Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit]]'', appearing on [[Ember Island]] stunning drivers that make contact with them.

===''Super Princess Peach''===
[[File:Fury Volcano 4-3.png|thumb|Podoboos in ''Super Princess Peach'']]
Podoboos are encountered in [[Fury Volcano]] and [[Bowser's Villa]] in ''[[Super Princess Peach]]'', retaining their behavior from side-scrolling ''Super Mario'' games. There is additionally a blue variant in Bowser's Villa, which hover over blue lava and slowly follow [[Princess Peach|Peach]] whenever she is near a torch. Luring the blue Podoboos to unlit torches is required to open certain doorways. The blue Podoboos are absent from the in-game glossary, like [[Unshelled Koopa Troopa|unshelled Koopa]]s, [[Blindfold Boo]]s, and [[Mihari]].

===''Mario Sports Mix''===
Lava Bubbles are obstacles in [[Bowser's Castle (Mario Sports Mix)|Bowser's Castle]] in ''[[Mario Sports Mix]]'', where they burn player characters on contact, as usual.

===''Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games''===
Lava Bubbles are part of the [[Bowser's Castle]] segment of [[Mario's Figure Skating Spectacular]] in ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games]]'', being jumped over by the player characters at certain points during the routine.

===''Minecraft''===
In the Super Mario Mash-Up Pack in ''[[Minecraft]]'', {{iw|minecraftwiki|Magma Cube}}s are replaced by Lava Bubbles.

===''WarioWare: Get It Together!''===
Lava Bubbles are featured in level 3 of the [[Super Mario Bros. (WarioWare: Get It Together!)|Super Mario Bros.]] and [[Super Mario World (WarioWare: Get It Together!)|Super Mario World]] microgames of ''[[WarioWare: Get It Together!]]'', behaving identically as in the actual ''Super Mario Bros.'' and ''Super Mario World'', respectively. 

===Other appearances===
[[File:KnTnKwN Lava Bubble.png|frame]]
In ''{{iw|nwiki|Kaeru no Tame ni Kane wa Naru}}'', Podoboos appear with their usual design as obstacles in sidescrolling areas. They jump from lava as they normally do, but sometimes travel in wide arcs, turning sideways as they do so.

===Unused appearances===
====''Dr. Mario World''====
[[File:DMW-LavaBubble.png|thumb|Unused artwork of a Lava Bubble in ''Dr. Mario World''.]]
A Lava Bubble was originally going to appear in ''[[Dr. Mario World]]'' as an assistant, but it was removed from the game.<ref>https://drmarioworld.miraheze.org/wiki/Assistants</ref>

====Blue Lava Bubble====
"'''Blue Lava Bubbles'''" refers to a specific type of Lava Bubble in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', and ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]''. In the first ''Super Mario Galaxy'', it is the only type of Lava Bubbles in the game and their color is not specified in paratexts. "Normal" Lava Bubbles are reincorporated in ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'', in which their color is denoted. They do not behave like the Lava Bubbles in previous or subsequent games. In ''Super Mario 3D World'', the difference between Blue Lava Bubbles and "normal" ones is cosmetic but they are still recognized as distinct on the [[Mario Portal]] page for ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]''. This is not followed on the page for the original [[Wii U]] game.
