| '''Lava Lotuses''' are [[List of enemies|enemies]] in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. They are artificial flowers<ref name=enmanual>{{cite|title=''Super Mario Bros. 3'' instruction booklet|page=36|date=1990|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us}}</ref> that live underwater. A Lava Lotus resembles a large translucent version of [[Panser]] from ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', but according to ''[[Nintendo Power]]'', Lava Lotuses have a relation to [[Piranha Plant]]s,<ref>{{cite|quote=An aquatic relative of the Piranha Plants, the Lotus spits fiery lava bits.|author=Tilden, Gail, et al.|title=''Nintendo Power'' Volume 13|page=9|date=June 1990|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us}}</ref> despite there being no such indication in the original instruction booklet. Lava Lotuses are capable of creating and storing [[lava]] balls under their transparent petals and attack by opening up to release them. The lava balls can go through [[platform]]s and make navigating underwater difficult. The number of lava balls Lava Lotuses shoot out is random and can be up to five at a time. The lava balls travel rather slowly and in a straight line from their point of release. They can be defeated only by [[Hammer Mario]] or [[Invincible Mario]].

| Lava Lotuses have appeared in {{iw|wikipedia|Western world|Western}}-exclusive media of the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]] a few times. One appears briefly in the episode "[[Oh, Brother!]]" of ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', where it unleashes lava balls on [[Frog Mario|Frog Luigi]], who manages to swim past them with ease. In the book ''[[Dinosaur Dilemma]]'', [[Mario]] avoids some Lava Lotuses while collecting [[coin]]s in [[Lake Trilobite]]. | | A '''Lava Lotus''' is a plant in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' that lives underwater. They are capable of creating and storing [[Fireball]]s under their transparent leaves and attack by opening up to release them. The fireballs can go through platforms and make navigating underwater difficult. The number they shoot out is random and can be up to five at a time. The fireballs travel rather slowly and in a straight line from their point of release. The Japanese name of the Lava Lotus, Suichūka, refers to a type of artificial flower that blossoms underwater. |

| ==Profiles==
| | Lava Lotuses were given a land counterpart, the [[Volcano Lotus]], in ''[[Super Mario World]]'', which did not feature Lava Lotuses. They had a very similar attack pattern, however they were terrestrial as opposed to aquatic. These Volcano Lotuses have also made an appearance in ''[[Super Princess Peach]]'', leaving Lava Lotuses with only one game appearance (not including ''Super Mario Bros. 3's'' remakes).<ref>http://themushroomkingdom.net/smb3_j-e.shtml</ref> |

| | A single Lava Lotus appeared briefly in ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' episode "[[Oh, Brother!]]". This Lava Lotus unleashed its fireballs on [[Frog Mario|Frog Luigi]], who managed to swim past them with ease, mainly due to the [[Frog Suit]] that [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] had advised him to wear. |
