A '''Lava Lotus''' is an artificial flower<ref>''"An artificial flower that grows and blooms deep in the sea. Look out for the lava balls that it will release."'' - ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' English instruction booklet, page 36.</ref> that lives underwater in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. They are capable of creating and storing lava balls 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. They can only be defeated by [[Hammer Mario]], Hammer Luigi, or a [[Super Star|Starman]].

Lava Lotuses were given a land counterpart, the [[Volcano Plant|Volcano Lotus]], in ''[[Super Mario World]]'', which did not feature Lava Lotuses. They had a very similar attack pattern, but they were terrestrial instead of aquatic. These Volcano Plants also appeared in ''[[Super Princess Peach]]'', leaving Lava Lotuses with only one game appearance (not including ''Super Mario Bros. 3''{{'}}s [[reissue]]s).

A single Lava Lotus appears briefly in ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' episode "[[Oh, Brother!]]". This Lava Lotus unleashes its fireballs on [[Frog Luigi]], who manages to swim past them with ease.

In the [[Nintendo Adventure Book]] ''[[Dinosaur Dilemma]]'', [[Mario]] avoids some Lava Lotuses while collecting [[coin]]s in Lake Trilobite.

According to [[Nintendo Power]], Lava Lotuses have a relation to [[Piranha Plant]]s,<ref>"''An aquatic relative of the Piranha Plants, the Lotus spits fiery lava bits.''" - ''Nintendo Power'' Volume 13, page 9.</ref> despite there being no such indication in the original instruction booklet.

-'''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]].
