Editing Mt. Lavalava

'''Mt. Lavalava''' is a volcano on [[Lavalava Island]] in ''[[Paper Mario]]''. As the main part of the chapter, it is where [[Mario]] and his team find the fifth [[Star Spirit]], [[Misstar]]. It is also the home of the vile [[Lava Piranha]], whom Mario and his friends must defeat to free Misstar. The [[Ultra Hammer]] is found here. [[Kolorado]] accompanies Mario through most of the volcano, but he is not interested in searching for a Star Spirit; rather, he just wants to follow Mario to get the treasure hidden in the volcano: a [[Volcano Vase]]. The music inside Mt. Lavalava is an arrangement of the underground theme from ''[[Super Mario World]]''.

In Chapter 5, the two initially see the entrance of Mt. Lavalava, but are blocked by a lava pit. After a series of events, Mario and Kolorado make their way to Mt. Lavalava with some ropeways built by [[Raphael]]'s [[Raven]]s. Upon their entrance, Mario is identified by a [[Putrid Piranha]] who then shouts "ALERT" and "REPORT TO BOSS". As the two proceed, Mario does most of the exploration, clearing [[Metal Block]]s with the [[Ultra Hammer]] found inside the volcano, while Kolorado suffers various injuries while trying to be useful and even leads Mario to the wrong way at a spot. Deep in the volcano, Mario is identified by another Piranha Plant as searching for the Star Spirit, and encounters [[Lava Piranha]], the chapter boss. Mario defeats it, and saves [[Misstar]]. This marks the end of Chapter 5.
