==History==
===''Super Mario World'' / ''Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2''===
Volcano Lotuses appear in ''Super Mario World'' and ''[[Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2]]''. They are stationary enemies that periodically spew four small fireballs into the air at a diagonal angle, which proceed to slowly float down on the surrounding area after reaching their highest point. While invulnerable to [[Fire Mario]]'s fireballs, Volcano Lotuses can be defeated by whirling [[Mario]]'s (or [[Luigi]]'s) [[Cape Feather|Cape]] next to them, crushing them with a Body Press as [[Cape Mario|Caped Mario]], or eating them with a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]. [[Spin Jump|Spin-jump]]ing on them or stepping on them while riding a Yoshi does not harm them, but it makes the player bounce off without taking damage.

The player can encounter Volcano Lotuses in the courses [[Donut Plains 1]], [[Tubular]], and [[Groovy]].

===''Super Mario World'' (television series)===
A Volcano Lotus, referred to as a '''Fire Plant''', appears in the episode "[[Send in the Clown]]" of the [[Super Mario World (television series)|''Super Mario World'' television series]]. It produces the fireballs that Mario, Luigi, [[Yoshi]], and [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] use in a tennis game (in lieu of actual tennis balls).

===''Super Princess Peach''===
Volcano Plants appear in ''[[Super Princess Peach]]''. They also received a Calm counterpart, the [[C. V. Plant]].

===''Minecraft''===
In the Super Mario Mash-Up Pack in ''[[Minecraft]]'', {{iw|minecraftwiki|Spore Blossom}}s are replaced with Volcano Lotuses.
