Li'l Cinders,[1] originally known as Lava Bubbles,[2] are enemies in Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2. Their name directly references "cinder," which is a small part of any highly combustible material. They have an ice counterpart called Li'l Brrs. Li'l Cinders spawn from lava pools, though sometimes they are encountered above land. They slowly chase Mario (or Luigi) upon spotting him and attempt to ram into him to inflict damage. If Mario touches a Li'l Cinder, he catches fire and starts running around uncontrollably while losing a wedge of his life meter. Mario can use a spin attack nearby or shoot a Star Bit to put out the flame surrounding a Li'l Cinder, making it fall on the ground vulnerable. In this state, the enemy attempts to escape Mario by hopping away and seeks a pool of lava to regenerate its flame. However, in its cold state, the Li'l Cinder can be kicked or jumped on to defeat it, producing a coin. In Super Mario Galaxy 2, Li'l Cinders can also be spawned by Magikoopas. If Mario rolls a snowball into a Li'l Cinder, he instantly defeats it. In Super Mario Galaxy, Li'l Cinders are found in the Freezeflame Galaxy and Melty Molten Galaxy. In Super Mario Galaxy 2, Li'l Cinders appear in the Freezy Flake Galaxy, Battle Belt Galaxy, and Mario Squared Galaxy.

Although the Li'l Brrs have a boss variant, the Li'l Cinders do not.
