'''Burn Bits''' are Enemies in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', and are the fiery counterparts of [[Brrr Bits]]. To defeat one, Mario must use a [[Star Spin]] to put out the flame surrounding it, and it will fall to the ground stunned just like any other enemy. If the player is not quick to hit the Burn Bit while it is vulnerable, it will start to hop around, attempting to jump in the lava and regenerate its flame.

Lava Bubbles first appear in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', where they sometimes spawn from [[lava]] pools. Mario can use a [[spin]] attack nearby or shoot a [[Star Bit]] to put out the flame surrounding a Lava Bubble, making it fall on the ground vulnerable and blackened. In this state, the enemy attempts to escape Mario by weakly and unpredictably hopping away and seeks a pool of lava to regenerate its flame. While in its cold state, the Lava Bubble can be kicked or [[jump]]ed on to defeat it, producing a [[coin]]. However, Lava Bubbles produce nothing upon defeat in [[Prankster Comet|Daredevil Comet]] conditions. Lava Bubbles are completely immune to [[Fire Mario]]'s [[fireball]]s, with their bodies simply absorbing the flame. They are the most common enemy in the [[Melty Molten Galaxy]].

Lava Bubbles first appear in Super Mario Galaxy, where they sometimes spawn from lava pools. Mario can use a spin attack nearby or shoot a Star Bit to put out the flame surrounding a Lava Bubble, making it fall on the ground vulnerable and blackened. In this state, the enemy attempts to escape Mario by weakly and unpredictably hopping away and seeks a pool of lava to regenerate its flame. While in its cold state, the Lava Bubble can be kicked or jumped on to defeat it, producing a coin. However, Lava Bubbles produce nothing upon defeat in Daredevil Comet conditions. Lava Bubbles are completely immune to Fire Mario's fireballs, with their bodies simply absorbing the flame. They are the most common enemy in the Melty Molten Galaxy.
