'''Burn Bits''' are enemies in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', and are the fiery counterparts of [[Brrr Bit]]s. 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.

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. However, Li'l Cinders produce nothing upon defeat in Daredevil Comet conditions. 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. Li'l Cinders have an immunity to fireballs, their bodies absorbing the flame. 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.
