Volcanic debris[1][2] are recurring molten rocks first seen in Mario Party. They are often found falling from the background of volcano-based levels.

History[edit]

Mario Party[edit]

Volcanic debris first appears in Bowser's Magma Mountain in Mario Party, where it is launched from a volcano when a player lands on a Happening Space. It changes the Blue Spaces into Red Spaces for two turns.

Mario Kart series[edit]

Mario Kart: Super Circuit[edit]

Volcanic debris (under the name of Lava Boulders[3] or volcanic rocks)[4] appears in Mario Kart: Super Circuit, where the volcanoes in the background of Lakeside Park launch it onto the track. The racers are burned if they run into it.

Mario Kart Wii[edit]

In Mario Kart Wii, volcanic debris appears on Grumble Volcano, where it is fired from volcanoes, and spins out racers that crash into it. It remains on the ground for some time after it lands.

Mario Kart 8 / Mario Kart 8 Deluxe[edit]

Volcanic debris reappears in Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, where it returns in Grumble Volcano. It moves slower than in Mario Kart Wii when it is falling to the ground, and the flames are also smaller when they make impact with the ground.

Mario Kart Tour[edit]

Lava Balls[5] return on the Mario Kart Tour rendition of GBA Lakeside Park. They tumble down the trails and slopes of the course, similarly to rolling rocks, while also producing craters which drivers can perform Jump Boosts from. The Lava Balls themselves cause drivers to crash on contact, but can be destroyed by hitting them with a Bowser's Shell, Bob-omb, Super Horn, Giga Bob-omb, or Super Bell, or by ramming into them while under the effects of a Frenzy, Mega Mushroom, Bullet Bill, or Super Star. When a player destroys a Lava Ball, they receive bonus points.

Donkey Kong franchise[edit]

Donkey Kong Jungle Beat[edit]

In Donkey Kong Jungle Beat, volcanic debris first appears at the end of Sweet Paradise, a sky-themed level, though later only appears in volcano levels. They fall diagonally from the top of the screen before exploding.

Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze[edit]

In Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, volcanic debris makes an appearance in the level Mountain Mania, where after a statue of an owl gets split, volcanic debris starts erupting from the resulting fissure, destroying many of the following bridge segments.

Super Mario series[edit]

New Super Mario Bros.[edit]

Volcanic debris reappears in World 8-8 of New Super Mario Bros., which is a level with many Kab-ombs. These rocks destroy blocks, set off the fuses on Kab-ombs and hurt Mario or Luigi if they touch one. They can be destroyed with a Super Star.

New Super Mario Bros. Wii[edit]

The rocks later appear in New Super Mario Bros. Wii, and is mostly found in World 8-1 alongside hazardous ash, Buzzy Beetles and rising lava spouts. Larger debris also appears, and can plow through several blocks before landing, in addition to taking up more space. Some volcanic debris also appears at the beginning of World 8-2.

New Super Mario Bros. 2[edit]

New Super Mario Bros. U / New Super Luigi U / New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe[edit]

In New Super Mario Bros. U, New Super Luigi U, and New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe, volcanic debris was replaced by Meteors and Bowser's Fireballs, though they have the same behavior.

Super Mario Bros. Wonder[edit]

Volcanic debris return in Super Mario Bros. Wonder in Wavy Ride through the Magma Tube's Wonder Effect, where they are spawned by the giant Spike statue.

Paper Mario series[edit]

Paper Mario: Sticker Star[edit]

In Paper Mario: Sticker Star, volcanic debris is only found in one level, Rugged Road. The molten rocks can still hurt Mario if he touches them, but now they can also harm him if he gets caught in the spot where they land for about one second. In addition, the rocks also home in on Mario.

Paper Mario: Color Splash[edit]

Volcanic debris appears in Paper Mario: Color Splash in the level Kiwano Temple. It appears at the end of the level, where it jumps out of the lava and hovers over the platform Mario and Huey are on. If Mario touches it, he will take 8 HP of damage.

Mario & Luigi: Dream Team[edit]

Volcanic debris also appears in Mario & Luigi: Dream Team, where it is used as a weapon for Mount Pajamaja.
