{{course infobox
'''Lethal Lava Land''' is the seventh course in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', and later ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. As the name suggests, it is a course filled with [[Lava]]. There are many traps in the course compared to most previous levels. The primary enemies in the stage are the [[Bully|Bullies]]. There are also [[Firebar]]s, a [[Mr. I]], and many [[Podoboo]]s that jump out of the lava and bounce on the floor. The boss, in fact, is a [[Big Bully]] that [[Mario]] must push into lava. They exist in this stage as an annoyance to push Mario into the lava of the course. Unlike most other Mario games, the lava does not immediately defeat Mario; instead, it depletes Mario's health by three and sends him flying around. Fortunately, there are no bottomless pits to take away a life instantly.

'''Lethal Lava Land''' is the seventh course of ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. The entrance to the course is the large [[painting]] with a menacing-looking [[fireball (obstacle)|fireball]] (implied by the course's Japanese name to be a [[Lava Bubble|Sparky]]) located in the [[Peach's Castle|Mushroom Castle]]'s basement. The course has many [[platform]]s situated over a pool of [[lava]] with a volcano in the center of the course.


[[Image:Firepainting.jpg|left|thumb|The painting leading to Lethal Lava Land.]]
In the [[Nintendo DS]] version, this course is the only course where any player character can collect any [[Power Star]]. Additionally, Lethal Lava Land is the only course that allows [[Mario]] to obtain his [[Power Flower (Super Mario 64 DS)|Power Flower]] and [[fly]]ing abilities in the same area (this means not going into a separate part of a course—i.e., the [[Shifting Sand Land|pyramid]] or the [[Snowman's Land|igloo]]). Lethal Lava Land features Egyptian-styled music, as it shares its music with [[Shifting Sand Land]].
Highlights of this stage include a sliding puzzle that forms a picture of Bowser, many tilting platforms which easily dip Mario into lava, and a rolling log along which Mario must run. Most notable is a volcano in the center of the stage. In the DS version, [[Power Flower]]s can save [[Wario]] from taking damage in the lava in this stage. Instead, [[Metal Mario|Metal Wario]] gradually sinks into the lava as he walks along it, and must continuously jump to keep on the surface, similar to parts of [[Shifting Sand Land]].


The entrance to Lethal Lava Land is a painting of what appears to be a fireball with an eerie face, and is located in the basement of [[Princess Peach's Castle]].
==Layout==
<br clear=all>
===Main course===
[[File:SM64DS Lethal Lava Land Map 1.png|frame|left|Map of Lethal Lava Land in ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'']]
The player starts off on a platform with a couple of [[sign]]s, and the player has to [[Long Jump|long-jump]] in order to reach the next platform. This platform splits into either a small circular platform on the right that contains a [[! Block|yellow block]] with a [[Green Shell|Shiny Shell]] inside during the later missions or a platform to the left that has several Sparkies jumping across it. At the end of the left path is a large platform with a single [[Bully]]. Here, the platform splits and leads to either the left or the right side of the course.


==Levels==
To the right are a lava plume and a ramp and platform that lead to the spinning ring platform that circles the volcano and a [[flamethrower]] with a [[1-Up Mushroom|1-UP Mushroom]] on top of it at the back of the platform. If the player stands on this platform, it will slow to a halt; the volcano will erupt, spewing out several fireballs; and then the platform will resume moving. To the right are platforms that lower into and rise out of the lava. Here, the platforms lead to either a circular platform with a duo of Bullies or an M-shaped platform. The platform with the Bullies has a steel-grated platform that brings the player to a [[rolling log]]. The M-shaped platform leads to four sinking and rising platforms with a large platform with a trio of Bullies, where a [[Big Bully]] will be fought if the player defeats the normal Bullies.
The level titles and numbers correspond to ''Super Mario 64'' unless otherwise noted.


===Star 1: Boil The Big Bully===
To the left of the large platform with the Bully is a drawbridge leading to a steel-grated platform with a [[Mr. I|Mr. I.]] and a [[warp]] underneath it. The warp leads to a small platform containing a [[Cap Block|red block]] with the [[Wing Cap]]. Past the Mr. I. is a platform tilting in and out of the lava with a group of sliding puzzle platforms with [[Bowser]]'s image. Beyond the picture of Bowser is a platform with a couple of Bullies leading to a spinning platform with a [[Fire Bar|fire bar]], and a couple of platforms beyond that lead to a Big Bully. The spinning platform does not hold Bullies when they are pushed onto it, causing the Bullies to fall through it.
[[Image:Boilbully.jpg|200px|left|thumb]]
This level is the same in both ''Super Mario 64'' and its remake, ''Super Mario 64 DS''. After Mario enters the stage, he needs to go up to the northern end of the stage across bridges, [[firebar]]s, and the Bowser puzzle. Mario should then see a large bully on a square platform across the area. Using a variety of punches, kicks, and other attacks, Mario will be able to push the Big Bully off the arena and into the lava. The Star will appear atop another platform and a set of steps (which will break apart) will also appear leading the plumber to it.


===Star 2: Bully The Bullies===
===Inside the volcano===
[[Image:Boilbullies11.jpg|200px|thumb|]]
[[File:SM64DS Lethal Lava Land Map 2.png|frame|left|Map of the volcano in ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'']]
This level is the same in both ''Super Mario 64'' and its remake. Mario should head to the right of the site of his battle with Big Bully. He'll see a larger platform with three regular [[Bullies]]. With his punches, kicks, and attacks, the plumber can easily defeat the smaller bullies. After defeating the trio, a Big Bully will drop down and fight Mario. After pushing it into the lava below, the Power Star will appear in the center of the platform.
Jumping into the volcano in the center of the course brings the player to the inside of the volcano. The volcano has several platforms that ring around the volcano's walls and [[lift]]s that spiral up to the top. There are several Bullies, Sparkies, fire bars, and flamethrowers along with a [[hidden smasher]] that will attempt to flatten the player if they get close. The platforms can get small near the top of the course, and there are several poles the player has to [[jump]] between as well.  


===Star 3: 8-Coin Puzzle With 15 Pieces===
If the player loses a life in the volcano and reenters the course, they will be brought back to the inside of the volcano without having to go though the main course again, provided the life lost does not result in a [[Game Over]].
[[File:8-Coin Puzzle.PNG|200px|left|thumb]]
{{br|left}}
This level is the same in both ''Super Mario 64'' and its remake. Here, Mario should head straight until coming up to a bridge that he will then cross. Then Mario needs to go left again and cross another bridge that opens and closes repeatedly, giving Mario a chance to fall off. Heading right afterwards, the red capped plumber should see platforms with a picture of Bowser on it. The pieces will shift around and Mario will have to collect the eight [[red coins]] above them while avoiding falling into the lava. The power star will appear above the [[star marker]] on the stone platform in the corner of the puzzle.


===Star 4: Red-Hot Log Rolling===
==Missions==
[[Image:Red-Hot_Log_Rolling.PNG|200px|thumb]]
{|class="wikitable"text-align="center"
This level is the same in both ''Super Mario 64'' and its remake. Mario will need to travel to the right of the volcano in the center of the stage. There will be a platform with two bullies. Mario will then have to go across the platform on the side, avoiding flames shooting out of the fire. He will then be near a large log that he should stand on, causing it to spin. Mario will need to keep his balance and cross the log and then go left across a narrow pathway to reach the Power Star. Mario can also grab the Wing Cap power-up and use it to fly over the fence and land on the platform with the star. In the DS remake the player can simply skip the log by doing a backward jump, by using Luigi, and head to the star.

[[File:Volcano SM64.png|200px|left|thumb|Mario in the volcano.]]
<gallery>
This level is the same in both ''Super Mario 64'' and its remake. To get this star, Mario must jump in the volcano located in the center of the stage. Inside there are many black islands. Mario must go across them until he gets to the walkway that follows the perimeter of the volcano's interior. On the way up, there are some Bullies to push Mario off, leading him to a possible death. Also, one part of the wall can fall and crush Mario if he isn't paying attention. Later on, there is a section with floating platforms. Mario needs to jump one-by-one to the other side where he will find poles leading to the star. Carefully, Mario must jump pole-to-pole without missing. If he makes it, the star will be waiting at the end of the walkway.

===Star 6: Elevator Tour Into the Volcano===
==Statistics from ''Super Mario 64''==
[[File:Elevatortour.png|thumb]]
*'''Total Number of [[Coin]]s''': 133 (107 outside, 26 inside)
To get this star, Mario must jump in the volcano at the center of the stage. He must then continue left from inside, and then jump onto the elevator. He will be sent up but will then have to jump on another elevator and ride on that one. The elevator will, at some point, fall down and Mario will have to jump on the platform to his left before falling. Rotating Firebars are found on the platforms and Mario must quickly climb up a pole onto another platform with rotating Firebars, followed by three very small platforms to jump across. After the three platforms are passed, Mario can grab the star on the last platform.
*'''[[Cap]]s Found''': [[Wing Cap]] (1)
*'''[[Spinning Heart]]''': Inside the volcano, past the hidden smasher, on the platform to the right.
*'''[[Cannon]]s''': (none)
*'''[[1-Up Mushroom|1UP Mushroom]]s''' (8):
**''Homing Mushroom'' : '''#1''' Inside the volcano, in the highest pole.
**''Static Mushrooms'' : '''#2''' Behind the platform the "Boil the Big Bully" Star appears on. '''#3 & #4''' Two mushrooms can be found on two high brown ramps. '''#5 & #6''' Two others can be found on small white ramps. '''#7''' The last static mushroom can be found on the top of the fire shooter behind the volcano.
**''Triggered Mushroom'' : '''#8''' Appears after the player [[dash|run]]s around the spinning platform with flames past the picture of Bowser.
*'''[[Warp]]s''':
**The area under the [[Mr. I|Mr. I.]] near the picture of Bowser can warp the player to the island with the Wing Cap.


In ''Super Mario 64 DS'', the mission is the same as in original version of the game, however it is renamed "Inside the Volcano".

==Media==
[[Image:Flaming_Silver_Stars.png|200px|thumb|left|]]
{{media table
''Super Mario 64 DS'' added a seventh mission to Lethal Lava land. In it, five [[Silver Star]]s are marked on the player's map and must be collected to produce a Power Star. Mario or one of his accomplices must run across the first platform and past the archway, where a yellow "!" block twill give them a green turtle shell to ride on. While riding on the shell, the character's impervious to the lava below them, giving them free-range over the level, and easy access to all five silver stars are within easy reach while riding the shell. Finally, the golden Power Star will appear on the rock formation behind the level's start.

==The Volcano==
==Names in other languages==
A '''Volcano''' is located in Lethal Lava Land in the game ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and its [[Super Mario 64 DS|remake]]. It appears to be the source of much of the lava in the course. It is possible to jump inside the top of the volcano to access a hidden area of the level. The volcano's interior houses the two final [[Power Star]]s needed to complete the level. It has [[Podoboo]]s, [[Bully|Bullies]], [[Firebar]]s and walls that shoot fire.
{{foreign names
 
|Jap=ファイアバブル ランド
===Outside===
[[Image:Sm64volcanoout.PNG|thumb|left|The outside of the volcano.]]
In the center of the Lethal Lava Land stage is an active volcano that sits right in the center of a ring-shaped platform that spins around it. The volcano erupts every few seconds, showering the rotating platform with fireballs. Whenever the volcano erupts, the spinning platform surrounding it will stop, and after the eruption it will continue to spin. This may make it hard to enter the volcano.
 
===Inside===
[[Image:sm64volcanoin.jpg|thumb|The inside of the volcano.]]
The volcano's diminutive outer appearance betrays its massive interior. The entire "floor" is a pool of lava, fed by an enormous "lavafall" at the back of the volcano, but there are several black stone islands that Mario can stand on. There is also a ledge that runs along the wall to the top of the volcano. [[Bully|Bullies]] patrol the ledge, and the walls shoot fire. There are also some [[Firebar]]s and [[Podoboo]]s. One section of the wall even falls open, crushing Mario beneath it. Suspended high in the air in the middle of the volcano is a floating platform that can only be reached by an elevator.
 
==Trivia==
*The Bowser picture on the matching puzzle in the ''Super Mario 64'' version of Lethal Lava Land is Bowser's artwork in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', and the picture in the ''Super Mario 64 DS'' version is Bowser's artwork in ''[[Mario Party 7]]''.

“Don't be a pushover! If anyone tries to shove you around, push back! It's a one-on-one, with a fiery finish for the loser!”
—Narration, Super Mario 64

Lethal Lava Land is the seventh course of Super Mario 64 and Super Mario 64 DS. The entrance to the course is the large painting with a menacing-looking fireball (implied by the course's Japanese name to be a Sparky) located in the Mushroom Castle's basement. The course has many platforms situated over a pool of lava with a volcano in the center of the course.

In the Nintendo DS version, this course is the only course where any player character can collect any Power Star. Additionally, Lethal Lava Land is the only course that allows Mario to obtain his Power Flower and flying abilities in the same area (this means not going into a separate part of a course—i.e., the pyramid or the igloo). Lethal Lava Land features Egyptian-styled music, as it shares its music with Shifting Sand Land.

Layout[edit]

Main course[edit]

Map of Lethal Lava Land, ripped from the game
Map of Lethal Lava Land in Super Mario 64 DS

The player starts off on a platform with a couple of signs, and the player has to long-jump in order to reach the next platform. This platform splits into either a small circular platform on the right that contains a yellow block with a Shiny Shell inside during the later missions or a platform to the left that has several Sparkies jumping across it. At the end of the left path is a large platform with a single Bully. Here, the platform splits and leads to either the left or the right side of the course.

To the right are a lava plume and a ramp and platform that lead to the spinning ring platform that circles the volcano and a flamethrower with a 1-UP Mushroom on top of it at the back of the platform. If the player stands on this platform, it will slow to a halt; the volcano will erupt, spewing out several fireballs; and then the platform will resume moving. To the right are platforms that lower into and rise out of the lava. Here, the platforms lead to either a circular platform with a duo of Bullies or an M-shaped platform. The platform with the Bullies has a steel-grated platform that brings the player to a rolling log. The M-shaped platform leads to four sinking and rising platforms with a large platform with a trio of Bullies, where a Big Bully will be fought if the player defeats the normal Bullies.

To the left of the large platform with the Bully is a drawbridge leading to a steel-grated platform with a Mr. I. and a warp underneath it. The warp leads to a small platform containing a red block with the Wing Cap. Past the Mr. I. is a platform tilting in and out of the lava with a group of sliding puzzle platforms with Bowser's image. Beyond the picture of Bowser is a platform with a couple of Bullies leading to a spinning platform with a fire bar, and a couple of platforms beyond that lead to a Big Bully. The spinning platform does not hold Bullies when they are pushed onto it, causing the Bullies to fall through it.

Inside the volcano[edit]

Map of the volcano in Lethal Lava Land
Map of the volcano in Super Mario 64 DS

Jumping into the volcano in the center of the course brings the player to the inside of the volcano. The volcano has several platforms that ring around the volcano's walls and lifts that spiral up to the top. There are several Bullies, Sparkies, fire bars, and flamethrowers along with a hidden smasher that will attempt to flatten the player if they get close. The platforms can get small near the top of the course, and there are several poles the player has to jump between as well.

If the player loses a life in the volcano and reenters the course, they will be brought back to the inside of the volcano without having to go though the main course again, provided the life lost does not result in a Game Over.
