A Volcano Lotus, also known as a Volcano Plant, is a terrestrial variant of Lava Lotus[1] that shoots out fireballs, appearing in Super Mario World (and its reissue) and Super Princess Peach.
History
Super Mario World / Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2
Volcano Lotuses first appear in Super Mario World and later in Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2. They are stationary obstacles that spew small fireballs into the air at a diagonal angle, which proceed to slowly rain down on the surrounding area after reaching their highest point. While invulnerable to Fire Mario's fireballs, Volcano Lotuses can be defeated by whirling Mario's Cape next to them or eating them with a Yoshi. Spin-jumping on them or stepping on them while riding a Yoshi does not harm them, but it makes the player bounce off without taking damage. They appear in Donut Plains 1, Tubular, and Groovy.
Super Mario World (television series)
A Volcano Lotus, referred to as a Fire Plant, appears in the episode "Send in the Clown" of the Super Mario World television series. It produces the fireballs that Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, and Princess Toadstool use in a tennis game (in lieu of actual tennis balls).
Super Princess Peach
Volcano Plants appear in Super Princess Peach. The game also introduces a "Calm" version, the C. V. Plant.
Minecraft
In the Super Mario Mash-up in Minecraft, Spore Blossoms are replaced by Volcano Lotuses.
