Lava Blubbles (originally named Fireballs) are blue Lava Bubbles found in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars and its remake. They are found in Booster Tower, where they hide in the floor of the mine room, ambushing Mario when walked over. These enemies have low HP and defense, but high attack, magic attack, and evade, making them strong and hard to attack, but not durable. They can deal damage with moves like Hot Shot and Fire Saber.

    ブルーのボディーをブルブルふるわせ、ライトサーベルで相手あいての心こころをブルーにし、ブルブルとふるえあがらせる。
    (Translation: They shake their blue bodies and use Fire Saber to turn their opponents' hearts blue, making them shake and tremble.)

Trivia

• Enemies that resemble Lava Blubbles appear in the Paper Mario series, specifically in Paper Mario and Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (as well as its remake on the Nintendo Switch). These are cyan-colored Lava Bubbles called Embers. It's possible that Embers were inspired by the Lava Blubble's design, given that both enemies are essentially Lava Bubbles that have been given a blue hue and differing stats from their parent species.
  • Blue-colored Lava Bubbles also appear in Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario 3D World. These enemies could arguably be classified as either Lava Blubbles or Embers, or simply as ordinary Lava Bubbles that have just been recolored blue.
