Volcano Lotuses, also known as Volcano Plants, are enemies introduced in Super Mario World. They are a terrestrial variant of Lava Lotus[1] that shoots out fireballs.

History

Super Mario World / Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2

Volcano Lotuses are enemies in Super Mario World and its reissue. 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 (or Luigi's) Cape next to them, crushing them with a Body Press as Caped Mario, 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.

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 are enemies in Super Princess Peach. They also received a Calm counterpart, the C. V. Plant.

Minecraft

In the Super Mario Mash-up in Minecraft, Spore Blossoms are replaced by Volcano Lotuses.
