A Volcano Lotus, also known as a Volcano Plant, is a terrestrial variant of Lava Lotus[1] that shoots out fireballs. Volcano Lotuses have seldomly appeared in the Super Mario franchise.

History

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

Volcano Lotuses first appear in Super Mario World and return in the Game Boy Advance remake. They appear in the levels Donut Plains 1, Tubular, and Groovy. Volcano Lotuses 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 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.
