Their name directly references ''cinders'', which are small parts of any highly combustible material that, while not on fire, are still hot and capable of bursting into flames. To defeat one, Mario must use a [[Spin]] attack to put out the flame surrounding it, making it fall to the ground. Mario can then kick it to finish it off. If the player is not quick to hit the Li'l Cinder while it is vulnerable, it will start to hop around, attempting to jump in the lava and regenerate its flame. Shooting [[Star Bit]]s at it has the same effect as spinning it.

Li'l Cinders,[1] originally known as Lava Bubbles,[2] are enemies in Super Mario Galaxy. Their name directly references "cinder", which is a small part of any highly combustible material. They have an ice counterpart called Li'l Brrs. Li'l Cinders spawn from lava pools, though sometimes they are encountered above land. They slowly chase Mario (or Luigi) upon spotting him and attempt to ram into him to inflict damage. If Mario touches a Li'l Cinder, he catches fire and starts running around uncontrollably while losing a wedge of his life meter. Mario can use a spin attack nearby or shoot a Star Bit to put out the flame surrounding a Li'l Cinder, making it fall on the ground vulnerable. In this state, the enemy attempts to escape Mario by hopping away and seeks a pool of lava to regenerate its flame. However, in its cold state, the Li'l Cinder can be kicked or jumped on to defeat it, producing a coin. In the first game, Lava Bubbles are found in the Freezeflame Galaxy and Melty Molten Galaxy.

Li'l Cinders return in Super Mario Galaxy 2, where they behave the same as in the previous game. They can also be spawned by Magikoopas. If Mario rolls a snowball into a Li'l Cinder, he instantly defeats it. Li'l Cinders appear in the Freezy Flake Galaxy, Battle Belt Galaxy, and Mario Squared Galaxy.

Although the Li'l Brrs have a boss variant, the Li'l Cinders do not.
