'''Mt. Lavalava''' is a volcano on [[Lavalava Island]] in ''[[Paper Mario]]''. As the main part of the chapter, it is where [[Mario]] and his team find the fifth [[Star Spirit]], [[Misstar]]. It is also the home of the vile [[Lava Piranha]], whom Mario and his friends must defeat to free Misstar. The [[Ultra Hammer]] is found here. [[Kolorado]] accompanies Mario through most of the volcano, but he's not interested in searching for a Star Spirit; rather, he just wants to follow Mario to get the treasure hidden in the volcano containing a [[Volcano Vase]]. The music inside Mt. Lavalava is an arrangement of the underground theme from ''[[Super Mario World]]''.

==History==
According to the [[Yoshi (species)|Brown Yoshi]] in [[Yoshi's Village]], Mt. Lavalava once erupted when the [[Village Leader]] and he were kids.

Between Chapters 4 and 5 of ''[[Paper Mario]]'', Mario learns from [[Twink]] (who learns from [[Gourmet Guy]] when accompanying [[Princess Peach]]) that a [[Star Spirit]] is being held in Mt. Lavalava of Lavalava Island and seeks to go there. In the meanwhile, he finds Kolorado by the [[Toad Town]] port, who is also hoping to travel there in order to find a legendary treasure. The two eventually travel to Lavalava Island with the help of the [[Whale (character)|Whale]].

In Chapter 5, the two initially see the entrance of Mt. Lavalava, but are blocked by a lava pit. After a series of events, Mario and Kolorado make their way to Mt. Lavalava with some ropeways built by [[Raphael]]'s [[Raven]]s. Upon their entrance, Mario is identified by a [[Putrid Piranha]] who then shouts "ALERT" and "REPORT TO BOSS". As the two proceed, Mario does most of the exploration, clearing [[metal block]]s with the [[Ultra Hammer]] found inside the volcano, while Kolorado suffers various injuries while trying to be useful and even leads Mario to the wrong way at a spot. Deep in the volcano, Mario is identified by another Piranha Plant as searching for the Star Spirit, and encounters [[Lava Piranha]], the chapter boss. Mario defeats it, and saves [[Misstar]]. This marks the end of Chapter 5.

At the same time, however, the volcano begins to erupt and their way back to the entrance is blocked by a lava-filled gap. Near the caldera, Misstar finds a cracked wall and Mario blows it up with [[Bombette]]. At the moment of life and death, Kolorado is still reaching for a treasure, while Misstar quickly carries Mario, his partner, and Kolorado and flies upward through the caldera. Eventually the four escape the volcano narrowly, and the [[treasure chest]] containing the treasure is blown out of the mountain and falls in [[Jade Jungle]]. Kolorado, chastised by Misstar for not valuing his life, eventually gets the treasure from Mario and proclaims the adventure a "complete success", a "stupendous expedition" which will be "forever recorded in the history of archaeology".

The Village Leader of Yoshi's Village states that Mt. Lavalava erupted because of [[Bowser]]'s men at work.<ref name=reason/> Later in the game, there is a piece of [[List of Toad Town News in Paper Mario|news]] covering the eruption, which says the same thing but cites Kolorado. Mario also receives [[List of letters in Paper Mario#Yoshi Kids|a letter]] from the [[Fearsome 5|Yoshi kids]] in [[Yoshi's Village]], which says that Mt. Lavalava stopped erupting and invites Mario to the village.

==Area Tattles==
*''This is definitely the entrance to the volcano. What do you say we explore deeper inside? The scenery around here is unlike anything I've ever seen. I wish we had time to inspect it!
*''Now that...is a lot of lava. Did you know it'd be this hot? And we have to cross here, don't we? I knew it.
*''This is a big cavern. I've heard that some volcanoes have caverns that go down for miles and miles!
*''These Fire Bars are a huge pain, aren't they, Mario? We can get by 'em. Don't worry.
*''This is a steep slope. We have to press on, but I'm getting a little tired going over over{{sic}} such rough road.
*''You know, if it weren't for that lava, it'd be dark in here.
*''Boy, this lava is everywhere! How are we gonna cross it?
*''Boy, we're real spelunkers, aren't we? My Goompa told me that means cave-explorer. Kind of like Kolorado! I wonder how he manages, exploring all by himself? At least we have each other.
*''This is a pit if I ever saw one. It's a big one, too. If we're not careful, we could get lost.
*''This is a really steep slope. If we dropped something here, gravity would make it roll down.
*''It's like a sea filled with lava. Welcome to the Lava Sea! Wanna swim? I'm just joking, Mario.
*''We need to go east from here. It's a good thing that it's just light enough to see.
*''This cavern is lit by the lava below, so the upper level is slightly darker.
*''It's hot, hot, scorching hot! It's like being slowly cooked from the bottom up! In hot grease! On a hot day! I can't take it anymore!
*''This place is shaking itself to pieces! This is not good!
*''The lava's overflowing... We're never gonna make it! What are we gonna do?
*''Lava has filled in the floor down there, so we can't go back down. Too bad! Well, I guess we should be moving on--with any luck to someplace a lot cooler!

==In-game map description==
*''This huge volcano rises from Lavalava Island. Kolorado claims there's a  treasure somewhere inside.
*''This huge volcano rises from Lavalava Island. There was once a huge eruption, but it's calm now. A Star Spirit was held here by Lava Piranha.

<ref name=reason>The [[Village Leader]]'s dialogue, when Mario talks to him immediately after the eruption of Mt. Lavalava:
<i>Mt. Lavalava just started
erupting, Mario!

It's my belief that the volcano
got angry because Bowser's men
were fiddling about inside.

I'm glad you made it out!</i>
