They are commonly depicted as a large fireball with two black eyes or also as only a large fireball. Lava Bubbles mainly appear in the [[Super Mario (series)|''Super Mario'' series]] platformers, but occasionally appear in several other series of the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]], such as the [[Mario Party (series)|''Mario Party'' series]], the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' series]], and the [[Paper Mario (series)|''Paper Mario'' series]]. In the main series, Lava Bubbles can be destroyed by using a [[Super Star]], a [[Gold Flower]], a [[Hammer Suit]], a [[Penguin Suit]], or an [[Ice Flower]].

====''New Super Mario Bros. U''====

Lava Bubbles reappear in the [[Wii U]] title ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', where they act just as they have in previous ''Super Mario'' games.

 

====''New Super Luigi U''====

Lava Bubbles make a return in ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'', where they have the same abilities as in the original game, ''New Super Mario Bros. U.'' However, a sideways flying variation appears, which leap from one lava pool to another. Additionally, Takemoto, the director of this game, officially confirms that this enemy is called a Lava Bubble in a [[Miiverse]] post.

Lava Bubbles reappear in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and its [[Nintendo Switch]] port ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]'' where they act just like they did in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]''. Blue variants also appear in levels with blue lava.

In most ''[[Mario Party (series)|Mario Party]]'' games prior to ''Mario Party 8'', Lava Bubbles are referred to as Podoboos and appear as flames, making them resemble [[Fire Snake]]s.

 

In the ''[[Mario Party]]'' [[minigame]] [[Hot Rope Jump]], players are required to [[jump]] over a rope made up of many Sparkies. Contestants must jump over the flaming rope twenty times. If one fails to do so, they will lose fifteen [[coin]]s&mdash;five of those coins will be given to each opposing player. If all players complete the minigame successfully, everyone will receive ten coins.

The [[Podoboo Orb|Bubble Capsule]] is introduced, which advances the player forward 10 spaces, at the cost of removing all of their capsules in their inventory.

 

====''Mario Party 6''====

In the minigame, [[Daft Rafts]], Podoboos act as obstacles on some of the rafts. They appear only during the nighttime, in groups. The item from the previous game also returns, known as the [[Podoboo Orb]].

 

In ''[[Mario Party Advance]]'', Podoboos appear as obstacles in the minigame, [[Go-go Pogo]]. They attack in the same way as in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', causing the player to lose the minigame if it touches them.

In ''[[Mario Party 8]]'', the minigame [[Lava or Leave 'Em]] requires contestants to dodge a Lava Bubble that splits into many other Lava Bubbles. Also, when the player lands on a [[Bowser Space]] in [[Goomba's Booty Boardwalk]], [[Bowser]] appears and surrounds the player with three Lava Bubbles. The player will have to jump in order to avoid them as they move towards the center (in an attempt to burn the player); the player must continue to do this for ten seconds. The Lava Bubbles only try to hurt the player three times. If the player gets hit by one, they will lose ten [[Coin]]s (therefore, the maximum number of coins that can be lost is thirty).

 

====''Mario Party 9''====

Some Lava Bubbles jump off the magma in [[Magma Mine]]. A [[Mini Star]] constellation based on them can be found at the Museum, this time called simply '''Fireballs'''.

 

====''Mario Party: Island Tour''====

Lava Bubbles appear in ''[[Mario Party: Island Tour]]'' in a few minigames. They also appear jumping from the lava on the [[Bowser's Peculiar Peak]] board.

 

Lava Bubbles reappear in ''[[Mario Party 10]]'' in [[Chaos Castle]] as an obstacle. If the player gets hit by one they will lose [[Mini Star]]s only in Mario Party, while the number of spaces will be reduced to 0.

 

 

 

Lava Bubbles reappear in ''[[Mario Party Superstars]]'', reprising their roles in the ''Mario Party 2'' version of Hot Rope Jump.

{{stub|section=yes}}

Lava Bubbles reappear in ''[[Mario Golf: Super Rush]]'', appearing in the [[Bowser Highlands]]. When it gets hit by the ball, it attracts a one-stroke penalty.

Throughout various [[Bowser's Castle]] courses in the series, Lava Bubbles appear as obstacles. They also appear as obstacles in ''[[Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit]]'', appearing on [[Ember Island]] stunning drivers that make contact with them.

Lava Bubbles also make an appearance in the [[Wii]] game ''[[Mario Sports Mix]]'', where teams must avoid losing possession in the Bowser's Castle court. If one team member touches it, they will get burned.

 

Lava Bubbles appear in the [[Bowser's Castle]] segment of [[Mario's Figure Skating Spectacular]] in ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games]]'', where the skaters jump over and past them during parts of the routine.

''The fireball ghosts that appear almost inevitably in the flame pool. If you carelessly try to jump over the flame pool in an attempt to rush ahead, they will suddenly leap out of the lava and scorch you to a crisp.''
