Lava Geyser: Difference between revisions

'''Lava Geysers'''<ref name="Prima">Epstein, Joe, Garitt Rocha, and Alexander Musa. (2017) ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'' Official Guide (from [[Prima Games]]). Page 162.</ref> are obstacles that rise up from pits of [[lava]]. They act similarly to [[Water Geyser]]s and [[Sand Geyser]]s, with the biggest difference being that the player cannot walk on top of them and will take damage if they attempt to do so.

===''Mario vs. Donkey Kong''===

Lava Geysers are first seen in ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong]]''. They can lift moving platforms up into the air, allowing Mario to reach higher ground and they make a splashing sound before they rise. They only appear in a few levels of the third world, [[Fire Mountain (world)|Fire Mountain]].  

Lava Geysers appear in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', where they are seen in areas such as [[Melty Molten Galaxy]] and the lava-based portion of [[Bowser's Galaxy Reactor]].

Lava Geysers later appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. They first appear in [[World 8-1 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 8-1]], where they are extremely common. Some of them rise and fall at a slower pace than others. Unlike lava, they do not make the player lose a life in one hit. They also appear in [[World 8-7 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 8-7]] where the player must jump over them while riding the [[Spine Coaster]]. Finally they appear in [[World 9-6 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 9-6]], where the player must avoid them while riding moving platforms over pits of lava. They also appear aesthetically on the [[World 8 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|world map]].

Lava Geysers make their first appearance in the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' series]] in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', where they first appear in the game's new [[Bowser's Castle (Wii)|Bowser's Castle]]. They appear towards the end of the track, rising up from a grated portion of the track. If the player touches them, he or she will spin out. They also appear in the background as well as on a jump towards the end of the retro [[Bowser's Castle (N64)|<small>N64</small> Bowser's Castle]]. Lastly, they appear in the background of [[Grumble Volcano]], where they rise up after certain portions of the track sink into the lava.

Lava Geysers make another appearance in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'' in the game's [[Bowser's Castle (3DS)|Bowser's Castle]] and the retro battle course [[Big Donut|<small>N64</small> Big Donut]]. In the former, they appear both on land and in the underwater segment, while in the latter, they erupt from the lava pit in the center between the ramps and the [[Koopa Clown Car]].

Lava Geysers reappear again in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''. They once again appear in the game's [[Bowser's Castle (Wii U)|Bowser's Castle]]. They are in the background of this course and also appear in the path of a glider section. If players touch them, they will spin out and be pulled to safety by Lakitu. They once again appear in the remade [[Grumble Volcano]] and again will rise up after certain sections of the ground sink into the lava. Unlike the ''Mario Kart Wii'' version of the track, however, they seem to be absent in the multiplayer and online modes.
