A '''Volcano Plant''' (also known as a '''Volcano Lotus''') is a plant that shoots out [[fireballs]] in ''[[Super Mario World]]'' and ''[[Super Princess Peach]]''. They appear in many levels, spewing small fireballs into the air at a diagonal angle, which proceed to slowly rain down on the surrounding area after reaching their highest point. To defeat them, they must be hit by whirling Mario's [[Cape Mario|cape]] next to them or eaten by a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]. [[Spin Jump|Spin jumping]] on them or stepping on them while riding a Yoshi will not harm them, but will make the player bounce off without taking damage. The Volcano Lotus might be related to a similar enemy found in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', the [[Lava Lotus]], although the latter is only found underwater.

Volcano Plants first appear in Super Mario World and later in Super Mario Advance 2: Super Mario World. They 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 or Luigi's fireballs, Volcano Plants can be defeated by whirling Mario's or Luigi's cape next to them or eating them with Yoshi. Spin jumping on them or stepping on them while riding a Yoshi will not harm them, but will make the player bounce off without taking damage.
