A '''Volcano Lotus''', also known as a '''Volcano Plant''', is a terrestrial variant of [[Lava Lotus]]<ref name=Book1>「任天堂公式ガイドブック スーパーマリオワールド」 (''Nintendo Kōshiki Guidebook – Super Mario World''), page 27 (PONKEY <small>ポンキー</small> description). 「マリオ3に出てきた水中花の地上バージョン。火の玉を4つ吐き出して一休み。このくり返し。マントではじき飛ばすのが一番楽だ。」 (''An aboveground version of Mario 3's Suichūka.

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.


They also appear in ''[[Super Princess Peach]]''. The game also introduces a "[[Calm]]" version, the [[Calm Volcano Plant|C. V. Plant]].

A Volcano Lotus, also known as a Volcano Plant, is a terrestrial variant of Lava Lotus[1] that shoots out fireballs, appearing in Super Mario World (and its reissue) and Super Princess Peach.

History[edit]

Super Mario World / Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2[edit]

Volcano Lotus

Volcano Lotuses first appear in Super Mario World and later in Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2. 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's fireballs, Volcano Lotuses can be defeated by whirling Mario's (or Luigi's) Cape next to them, crushing them with a Body Press as Caped Mario, or eating them with a Yoshi. Spin-jumping on them or stepping on them while riding a Yoshi does not harm them, but it makes the player bounce off without taking damage. They appear in Donut Plains 1, Tubular, and Groovy.

Super Mario World (television series)[edit]

A Volcano Lotus, referred to as a Fire Plant, appears in the episode "Send in the Clown" of the Super Mario World television series. It produces the fireballs that Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, and Princess Toadstool use in a tennis game (in lieu of actual tennis balls).

Super Princess Peach[edit]

Volcano Plants appear in Super Princess Peach. The game also introduces a "Calm" version, the C. V. Plant.

Minecraft[edit]

In the Super Mario Mash-up in Minecraft, Spore Blossoms are replaced by Volcano Lotuses.
