[[File:Lava.PNG|thumb|right|Lava in Bowser's Castle.]]
'''Lava''' is a hazard in many parts of [[Mushroom World]], especially inside castles. When [[Mario]] touches lava, it can scorch him terribly, causing him to run around, almost uncontrollably, in pain. In some instances, it may result in him losing some health (as seen in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and its [[Super Mario Galaxy 2|sequel]], and ''[[Paper Mario]]''), or instant [[Game Over|death]] (as seen from ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' in Bowser's intermission after getting the [[Garnet Star]], ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'' in [[Corona Mountain]] and most 2D platformer Mario games, such as ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' and ''[[Super Mario World]]''). Even a [[Star]] cannot protect Mario from this deadly obstacle. The effect lava has on [[Bowser]] varies as well, ranging from not affecting him at all to actually killing him at least once. This could mean that there are different temperatures (or even separate types) of lava that differ from game to game.
In the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series, lava appears in many race courses. Falling into lava delays the racer, as they must wait for a [[Lakitu]] to pull them out.
==History==
Line 9 ⟶ 13:
Due to the graphical limitations of the NES at the time, the "lava" is really red-colored water, and is only a background object (proven by characters falling through the lava and not dying the moment they touch it).
{{br}}
====''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels''====
Lava reappeared in ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]'' and had the same appearance and purpose as in ''Super Mario Bros.''
{{br}}
====''Super Mario Bros. 3''====
In ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', lava occasionally appears in the Fortress levels in some worlds. Falling into the lava will cause Mario or Luigi to instantly lose a life. In some levels, lava pools can also be placed upside down, on ceilings.
{{br}}
====''Super Mario World''====
[[File:Lava Monster.gif|thumb|left|Lava as seen in Super Mario World.]]
[[File:Iggy's_Castle_Gate.PNG|thumb|200px|Lava as seen in Super Mario World.]]
In ''[[Super Mario World]]'', lava appears in the fortresses and castles level. Once again, Mario or Luigi will instantly lose a life should they fall into the lava. In certain caves, there is a brighter color of lava which can have skull rafts on them. If Yoshi falls into the lava, he will slowly sink and the same goes for item that floats in water when pick it up. There is also grey lava found which acts exactly the same as regular lava but is colored different and is found in [[Chocolate Fortress]] and [[Chocolate Island 4]].

====''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars''====
In ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'', lava appears in [[Pipe Vault]], [[Barrel Volcano]], and [[Bowser's Castle|Bowser's Keep]]. It causes Mario to jump in the air with smoke coming out of him (predating similar reactions in ''Super Mario 64'' and other 3D games), and typically warps him back to the entrance of a room. In the two platforming challenges in Bowser's Keep, which Mario gets ten chances to complete, falling into lava will take away one of his chances along with several coins, and warp him back to where he left off.
{{br}}
====''Super Mario 64'' / ''Super Mario 64 DS''====
[[File:SM64_LLL_Entrance.jpg|thumb|right|Lethal Lava Land.]]
In ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', lava appeared in [[Lethal Lava Land]] and [[Bowser in the Fire Sea]], and covered much of the stage. This lava would bubble and release [[Podoboo]]s and [[Fire Snake]]-like clumps of fire. When Mario touches a lava, he would jump into the air with smoke coming out of him, and he would quickly lose three wedges of health. In his Capless Form, Mario would lose four wedges instead, meaning that in his capless form, Mario will lose a life in just two hits from the lava. Both lava stages featured enemies called [[
{{br}}
====''Super Mario Sunshine''====
[[File:SMSLava.jpg|thumb|left|Lava at Corona Mountain in ''Super Mario Sunshine''.]]
In ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', there are two different kinds of lava. It is found only in [[Corona Mountain]]. It covers the entire bottom of the stage, and serves as a major stage hazard in that level. If Mario touches the lava in Corona Mountain, he instantly loses a life. There is something that looks similar to lava, which is the [[Graffiti#Fire Graffiti|Fire Goop]] painted by [[Bowser Jr.]] (a.k.a. [[Shadow Mario]]) with his [[Magic Paintbrush]]. This lava-like Goop doesn't result in immediate death, but it does cause Mario to leap into the air uncontrollably, covering little horizontal distance. Therefore, if there is a lot of the Fire Goop when Mario touches it, death may still be inevitable.
{{br}}
====''New Super Mario Bros.''====
In ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', lava appears in the most Castle levels and few levels in [[World 8 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 8]]. The lava also rises on some levels. As like with the other 2D platformer Mario games, when Mario or Luigi falls on the lava, he would instantly die. [[Mega Mario]] would also instantly die.
{{br}}
====''Super Mario Galaxy''====
In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', lava is found mainly in each [[Bowser]] and [[Bowser Jr.]] level, where it comprises most of the landscape (with a few exceptions of course). In fact, Bowser Jr.'s third level in ''Super Mario Galaxy'' is actually called [[Bowser Jr.'s Lava Reactor]], and features considerably more lava than the other Bowser or Bowser Jr. levels. Other galaxies, while not entirely comprised of only lava, do rely heavily on the presence of lava as a major obstacle in some areas. Like ''Super Mario 64'', when Mario touches the lava, he would catch fire and jump into the air uncontrollably, losing 1 wedge of health. However, [[Ice Flower]] allows [[Ice Mario]] to skate across lava without taking any damage.
{{br}}
====''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''====
In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'' lava does return in most castle levels, in most [[World 8 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 8]] levels and in [[Bowser's Castle]]. Mario, [[Luigi]], [[Yellow Toad (character)|Yellow Toad]] and [[Blue Toad (character)|Blue Toad]] will instantly lose a life if they touch the lava.
{{br}}
====''Super Mario Galaxy 2''====
[[File:Mg2.jpg|thumb|right|A [[Magmaargh]] from ''Super Mario Galaxy 2''.]]
In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', the same applies for Bowser's first fortress in the game, [[Bowser's Lava Lair]]. Some galaxies between the two games consist entirely of lava-based obstacles, including the [[Melty Molten Galaxy]] and the [[Melty Monster Galaxy]]. [[Lava Plume]]s can also spew from the lava in these games.
{{br}}
====''Super Mario 3D Land''====
[[File:World 1 5 SM3DL.png|thumb|left|Lava at Bowser's Castle in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]''.]]
In ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', lava appears in Castle levels, some levels of [[World 8 (Super Mario 3D Land)|World 8]] and few levels in Special Worlds. Like ''Super Mario Sunshine'', if the player touches lava in this game, Mario or Luigi will instantly lose a life.
{{br}}
====''New Super Mario Bros. 2''====
Lava appears once again in castle levels, especially in [[Bowser's Castle]]. In the final battle when [[Bowser]] grows giant he summons rising lava. Once again [[Mario]] (or [[Luigi]]) will instantly lose a life if he touches lava.
Line 59 ⟶ 60:
====''New Super Mario Bros. U''====
Lava also appears in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', especially in castles like [[Iggy's Volcanic Castle]]. Although Peach's Castle, thanks to several renovations via Bowser, does include lava, lava is not involved at all in the final battle with Bowser.
====''Super Mario 3D World''====
Lava reappears in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'', having the same function as in ''Super Mario 3D Land''. It appears in various different castle levels, and numerous other levels. There is also a variation of lava called [[Blue Lava]] which works in the same way as Red Lava. Once again, touching lava is an instant-death in this game.
===''Mario Kart'' series===
[[File:Castillo Bowser.PNG|thumb|Lava at Bowser's Castle in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]''.]]
In the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series, lava appears in many race courses, most frequently [[Bowser's Castle (course)|Bowser's Castle]]. Falling into lava delays the racers, as they must wait for a [[Lakitu]] to pull them out to continue the race.
{{br}}
===''Mario Party'' series===
In the [[Mario Party (series)|''Mario Party'' series]], lava also appears, acting as a hazard to be avoided primarily in [[mini-game]]s.
Most Bowser-related game boards in the series involve lava in some way.
{{br}}
====''Mario Party 2''====
[[File:MP1 HandcarHavoc.JPG|thumb|180px|left|The lava pool in [[Handcar Havoc]].]]
The minigame [[Hexagon Heat]] from ''[[Mario Party 2]]'' involves moving over to the colored spot Toad indicates using the flags he holds. The platforms will slowly fall into lava as a different one is called. Another minigame in both the original and the sequel, [[Handcar Havoc]], involves steering a handcar, and leaning so it does not tip over the edge of the tracks and into lava, however it's impossible to fall off the edge in the ''[[Mario Party 2]]'' version, which is in the sky and doesn't have any lava. [[Lava Tile Isle]] involves pushing players off the sinking tiles and into lava.
{{br}}
====''Mario Party 4''====
The minigame [[Chain Chomp Fever]] in ''[[Mario Party 4]]'' involves staying out of the way of the [[Chain Chomp]], while also avoiding falling into the lava. The mini-game [[The Final Battle!]] involved getting to and fighting Bowser by solving puzzles and, once again, avoiding falling into lava.
{{br}}
====''Mario Party 6''====
[[File:Burnstile.png|thumb|right|200px|Lava in [[Burnstile]].]]
The ''[[Mario Party 6]]'' minigame [[Burnstile]] involves leaping over a turnstile to avoid it, while also trying to stay on their team's area, which is surrounded by lava.
{{br}}
====''Mario Party Advance''====
In ''[[Mario Party Advance]]'', the mini-game [[Stompbot XL]] involves trying to avoid the lava heading towards the player, while avoiding obstacles like walls, rocks, and small patches of lava. Also, the mini-game [[Go-go Pogo]] has the player using a pogo to get to the end while avoiding the lava below and other obstacles.
====''Mario Party 7''====
Despite not having lava as a hazard, the minigames [[Treasure Dome]] and [[Tunnel of Lava!]] from ''[[Mario Party 7]]'' is filled with it. The minigame [[Magmagical Journey!]] contains much lava that acts as an obstacle.
{{br}}
====''Mario Party 8''====
The minigame [[Lava or Leave 'Em]] from ''[[Mario Party 8]]'' once again involves dodging [[Podoboo]]s while staying away from lava. Lava also appears in the mini-game [[Lava Lobbers]].
{{br}}
====''Mario Party 9''====
[[File:Bowser Pop.png|thumb|left|200px|Lava in the background of [[Bowser Pop]].]]
In ''[[Mario Party 9]]'', lava appears in [[Magma Mine]], as one of the most dangerous obstacles in the board, taking half of the captain's [[Mini Star]]s when he or she touches it. In [[Magma Mayhem]], the players must knock their adversaries out of a tilting platform, making them sink into the magma. It also appears in the minigames [[Tumble Temple]], [[Bowser Pop]] and [[Double Pounder]], as an aesthetic element. In the Boss Battle [[Spike Strike]], the players and [[Spike]] are inside a volcano, on a rock surrounded by lava. In the second half, the lava rises, giving less time to the players think. In [[Chain Chomp Romp]], the volcanoes in the background are in eruption,
and lava is seen running down them.
[[Image:Mt._Lavalava.png|left|thumb|'''Lava''' in Mt. Lavalava in ''Paper Mario''.]]
Despite lava appearing in almost every ''Mario'' game (or almost every video game for that matter), Lava is rarely seen in the [[Paper Mario (series)|''Paper Mario'' series]]. In ''[[Paper Mario]]'' there are only two areas to feature lava; the first is inside the volcano [[Mt. Lavalava]], and the second is inside [[Bowser's Castle]]. In this game, if Mario falls into the lava, he loses five hit points, and on most occasions, he needs to have [[Parakarry]] carry him over it or have [[Lakilester]] float over it. Lava appears again in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. In this game, it is only found during the two Bowser events; the first around Bowser's Castle, and the second in a stage reminiscent of ''Super Mario Bros.''. Mario himself never encounters any lava at all in this game. In ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', there is no lava at all, save the lava around Bowser's Castle in the introduction screen. The tattle for the [[Lava Bubble]], however, says that the player must avoid them while the player is jumping over lava.
{{br}}
====''Paper Mario: Sticker Star''====
In ''[[Paper Mario Sticker Star]]'', lava appears in W5-5, [[Rugged Road]], and in W5-6, [[Rumble Volcano]]. In the first area of W5-5, Mario can't go over the lava rising, so the player must use a freezing type [[Sticker (Paper Mario: Sticker Star)|Sticker]] to cross the frozen lava. In the other areas, Mario uses rock pieces floating on the lava to cross. In W5-6,lava can also be seen, but Mario just has to avoid it, not cross it. If Mario falls in the lava in ''Paper Mario Sticker Star'', he loses 3 [[Heart Point]]s.
[[File:CrocodileCauldron.png|left|thumb|[[Crocodile Cauldron]].]]
Lava is, like on [[Earth]], a naturally occurring and dangerous substance in the Donkey Kong universe.
Lava's first appearance in a Donkey Kong game was in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'', where it was an obstacle found primarily in the area [[Crocodile Cauldron]], a large volcanically active area. In the game's follow-up, ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'', lava is slightly less common due to Crocodile Cauldron being fused together with the large and swampy [[Krem Quay]] to create [[Krem Cauldron]].
In ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' lava makes a small appearance in the hidden world, [[Krematoa]]. Here, a small pond of lava can be seen and oddly enough, swam through after Krematoa's ancient volcano is re-activated.
Line 114 ⟶ 116:
Lava also appears in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'', once again as an uncommon, yet dangerous obstacle.

==Trivia==
*On the other hand, collecting an [[Ice Flower]] will allow [[Ice Mario]] to skate across the surface of lava filled areas unscathed (only in ''Super Mario Galaxy'', though).
*Even though lava doesn't appear in ''Super Paper Mario'', the tattle for the [[Lava Bubble]] says that the player must avoid them while jumping over lava.
