Volcano Lotuses are enemies which first appear in Super Mario World.
Profile
Volcano Lotuses are plants that attack by shooting fireballs upward.
In Super Mario World
Volcano Lotuses appear in many levels. They spit small fireballs into the air, which proceed to fall slowly after reaching their highest point. A Volcano Lotus can be defeated either by having Cape Mario spinning his cape on them or from having Yoshi eat it. A Volcano Lotus is not affected by a Spin Jump, but it bounces off Mario/Luigi, which also occurs if a Volcano Lotus is stomped while riding Yoshi. Mario or Luigi take damage from a Volcano Lotus if they either touch it or its fireballs or jump on a Volcano Lotus without Yoshi.
Volcano Lotuses first appear in Donut Plains 1 and later again in Tubular and Groovy.
In Super Princess Peach
Volcano Plants first appear in Ladida Plains. They throw fireballs that Princess Peach must avoid. Peach can defeat a Volcano Lotus by whacking it with Perry. Volcano Plants received their own Calm variant, Calm Volcano Plant.
In other media
