A '''Lava Lotus''' is an artificial flower<ref>''"An artificial flower that grows and blooms deep in the sea. Look out for the lava balls that it will release."'' - ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' English instruction booklet, page 36.</ref> that lives underwater in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. They are capable of creating and storing lava balls under their transparent petals and attack by opening up to release them. The fireballs can go through platforms and make navigating underwater difficult. The number they shoot out is random and can be up to five at a time. The fireballs travel rather slowly and in a straight line from their point of release. They can only be defeated by [[Hammer Mario]], Hammer Luigi, or a [[Super Star|Starman]].

It resembles a large translucent version of [[Panser]] from ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', but according to ''[[Nintendo Power]]'', Lava Lotuses have a relation to [[Piranha Plant]]s,<ref>"''An aquatic relative of the Piranha Plants, the Lotus spits fiery lava bits.''" – ''Nintendo Power'' Volume 13, page 9.</ref> despite there being no such indication in the original instruction booklet. Lava Lotuses are capable of creating and storing [[lava]] balls under their transparent petals and attack by opening up to release them. The lava balls can go through [[platform]]s and make navigating underwater difficult. The number they shoot out is random and can be up to five at a time. The lava balls travel rather slowly and in a straight line from their point of release. They can be defeated only by [[Hammer Mario]] or [[Invincible Mario]].
