Compare [[Sand Is Water]]. Sometimes a subtrope of [[Palette Swap]].

Line 112:
* In the latter ''[[Marathon (Video Game)|Marathon]]'' games there are levels flooded with lava, and occasionally you are forced to swim through it (carrying your [[Hyperspace Arsenal|guns and ammo]], of course). It hurts quite a bit, but it's survivable, and under the surface it looks and sounds just like red-tinted water (as the engine used the same behavior for being under all types of media).
* In the ''[[Monster Hunter (Video Game)|Monster Hunter]]'' series, the Volganos/Lavasioth can swim through lava, while everything else (except you) can literally walk, run, and even ''sleep'' in it.
* ''[[Quake]]'' treated both slime and lava exactly like water, except that slime caused slow health loss, and lava caused rapid health loss. At least one secret item required you to swim through lava using the [[Invincibility Power
** Oddly, due to the limitations of the graphics engine, ''[[Doom]]'' averted this as you could only stand directly atop the lava until it burned you to death.
* ''[[War Craft]] 3'''s dungeon maps have red-tinted water that serves as lava.
Line 131:
** [[Justified Trope]] because it actually ''is'' boiling hot water which you have to cool down in order to be able to swim through it and only years of [[Genre Savvy|Genre Savvyness]] would make you think otherwise. However, this doesn't explain [[Artistic License Physics|why the water isn't just vaporizing]] - and why it's [[Color Coded for Your Convenience|turning red]]...
*** The reason in this case is because the level in the screenshot is a [[Palette Swap]] of the Sunken Ship level type, with the "lava" being a unique twist to it for the [[Lethal Lava Land]] world.
*** Or how jumping on a seal's back allows him to cool it down. (Though at least that remains [[Magic
* In ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'' there is an area filled with lava that is really only water with a lava-like pattern on the surface. You can swim in it, and it's completely transparent once you dive. The only difference is that you take damage while swimming.
* Taken to extremes in ''[[Roller Coaster Tycoon]]''; lava really ''is'' just water that happens to be red and behaves exactly the same way as regular water. In the second game, when you get to design custom scenarios, you literally get to choose whether your scenario's water is blue, red, or greenish.
Line 178:
'''Host:''' Don't worry. That "lava" is just Orange Ade, made by our sponsor Osaka Orange Ade Concern.<br />
'''Homer:''' IT BURNS! IT BURNS!!! }}
* Played with in ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic]]'' during the episode "[[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E21 Dragon Quest|Dragon Quest]]". While diving into a [[Lava Pit]], several dragons play it straight, but Spike's bellyflop [[Subverted Trope|has a solid impact before he sinks down]].
