Line 374:
* In [[Lufia|Lufia: Curse of the Sinistrals]], there's Soma Temple, a temple way out in the ocean filled with lava. Actually jumping down into it sends you back to the platform you jumped off, and leaves you with minor damage. Unless you have the appropriate skill, which negates damage from falling from high places. Even into lava.
* In ''[[Clonk]]'', lava is only dangerous when you swim in it. You can ''stand'' in it, as long as it doesn't go higher than your clonk's knee, there'll be no harm done.
* ''[[BioshockBioShock (series)]]'' contains a short puzzle where you have to redirect lava flow to boil away a few feet of water. The lava is flowing through ''glass pipes'', and when released just disappears along with the water... conveniently.
* In ''[[Will Rock]]'', many levels (like the Hepheasteum and the Underworld of Tartarus) will bring you close to the fiery, orange magma. However, as long as you don't step in it, you're sound and safe. There's, however, a red haze on the screen if you're really close to magma, suggestic heat. [[Fridge Brilliance|Then again, seen that Will is possessed by the Titan Prometheus, this may protect him from fire.]]
* In ''[[Jet Force Gemini]]'', molten steel or lava deal no damage as long as you're not explicitly standing on them, and if you're playing as Juno even that won't injure you.
Line 467:
* In ''[[Brother Bear]]'', Koda and Kenai traverse a field of heat (supposed to be lava...) This is impressive for two reasons: Kenai gets continuously hit by jets of steam (a la Princess Bride and the Swamp) and the nearby areas are covered in SNOW!
* [[Justified]] by [[Captain Planet and the Planeteers|Captain Planet]], who can not only swim through molten lava and be completely unharmed, but can also ''use it to heal himself''. As dangerous as they are to humans, lava flows and volcanoes are still part of the Earth's natural ecosystem, which Captain Planet is a Physical Avatar of.
* In an episode of ''[[American Dragon: Jake Long]]'', Jake, in order to get ahead in a race against other dragons, utilized his experiences as a boarder and used a piece of rock to ride a lava flow, and he wasn't hurt a bit--as long as he didn't touch the lava. (Perhaps justified or handwaved due to him being a dragon (and in dragon form at the time), particularly one whose inherent element was fire, but still.
* Notably averted in an episode of ''[[The Powerpuff Girls]]''. A giant fire meteor threatens to strike Townsville. Even for most of the episode, the citizens suffer from a severe heat wave. Bubbles and Buttercup fly towards the incoming meteor to destroy it, but the intense heat simply forces them to flee (yes, not even ''[[Flying Brick|they]]'' can stand the heat) and to search for Blossom, whose current [[Heroic BSOD]] forbids her from using her [[New Powers as the Plot Demands|newly-gained]] [[An Ice Person|ice breath]].
* In ''[[Cow and Chicken]]'' Red accidentally falls into a river of lava. Then notices it's not as hot as he had thought (he's the Devil, though).
