Line 19:
== [[Tabletop Games]] ==
* An official expansion pack for the miniature war game ''[[Heroscape]]'' gives you everything you need to design your very own Lethal Lava Land!
* Some of the planes in ''[[Dungeons and& Dragons]]'' fit this trope, particularly Gehenna, the Elemental Plane of Magma, and some layers of the Nine Hells. As usual, alternate-realities have their own laws of lava-physics to excuse [[Convection, Schmonvection]].
 
== [[Video Games]] ==
Line 65:
** Red Mountain from ''[[Sonic Adventure]]'', which is also part [[Death Mountain]] and looks like it could be [[Fire and Brimstone Hell]].
** Lava Shelter from ''[[Shadow the Hedgehog]]'' (with [[Eternal Engine]] overtones).
** Flame Core and Crisis City from ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog (2006 (video game)||Sonic the Hedgehog 2006]]''. Crisis City combines this with [[After the End]].
** Hot Crater from ''[[Sonic Advance 2]]'' with [[Eternal Engine]] elements (noticing a pattern here?).
** Evil Foundry (especially the Ifrit boss fight) from ''[[Sonic and The Secret Rings]]'' [[Hailfire Peaks|combines this with]]—you guessed it--[[Eternal Engine]].
Line 84:
*** Also, Rawk Hawk's training area (i.e., the send up of Bowser's castle from SMB) has its lava pits.
** The 4th stage of every world in the original ''Super Mario Brothers'' certainly are worth mentioning as being some of the earliest examples.
** World 8 in ''[[Super Mario Bros 3]]'', ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', and ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''.
** Melty Molten/Hell Prominence Galaxy in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]].''
*** The ''Freezeflame/Ice Volcano Galaxy'' in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', which [[Hailfire Peaks|combines]] [[Slippy-Slidey Ice World]] and Lethal Lava Land for an extra annoying time!
Line 130:
* The old computer game ''Hocus Pocus'' had lava on several levels that damaged you while you stood in it, though didn't instantly kill you.
* Lampshaded in the ''[[Spy Kids]] 3D'' movie.
* The Karamja Volcano in ''[[RunescapeRuneScape]]''.
* Area K in ''[[Mega Man ZX]]''. On the surface it's a geyser-riddled zone. Once you get underground, however, the [[Scrappy Level|Scrappiness]] starts setting in...
* ''[[Mega Man Zero]] 2's'' factory stage {{spoiler|that ''will'' be visited ''twice'' (!)}} combines copious amounts of lava with everyone's favorite mechanical menaces.
Line 154:
* In ''[[Mass Effect]]'', the planet Therum features large lava flows which, [[Convection, Schmonvection|of course]], the [[Player Character]] can stand right next to without difficulty but cannot touch so much as the edge of a tire to without [[Critical Existence Failure|bursting into lethal flame]].
* Deep Inferno from ''[[Pangya]]''. Complete with pyroclastic flows for "rough", lava pool "water hazards" and lung-clogging ash filling the air. Did I mention this is a ''golf'' game?
* ''[[Aladdin (Capcom)|Aladdin]]'' and ''[[Aladdin (Virgin Games)|Aladdin]]'' both have Aladdin's escape from the Cave of Wonders as a two-stage sequence of this. The second stage in both games features the [[Advancing Wall of Doom|Advancing Lava Wall of Doom]].
* The volcano zone of ''[[Monster Hunter]]'' is pretty much the Prehistoria volcano played straight. It does, however, avert [[Convection, Schmonvection]]: without the right equipment, the player will take damage just by setting foot in the area.
* ''A.I.M.'' (Artificial Intelligence Machine, or Mech Minds if you're Russian) has the Volcano sector, where one must avoid vapor geysers, electromagnetic fences, ravines and lava lakes of varying sizes. Not to mention the hostile gliders, who are more powerful than previous sectors.
Line 182:
* FireCage from ''[[An Untitled Story]]'' is [[Eternal Engine|mechanic]] version of this.
* Last Cave from ''[[Cave Story]]'' features several lakes of lava, not seen anywhere else in the game.<ref>In spite of [[Underground Level|game's main setting]].</ref>
* ''[[StarcraftStarCraft II]]'' has a level that floods with lava every few minutes. Just to be mean, all the resources are in areas that flood. In a nice touch, the local fauna is programmed to flee to higher ground in the seconds before the lava arrives, except for the Brutalisk, who may be more focused on killing your team than evacuating the flood. One achievement requires you to kill the Brutalisk in this fashion.
* The Oven from ''The Addams Family''(SNES).
* The ''[[Ys]]'' series has this in most of its games, eg Burnland/Moat of Burnedbless in ''II'', the Ilvern Ruins in ''III/Oath'', Fire Mountain in ''Mask of the Sun'', the Lava Fields of Nelgal in ''Dawn of Ys'', etc. In most cases, you can't even fall into the lava, due to [[Edge Gravity]] or [[Insurmountable Waist-Height Fence|insurmountable barriers]].
* The Fire Stage in ''[[Gradius]] III'', and the second half of the Volcanic Stage in ''Gradius IV''. The Volcanic stages in most of the games, while they have erupting volcanoes, are more of standard [[Death Mountain]] or [[Underground Level]]s.
* The Fire Spring in ''[[EarthboundEarthBound]]''.
* The second-to last level in [[Bujingai Swordmaster]] starts as a series of caverns which eventually brings you in a volcano. And you must reach the top in order to finish the level.
* Volcano Castle, Fire Field, and Lava Flow in ''Bonk's Revenge''. The [[Underground Level|underground levels]] also have lava pits.
Line 205:
* ''[[Evolva]]'': Levels 6, 7, and 8. There's also a single [[Lava Pit]] in level 5, but it's extremely easy to avoid it in contrast to the ones in later levels.
* The second half of Stage 5 in ''[[Video Game/Alisia Dragoon|Alisia Dragoon]]''.
* The first half of the second stage in ''[[Jackie ChansChan's Action Kung Fu]]''.
* Shows up pretty regularly in ''[[LegoLEGO Rock Raiders]]''. And they are much despised because your miners don't seem to realize that [[Artificial Stupidity|cutting corners across lava isn't a bright idea]].
* The Phoenix Mountain/Volcano in ''[[Kid Icarus: Uprising|Kid Icarus Uprising]]''.
