Lava Lord

Lava Lord is an unused Alternative Boss for the Big Bully in Lethal Lava Land with a similar appearance to a bully in the current game. This boss would replace the "Hot-Foot-It Into The Volcano" star or be the 7th star for the level, and Mario would have to beat him to collect the star.

Appearance
The Lava Lord has a dark grey body, along with having short arms just like the Child of King Bob-omb. It also has a crown, which gives it's name as a leader. He also has a mustache, similar to the one King Bob-omb has. Sometimes when it you battle him during night when you have the Internal Clock, he can be seen wearing a stocking cap with yellow stars on top of blue.

Location
It's entryway is at the top of the Volcano, where the star it replaces would be. Once you enter the hole, you will enter a new map, with a lengthy ramp to go up. It's skybox is pure red, with small snippets of rock textures. Once you go up the ramp, there will be a pad, where the boss resides. Once you made it up to the pad, there will be a forcefield blocking you from leaving the pad.

Tactics
The Lava Lord will try to push you off the pad, just how regular Bullys do. Sometimes it will tackle the player, which will have more force than a regular push. If you dodge it, Lava Lord will get near an edge, and will start balancing to stay on the platform, which gives you a short time to ambush. At random times, Lava Lord will jump into the air and attempt to ground-pound the player. If it fails, then it falls into the ground to where it's mustache is and creates a shockwave pulsing across the battlefield. The Lava Lord can throw, by attempting to catch you. If he does, then he will walk for a bit and chuck you in the lava with a lot of force. At rare intervals, the player will be teleported to the bottom of the ramp with a shell. Everything is turned into magma, and you have to go to the top of the ramp to hit Lava Lord, while meteors are falling at you.To defeat Lava Lord, you can pick up Lava Lord and throw him. Instead of just throwing him across the ramp, you have to chuck him into the slowly rising magma.

Phenomena
This boss appears in very few personalized copies, only having two reported recordings. The Lava Lord is also subjected to Enemy Discoloring, appearing Royal Blue or White in stages like Snowman's Land and Big Chilly Blargg's Fort.￼
