Lava Boost is when Mario jumps after he comes into contact with lava, unless he is slide kicking. This action does not require A to be pressed. This is useful for various things, especially in the A Button Challenge.
Applications
Speedrunning
Some speedrunners use Lava Boost as a means to get around levels such as Lethal Lava Land faster. This is primarily useful for skipping long sections of the map, as instead of avoiding damage you can take a couple of hits to clear stars much faster.
Vertical Speed Conservation
If Mario lands on a floor after a lava boost, his vertical speed will not be set to 0. At max, Mario can have VSC80. This is used in an alternate method for LLL in the A Button Challenge to get to the platform with a spinning heart inside the volcano.
