-When the player comes into contact with lava they, get burned and mario does a jump. This jump is pretty big and can be used to skip some puzzles or get to places faster. This is also useful for [[Vertical Speed Conservation]] as if mario lands near the start, he gets a big amount of Vertical Speed Stored. If you are looking for the trick in the volcano, see [[Volcano Lava Boost]].
+'''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.
