Lava Lotuses

I wanted to make a level with Lava Lotus. They're like Volcano Lotus, but float, has a different design and hitbox, and are mostly found Underwater.

They look like this:

Details:
- They look like this (Above)
- They shoot the same projectiles, same quantity of projectiles at the same frequency of shooting it like a Volcano Lotus.
- They're slightly bigger than a Volcano Lotus, but not as wide. (I think Lava Lotuses are, 4 tiles wide and 5 tiles high)
- They float (at least in my MarioEditor experience).
- They are mostly found underwater.

Plz. This why simpler than, for example, Piranha Creepers! ;)

This could just be a Lava Lotus Custom Graphic, since they behave identical. I could o it, if you cut provide me
a Sprite Sheet with Ripped Graphics 'cause I can't work with what you posted.

From what it sounds like, he just wants a reskinned Volcano Lotus. That should require no special Lua coding as you wouldn't have to make it behave like a real Lava Lotus from SMB3.

I know I've seen what he's looking for in an episode before. Try the SMB3 Remake episode and look in the underwater levels of worlds 3, 4, or 8.

.-. You know what forget it, the Lotuses behave mostly the same... I will copypaste Volcano Lotus, editing the Gravity and graphics and finally, Lava Lotus

I found the graphics for it and have posted them here. As I mentioned above, it is simply a reskin for the Volcano Lotus.

That's like saying a Snifit and Wart are mostly the same because they both shoot projectiles.
Lava Lotuses fire between 3 to 5 projectiles that move slowly upward with minimal spread that last about 6 seconds before disappearing. Volcano Lotuses fire 4 projectiles that rise rapidly upward with a large spread leaving good sized gaps between and then fall off the screen.

You'll need to remove the gravity entirely from the projectiles so that they rise upward and reduce their speed drastically to replicate their behavior.
