History
Super Mario series
New Super Mario Bros.
Volcanic Debris reappears in World 8-8 of New Super Mario Bros., which is a level with many Kab-ombs. These rocks destroy blocks and set off the fuses on Kab-ombs, and hurt Mario or Luigi if they touch one. They can be defeated with a Super Star.
New Super Mario Bros. Wii
The rocks later appear in New Super Mario Bros. Wii, and is mostly found in World 8-1 alongside drifting poisonous clouds, Buzzy Beetles and rising lava spouts. Larger debris also appears, and can plow through several blocks before landing, in addition to taking up more space. Some Volcanic Debris also appears at the beginning of World 8-2.
New Super Mario Bros. 2
Volcanic Debris appears in New Super Mario Bros. 2, in which its role is the same as in its previous appearance. It's only found in World 6-1.
New Super Mario Bros. U / New Super Luigi U
In New Super Mario Bros. U and New Super Luigi U, Volcanic Debris was replaced by Meteors and Bowser's Fireballs, though they have the same behavior.
Super Mario 3D World
Volcanic Debris also appears in Super Mario 3D World, with an appearance similar to Bowser's Fireballs in New Super Mario Bros. U. In addition to falling from above, it now creates a lava puddle upon landing. It only appears in The Great Tower of Bowser Land, being expelled by a volcano in the background, and in Hisstocrat Returns and Boss Blitz, in which it is generated by Queen Hisstocrat.

Paper Mario series
Paper Mario: Sticker Star
In Paper Mario: Sticker Star, Volcanic Debris is referred to as "meteors"[citation needed] and is only found in one level, Rugged Road. The rocks can still hurt Mario if he touches them, but now they can also harm him if he gets caught in the spot where the debris lands for about one second. In addition, the meteors also home in on Mario.
Paper Mario: Color Splash
Volcanic Debris appears in Paper Mario: Color Splash in the level Kiwano Temple. It appears at the end of the level, where it jumps out of the lava and hovers over the platform Mario and Huey are on. If Mario touches it, he will take 8 HP of damage.
