Favorite fire levels? (visually or gameplaywise)

[King Koopa's iconKing Koopa]

I think Flamelurker's arena in Demons Souls (original and remake) looks visually impressive.

Other fire areas I like

Lower Norfair (Super Metroid)

Fire Temple (Ocarina of Time)

Brume Tower (Dark Souls 2)

Stage 1 of Dracula X

What about you?

Rug Ride in Aladdin on Genesis was a pretty good one (does it count?)

What is wrong with you people!? Why aren't you guys using the fire emote more lol.

Fire levels are always fire. And always when you least expect them. Name me a game where the fire stage is the most boring one. It's impossible.

 

[Evaccaneer Doom]

Volcano Valley Zone (Sonic 3D Blast)

Volcanic Zone (Mega Man X2)

Zorne's Stage (Rosenkreuzstilette)

Neo Star (Kirby 64)

Prologue (Ultrakill)

Burning Town (every Shantae game except the mistake that was the 5th game, kidding)

Artificial Sun (Mega Man Zero 4)

Artificial Sun (Mega Man 10)

Aegis Volcano Base (Mega Man Zero 3)

Wacky Workbench's background (this zone is located near the desert, the middle factory next to Quartz Quadrant just like the actual game)

Heat Man (stage so unremarkable that using Item 2 to skip the last you block segment is the most memorable part) and Blaze Heatnix (the stage infamous for being nothing more than a miniboss run)

Lava Reef Zone has been my favourite Sonic & Knuckles level ever since i first played it as a lad.

 

[Anim8rDude]

Oh my god, thanks. How are we not mentioning the most fire opening stage & song of any video game?

 

[Viviana Santos]

Mt. Lavalava from Paper Mario (2000)

 

[Anim8rDude]

You guys running out of steam already!? Admittedly remembering great fire stages off-the-bat is a bit hard.

Volcanos are a mixed bag for the Monster Hunter series but they only got better.

The OG version is cool but man the remastered version...

This one is cheating because it makes it on every list, but as peak level-design as Brume Tower is, Iron Keep is just too damn iconic. And it's literally a hotspot.

In addition to some of the ones already posted (Brume Tower, Fire Temple)...

 

[blue_grass_starter]

Earthworm Jim-2nd lvl, Undertale-hottland, and Stardew Valley-volcano all have pretty hot music

I almost posted this one but I didn't want my post to be too big. Great game by the way.

I don't know about favorite, but I found the music and gimmick of the Rocket Knight Adventures one memorable

 

[MegaHiro91]

This level and its lava falls made an impression on me as a kid.

This thread is on FIRE!!!

Not a fire level but I like the sentence
"Until one day the sky rained fire"
