Template:Articleabout Template:Species-infobox Burners[1] (also known as Rocket Engines[2] and ThrustersTemplate:Refneeded) are hazards found on the Airships (and in one case, tanks) in Super Mario Bros. 3.

Burners have a similar design to Bill Blasters; however, Burners emit flames instead of Bullet Bills. The flames stay blowing for a few seconds, then stop for a while. Mario and Luigi must use this time to navigate through or around them. In addition, Burners can be mounted on either walls, floors, and/or ceilings, so their flames can blow in any direction.

History

Super Mario series

Super Mario Bros 3

Burners first appear in Super Mario Bros. 3 on airships and tank levels. Tanooki Mario, in statue form, can temporarily disable the flames, but only until the next time. Besides their use on Airships, one tank within the first tank level in Dark Land was shown with a Burner, although its position (being one of the pipe-cannons) implies that its use was closer to a flamethrower.

New Super Mario Bros

Burners also are in New Super Mario Bros. and New Super Mario Bros. Wii. In the former, they are stationary, while they can turn in the sequel.

Super Mario Galaxy

In Super Mario Galaxy, four Burners appear on the Saucer Planet of Good Egg Galaxy. Here, they act just like Bill Blasters, but shoot out a small explosion. If Mario is standing directly over the opening when it fires, he will get hurt.

Super Mario 3D Land

Burners with blue flames also appear in the Nintendo 3DS game, Super Mario 3D Land. They appear on Airship levels, just like they did in Super Mario Bros. 3, and in some ground levels, like World 8-2. Additionally, they can now be destroyed with a Statue Leaf.

New Super Mario Bros 2

Burners reappear in New Super Mario Bros. 2. They are found in several castles and fortresses.

New Super Mario Bros U

Burners appear in New Super Mario Bros. U, and are present in courses like Boarding the Airship and Larry's Torpedo Castle.

Super Mario Maker

Burners reappear in Super Mario Maker. Their default form is "on," while shaking them turns them off when they appear on-screen.

Mario Kart series

Mario Kart DS

Burners appear in the game Mario Kart DS on the Airship Fortress level. If a player comes in contact with one, they will spin out of control on fire and lose some time. They also appear in a mission where coins have to be collected and if the player hits one, they automatically lose.

Mario Kart 7

Burners reappear in Mario Kart 7 on the course Airship Fortress, where they operate as in Mario Kart DS burning the player if they come into contact with them.

Mario Kart 9

Burners make a minor appearance in Mario Kart 8 in Bowser's Castle on top of the checkered flag.

Mario Party series

Burners also appear in Hazard Hold, from Mario Party 9, being obstacles that the solo player can control.

Burners reappear in Mario Party 10 replacing Skewers in Chaos Castle in Bowser Party mode as a trap.

Burners reappear in Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam as obstacles in the Papercraft Fire Mario segment.
