Wario using a stove as a stepping stone in Wario Land II

Stoves[1][2][3] in the Super Mario franchise appear in Wario Land II and Wario Land 3 as chunky, cylindric furnaces with a visible grid on their front side. They appear throughout many levels, even in places they normally do not belong. The stoves' main purpose is to aid Wario in reaching higher places. Wario can move the stoves by using his Dash Attack on them, and then use them as a stepping stone to reach locations he could not reach by normal means. When a stove is moved over a ledge, it descends rapidly and creates percussion upon contact with the ground, indicating their massive weight. Stoves in Wario Land 3 are slightly taller than their original counterparts, and they appear in three levels: A Town in Chaos, The Grasslands, and Castle of Illusions.
