Big Lantern Ghost

"So... I'll take you with me... ...to the deep dark..."

- Big Lantern Ghost

The Big Lantern Ghost is the mid-boss of the Shy Guy's Toy Box from Paper Mario. He is a giant Lantern Ghost with a bandage on his forehead who resides in an extremely dark room.

In battle Mario and his partners should attack the ghost's lantern, which in turn causes the room to brighten. When the room is lit enough that the ghost can be seen, Mario and company can attack him directly. After the ghost is defeated, Mario can shatter the lantern with his Hammer. A Li'l Sparky named Watt will emerge from the lantern. After Mario frees her, Watt becomes Mario's sixth companion.

Super Mario-Kun flavor text

 * 「大 きなおしりでヒップドロップとかカンテラフラッシュとかいろいろ攻撃 してくるけど、暗 やみの攻撃 は少 しひきょうじゃないですか. だから、かぶりものをとってピカピカにしてやったのだ. 」 (He'll Hip Drop you with his big butt or use the Lantern Flash attack, but the Darkness attack is a little unfair isn't it? That's why his headdress was taken away and he was made sparkly.)
