Big Lantern Ghost

The Big Lantern Ghost is the mid-boss of the Shy Guy's Toy Box in the game Paper Mario. Although he carries a lantern, the Big Lantern Ghost lives in an extremely dark room. In fact, he loves darkness and dreads light. As such, Mario and his partners should attack the ghostâ€™s lantern, which in turn causes the room to brighten. Bow's slap attakcs are highly effective as they will cause the lantern to immediately light the entire room. When the room is completely lit, Mario and company can attack the Big Lantern Ghost directly. After the ghost is defeated, Mario can shatter the lantern with his Hammer. A Liâ€™l Sparky named Watt will emerge from the lantern. As it turns out, she was trapped in the lantern and forced to be the Big Lantern Ghostâ€™s light source. After Mario frees her, Watt becomes Marioâ€™s sixth companion.

The Big Lantern Ghost may have been a large Shy Guy in disguise. Smaller versions of Big Lanturn Ghost appear in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island
