In nearly all appearances, the player character lights lanterns in their [[Fire Mario|Fire form]]. [[Level]]s that feature lanterns almost always include [[Fire Flower]]s. Like with [[lava]] and other forms of fire, touching a lantern's flame burns the character, even if they were the one who lit it. | In nearly all appearances, the player character lights lanterns in their [[Fire Mario|Fire form]].

Torches<ref name=galaxy/> are introduced in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. They typically bear red flames, but in some ghost-themed [[Galaxy|galaxies]], their flames are blue. In missions featuring the Fire Flower, lighting all of the torches in an area triggers a nearby event, such as in the opening of a stone gate in [[The Underground Ghost Ship]]. Torches otherwise can be encountered already lit. The flames can be put out by a [[Spin]], typically giving a [[coin]] afterwards. They have the same function in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. | |||

Torches return in ''Super Mario 3D Land''. In this game, lighting them usually reveals [[coin]]s. Exclusively in [[World 5-2 (Super Mario 3D Land)|World 5-2]], lighting all four of the torches in one specific area causes the "Puzzle Solved Jingle" from ''The Legend of Zelda'' series to play while a door that leads to the level's second [[Star Medal]] opens. | |||
