==History==

===''Paper Mario'' series===

====''Paper Mario: Sticker Star''====

[[File:FanPMSS.png|thumb|left|The Fan as a sticker]]

In ''Paper Mario: Sticker Star'', the Fan is found in W1-2, [[Bouquet Gardens]]. It produces a large breeze that destroys a [[Toad (species)|Toad]]'s flower garden and blows [[Goomba]]s towards Mario. If Mario starts a battle with a Goomba, the breeze causes Mario, the Goomba, and background elements to shake, although this does not have any affect on gameplay. Mario is also unable to progress past the flower garden area while the Fan is on. Standing in front of the Fan causes Mario to be blown back to the flower garden. Checking the Fan makes Mario turn it off and collect it. It remains in Mario's [[Album]] until it is turned into a [[sticker]] at a [[Sling-a-Thing]] station. Once it has been used as a sticker, it returns to its original position. It may also be purchased from the [[Shady Toad]] for 130 [[coin]]s and sold as a sticker for 20 coins.

The Fan is mandatory to complete W1-4, [[Hither Thither Hill]]. Mario must [[Paperize]] near the windmill and use the Fan in the paperization zone. After placing the Fan, it appears in the background in a giant state and turns on. It causes most objects to wobble, lifts all present enemies, and turns the blades of the windmill. After it stops, the enemies return to the ground without getting hurt and Mario is able to enter the windmill.

====''Paper Mario: Color Splash''====

In ''Paper Mario: Color Splash'', the Fan is found at [[Cherry Lake]]. It produces a breeze that blows [[Shy Guy]]s towards Mario and lifts the bridge to [[Justice Toad]]. If Mario starts a battle with a Shy Guy, the breeze causes Mario, the Shy  Guy, and background elements to shake. In addition, defeating the Shy Guy causes its remains to blow away in the wind. While the Fan is on, Mario is unable to progress to Inner Cherry Lake. To reach the Fan, Mario must use [[Cutout]] to reach the land it is on. Once the Fan has been picked up, it is wrung out, refills Mario's paint, and become a colorless card. Once it has been used as a card, it returns to its original position. It can also be purchased from the [[Wringer]] for 300 [[coin]]s and sold as an unpainted card for 1 coin. A replica version of the Fan can be collected from the [[Battle Spin]].

====''Paper Mario: The Origami King''====

The Fan returns in ''[[Paper Mario: The Origami King]]'', although not as a collectible item. When Mario completes a puzzle on [[Bonehead Island]], the Fan is seen rising up in the background, accompanied by music similar to its appearance in ''Sticker Star''. The blades spin rapidly as it dispels the fog from [[the Great Sea]], and it sinks back into the water once it finishes.
