It has been requested that this article be rewritten and expanded to include more information.

This article is about the species from the Yoshi franchise. For the character from Mario Party Advance, see Lantern Ghost (character).

Template:Species-infobox Lantern Ghosts[1] are lantern-carrying, shrouded Shy Guys appearing in the Yoshi franchise and Mario Party Advance. Despite hating the light, Lantern Ghosts are always seen with a lit lantern. Just like the regular Shy-Guys in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, they can be found in four colors, being grey, green, orange, and brown. They walk around and can be defeated by either being eaten or jumped on.

Several Lantern Ghosts appear in the basement of Horror Condo in Mario Party Advance. They are a part of a Toad Force V fan club known as the TFV Fan Club, which includes the group's leader, who asks the player to show them a Toad Force V Figure. Lantern Ghosts are also referenced in Super Princess Peach, whose King Boo battle (as well as the background of Shriek Mansion's map) featured lightposts modeled after them.

An early image of the Rock Paper Wizard shows that he was originally going to be a Lantern Ghost-like character who, instead of carrying a lantern, carried a wand with a glove on its top end.
