Effect Provides information when read.

Travel Tips, also known as signs,[1][2][3] signboards,[4] or boards, are guideposts in the Super Mario franchise that debuted in Super Mario 64. In all appearances, a Travel Tip provides information on an available action or the current level when prompted. Travel Tips are either staked into the ground like posts, or attached to the side of walls. Staked Travel Tips often have a secondary interactive element.

The player is rarely obligated to read Travel Tips. They are there if needed. In Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2, there are a few boards that are conscious, speaking characters.
