Lanterns (also referred to as torches[1] or candlesticks)[2] are recurring objects in the 3D Super Mario games. Lighting lanterns with fireballs can open pathways or make collectible items appear. Their function is shared with the Torches in The Legend of Zelda series, something that is lampshaded in World 5-2 of Super Mario 3D Land.
In nearly all appearances, the player character lights lanterns in their Fire form. Levels that feature lanterns almost always include Fire Flowers. 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.
History
Super Mario Galaxy / Super Mario Galaxy 2
Lanterns are introduced in Super Mario Galaxy. They typically bear red flames, but in some ghost-themed galaxies, their flames are blue. In missions featuring the Fire Flower, lighting all of the lanterns in an area triggers a nearby event, such as in the opening of a stone gate in The Underground Ghost Ship. Lanterns 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.
Super Mario 3D Land
Lanterns return in Super Mario 3D Land. In this game, lighting them usually reveals coins. Exclusively in World 5-2, lighting all four of the lanterns 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.
Super Mario 3D World / Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury
In Super Mario 3D World and its port, lighting lanterns can brighten up dark areas (such as in Switchblack Ruins) and reveal Green Stars (as seen in Piranha Creeper Creek after Dark, where every lantern in each room must be lit to get them).
Super Mario Odyssey
Lanterns appear in nearly every kingdom in Super Mario Odyssey, exhibiting designs that compliment the visited area's topography. Typically, lanterns are always lit. They can be extinguished with a Cap Throw, or by striking it with a captured Pokio's beak. A lantern often releases a coin or a Life-Up Heart when its flame is put out. In Shiveria, four candlesticks encircle the entrance to Snowline Circuit. One becomes lit when Mario clears a barrier. When all are lit, the entrance is accessible. Lanterns are the only source of light around Pitchblack Mountain in New Donk City.
In the Luncheon Kingdom, lighting specific lanterns awards Mario with Power Moons. Traditional power-ups do not appear in Super Mario Odyssey, so in lieu of Fire Flowers, Mario must capture Fire Bros and Fire Piranha Plants to lite the lanterns. There are five different missions in the Luncheon Kingdom that require lighting lanterns. There is a similar mission involving a campfire in the Wooded Kingdom.
