[[Mario]] and other player characters have to use the time in between discharges to navigate through or around them. Burners can be mounted on walls, floors, and/or ceilings, so their flames can blow in any direction.
==History==
===''Super Mario'' series===
====''Super Mario Bros. 3''====
[[File:SMAS Burner.png|thumb|In ''Super Mario All-Stars'']]
Rocket Engines first appear in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' in horizontal and vertical-facing configurations, with the former resembling repurposed [[Bill Blaster|Turtle Cannon]]s. In the game's original version, [[Tanooki Mario]] can permanently disable the flames by using his [[Statue Mario|statue form]] to land on them, unless they are pointing downward. In ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'', the flames will return if Mario loses a life, while in ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', they simply reappear a while after being put out. The first level in which Rocket Engines appear is {{world link|3|airship3|World 3-Airship (Super Mario Bros. 3)}}. Besides their use on Airships, one tank within the first [[tank]] level in [[Dark Land]] was shown with a Rocket Engine that shares an identical [[small pipe]] appearance with a horizontal [[cannon]]. This type of Rocket Engine is reused for the left-facing ones in the [[World-e]] level [[Bowser's Airship 2]].

====''Super Mario Sunshine''====
Engines, known here as '''fire platforms''',<ref>{{cite|author=Hodgson, David S J, Bryan Stratton, and Stephen Stratton|date=September 3, 2002|title=''Super Mario Sunshine'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide|publisher=Prima Games|language=en-us|isbn=0-7615-3961-1|page=15}}</ref> appear again in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''<ref>{{cite|date=October 19, 2015|title=''Super Mario Bros. Hyakka: Nintendo Kōshiki Guidebook'', ''Super Mario Sunshine'' section|publisher=[[Shogakukan]]|language=ja|isbn=978-4-09-106569-8|page=105}}; identification shared with other iterations in other sections</ref> in [[Corona Mountain]]; this time, they appear as flattop grills with flames ignited on top of them. If Mario touches the flames even once, he will take three points of damage and be sent flying as with most fire sources, which is likely to cost him a life unless water makes contact with the platform prior to the damage. Mario can easily extinguish these flames with [[F.L.U.D.D.|FLUDD]], and use the cooled-off surface as a platform, but they will light up again after a short amount of time.
{{br}}

====''New Super Mario Bros.''====
Burners are objects in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' They appear in {{world link|7|castlen|World 7-Castle (New Super Mario Bros.)}}, {{world link|8|towern|World 8-Tower (New Super Mario Bros.)}} during the boss battle and {{world link|8|bowsern|World 8-Bowser's Castle (New Super Mario Bros.)}}. There are burners with long flames that turn on and off after a few seconds like in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', as well as burners with small flames in the last level that are always on.

====''Super Mario Galaxy''====
[[File:SMG Burner.png|thumb|100px|A burner in ''Super Mario Galaxy'']]
In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', four burners appear on the Saucer Planet of [[Good Egg Galaxy]]. Here, they look and act just like [[Bill Blaster]]s, but charge up while glowing red for several seconds before shooting out a small explosion. If Mario is standing directly over the opening when it fires, he will take damage. [[Fire Shooter]]s are closer in behavior to traditional burners.

[[File:NSMBW World 4-A Screenshot.png|thumb|left|Burners in [[World 4-Airship (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 4-Airship]] from ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'']]
Burners are objects in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. [[Bob-omb]]s explode immediately when they touch the flames of burners. Some burners are [[moving torch]]es are able to rotate 180°.
{{br|left}}

====''Super Mario 3D Land''====
Burners, known here as '''jet engines''',<ref>{{cite|author=von Esmarch, Nick|date=November 13, 2011|title=''Super Mario 3D Land'' PRIMA Official Game Guide|publisher=Prima Games|language=en-us|isbn=978-0-307-89386-4|page=37}}</ref> also appear in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]''. They appear on Airship levels, just like they did in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', and in some ground levels such as [[World 8-2 (Super Mario 3D Land)|World 8-2]]. They emit blue flames and can now be destroyed with a [[Statue Leaf]].

====''New Super Mario Bros. 2''====
Burners reappear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. They are found in several castles and fortresses, including {{world link|5|towern2|World 5-Tower (New Super Mario Bros. 2)}} and {{world link|6|bowsern2|World 6-Bowser's Castle}}; burners are also the main obstacles in {{world link|6|towern2|World 6-Tower (New Super Mario Bros. 2)}}. In the latter level, some of them have switches that must be hit to turn them off for a limited time.

====''New Super Mario Bros. U'' / ''New Super Luigi U'' / ''New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe''====
Burners appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', and are present in courses like [[Boarding the Airship]] and [[Larry's Torpedo Castle]]. Moving torches from ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' return. In the game's expansion ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'', they only appear in [[Flame-Gear Tower]].

====''Super Mario Maker'' / ''Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS''====
[[File:SMM Burner.png|thumb|An active Burner]]
Burners reappear in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS]]''. Their default form is "on," while shaking them turns them off when they first appear on-screen; when they are off, they have a dotted outline. They have new sprites made for the ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', and ''[[Super Mario World]]'' styles and their flame lights Bob-omb fuses rather than causing them to immediately explode.

====''Super Mario Run''====
Burners appear in ''[[Super Mario Run]]'' in two courses: their self-titled course [[Firing the Airship's Burners]] and the non-[[Pink Coin (Super Mario Run)|Pink Coin]] layouts of [[Airship Armada]]. They have the same appearance as the Burners from the ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' style in ''Super Mario Maker''. Firing the Airship's Burners ends on a battle against [[Boom Boom]], whose room contains a Burner on the left wall and right wall. These burners alternate firing, such that when one Burner turns off, the other Burner prepares to fire. When Boom Boom is defeated, both Burners turn off permanently. The one that is currently active sputters a bit before shutting down.

====''Super Mario Maker 2''====
Burners return in ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'', retaining their behavior in its predecessor. This time, however, they are placed in the Gizmos category, and holding {{button|switch|A}} or {{button|switch|jc-right}} when the cursor is on a Burner allows the player to turn it off when first appearing on-screen. They are incompatible with the ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' game style.

====''Super Mario Bros. Wonder''====
Burners reappear in ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]'', acting the same as in previous appearances, but now emit light green flames rather than their usual orange fire. They only appear in [[Petal Isles Flying Battleship]]. They come in several configurations, including moving torches and midair double-sided spinners. A [[handle-controlled burner|new variant with Bowser's face]] also makes its debut in the game, appearing in [[Deep Magma Bog Flying Battleship]].

===''Yoshi's Story''===
Engines, known here as '''flaming urns''',<ref>{{cite|quote=Two Shy Guys push flaming urns, and sandwiched between the two walls of flames sweats Yoshi.|author=Leung, Jason, Terry Munson, and Scott Pelland|date=1998|title=''Yoshi's Story'' Player's Guide|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|page=127}}</ref> appear in ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'' in Page 6-4: [[Magma Castle]]. Here, they are operated by [[Burner Heihō]].

===''Mario Kart'' series===
[[File:MKT Airship Fortress Scene2.jpg|thumb|Burners in ''Mario Kart Tour'']]
Burners appear under their current name in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' on the [[DS Airship Fortress|Airship Fortress]] and [[Bowser Castle (Mario Kart DS)|Bowser Castle]] courses. They appear as vertical flaming pillars. In the former course, two burners move left and right slowly, and in the latter course, two that flicker on and off appear in the spinning room. If a player comes in contact with one, they will spin out of control while on fire and lose some time. They also appear in a mission where [[coin]]s have to be collected backwards without touching one; if the player does, they immediately fail the mission.

Burners reappear in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'', ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', and ''[[Mario Kart World]]'' with the return of Airship Fortress; in ''Mario Kart 7'', they are referred to as '''cutting torches'''.<ref>{{cite|author=von Esmarch, Nick|date=December 4, 2011|title=''Mario Kart 7'' PRIMA Official Game Guide|publisher=Prima Games|language=en-us|isbn=978-0-307-89384-0|page=158-159}}</ref>

Burners make a minor appearance in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' in [[Bowser's Castle (Mario Kart 8)|Bowser's Castle]] on top of the finish line gate.

===''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''===
Burners<ref>Internal object names in the data, including but not limited to <tt>gr2_burner_set_01</tt> and <tt>burnerR</tt></ref> appear as obstacles in many places in [[Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary|The Subspace Emissary]] mode of ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', with their appearance varying by stage; ones in cavernous areas are simply orange flame bursts from walls, while ones in mechanized areas are more traditional wall-mounted cannons, albeit with blue flames. Some can by activated and deactivated with the use of nearby switches.

===''Mario Party 10''===
Burners appear in ''[[Mario Party 10]]'', replacing [[Skewer]]s in [[Chaos Castle]] as a trap during Bowser Party mode, where after defeating the [[Whomp]] and before [[Homestretch!]], [[Bowser]] chooses and turns on four traps on the first level and six traps on the other. When the captain lands in front of a trap, the Burner shoots fire and the captain loses half of their [[Heart (item)|Heart]]s. When controlling Bowser, the [[Wii U#Wii U GamePad|Wii U GamePad]] shows which Burners are on.

===''Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam''===
Burners reappear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'' as obstacles in the [[Papercraft#Papercraft Fire Mario|Papercraft Fire Mario]] segment.
{{br}}
===''Mini Mario & Friends: amiibo Challenge''===
[[File:Play Nintendo MMFaC Items Fire Block.png|thumb|200px|Fire Blocks in ''Mini Mario & Friends: amiibo Challenge'']]
In ''[[Mini Mario & Friends: amiibo Challenge]]'', Burners are referred to as '''Fire Blocks'''<ref name="MM&FaC">{{cite|url=play.nintendo.com/news-tips/tips-tricks/mini-mario-friends-amiibo-challenge-items|title=Mini Mario & Friends: amiibo Challenge Items|publisher=Play Nintendo|language=en|accessdate=April 6, 2020|archive=web.archive.org/web/20200816215214/https://play.nintendo.com/news-tips/tips-tricks/mini-mario-friends-amiibo-challenge-items}}</ref><ref>{{cite|author=Nintendo of America|date=April 28, 2016|url=youtu.be/_OYRwWDrUaQ?t=58|title=Mini Mario & Friends: amiibo Challenge – Objects Introduction|timestamp=00:58|publisher=YouTube|language=en-us|accessdate=April 6, 2020}}</ref> and appear predominantly in [[Fire Ride Fortress]]. They produce a continuous stream of fire that can damage the [[Mini]]. Fire Blocks have a red button that, when tapped, toggles all Fire Blocks in the level on or off simultaneously. Upward Fire Blocks have metal lids that function as platforms which can be raised up by a fire stream.
