'''Candles''' are objects in [[Earth|the real world]] that have sometimes made appearances in [[Mario (franchise)|''Mario'' games]] as enemies. 

==History==
===''Super Mario Bros. 3''===
Candles<ref>''Super Mario Bros. 3'' instruction booklet. Page 24.</ref> first appeared in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', where they would sometimes be used as a hiding place for [[Hot Foot]]s. Candles sometimes appear as background items in many games as well. 

===''Luigi's Mansion''===
In ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'', Candles<ref>Hodgson, David S. J., and Bryan Stratton. 2001. ''Luigi's Mansion'' [[Prima Games|Prima]] Official Strategy Guide. Page 7.</ref> are often used to light the hallways of the mansion, often times they would be used to solve certain puzzles. Candle lamps were one of the many sources of [[Fire Elemental Ghost]]s, if [[Luigi]] used the [[Poltergust 3000]] on a candle lamp it would release a Fire Elemental Ghost which Luigi could capture in order to turn the Poltergust 3000 into a flamethrower. 

===''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga''===
In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'', a candle appears in [[Joke's End]], on the third floor. It appears useless, but if the player fills Mario with water on floor four and brings the bros. back down to the candle, they can hit Mario over the head with Luigi's hammer to cause Mario to spit water at the candle, extinguishing it. This causes a hidden [[? Block]] to appear in the room below, which contains seven [[Hoo Bean]]s.

===''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'' series===
====''Mario vs. Donkey Kong''====

In ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis]]'', candles<ref>''Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis'' object graphics filename (<tt>data/data/anims/candle_anim.bin</tt>)</ref> appear as enemies once again, with the same attack pattern as in the previous game. If a [[Mini Mario (toy)|Mini Mario]] touches one it will instantly be defeated.

===''Super Paper Mario''===
In ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', candle lamps appear as enemies in [[Merlee's Basement]], when [[Mimi]] chased [[Mario]] and [[Princess Peach]] through the mansion. The candle lamps shoot fire at either hero, and it is invincible. There are also candles in [[The Underwhere]] and [[Castle Bleck]] that [[Bowser]] can light.

===''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3''===
