'''Keys''' in the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]] are items and objects typically used for opening [[Key Door|locked doors]] or unlocking secret paths, and they have taken on a variety of designs throughout their appearances.

[[File:Key SMA artwork.jpg|thumb|100px|A Key, as depicted for ''Super Mario Advance'']]

Keys in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' are objects corresponding to locked doors, with both objects first appearing in [[World 1-2 (Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 1-2]]. All keys are guarded by [[Phanto]]s, one of which will chase the player until the key is either dropped or unlocks a door. Keys are one of the few items like [[Mushroom]]s to always be above ground and not having to be uprooted. A Key in [[World 7-2 (Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 7-2]] is held by a [[Birdo]], whom the player must defeat for the key.

Keys and [[keyhole]]s in ''[[Super Mario World]]'' appear in various levels, where carrying a key to a keyhole opens the current level's secret exit. Keys can be carried around and dropped or kicked upwards. A key can be carried by [[Yoshi]] in his mouth, but he will swallow the key if it remains in his mouth for too long. Unlike other items, the location of a key does not reset when it is scrolled off the screen.

====''Super Mario 64'' / ''Super Mario 64 DS''====

[[File:Key 64.png|thumb|Mario obtaining the Boss Key of Bowser in the Fire Sea in ''Super Mario 64'']]

Keys in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' appear only as two '''Big Keys''',<ref>{{cite|title=''[[Nintendo Power]]'' Volume 91|page=63|language=en-us|publisher=Nintendo of America|date=December 1996}}</ref><ref>{{cite|date=February 24, 1998|archive=web.archive.org/web/20000303135944/http://www.nintendo.com/n64/super_mario64/items.html|title=Items {{!}} ''Nintendo: Super Mario 64 Strategy''|publisher=Nintendo.com|language=en-us|accessdate=February 23, 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite|author=Prima Bath|title=''Nintendo 64 Game Secrets, 1999 Edition'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide|date=April 7, 1999|page=84 and 86|isbn=0-7615-2103-8|publisher=[[Prima Games]]|language=en-us}}</ref><ref>{{cite|author=Prima Bath|title=''Ultimate Nintendo 64 Pocket Power Guide, 1999 Edition'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide|date=April 21, 1999|page=56 and 57|publisher=Prima Games|language=en-us|isbn=0-7615-2083-X}}</ref> located in [[Bowser in the Dark World]] and [[Bowser in the Fire Sea]] respectively. Each Big Key can be obtained by [[Mario]] after defeating Bowser. The first Big Key unlocks the opens the door to the basement of the [[Peach's Castle|Mushroom Castle]], while the second key opens the door to the upper floors of the Mushroom Castle. If the player tries unlocking the door to the upper floors with the basement key, a message is displayed, notifying the player that the key does not fit the lock.

====''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3''====

A Key in ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' appears only in the [[World-e]] level, [[Doors o' Plenty]], retaining its interactive properties from ''Super Mario World'' but having to open a Key Door, as in ''Super Mario Bros. 2''.

====''New Super Mario Bros.'' subseries====

[[File:NSMB Key.png|frame|left|Mario wins a key in World 3.]]

[[File:NSMBW Key Screenshot.png|thumb|200px|Mario sees a key after defeating [[Roy|Roy Koopa]] in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''.]]

Keys in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'' and ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' are items that appear only after defeating one of the [[Koopalings]] at their castles, and the player has to grab the key to both complete and exit the level. Keys in the [[Coin Battle]] mode of ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' grant five coins to whichever player had collected it.

{{br}}

Keys in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' can be collected to automatically open locked doors or [[cage]]s. A Key in the [[Gateway Galaxy]] and the [[Ghostly Galaxy]] is held by a [[Big Goomba|Grand Goomba]] and a [[Boo]], respectively, both releasing the Key after the enemies have been defeated.

[[File:SMG2 Key.png|thumb|x100px|left|A Key on the [[Battle Belt Galaxy#Jack O' Goomba Planet|Jack O' Goomba Planet]] in the [[Battle Belt Galaxy]] in ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'']]

Keys in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' are functionally identical to their appearance in ''Super Mario Galaxy'', and appear in galaxies such as the [[Haunty Halls Galaxy]], the [[Battle Belt Galaxy]], and also briefly in the [[Rolling Masterpiece Galaxy]].

Keys in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' can be added to levels ever since the update released on March 9, 2016. Keys can be placed in blocks, or in an enemy, making them obtainable after Mario defeats it. Additionally, another new item included in the update, the [[Pink Coin (Super Mario Maker)|Pink Coin]], reveals a key once Mario collects every single one in the level. Keys cannot be carried by Mario, since they now follow him automatically, not unlike the keys of the [[Yoshi's Island (series)|''Yoshi's Island'' series]]. Up to eight keys can be obtained at one time.

====''Super Mario Run''====

 

 

====''Super Mario Maker 2''====

[[File:SMM2-SM3DW-Key.png|thumb|left]]

Keys in ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'' retain their function and purpose from ''Super Mario Maker'', and additionally appear in the added fifth game style, ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'', where they resemble the key symbols seen on [[Key Coin]]s in the original game. In multiplayer, a player can stomp on another player who is holding a Key to grab the Key for themselves. If the player holding the Key is defeated, the Key enters a [[bubble]], allowing other players to grab it.

 

Keys in the version 3.0.0 update were given a variation exclusively in the ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' game style, [[Cursed Key]]s, which spawn a [[Phanto]] when picked up, just like keys do in ''Super Mario Bros. 2''.

====''Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury''====

Keys with cat ears appear in the ''[[Bowser's Fury]]'' campaign of ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]'', specifically when a Key is needed to open a cage containing a [[Cat Shine]]. Unlike in previous games, the key must be carried all the way back to the lock, rather than simply touching it. They also disappear if they are on the ground other than their initial spawn point for too long, or if they get thrown into water, the black [[goop]], or [[lava]]. In these cases, the key will respawn back at its original location.

 

[[File:This Key.jpg|thumb|King Koopa holding a key in the ''Super Mario World'' episode "Mama Luigi".]]

Keys in the ''[[Super Mario World (television series)|Super Mario World]]'' cartoon have a purpose in two episodes, "[[Ghosts 'R' Us]]" and "[[Mama Luigi]]". A Key in "Ghosts 'R' Us" is spawned by [[Oogtar]] from a [[? Block]] after [[Wizenheimer]] is defeated, and uses it for the door. This key plays the same sound effect as a [[Cape Feather]]. A Key in "Mama Luigi" is shown off by [[Bowser|King Koopa]], who gloats that the Mario Bros. will never be able to find [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] without it. However, [[Yoshi]] then eats it, and after Koopa retreats, Yoshi spits out the key to open the cell the Princess was being held in.

[[File:WL1 Key.png|left|thumb|Wario carrying a key to a skull door in ''Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3''.]]

Keys in ''[[Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3]]'' are hidden throughout many stages of the game, and are required to open the skull door<ref name=WL>{{cite|title=''Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3'' instruction booklet|language=en-us|date=1994|publisher=Nintendo of America|location=Redmond, WA|page=15}}</ref> (also called Skeleton Door<ref name=WL/><ref>{{cite|author=Hamm & Rudolf GmbH, Frankfurt|title=''Super Game Boy'' Player's Guide|page=28|language=en-us|publisher=Nintendo of America|date=1994}}</ref> or Treasure Room Door<ref>{{cite|title=''Nintendo Power'' Volume 88|date=September 1996|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|page=[https://imgur.com/a/5m2Mlbg 77]}}</ref>) to a Treasure Room.<ref name=WL/> A key can sometimes be found inside of a [[? Block#Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3|Face Block]]. The keyhole in which the key fits is always found in the same stage as the key and the key can not be taken out of the stage, so it has to be recollected after leaving the level. Inside the Treasure Rooms, [[Wario]] can find one of the collectible [[treasure (Wario franchise)|treasure]]s. However, he cannot be [[Tiny Wario|Small Wario]] as he needs to [[Dash Attack|Body Slam]] the [[treasure chest]] to open it (although [[Dragon Wario (Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3)|breathing fire]] also works).

 

Gate Keys in ''[[Virtual Boy Wario Land]]'' are a requirement for unlocking the elevator at the end of each stage.

While being absent in ''[[Wario Land II]]'', keys reappear in ''[[Wario Land 3]]''. Four differently colored keys are hidden throughout the level: a '''Gray Key'''<ref>{{cite|title=''Nintendo Power'' Volume 133|page=60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65|date=June 2000|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us}}</ref> (or '''Silver Key'''<ref>{{cite|archive=web.archive.org/web/20010429172737/http://www.warioland3.com/strategy/body.asp?key_id=N5_SILVER&land_id=N5|title=Official American ''Wario Land 3'' website|publisher=Nintendo.com|language=en-us|deadlink=y}}</ref>), '''Red Key''',<ref>{{cite|title=''Nintendo Power'' Volume 133|page=60, 62, 63, 64, 66|date=June 2000|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us}}</ref> '''Green Key''',<ref>{{cite|title=''Nintendo Power'' Volume 133|page=61, 62, 64, 65, 66|date=June 2000|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us}}</ref> and '''Blue Key'''.<ref>{{cite|title=''Nintendo Power'' Volume 133|page=65|date=June 2000|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us}}</ref> Wario can only clear a level if he finds one of the keys and manages to take them to their respective treasure chest. By doing so, he earns himself a new treasure that helps the player to proceed and find new levels. Usually, not all keys in a level are available from the start. The player has to obtain new abilities and meet certain requirements to find them all. After a key is taken to a treasure chest, the chest gets replaced by a [[Goal door (Wario Land series)|goal door]]. After acquiring all treasures in every level and beating the final boss, starting the game will result in Time Attack, in which the objective of every level is to instead collect all four colored keys and exit through one of the goal doors. The fastest possible time will be recorded based on how fast this objective is achieved. Every key can be obtained in a level no matter if it is day or night, so the player will not be locked out of completion in any condition.

When ''[[Wario Land 4]]'' was [[List of Wario Land 4 pre-release and unused content|in development]], [[Wario]] originally needed a key to unlock the four boxes (much like ''[[Wario Land 3]]'') to gain the four Jewel Pieces. In the final game, Wario merely has to touch the box in order to open it. Besides the [[Keyzer]], no other key is seen in the game.

===''Yoshi'' franchise===

Keys in ''[[Yoshi (game)|Yoshi]]'' appear after the player clears levels 22 through 24 of the B-Type game, rewarding the player with 1,000 points.

 

Keys in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' (and [[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3|its reissue]]), ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'', ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'', ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]'', ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]'', ''[[Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World]]'', and ''[[Yoshi's Crafted World]]'' can be collected and carried like [[Yoshi's Egg|Yoshi Egg]]s, taking up one space of the player's maximum number of eggs. They can be used to unlock [[Mini Battle]] houses, locked doors in castles, and [[Cork]]s that block pipes. Additionally, during the cutscene following the defeat of a castle boss, a large key appears and unlocks a keyhole.

 

Keys in ''Yoshi's Story'' are required to open [[Key Door|locked doors]] in the [[Lift Castle]], [[Ghost Castle]], and [[Magma Castle]]. They are obtained by defeating a certain [[ComBat]] in the Lift Castle, popping a certain [[? Bubble]] in the Ghost Castle, and defeating the two [[slug]]s in the Magma Castle. One key in the Ghost Castle is out in the open in an underground section.

===''Donkey Kong'' franchise===

====''Donkey Kong 64''====

Keys in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'' appear only in the form of [[Boss Keys]], which are rewarded after each boss battle, and are used to unlock padlocks on [[K. Lumsy]]'s cage.

====''Donkey Kong Country Returns''====

A key in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' known as a [[Map Key]] can be purchased from [[Cranky Kong's Shop]] in each world, for a total of eight keys. Each key costs 20 [[Banana Coin]]s, and when purchased, unlocks an alternate route on the world map that will allow [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] to reach additional levels. This totals up to a price of 160 Banana Coins for buying all 8 keys.

===''Mario Party'' series===

Keys in the [[Mario Party (series)|''Mario Party'' series]] appear in different varieties. Keys owned by Bowser are called Bowser Keys, and appear usually in [[Minigame|Bowser Minigame]]s, where using them is a requirement to escape from Bowser. Bowser Keys in earlier games of the ''Mario Party'' series are simply keys shaped like Bowser's head, but later installments engrave Bowser Keys  with Bowser's likeness. Keys in ''[[Mario Party 3]]'' appear in the minigame [[Locked Out]], and have key heads shaped like mushrooms, flowers and stars.

 

===''Paper Mario'' series===

[[File:PM Castle Key.png|frame|left|From left to right: [[Tubba Blubba]]'s, [[Bowser]]'s, and [[Hooktail]]'s keys]]

[[File:PM Lock Render.png|frame]]

There are many key designs in ''[[Paper Mario]]'' and its sequel, but each only opens doors in the area they are found. There are Castle Keys for every castle and fortress, and various others keys in different locations. Keys in ''[[Paper Mario]]'' are used in [[Tubba Blubba's Castle]], [[Bowser's Castle]], and [[Peach's Castle]]. [[Tubba Blubba]]'s keys look like three-leaf clovers, while [[Bowser]]'s look like a gold three-leaf clover with a blue ball in the middle. There are about three of Tubba's keys and five of Bowser's keys. [[Princess Peach|Peach's]] Castle Keys are pink versions of Bowser's Castle Keys. Also, a living key called [[Yakkey]] locked the Gusty Gulch Windmill.

[[File:Grotto Key TTYD.png|frame|The [[Grotto Key]] in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''.]]

Keys in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' appear in two varieties: the four [[Castle Key (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door)|Castle Key]]s, which open the doors in [[Hooktail Castle]], and a [[Grotto Key]], which opens the door to the south area in the [[Pirate's Grotto]].

Keys in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'' appear more prominently than in the previous installments. They are used in many levels to unlock doors.

[[File:KeyLM.png|thumb|60px|A key from ''Luigi's Mansion''.]]

Keys in ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'' and its [[Luigi's Mansion (Nintendo 3DS)|Nintendo 3DS version]] are used for unlocking the different rooms of the [[Luigi's Mansion (location)|mansion]]. Keys can usually be obtained from a [[treasure chest]] that appears when clearing a room of every [[Ghost (Luigi's Mansion series)|ghost]]. Keys in certain rooms like the [[Wardrobe Room]] or [[Bathroom (1F)|Bathroom]] spawn on a higher shelf once Luigi hes captured all ghosts in the room. In the [[Fortune-teller's Room]], Luigi must utilize a specific method to acquire the [[Laundry Room (Luigi's Mansion)|Laundry Room]] key, by lighting all four candelabras using the [[element medal|Fire Element Medal]].

 

Also, there are four special keys, with each one having a different card suit: heart, club, diamond, and spade.  

Keys in ''[[Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon]]'' are differently designed, disintegrate upon being used, but retain their usual role of unlocking doors.

====''Luigi's Mansion 3''====

Keys in ''[[Luigi's Mansion 3]]'' are functionally identical to their appearances in ''Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon'', and their design is complementary to that of the architecture of [[the Last Resort]], where they appear throughout.

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

[[File:MvsDK Mario holding Key.jpg|75px|thumb|left|Mario with a Key in ''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'']]

Keys in ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong]]'' have to be collected to progress through the levels, similarly to the Game Boy version of ''Donkey Kong''. Keys need to be carried to locked doors in order to open them and move on to the next area. A Key can be thrown forwards and upwards, like other objects that Mario can pick up, and will also be knocked out of Mario's hand if he is attacked. A unique characteristic that keys have is when they are dropped or put down by Mario, their twelve-second countdown timer is initiated, and will respawn to their original place when the timer is up.

 

Keys in the Plus Levels are smaller and attached to [[Key Mini Mario|Mini Mario]]s, which they trail behind. These keys cannot be picked up by Mario, and a Key has to be brought to the locked door to complete the stage.

 

Keys in the [[Mario vs. Donkey Kong (Nintendo Switch)|remake]] function similarly to their original counterparts, but if a player character runs past a key, it will rotate in place. In the newly-added [[Easy Mode|Casual]] play style, keys have a fifteen-second timer instead of twelve. Additionally, the remake also features a [[Flying key|flying variant]] of keys, with the gold variant used to unlock a chest with five [[1-Up Mushroom]]s in bonus levels, and a silver variant appearing in multiplayer only, which is mandatory to unchain [[Key Door#Mario vs. Donkey Kong|locked doors]] and [[Toy box (object)|toy boxes]] before using them.

 

====''Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again!''====

While regular keys do not appear in ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again!]]'', [[Key Mini Mario]] reappears once again in the various "Key" levels in the game, being required to unlock the [[Goal Door (Mario vs. Donkey Kong series)|Goal Doors]] in them. They also reprise their roles in ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem!]]'' and in ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars]]''.

 

[[File:MOTMKey.png|thumb|right]]

Keys appear in ''[[Mario and Donkey Kong: Minis on the Move]]'' as occasional level elements in [[Mario's Main Event]] and [[Many Mini Mayhem]]. In levels with keys, the goal tile is locked off and cannot be accessed unless a Mini collects a key and makes it to the goal. In Many Mini Mayhem, some Minis may spawn with a key already in possession - this Mini must reach the goal first before any of the other Minis do to unlock it.

 

Keys reappear in ''[[Super Mario Fushigi no Janjan Land]]'', where the player needs to collect at least five of them to fight [[Bowser]].

{{main-wiki|SmashWiki|Key}}

Keys in [[smashwiki:Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary|The Subspace Emissary]] mode of ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' are items found near locked gates. A key held by a player as they approach a gate will unlock it, although the key is disposed of in the process. These keys represent the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]], and not the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]].

 

Keys in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'' and [[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey|its Nintendo 3DS remake]] appear in the form of special items, including [[Blue Key (Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story)|Blue Key]]s, [[Red Key (Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story)|Red Key]]s, and [[Green Key]]s. They are found on the second floor of [[Peach's Castle]], the last stage in the game, held by [[Fawfulcopter]]s which [[Bowser]] must chase after. The Blue Key is required to proceed the storyline; the other two are optional.

 

Earlier in the game, the [[Stingler]] and [[Star Panel]]s behave like keys and open the doors in [[Pump Works]] and the [[Energy Hold]], respectively.

 

A key in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'' appears briefly as a teaching tutorial for the [[Trio Grab]], used to unlock a door in [[Twinsy Tropics Dungeon]].

Keys in ''[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]'' and its Nintendo Switch and Nintendo 3DS [[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker (Nintendo Switch / Nintendo 3DS)|ports]] are items that always open [[Key Door|locked doors]], and can be obtained from [[Pluck Patch]]es. Keys can also be thrown at enemies to defeat them, not unlike ''Super Mario Bros. 2''. Keys are carried by [[Captain Toad]] and [[Toadette]] atop their head, akin to other items. A key can reward one coin if the player clears the stage while that key is outside of its Pluck Patch.

Keys in ''[[Dr. Mario World]]'' are stage objects all found inside bubbles, meaning that they will float upwards until they hit an object. The [[bubble]]s containing the keys cannot be removed until it comes into contact with a [[Key Door|door]], after which it will disappear. Like the bubbles in this game, the keys that are currently floating cannot be reacted to, such as when [[Petey Piranha|Dr. Petey Piranha]]'s hits the bottom-most objects in each column (therefore the key is not treated as the bottom-most object while floating), except by pushing it upwards with a capsule. Moreover, the [[Hammer Bro.]] assistant will affect the floating speed of the key when equipped by slowing down the floating. When a capsule match is made next to the keys, the skill meter will be filled with an extra point for each key that it is made next to, even though the key will not be removed. The keys, as stage objects, appear exclusively in stage mode. Keys first appear in [[World 8 (Dr. Mario World)|World 8]].

Keys in versus mode are items that the player can be rewarded by winning versus matches. They are used to unlock battle boxes, of which the player can obtain three out of the nine possible rewards. The default number of keys required to unlock battle boxes is five since version 2.1.0 and seven prior to that, but only three are required on certain weeks. On certain weeks since season 3, specialists have the benefit of winning two keys instead of one if any of them are used to win the match.

===''The Super Mario Bros. Movie''===

In the {{file link|The Super Mario Bros Movie teaser poster.jpg|teaser poster}} for ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]'', voxelated keys resembling their sprite in ''Super Mario World'' can be seen being sold at the antiques store for two [[coin]]s each.

The stage [[The Case of the Missing Mural]] in ''[[Princess Peach: Showtime!]]'' has two keys, a blue Spades Key and a red Diamonds Key, which are used to open the mummies in the room to the right of the popcorn lobby. The Spades Key is found on the right of the air duct's exit while the Diamonds Key is found to the left of the popcorn kiosk.

You can touch a door while holding the key, or you can even throw the key at a door to unlock it. If you lose the key, it will return to the place you originally found it. This item is vital to your progress, so do your best not to lose it.
