Torches<ref name=spm/> are introduced late into ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', found along the walls of [[Underwhere Road]]. [[Bowser]] can light one to temporarily remove the darkness from obscuring the area. A set of white torches are also found within [[Castle Bleck]], and must be lit in a pattern matching torches from another area to reveal a staircase. Torches will extinguish after a set amount of time and do not harm the player character in this game.

Torches<ref name=galaxy/> return in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. They typically bear red flames, but in some ghost-themed [[Galaxy|galaxies]], their flames are blue. In missions featuring the Fire Flower, lighting all of the torches in an area triggers a nearby event, such as in the opening of a stone gate in [[The Underground Ghost Ship]]. Torches otherwise can be encountered already lit. The flames can be put out by a [[spin]], typically giving a [[coin]] afterward. They have the same function in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''.

In ''Super Mario 3D Land'', lighting torches usually reveals coins. Exclusively in [[World 5-2 (Super Mario 3D Land)|World 5-2]], lighting all four of the torches in one specific area causes the "Puzzle Solved Jingle" from the series ''The Legend of Zelda'' to play while a door that leads to the level's second [[Star Medal]] opens.

In ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and [[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury|its port]], lighting torches<ref name=3dworld/> can brighten up dark areas such as in [[Switchblack Ruins]], and reveal [[Green Star]]s as seen in [[Piranha Creeper Creek after Dark]], where every torch in each room must be lit to get them.

Lanterns appear in nearly every kingdom in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', exhibiting designs that compliment the visited area's culture and geography. Typically, lanterns are always lit. They can be extinguished with a [[Cap Throw]], by striking them with a [[Capture|captured Pokio]]'s beak, or with [[Yoshi]]'s tongue. 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 (Super Mario Odyssey)|barrier]]. When all are lit, the entrance becomes accessible. Lanterns are the only source of light around [[List of Power Moons in the Metro Kingdom#Scaling Pitchblack Mountain|Pitchblack Mountain]] in [[New Donk City]].

In the [[Luncheon Kingdom]], lighting [[List of Power Moons in the Luncheon Kingdom|specific lanterns]] awards Mario [[Power Moon]]s. Traditional [[List of power-ups|power-ups]] do not appear in ''Super Mario Odyssey'', so in lieu of Fire Flowers, Mario must capture [[Fire Bro]]s, [[Fire Piranha Plant]]s, and [[Lava Bubble]]s to light the lanterns. Five different objectives in the Luncheon Kingdom require lighting lanterns. A similar [[List of Power Moons in the Wooded Kingdom#Hot, Hot, Hot from the Campfire|objective involving a campfire]] is in the [[Wooded Kingdom]].
