Lantern Ghosts are known to hate the light, but despite this, they always carry a lit lantern with them. | |
|

|
| ==History==
| | '''Lantern Ghosts''' are lantern-carrying specters that closely resemble a cross between a [[Duplighost]] and a [[Shy Guy]]. Their smile also makes them resemble the trees from the [[Forest of Illusion]] from ''[[Super Mario World]]''. Despite hating the light and loving the dark, Lantern Ghosts can never be found without a lit lantern. They have close ties with Shy Guys, as seen in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', ''[[Paper Mario]]'', and ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]''. In ''Yoshi's Island'' they are in the cave levels, and almost always in the darkest parts so only their lanterns' light is seen. They are essentially the Shy Guys of caves in ''Yoshi's Island'' games, where their mechanics are no different than those of Shy Guys. |
| ===''Yoshi's Island'' series===
| |
| Lantern Ghosts are enemies in every installment of the [[Yoshi's Island (series)|''Yoshi's Island'' series]]. They behave identically to Shy-Guys, as they only walk around and sometimes emerge from [[pipe]]s. A [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] can defeat a Lantern Ghost by either eating it or [[jump]]ing on it. In ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' and its [[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3|remake]], Lantern Guys are enemies commonly encountered in caves, and they appear in the same four color varieties as regular Shy-Guys: grey, green, orange, and brown. In ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'', Lantern Ghosts are exactly the same as in ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'', but they instead appear in only three color varieties: white, red, and green. In ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]'', only green Lantern Guys appear, and they appear in the levels [[Lantern Ghost Grotto]] and [[Bandit Valley]].

| ===''Mario Party Advance''===
| | Several Lantern Ghosts appear in the basement of [[Horror Condo]] in ''[[Mario Party Advance]]''. They are a part of a [[Toad Force V]] fan club known as the [[TFV Fan Club]]. Lantern Ghosts were also referenced in ''[[Super Princess Peach]]'', whose [[King Boo]] battle (as well as the background of [[Shriek Mansion]]'s map) featured lightposts clearly modeled after Lantern Ghosts. |

| |
| Several Lantern Ghosts appear in the basement of [[Horror Condo]] in ''[[Mario Party Advance]]''. They are a part of a [[List of Implied Entertainment#Toad Force V|Toad Force V]] fan club known as the [[TFV Fan Club]]. When approached, the leader introduces himself as Lantern Ghost and says that the club is currently in session. He then asks if the player is a fan of the show. If the player claims that they are a fan, Lantern Ghost says that they don't look like one and asks to show him a Toad Force V figure. When the player fails to produce it, he says to go to the [[Junk|item shop]] and buy a figure. Once the player returns with a figure, he lets them in and holds onto the figure for them, and as a complimentary reward, gives them the [[Poochy Pal]] [[Gaddget]]. He proclaims that the player is now a member of the fan club and asks them to spread the word about the show. | |

|
| ===Other appearances===
| | There is a possibility that the light in the lantern is a [[Li'l Sparky]], as it was in ''Paper Mario'' where [[Big Lantern Ghost]] carried a Li'l Sparky named [[Watt]], who would go on to join [[Mario]]'s party, in his lantern. |
| Lantern Ghosts are also referenced in ''[[Super Princess Peach]]'', where the [[King Boo]] battle (as well as the background of [[Shriek Mansion]]'s map) featured lightposts modeled after them.

| |
|
| An [[List of Paper Mario: Color Splash pre-release and unused content#Rock Paper Wizard|early image]] of the [[Rock Paper Wizard]] shows that he was originally going to be a Lantern Ghost-like character who, instead of carrying a lantern, carried a wand with a glove on its top end.
