In Paper Mario: Sticker Star, the Magnifying Glass is a thing first found in the Sandshifter Ruins. It can also be bought from the Shady Toad in Decalburg. In battle, the Magnifying Glass intensifies the sun's rays on enemies, causing burn damage.

Paper Mario: Color Splash

The Magnifying Glass Thing returns as a card in Paper Mario: Color Splash. It can be found in the Tangerino Grill's freezer or bought from the Wringer in Port Prisma for 200 coins. In battle, rather than burning enemies with the sun's rays, it instead enlarges Mario so he can trample enemies.
