[[Mario]] and other player characters have to use the time in between discharges to navigate through or around them. Burners can be mounted on walls, floors, and/or ceilings, so their flames can blow in any direction.
 
Burners have been designed similarly to that of [[Bill Blaster]]s; however, Burners emit flames instead of [[Bullet Bill]]s. The flames stay blowing for a few seconds, then stop for a while. [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] must use this time to navigate through or around them. In addition, Burners can be mounted on either walls, floors, and/or ceilings, so their flames can blow in any direction.

[[File:SMAS Burner.png|thumb]]
[[File:SMAS Burner.png|thumb|In ''Super Mario All-Stars'']]
Burners first appear in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' on airships and tank levels. [[Tanooki Mario]], in [[Statue Mario|statue form]], can permanently disable the flames if they are shooting upward or to the right (though in ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'', the flames will return if Mario loses a life). Besides their use on Airships, one tank within the first tank level in [[Dark Land]] was shown with a Burner, although its position (being one of the pipe-cannons) implies that its use was closer to a flamethrower.
Rocket Engines first appear in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' in horizontal and vertical-facing configurations, with the former resembling repurposed [[Bill Blaster|Turtle Cannon]]s. In the game's original version, [[Tanooki Mario]] can permanently disable the flames by using his [[Statue Mario|statue form]] to land on them, unless they are pointing downward. In ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'', the flames will return if Mario loses a life, while in ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', they simply reappear a while after being put out. The first level in which Rocket Engines appear is {{world-link|3|airship3|World 3-Airship (Super Mario Bros. 3)}}. Besides their use on Airships, one tank within the first [[tank]] level in [[Dark Land]] was shown with a Rocket Engine that shares an identical [[small pipe]] appearance with a horizontal [[cannon]]. This type of Rocket Engine is reused for the left-facing ones in the [[World-e]] level [[Bowser's Airship 2]].

If Mario touches the flames even once, he will take three points of damage and be sent flying as with most fire sources, which is likely to cost him a life unless water makes contact with the platform prior to the damage. Mario can easily extinguish these flames with [[F.L.U.D.D.|FLUDD]], and use the cooled-off surface as a platform, but they will light up again after a short amount of time.
Burners appear again in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'' in [[Corona Mountain]] but in a different form. This time they appear as flattop grills with flames ignited on top of them. If Mario touches the flames even once, Mario will lose a life instantaneously. Mario can easily extinguish these flames with [[F.L.U.D.D.]], and use the cooled off surface as a platform, but they will light up again after a short amount of time.

In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', four Burners appear on the Saucer Planet of [[Good Egg Galaxy]]. Here, they act just like [[Bill Blaster]]s, but charge up for several seconds before shooting out a small explosion. If Mario is standing directly over the opening when it fires, he will get hurt. [[Fire Pressure]]s use their usual behavior.

They are incompatible with the ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' game style.
Burners appear in the game ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' on the [[Airship Fortress]] and [[Bowser Castle (DS)|Bowser Castle]] levels.

Burners (either lowercase or capitalized; previously known as Rocket Engines,[1] Flame Jets,[2] Jets,[3] and flamethrowers[4]) are flamethrower-like hazards that intermittently emit flames for a few seconds. Mario and other player characters have to use the time in between discharges to navigate through or around them. Burners can be mounted on walls, floors, and/or ceilings, so their flames can blow in any direction.

A pair of Rocket Engines.
In Super Mario All-Stars

Rocket Engines first appear in Super Mario Bros. 3 in horizontal and vertical-facing configurations, with the former resembling repurposed Turtle Cannons. In the game's original version, Tanooki Mario can permanently disable the flames by using his statue form to land on them, unless they are pointing downward. In Super Mario All-Stars, the flames will return if Mario loses a life, while in Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3, they simply reappear a while after being put out. The first level in which Rocket Engines appear is World 3-Airship. Besides their use on Airships, one tank within the first tank level in Dark Land was shown with a Rocket Engine that shares an identical small pipe appearance with a horizontal cannon. This type of Rocket Engine is reused for the left-facing ones in the World-e level Bowser's Airship 2.

Super Mario Sunshine[edit]

Engines, known here as fire platforms,[5] appear again in Super Mario Sunshine[6] in Corona Mountain; this time, they appear as flattop grills with flames ignited on top of them. If Mario touches the flames even once, he will take three points of damage and be sent flying as with most fire sources, which is likely to cost him a life unless water makes contact with the platform prior to the damage. Mario can easily extinguish these flames with FLUDD, and use the cooled-off surface as a platform, but they will light up again after a short amount of time.

New Super Mario Bros.[edit]

Burners are objects in New Super Mario Bros. They appear in World 7-Castle, World 8-Tower during the boss battle and World 8-Bowser's Castle. There are burners with long flames that turn on and off after a few seconds like in Super Mario Bros. 3, as well as burners with small flames in the last level that are always on.

Super Mario Galaxy[edit]

In Super Mario Galaxy, four burners appear on the Saucer Planet of Good Egg Galaxy. Here, they act just like Bill Blasters, but charge up for several seconds before shooting out a small explosion. If Mario is standing directly over the opening when it fires, he will take damage. Fire Shooters are closer in behavior to burners.

New Super Mario Bros. Wii[edit]

Burners are objects in New Super Mario Bros. Wii. Some burners that resemble cannons are able to rotate 180°. These burners come in three different flame lengths. Bob-ombs explode immediately when they touch the flames of burners.

Super Mario 3D Land[edit]

Burners, known here as jet engines,[7] also appear in Super Mario 3D Land. They appear on Airship levels, just like they did in Super Mario Bros. 3, and in some ground levels such as World 8-2. They emit blue flames and can now be destroyed with a Statue Leaf.

New Super Mario Bros. 2[edit]

Burners reappear in New Super Mario Bros. 2. They are found in several castles and fortresses, including World 5-Tower and World 6-Bowser Castle; burners are also the main obstacles in World 6-Tower. Some of them have switches that must be hit to turn them off for a limited time.

New Super Mario Bros. U / New Super Luigi U / New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe[edit]

Burners appear in New Super Mario Bros. U, and are present in courses like Boarding the Airship and Larry's Torpedo Castle. Rotating Burners from New Super Mario Bros. Wii return. In the game's expansion New Super Luigi U, they only appear in Flame-Gear Tower.

Super Mario Maker / Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS[edit]

Burners reappear in Super Mario Maker and Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS. Their default form is "on," while shaking them turns them off when they first appear on-screen; when they are off, they have a dotted outline. They have new sprites made for the Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros. 3, and Super Mario World styles and their flame lights Bob-omb fuses rather than causing them to immediately explode.

Super Mario Run[edit]

Burners appear in Super Mario Run in airship levels. They have the same appearance as the Burners from the New Super Mario Bros. U style in Super Mario Maker. Two Burners appear in the second battle with Boom Boom.

Super Mario Maker 2[edit]

Burners return in Super Mario Maker 2, retaining their behavior in its predecessor. This time, however, they are placed in the Gizmos category, and holding A Button or Single Joy-Con Right Button when the cursor is on a Burner allows the player to turn it off when first appearing on-screen. They are incompatible with the Super Mario 3D World game style.

Super Mario Bros. Wonder[edit]

Burners reappear in Super Mario Bros. Wonder, acting the same as in previous appearances, but now emit light green flames rather than their usual orange fire. They only appear in Petal Isles Flying Battleship. They come in several configurations, including some that rotate left and right slightly, and midair double-sided spinners. A new variant with Bowser's face also makes its debut in the game, appearing in Deep Magma Bog Flying Battleship.

Yoshi's Story[edit]

Engines, known here as flaming urns,[8] appear in Yoshi's Story in Page 6-4: Magma Castle. Here, they are operated by Burner Heihō.

Mario Kart series[edit]

Burners in Mario Kart Tour

In the Mario Kart series, Burners appear under their current name in Mario Kart DS on the Airship Fortress and Bowser Castle courses. They appear as vertical flaming pillars. In the former course, two burners move left and right slowly, and in the latter course, two that flicker on and off appear in the spinning room. If a player comes in contact with one, they will spin out of control while on fire. Burners appear in Mario Kart 7 with the name cutting torches,[9] on DS Airship Fortress, also appearing here in Mario Kart Tour. Burners make a minor appearance in Mario Kart 8 in Bowser's Castle on top of the finish line gate.

Mario Party series[edit]

Burners in Mario Party 9

Burners also appear in Hazard Hold, from Mario Party 9, being obstacles that the solo player can control. When they are activated, they rotate 90° once, then turn off again. Burners reappear in Mario Party 10, replacing Skewers in Chaos Castle as a trap during Bowser Party mode, where after defeating the Whomp and before Homestretch!, Bowser chooses and turns on four traps on the first level and six traps on the other. When the captain lands in front of a trap, the Burner shoots fire and the captain loses half of their Hearts. When controlling Bowser, the Wii U GamePad shows which Burners are on.

Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam[edit]

Burners reappear in Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam as obstacles in the Papercraft Fire Mario segment.

Mini Mario & Friends: amiibo Challenge[edit]

Fire Blocks in Mini Mario & Friends: amiibo Challenge

In Mini Mario & Friends: amiibo Challenge, Burners are referred to as Fire Blocks[10][11] and appear predominantly in Fire Ride Fortress. They produce a continuous stream of fire that can damage the Mini. Fire Blocks have a red button that, when tapped, toggles all Fire Blocks in the level on or off simultaneously. Upward Fire Blocks have metal lids that function as platforms which can be raised up by a fire stream.

Profiles[edit]
