The '''Big Lantern Ghost''' is the mid-boss of [[Shy Guy's Toy Box]] from ''[[Paper Mario]]''. He is a giant [[Lantern Ghost]] with a bandage on his forehead who resides in a dark room. After being defeated in battle, Mario learns that the Big Lantern Ghost had been holding [[Watt]] prisoner inside of his lantern.
 
At the start of the battle, the Big Lantern Ghost cannot be attacked directly. In order to target him, the player must repeatedly attack the lantern that he holds in order to spread light through the room and render him visible for attack. Once the lantern's light is large enough, he will occasionally blow into the lantern to extinguish it and become unavailable to target again. The Big Lantern Ghost is also capable of casting a ring of light from his lantern, dealing two damage to [[Mario]] and incapacitating his partner for several turns unless guarded against. Once the player defeats him, he flees and drops his lantern, which Watt is trapped in. After freeing her by breaking the lantern, Watt joins Mario's party as his sixth partner.


The '''Big Lantern Ghost''' is the mid-boss of the [[Shy Guy's Toy Box]] in the game ''[[Paper Mario]]''. Although he carries a lantern, the Big Lantern Ghost lives in an extremely dark room. In fact, he loves darkness and dreads light. As such, [[Mario]] and his partners should attack the ghost's lantern, which in turn causes the room to brighten. [[Bow]]'s slap attacks are highly effective as they will cause the lantern to immediately light the entire room. When the room is completely lit, Mario and company can attack the Big Lantern Ghost directly. After the ghost is defeated, Mario can shatter the lantern with his [[Hammer]]. A [[Li'l Sparky]] named [[Watt]] will emerge from the lantern. As it turns out, she was trapped in the lantern and forced to be the Big Lantern Ghost's light source. After Mario frees her, Watt becomes Mario's sixth companion.
