This is a Big Lantern Ghost. He avoids attacks by hiding in the dark. Max HP: 40, Attack Power: 5, Defense Power: 0 Your friends, like (ahem) me, will also be damaged when he does the flash attack. The flash attack's power is 2. Hit the Lantern many times to make it brighter, then you'll be able to attack him. As soon as you can see, hit him right in the head!

“So... I'll take you with me... ...to the deep dark...”
Big Lantern Ghost, Paper Mario

The Big Lantern Ghost is the mid-boss of the Shy Guy's Toy Box from Paper Mario. He is a giant Lantern Ghost with a bandage on his forehead who resides in an extremely dark room.

In battle Mario and his partners should attack the ghost's lantern, which in turn causes the room to brighten. When the room is lit enough that the ghost can be seen, Mario and company can attack him 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. After Mario frees her, Watt becomes Mario's sixth companion.

A Big Lantern Ghost in Bandit Valley

A lone Big Lantern Ghost also appears in a cave area in Bandit Valley in the game Yoshi's New Island. It can be swallowed by Yoshi to become a Mega Eggdozer so that the nearby blockade can be cleared. Unlike the Lantern Ghost found in Paper Mario, this one doesn't have an X shaped bandage on his head.

Super Mario-Kun flavor text

  • きなおしりでヒップドロップとかカンテラフラッシュとかいろいろ攻撃してくるけど、やみの攻撃しひきょうじゃないですか。だから、かぶりものをとってピカピカにしてやったのだ。」 (He'll Hip Drop you with his big butt or use the Lantern Flash attack, but the Darkness attack is a little unfair isn't it? That's why his headdress was taken away and he was made sparkly.)
