The flashlight (torch in the British English version of Luigi's Mansion 2) is an item in various games of the Mario franchise, especially the Luigi's Mansion series.

History

Nintendo Adventure Books

The flashlight is an inventory item in the Nintendo Adventure Book Flown the Koopa. If they have it, Mario and Luigi use it to explore the basement of Magikoopa's fortress, but the batteries die, leaving them vulnerable to a pack of Mega Moles.

Luigi's Mansion series

Luigi's Mansion

Luigi uses in Luigi's Mansion. When Luigi first enters the mansion, he is only armed with the flashlight. When Luigi progresses in the game, however, he can use it to stun ghosts.

Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon

The flashlight merges with the Poltergust 5000 in Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon. This flashlight has two upgrades Luigi must find: the Strobulb and Dark-Light Device.

Luigi's Mansion 3

The flashlight returns in Luigi's Mansion 3, along with the Strobulb and the Dark-Light Device, serving as similar purpose as it did in Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon. There are two unlockable aesthetic upgrades: Flashlight Type-B, unlocked by capturing all the Boos in the game, and Flashlight Type-P, unlocked by purchasing the game's Multiplayer Pack.

Super Mario 64 DS / New Super Mario Bros.

The flashlight, under stylus control, is also used to stun Boos in the Super Mario 64 DS and New Super Mario Bros. minigame Hide and Boo Seek.

Mario Super Sluggers

Luigi's flashlight also appears in Mario Super Sluggers where it can be bought at Blue Pianta's shop to unlock the Luigi's Mansion stadium.

Nintendo Land

In the Nintendo Land minigame Luigi's Ghost Mansion, which is based on Luigi's Mansion, each of the four Mii players looking for the Gold Ghost Mii is armed with a flashlight, which is used to attack the ghost. It can be turned on and off; however, if players leave it on for too long, its batteries will run low until they run out altogether. New batteries that appear in the mansion can be collected to restore the flashlight's battery life.
