'''Burners''' (either lowercase or capitalized; also known as '''Rocket Engines''',<ref>''Nintendo Power'' Volume 13. Page 9.</ref> '''Flame Jets''',<ref>M. Arakawa. ''NES Game Atlas''. Page 34. "''Just be careful to avoid the Flame Jets.''"</ref> '''Jets''',<ref>M. Arakawa. ''NES Game Atlas''. Page 37. "''Carefully study the timing of the Jet’s firing to make it through this area unscathed.''"</ref> and '''flamethrowers'''<ref>Peterson, Erik. ''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3'' Player's Guide. Page 116.</ref>) are hazards that appear in the ''[[Mario (franchise)|Mario]]'' games, commonly featured in [[airship]] levels. Burners are flamethrower-like devices that intermittently emit flames for a few seconds; [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] must 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.

Rocket Engines first appear in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. 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|airship|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, although its position as being one of the pipe-cannons implies that its use was closer to a flamethrower.

Engines, known here as '''fire platforms''',<ref>Hodgson, David S J, Bryan Stratton, and Stephen Stratton. ''Super Mario Sunshine'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide. Page 15.</ref> appear again in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'' 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 [[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 also appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' Here, they appear in {{world-link|7|castlen|World 7-Castle (New Super Mario Bros.)}}, {{world-link|8|towern|World 8-Tower (New Super Mario Bros.)}} during the boss battle and {{world-link|8|bowsern|World 8-Bowser's Castle (New Super Mario Bros.)}}, and work in the same way as they did in ''Super Mario Bros. 3''. There are also smaller burners in the last level that are always on.

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]] traps are closer in behavior to burners.

Burners reappear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. This time, some burners are able to rotate 180 degrees, and emit much longer flames. [[Bob-omb]]s explode immediately when they touch the flames of burners.

====''Super Mario Maker'' / ''Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Super Mario Maker 2''====

Burners reappear in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'', ''[[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]''. 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.]]'' style and the ''[[Super Mario World]]'' style, and their flame lights Bob-omb fuses rather than causing them to immediately explode.

Burners appear under their current name in the game ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' on the [[DS Airship Fortress|Airship Fortress]] and [[Bowser Castle (Mario Kart DS)|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 and lose some time. They also appear in a mission where [[coin]]s have to be collected; if the player hits one, they automatically lose.
