==History==
===''Super Mario'' series===
====''Super Mario 3D Land''====
[[File:SM3DL_ss13.png|thumb|Mario looking through a pair of binoculars in ''Super Mario 3D Land'']]
Binoculars in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'' can be stepped on from a green platform, allowing Mario to take a look through the lens and get a view of the whole area. The binoculars are controlled by moving the [[Nintendo 3DS]] around using its gyro-sensor control, and the player can press {{button|3ds|L}} or {{button|3ds|R}} to zoom out and zoom in, respectively. The player can also look for hidden [[Toad (species)|Toad]]s, and if the Toads are sighted, they will throw out items such as [[Star Medal]]s, [[1-Up Mushroom]]s, or even [[Super Star]]s. The camera can also be moved about using the {{button|3ds|Stick}} on the 3DS. The image within the binoculars appears as 2D even if 3D is turned on.

There is a possibility that a white [[UFO]] can be spotted in certain levels such as [[World 1-3 (Super Mario 3D Land)|World 1-3]], though it eventually disappears from sight via the binoculars.<ref>{{cite|author=GSD3DS|date=December 22, 2011|url=youtu.be/WysjrJRbC1w|title=Super Mario 3D Land - UFO in world 1-3|publisher=YouTube|language=en|accessdate=July 6, 2024}}</ref>

====''Super Mario 3D World'' / ''Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury''====
In ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]'', a [[Sprixie]] holding a pair of orange binoculars appears in certain points of the levels, indicated with a round white platform. Once the player(s) step(s) on that platform, the camera shifts towards the direction of the [[Goal Pole]], as the Sprixie looks through the binoculars. While these spots are referred to as binoculars in the [[Prima Games]] guide, there are differences compared to binoculars in other games: The player(s) cannot zoom in or out, and can only move the camera angle along a fixed plane.

====''Super Mario Odyssey''====
[[File:SMO Wooded Kingdom Binoculars.jpg|thumb|left|Screenshot from ''Super Mario Odyssey'']]
Binoculars return in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]''. Here, Mario uses them by [[capture|capturing]] them with [[Cappy]], and they launch upward a set distance (due to being tethered by a thin cord) before usage, allowing Mario to view more of the area he is in. The location of the current [[mission|objective]] is highlighted, with a rectangular box stating its name positioned just above the location or [[Power Moon]]. In some kingdoms, a peculiar flying object (such as the [[Sphynx]] or a [[taxi]]) can be spotted in the sky, and zooming onto it with the binoculars makes a Power Moon appear. If the player looks into the Sun by using the binoculars, Cappy tells the player to stop. Looking at the [[Moon]] has Cappy admire the view. If the player looks at the roof of [[Peach's Castle]], Cappy mentions the egg on the roof. A number of other context sensitive responses can occur, such as one for the [[Broodals]]' airship.  

In this game, binoculars resemble [[R.O.B.]]'s head. Their model shows them having no eyes, instead glass as binoculars usually have. However, they actually do have eyes, but underneath the glass in their model.<ref>{{cite|url=x.com/MarioBrothBlog/status/1317884207847378944|title=The Binoculars in Super Mario Odyssey do not visibly gain Mario's eyes when captured; however, the eyes are actually present under the opaque lenses, just not visible. The Art of Super Mario Odyssey book also shows the eyes, meaning they were covered up during development.|publisher=Twitter|date=October 18, 2020|language=en|accessdate=July 6, 2024}}</ref>

===''Mario Party'' series===
[[File:MP9 4-Player Goomba Spotting.png|thumb|Goomba Spotting in ''Mario Party 9'']]
Binoculars appear in the [[Mario Party (series)|''Mario Party'' series]]. While they do not appear in ''[[Mario Party 9]]'', the [[Goomba Spotting]] [[minigame]] (also returning in ''[[Mario Party Superstars]]'') appears to be viewed from the perspective of a pair of binoculars, except during the ending. Binoculars from ''Super Mario 3D Land'' are used in the minigame [[Point 'n' Shoot]] in ''[[Mario Party: Island Tour]]''.

===Super Nintendo World===
Several sets of binoculars exist in the [[Super Nintendo World]] themed lands that use augmented reality to superimpose animated characters onto the landscape of the park. One of the [[Key Coin|keys]] of the [[Super Nintendo World#Power-Up Band Key Challenges|Power-Up Band Key Challenges]] can be obtained by spotting an [[Airship]] with the binoculars.<ref>{{cite|author=Lloyd, Spencer|date=February 3, 2021|language=en|url=wdwnt.com/2021/02/photos-video-taking-on-the-four-key-challenge-mini-games-in-super-nintendo-world|title=PHOTOS, VIDEO: Battle Goombas, Koopas, Piranha Plants, and Bob-ombs in the Four Key Challenge Mini-Games in Super Nintendo World|publisher=WDW News Today|accessdate=January 22, 2023}}</ref> Moving the binoculars towards the sky results in them zooming out into space to reveal the [[Comet Observatory]], with [[Rosalina]] flying out to greet the viewer,<ref>{{cite|url=x.com/salismetho/status/1613631455057543169|author=Sal|title=There’s also a little Mario Galaxy Easter Egg!
