'''Pansers''' are enemies commonly found in ''[[Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. Along with [[Pokey]]s, they are the only known hostile plant species in [[Subcon]], although Pansers were created by [[Wart]].<ref name=booklet>{{cite|quote=The only plant life Wart created for the world of dreams. It spouts fire.|title=''Super Mario Bros. 2'' instruction booklet|page=26|date=1988|language=en-us|publisher=Nintendo of America|author=Nintendo}}</ref> There are three types of Pansers: red, pink, and either green or gray depending on location. The red version stays in one place and shoot two [[fireball]]s in the player's direction, the green/gray variant (both just green in the remakes) patrols an area and shoot fireballs straight up, and the most powerful, the pink (blue in the remakes), chases the player and shoots fireballs towards them. These enemies can only be defeated by throwing another enemy or an item, like a [[vegetable]] or [[Mushroom Block]], at them. Pansers originally had black stems, but in the [[reissue|remakes]] included in ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Advance]]'', they have beige stems. The red Pansers are always depicted as having green stems in artwork.

The [[Lava Lotus]] from ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' resembles a large, transparent Panser. The similar [[Volcano Lotus]] introduced in ''[[Super Mario World]]'' additionally shares the same Japanese name as Panser, suggesting a connection. However, neither of these plants are ever shown to be able to move, and they release their projectiles in periodic sets rather than rapidly fire in an arc. The [[Fire Nipper Plant|Fiery Walking Piranha]] from ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', [[Pompon Flower]] from ''[[Super Mario Land]]'', [[Furafurawā]] from the [[Game Boy]] version of ''[[Donkey Kong (Game Boy)|Donkey Kong]]'', [[Wild Ptooie Piranha]] from ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', and [[Pollen Plant]] from ''[[Virtual Boy Wario Land]]'' are also similar.

In [[3DS Shy Guy Bazaar|Shy Guy Bazaar]] in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', many stalls (and even part of the track itself) are decorated with red carpets, all of which feature Panser sprites as motifs, along with [[Phanto]]s and [[Cobrat]]s.
No actual Panser is found outside of ''Super Mario Bros. 2'', its remakes, and other related media. Nonetheless, in the racetrack titled [[3DS Shy Guy Bazaar|Shy Guy Bazaar]] in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', many stalls (and even part of the track itself) are decorated with red carpets, all of which feature Panser sprites as motifs, along with [[Phanto]]s and [[Cobrat]]s.


In ''[[Super Mario-kun]]'', a singular Panser appears in [[Super Mario-kun Volume 9|volume 9]]. After the Mushroom Kingdom falls into chaos, many strange creatures start to appear out of nowhere, including the Panser. It attacks Mario, Luigi and Yoshi, but Mario ties its petals right when it is about to spit another fireball barrage, exploding in the process.

After the Mushroom Kingdom falls into chaos, many strange creatures start to appear out of nowhere, including the Panser (apparently a pink variant, since it is able to walk). It attacks Mario, Luigi and Yoshi, but Mario ties its petals right when it is about to spit another fireball barage, exploding in the process.
 
In the NES version, they have black stems, but in the SNES version and other subsequent remakes, they have beige stems. The red ones are always depicted as having green stems in artwork.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*Excluding [[Wart]], Pansers are the only enemy from ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' to not appear in ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'' However, their ability of shooting fire was passed to [[Piranha Plant]]s.
*Excluding [[Wart]], Pansers are the only enemy from ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' to not appear in ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'', but their ability of shooting fire was passed to [[Piranha Plant]]s.
*The Pansers' name is a portmanteau of "{{wp|pansy}}", a type of flower, and "Panzer", the German word for "tank", perhaps in reference to the plant's ability to throw fireballs.
*Pansers likely get their name a combination of the word {{wp|pansy}}, a type of flower, and {{wp|German_tanks_in_World_War_II#The_Panzer_name|Panzer}}, a German tank, perhaps in reference to the plant's ability to throw fireballs.
