'''Pansers''' are [[list of enemies|enemies]] commonly found in ''[[Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. Their name is a portmanteau of "{{wp|pansy}}," which is a type of flower, and "Panzer," the German word for "tank," perhaps in reference to a Panser's ability to throw [[fireball]]s. Along with [[Pokey]]s, Pansers 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.

The red version stays in one place and shoots two fireballs in the player's direction, the green/gray variant (both just green in the [[reissue]]s) patrols an area and shoots fireballs straight up, and the most powerful, the pink (blue in the reissues), chases the player and shoots fireballs towards them. These enemies can be defeated only by throwing another enemy or an item, such as a [[vegetable]] or [[Mushroom Block]], at them. Pansers originally had black stems, but in the reissues 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 is 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. | The [[Lava Lotus]] from ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' resembles a large transparent Panser.
