'''Phantos''' are large, seemingly-living masks that appear in ''[[Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', where they are found guarding [[key]]s. According to the game's manual, they often guard various other treasures as well. Their name is a shortened form of the word "phantom", another word for ghost or specter, and is likely used in reference to ''{{wp|The Phantom of the Opera}}''. | '''Phantos''' are large, seemingly-living masks that appear in ''[[Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', where they are found guarding [[key]]s.

In ''Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic'', the Phanto's expression and color scheme most resembles its original artwork; starting with the original [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] version of ''Super Mario Bros. 2'', they are given a distinctive evil grin, and subsequent remakes portray them as golden in color instead. Most of its appearances outside these games either draw from its original appearance, or else use the gold sprite from the remakes. | |||

Phantos appear as semi-common enemies in ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' and its subsequent remakes and ports, and are seen guarding keys in caves or in [[jar]]s. They first appear in [[World 1-2 (Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 1-2]]. Phantos simply remain immobile and harmless until the player takes the key they are guarding, at which point one of the Phantos will animate and ceaselessly chase them; some of the remakes make this Phanto slightly different in appearance from the others. Phantos can follow the player through other screens and rooms, even including [[Subspace]]; they cannot be permanently defeated, either—a Phanto can be temporarily defeated only with the combination of a [[Stop Watch]] and a [[Super Star|Starman]], but a new one will replace it as soon as the player enters another room while carrying the key. If the player drops the key while a Phanto is chasing them, it flies away and leave them alone until they pick up the key again; it will only give up the chase for good once the door is unlocked. | |||

In the SNES and [[Game Boy Advance|GBA]] versions of ''Super Mario Bros. 2'', larger Phantos can be seen in the backgrounds of the key rooms; the eyes of these larger Phantos will glow red repeatedly once the key is grabbed. In ''[[Super Mario Advance]]'', if the player drops or uses the key or loses a life, the Phanto appears to fly toward the camera as it leaves, via usage of an altered sprite that is twice as large as the original. In the GBA remake, [[Invincible Mario|invincibility]] alone is all that is needed to defeat one. | ||

A giant Phanto spawns according to the time in the game's built-in clock. The first appearance is in the second broadcast episode when the time is at :15. The second appearance is in the fourth broadcast episode at :07. It will chase the player even without keys involved but will not follow the player to other screens. It has difficulty tracking players that hang around the edge of wraparound screens. After one minute, it fades away. | ||

The sprite now glows in pink/light blue colors. Additionally, they are completely immune to [[Super Star]]s, [[Spiny Shell (red)|Spiny Shell]]s and [[Dry Bones Shell]]s. Only one Phanto can appear at a time, though multiple Cursed Keys can be held at once. Although, if another player has a key, another Phanto will appear. When entering a subarea or going through a [[Warp Door]] with a Phanto following the player, the Phanto will take a few seconds to suddenly appear in the new location. | ||

After [[Bowser|Koop Tut]] had trapped [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] and [[Toad]] inside a pyramid, the four heroes encounter the Phanto, which proceeded to chase them until they managed to escape from the pyramid. Another Phanto made a brief cameo appearance in "[[Escape from Koopatraz]]" as a member of [[Bowser|Judge Koopa]]'s jury. | ||
