'''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}}''.

In ''Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic'', the Phanto's expression and color scheme most resembles its original artwork; starting with ''Super Mario Bros. 2'', they are given a distinctive evil grin, and subsequent remakes redesign them to be brownish yellow and tinted a lighter yellow instead of red and white respectively, as well as depict them without a visible nose.

Phantos appear as semi-common enemies in ''Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic'', ''Super Mario Bros. 2'', and subsequent [[reissue]]s. They 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&mdash;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 leaves them alone until they pick up the key again; it will only give up the chase for good once the door is unlocked.

A number of immobile and harmless Phantos can be seen in [[Wart]]'s room.
A number of immobile and harmless Phantos can be seen in [[Wart]]'s room. In remakes, 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 [[Super Mario Advance|Game Boy Advance remake]], [[Invincible Mario|invincibility]] can defeat a Phanto.
 
In ''Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic'', the Phanto sprite's expression and color scheme most resemble its original artwork (which its artwork for all iterations of ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' would also be based on); starting with ''Super Mario Bros. 2'', its sprite is given a distinctive evil grin, and subsequent remakes redesign it to be brownish yellow and tinted a lighter yellow instead of red and white respectively, as well as depict it without a visible nose. Additionally, in remakes, large structures resembling 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 the [[Super Mario Advance|Game Boy Advance remake]], 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. Furthermore, Phantos can be defeated in said version from an [[Invincible Mario|invincible]] character.


A photo officially posted by Nintendo of America on Facebook references Phanto's behavior of chasing the player character with the key, dramatized to the point of it demanding that that they do not touch the key.<ref name=Facebook>{{cite|url=www.facebook.com/Nintendo/photos/a.120520318032430/723672304383892|publisher=Facebook|title=“Find something to unlock that door!” he said. “What could possibly go wrong?” he said. #NintendoHalloween|author=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|accessdate=June 26, 2024 ({{file link|Phanto Nintendo Halloween 2014 graphic.jpg|image}})|archive=archive.today/2021.10.25-233638/https://www.facebook.com/Nintendo/photos/723672304383892}}</ref>

In ''[[BS Super Mario USA]]'', Phantos can be defeated by large objects that are thrown from off-screen like [[Princess Peach|Peach]]'s [[Love-Love Fire]] even when they are inactive. A big 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.
