Pansers are enemies commonly found in Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic and Super Mario Bros. 2. Their name is a portmanteau of "pansy," which is a type of flower, and "Panzer," the German word for "tank," perhaps in reference to a Panser's ability to throw fireballs. Along with Pokeys, Pansers are the only known hostile plant species in Subcon, although Pansers were created by Wart.[1] There are three types of Pansers: red, pink, and either green or gray depending on the location. 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 reissues) 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 Fiery Walking Piranha from Super Mario Bros. 3, Pompon Flower from Super Mario Land, Furafurawā from the Game Boy version of 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 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 Phantos and Cobrats.
In Super Mario-kun, a singular Panser appears in 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.
