Overview
Phanto is an enemy that first appeared in Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic for the Nintendo Famicom, and again when that game was converted into the US version of Super Mario Bros 2 for the NES. It appears as a two-tone mask which at first seems to be attached to a wall, but then pursues the player after they take the key that Phanto guards. Phanto is able to fly all over the level, chasing the player as long as he holds the key. Phantos are impossible to defeat; they will stop giving chase if the key is dropped, but come back quickly if the key is retrieved (which is usually essential for completing the level.)
