Background

Antasma (Japanese: アックーム, Akkumu) is one of the main antagonists in Mario & Luigi: Dream Team.

Many years ago, he was once a normal bat living on Pi'illo Island. He was feeding on the nightmares of the Pi'illo race which eventually turned him into a living infestation of nightmare itself. Seeking domination, he stole the Dark Stone, stone made of pure nightmares and the dark equivalent of the Dream Stone, and waged a war against the Pi'illo Kingdom. The Pi'illos, along with the Zeekeeper, fought Antasma to stop his wishes from coming true and managed to imprison him into the Dream World; however, just before his seal was complete, Antasma shattered the Dark Stone, causing the chunks to rain down all over the island. The shards of the Dark Stone turned all the Pi'illo into stone, causing the demise of the Pi'illo civilization.

Powers and Techniques

Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Longevity (Has existed for thousands of years), Self-Sustenance (Types 1 and 2; Mario characters can breathe in space and water. Has likely not eaten anything for thousands of years as he was stuck within the dream world), Flight (Has wings to fly with), Teleportation (Seen here), Portal Manipulation & Dimensional Travel (Can create portals to the dream world), Plant Manipulation & Absorption (Antasma can create vines that absorb dream energy to make him more powerful), Transformation (Can transform into a bat or pillow), Paint Manipulation which includes: Non-Standard Interaction (Abstract Interaction; Paint makes up everything, with characters in Mario can remove paint from anyone with any attack. Paint is all of life, and removal of it can cause a person or object to have no life within, having their concept of life be removed. Metaphysical interaction; Paint makes up the mind, as paint beings can directly speak to your mind by coloring your thoughts. Loss of paint can also remove your mind and memories. Paint makes up souls and ghosts. Removing it is the equivalent of destroying your soul. Paint makes up all emotions. Removing it would mean the removal of emotion. Spatial Interaction (3-D); Paint makes up all of space. Removing it makes space as if it was solid), Blood Manipulation (Paint makes up all of blood within someone, removing it is the same as removing their blood), Nullification (Power Nullification; Paint makes up the ability to use powers. Removing it would mean the removal of using powers).


Resistance to Paint Manipulation, Sleep Manipulation (Unaffected by the Dreambeats putting everyone in Pi'illo Island to sleep)


Equipment

None.


Optional Equipment

Nightmare Stone


Other

Standard Tactics: Antasma would generally force people within the Dream World, making him more powerful and using his various abilities. With the Nightmare Stone, he'd use it to grant wishes.

Weaknesses: His Antasmunchies can be broken and so can the Nightmare Stone.

Battle Records

  1. "If you're familiar with things like Popeye and some of the old comic characters, you would oftentimes see this cast of characters that takes on different roles depending on the comic or cartoon," Miyamoto said. "They might be businessman in one [cartoon] or a pirate in another. Depending on the story that was being told, they would change roles. So, to a certain degree, I look at our characters in a similar way and feel that they can take on different roles in different games."
