Talk:Phantamanta

What is the official source for this name? -- Son of Suns

The levels name is The Manta Storm, which could mean either that's its real name or there's just a lotta mantas. The offical guide from Nintendo doesn't give it a name, it just calls it manta or manta ray. - Yoshi Master

Phantamanta
Where you get this name? Paper Jorge

Actually yes it is. Manta Storm refers to the Manta Storming of the beach.

And Phantamanta is from...? - Yoshi Master

The scoreboard from Mario Tennis: Power Tour.

We have no PROOF that that is THIS manta. I think we should call it, Manta Storm.


 * Its a manta, its a phantom, need any more proof? I'll ask Nintendy. [[Image:Parayoshiicon.jpg|20px]] Para Yoshi Wahoo![[Image:Parayoshiicon.jpg|20px]] 20:45, 11 January 2007 (EST)


 * Its real Name is Manta Storm, according to MSS's guide.
 * MSS? Is that SMS? And which guide? [[Image:Parayoshiicon.jpg|20px]] Para Yoshi Wahoo![[Image:Parayoshiicon.jpg|20px]] 20:59, 11 January 2007 (EST)


 * SMS is super Mario Strikers, SMSS is super Mario sunshine, my way of conferring the two. and its Sunshine's NP guide.
 * I'll still ask and wait for a Nintendo respose, so don't revert. Names change, after all. Jumpman = Mario. Needlenose = Pokie. [[Image:Parayoshiicon.jpg|20px]] Para Yoshi Wahoo![[Image:Parayoshiicon.jpg|20px]] 21:03, 11 January 2007 (EST)

By the way, just because it is a phantom manta, it isn't a Phantamanta.


 * I still say it isn't Phantamanta.

Wait, is the only occurrence of it ever being called Phantamanta the Mario Tennis score board? Oh.... that is just funny.... - Yoshi Master

Shouldn't this name be changed since it was only called Phantamanta in one game? - Yoshi Master

Let's put up a conjuncture notice. TheGreatBlockyBoo 18:43, 22 June 2007 (EDT)

I think it should be moved back to Manta Storm. TheGreatBlockyBoo 22:50, 26 August 2007 (EDT)

Do you have proof that it's call Manta Storm. In the episode of Noki Bay 'The Boss of Tricky Ruins' Glooper Blooper returns but his name isn't 'The Boss'. So I think we shouldn't call it that just because of the episode's title I think it's phantamanta because; 1: the name belongs to no other Mario character and 2: Mario Tenis: Power Tour came out a bit after Super Mario Sunshine so they could have used it again. Oh and I agree that the name may have changed.

look at this
I found this http://www.eeggs.com/items/54030.html is this real?its pretty interesting

reference to The Shining
the battle pattern may be referencing the book "The Shining" near the end of the book the main characters spot a ghostly manta ray floating away from the hotel that splits in half over and over again until it dissapears entirely. mario fights phantamanta by splitting it over and over agian until it vanishes, just like in the book. should that be added? ~shrooba cola (talk)
