Talk:Antasma

Gender??
GameXplain referred to Antasma as female. They should know this, since they played through the entire English demo. Since we only have its gender in Germany, and region/gender differences in the Mario series is not uncommon (see Birdo, Vivian, Petey Piranha), I changed it.

I asked them how they knew it was a "she" and got this reply: "I don't." They were just assuming in the video. Maybe you can still find the comment (If you find mine (fawfulthegreat64) that's what Gamexplain replied to. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zy8vXzplw-0 -- 19:24, 5 June 2013 (EDT)

Oh, so it was just an assumption. And since all signs point to Antasma being a dude...I guess we should keep it.

It's a bit hard to work out what gender Antasma is from it's appearance, it probably is just an it, but as it has recently been given the title of King it then must have a gender. Unless ONM are guessing again... - Cubeguy(talk)

On the Mario and Luigi Dream team site it states Antasma is a male and like Cookie said he is said to be a king :D Luigifan100 (talk) 20:02, 19 June 2013 (EDT)

Just got the game. Yup, he is a king. --Mlol (talk) 15:25, 27 July 2013 (EDT)

First ever King?
If Antasma is a king, doesn't that make him the first one in the M&L series? If so doesn't that count as trivia? Just asking. - Cubeguy(talk)


 * Personally, I'd wait for further information before having it as a trivia point.

 * I know that, im just asking in case, it is a king, so that way i don't add it and it gets deleted. - Cubeguy2ver.pnguy(talk)

"King" Bowser Koopa, the "King" of the Koopas. I think Bowser was the first King in the M&L series.


 * Other than Bowser i mean. Like he's the first King that's an actual threat. - Cubeguy2ver.pnguy(talk)
 * I don't think it matters, extremely dangerous or a joke, still a king. -- 21:23, 8 July 2013 (EDT)

Bowser would be the extremely dangerous king, because he is not a joke, he is an actual threat. --

Needing an image of Antasma outside the dream world...
'ello all. I have tried repeatedly to get an image on here from a Japanese trailer of Dream Team, but I have yet to have any luck with uploading it here. Does anyone with more image-embedding skills mind going to that site and getting the picture of Bowser being airlifted by Antasma outside of the Dreamworld? I think that image is rather important because (A), it shows Antasma is not confined to the Dreamworld, B) it is storyline important (this is probably the point where Antasma starts controlling Bowser), and (C) shows that Antasma has deceptively strong muscles...yes, C is a joke, but the other 2 points are perfectly valid! If this helps, here is the video:. The scene where Bowser is airlifted and/or possessed by Antasma is at about 4:12. Thank you.


 * Hello there. In order to use an image in an article, you must upload it. But this can only be done by Autoconfirmed users. I uploaded the image you required at File:MLDT - Antasma Airlifting Bowser Screenshot.png. Sorry about the quality, it's the best the trailer offered.

Thank you. Sorry about the slight terseness of the request...

Final Battle
Is there a video of the battle with Antasma?

Antasma is not the final boss, Dreamy Bowser is and this is Super Mario Wiki, not Youtube

History
Is that really all there is? Does the game just leave off at that? Or is there more to it that they just haven't added yet? (plz do as soon as possible) Ghostkaiba297 (talk) 20:49, 13 July 2013 (EDT)

Antasma X Health
Don't know if this needs listing but it's health iv estimated is somewhere between 10,000-15,000 HP. - Cubeguy(talk)


 * On a similar note, I'm rather curios how someone got a hold of Antasma's HP amount and other stats in the first place (unless, of course, it was estimated). --Zootalo (talk) 14:15, 28 July 2013 (EDT)


 * I estimating, i count up to 11,000 then lose track. - Cubeguy2ver.pnguy(talk)

Are all of Antasma X's stats higher? I've fought him in the Battle Ring in both normal and hard mode, and I swear his speed is at least DOUBLE what it's listed as in the article (Mario had to have about 190 speed to attack first). Someone needs to test whether his speed, defence, attack and other stats are all higher in the Battle Ring too. Also, whether his non attack stats are higher in hard mode, since I suspect they probably are...

 * It's usually the case with X bosses compared the their normal counterparts. I've also noticed that with the case of Partners in Time, the enemies' stats aren't exactly static and seem to actually go up as you reach higher levels... --Zootalo (talk) 13:53, 2 August 2013 (EDT)

Final Antasma Battle XP
7500 XP (9000 with Quick Level). Just throwing this out there. (I'm sure I only got 3100 from Antasma the first time... must have been a bug.) Samario (talk)

...Finally "killing" him?
Sorry, I'm not too sure about the choice of wording. Is "killing" really appropriate, especially in a Mario game? I would have said rather: "finally destroying him" or something close to it. Not to mention the idea- which is often debated- as to whether or not characters die...


 * Well kill is used in the sense of the death of a character, while destroyed is more towards an object such as the Grobot. You could replace it with died which would be better.

I completely agree, but the problem is that it isn't suited to the Mario universe, as I've never come across the word "kill" or "death" (and if so, not that often) when playing any Mario game. Anyway, I think it's fine the way it is now. I think "kill" should be restricted to first-person-shooter games, not really in this context.

I agree with Cubeguy, plus the game is rated E10+ not E2-.

Antasma backstory
http://www.pixiv.net/member_illust.php?mode=manga&illust_id=38067179


 * ummmmmmmmmmmmmm why? what do you want us to do? this isn't official game artwork and antasma always has that smile. So, yeah, why are you showing us this exactly. - Cubeguy2ver.pnguy(talk)

Sorry, meant better backstory.


 * Oh, well fan-made stuff is not included in the wiki articles, sorry. Unless it came from the game itself or the developers it won't be included. - Cubeguy2ver.pnguy(talk)

Cackletta mispelling
FYI, Cackletta has been misspelled "Cakletta" in the section referring to Antasma's abilities. We wouldn't want to imitate the same mistake that Fawful made in Superstar Saga, now, would we? Cheers.

Gone Already?
This is weird just like the older games in the series the new Antagonists introduced are already dead now.
