The ''' | The '''manta''', also referred to as the '''ray''', is an aquatic species found in various [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'']] games. Mantas are peaceful creatures, much like real {{wp|manta ray}}s. Some leave trails of regenerative [[bubble ring|ring]]s behind them as they swim, and others can be used to surf above channels of water. | ||

The Manta Ray will leave a trail of [[bubble ring]]s as it swims around the whirlpool. If [[Mario]], [[Yoshi]], [[Luigi]], or [[Wario]] can [[swim]] through five rings in a row, he will be rewarded with a Power Star; this is the focus of the mission [[The Manta Ray's Reward]]. Moreover, he can swim through a ring to regain lost oxygen. However, if the player character misses a ring, he has to start the five-ring sequence all over. If he swims through a ring correctly, a red number will appear. When the player character accomplishes the five-ring task, the Star will appear at the top of the whirlpool. The player character should also keep distance from the Manta Ray's tail, as it can deal damage. | ||

A [[Phantamanta|spectral Manta]] appears as a boss in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', appearing at [[Sirena Beach]]. It is flat and moves along the ground and other surfaces as though it is a light projected from the sky, constantly leaving a trail of electric [[goop]] behind it. Spraying it with [[F.L.U.D.D.|FLUDD]] causes it to split into progressively smaller forms. | |||
