Panser

The Panser is an enemy in Super Mario Advance and Super Mario Bros 2. It looks like a plant that opens up and shoots fireballs. There are three different types of Pansers. The red Panser is stationary and shoots fireballs in Mario's, Peach's, Toad's or Luigi's direction. The green Panser is also stationary and shoots fireballs upwards. The worst of all, the blue (pink in Super Mario Bros. 2) Panser chases Mario, Toad, Luigi, or Peach (whichever you are playing as) while shooting fireballs, Pansers are quite annoying enemies. They can be defeated by a Starman effect, thrown vegetable, or POW Block effect.
