Antasma, also known as Akkumu (アックーム) in the Japanese version, is one of the two main antagonists (alongside Bowser) of the 2013 Nintendo 3DS game Mario & Luigi: Dream Team. He is the sadistic bat king who allied with Bowser in the game and is also the archenemy of Prince Dreambert.
His Evil Ranking[]
What Makes Him Close to Being Pure Evil?[]
- He stole the Dark Stone and planned to use it to rule the world and cause mass terror.
- When he was defeated, he shattered the Dark Stone, causing its chunks to rain down everywhere on the island, turning all of the Pi'illos that they touched into stone and causing their civilization to vanish, while also putting the Pi'illos in a fate worse than death.
- Even if it was ultimately undone later on in the game, this deed made him the most personal enemy to Dreambert and the rest of the Pi'illo race as well.
- He attacked Luigi and his friends in his dream for no apparent reason other than to cause him pain.
- He kidnapped Peach and planned to use her powers for his own evil plans, sealing them both in the deepest reaches of the Dream World.
- When he later came across Bowser, he tried to steal his energy, but then convinced him to join forces with him.
- Being betrayed by Bowser who had been using him all along does not make him a scapegoat, as by the former’s speculation, Antasma was just using him for his own ends and never truly cared for him, which, along with his own self-serving ways, is why the Koopa King betrayed him in the end; he mutually implies he was planning to take over the world for himself rather than share power with Bowser, meaning he was planning to betray him as well in the long run.
- Alongside Bowser, he took the Dream Stone and used the Dreambeats to put everyone on Pi'illo Island to sleep, for the purpose of reviving the Dream Stone.
- After they revived the Dream Stone, they used it to create a castle, before using the castle's laser cannon to destroy three islands, making everyone on Pi'illo Island panic.
- After Bowser betrayed him, he planned on taking revenge on him afterwards once he killed Dreambert.
- After defeating Prince Dreambert, he attempted to murder Mario and Luigi.
- He has no redeeming qualities and is taken completely seriously.
- Despite having powers akin to a demon, it is revealed that he was a bat who fed on nightmares and eventually became what he was now, also being subtly hinted by him occasionally screeching like a bat, meaning he doesn't suffer moral agency issues.
What Prevents Him from Being Pure Evil?[]
- He fails the Heinous Standard to Princess Shroob and Elder Princess Shroob, who both put the Toads in fates worse than deaths by draining their life force, which is played as more torturous and is shown would eventually kill them, and their invasion also turning the Mushroom Kingdom into a wasteland.
