-Many thousands of years ago, Antasma was once a normal Bat on [[Pi'illo Island]]. He somehow fed off a [[Pi'illo]]'s nightmare which drove him to become the Bat King<ref>[http://www.nintendo.co.uk/Games/Nintendo-3DS/Mario-Luigi-Dream-Team-Bros--762456.html]</ref> who stole the [[Dark Stone]] in order to full fill his chaotic dreams.
+Many thousands of years ago, Antasma was once a normal Bat on [[Pi'illo Island]]. At some point, however, he managed to feed off of a [[Pi'illo]]'s nightmare, turning him into the Bat King<ref>[http://www.nintendo.co.uk/Games/Nintendo-3DS/Mario-Luigi-Dream-Team-Bros--762456.html]</ref>. The Pi'illo, which were not taking their duty to guard the [[Dream Stone]] and the [[Dark Stone]] seriously enough, were thus caught off guard when Antasma suddenly stole the latter in order to fulfill his twisted dreams.
-After the [[Pi'illo]]s, along with the [[Zeekeeper]], managed to imprison him into the [[Dream World]] he shattered the Dark Stone at the last moment causing the chunks to rain down all over the island. The shards of the Dark Stone turned all the Pi'illo they touched into stone <ref name="Angespielt: Mario & Luigi - Dream Team Bros.

[[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] are tasked with rescuing the Pi'illows which Antasma froze, as well as Peach (who he  abducts early in the game).<ref name="NWR">[http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/impressions/33932]</ref>

-Antasma first appears, albeit silent, much bigger, and not referred to as such, on the blimp ride to [[Pi'illo Island]] during a nightmare dreamt by [[Luigi]]. He replaces Bowser from previous games as the tutorial boss, and like ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time|Partners in Time]]'' and ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story|Bowser's Inside Story]]'', [[Toadsworth]] is there to assist Mario. His only attack is to transform into a swarm of bats, which fly at Mario, but doesn't cause any damage. As such, like Bowser, he will be defeated in a few turns.
+Antasma (referred to as ???? in-game) first appears on the blimp ride to [[Pi'illo Island]] during a nightmare dreamt by [[Luigi]]. He initially appears as his pillow form and after swatting almost everyone off the blimp transforms into his battle form and attacks Mario, thus replacing Bowser from previous games as the tutorial boss. His only attack is to transform into a swarm of bats, which fly at Mario, but doesn't cause any damage. Unsurprisingly, the bat king goes down quickly, but upon defeat Antasma rams into the blimp, piercing its hull and causing the blimp to plummet towards Pi'illo island; this causes Luigi to wake up and panic, knocking himself out in the process.
-The game cuts to Luigi running in panic, and ends up making himself faint. But Antasma was in fact an actual being.
+Although it is implied that Antasma was the one who manipulated [[Broque Monsieur]] into sending monsters against Mario shortly after he arrived on the island, the bat king is not definitely seen again until after [[Prince Dreambert]]'s pillow is found and Luigi sleeps on it, opening a portal to the [[Dream World]]. From the portal, Antasma calls out to [[Princess Peach]], and proceeds to suck her in when she approaches the portal. Mario loyally gives chase, but Antasma distracts him with [[Dreamy Mario|a dream counterpart of him]] and blows a hole to [[Dream's Deep]], which he promptly departs to. However, Mario manages to save Prince Dreambert, who later explains to Mario what had transpired the last time Antasma had tried to conquer the world and expresses slight worry at the idea that Antasma was Peach's kidnapper.

He calls out to [[Princess Peach]] in an effort for her to approach the portal, and proceeds to suck her in. Mario loyally gives chase, but Antasma distracts him with [[Dreamy Mario|a dream counterpart of him]] and makes a beeline for [[Dream's Deep]]. However, Mario manages to save Prince Dreambert, who explains how Antasma shattered the [[Dark Stone]], an ancient power of Pi'illo Island, and managed to turn the Pi'illo people to stone.
+With the help of [[Eldream]] and his pet, [[Dreambunny]], Mario manages to reach Dream's Deep, which is actually filled with Luigi's greatest nightmare--Mario leaving him behind. It doesn't take long for Mario, [[Dreamy Luigi]], and a shocked Prince Dreambert to reach Antasma; before Antasma can react, however, Bowser appears and gives him a solid punch. Antasma retaliates by leeching Bowser's face and screeching loudly, KOing everyone except Bowser, Dreambert, and himself, and then speaks for the first time in the game. He reveals that he had kidnapped Peach in hopes of using her power to escape the dream world and conquer the real one, but that the appearence of Bowser - who, unlike Peach, is both strong and evil - caused him to change his plans, and he suggests that they work together. Bowser initially disagrees to this and insults the bat king, but Antasma ultimately convinces Bowser to form an alliance on the basis of giving him greater powers. Antasma then possesses Bowser, and the two villains manage to defeat the Mario brothers before leaving the dream world.
-With the help of [[Eldream]] and his pet, [[Dreambunny]], Mario manages to reach Dream's Deep, which is actually filled with his greatest nightmare--Mario leaving him behind. However, Bowser, enraged that someone else besides him had kidnapped Peach, also ends up there. When Mario, [[Dreamy Luigi]], and Prince Dreambert reach Antasma, Bowser swats him in rage. He then leeches Bowser's face, when he is first seen speaking. He says that he kidnapped Peach in hopes of using her power to take over the real world, but it would be more useful to use that of an evil creature, offering for them to team up. Bowser disagrees, taunting his accent. But when he makes a deal with Bowser, that after they take over the world, he can keep Peach all to himself, and using his powers, they can defeat the Mario Bros., he reluctantly agrees. Antasma then possesses Bowser, and the two fight Mario and Dreamy Luigi and barely win. Antasma says it'd be best if they go and take over the real world first, then kidnap Peach.
+Later, after Eldream and Dreambunny escort the Bros. and the princess out of the Dream World, Prince Dreambert and [[Starlow]] reveal that Antasma has escaped the dream world, formed an alliance with Bowser, and explains the same story he told earlier to Peach, with Eldream adding that the evil duo were probably going to go after the Dreamstone next.Mario and Luigi hurry off to [[Dozing Sands]] to recover the gem before Antasma can steal it, but arrive too late - Antasma and Bowser were already at the Dream Stone pedestal, and gloat over having already grabbed the Dream Stone. After the Dream Stone's Soul informs Luigi that it had been taken to Mount [[Pajamaja]], the brothers sign up for a tour to the mountain's summit and ultimately find Antasma - now accompanied not only by Bowser, but also by [[Kamek]] and the [[Elite Trio]] - at the top. To channel the Dream Stone's power, [[Private Goomp]] turns on a set of speakers that begin to play the [[Dreambeats]], which promptly puts everyone on the island to sleep except for Antasma, [[Starlow]], [[Prince Dreambert]] (all three seemingly immune to the noise), Bowser (due to covering his ears) and Mario (who has to actively resist the lullaby). Luigi, who did not manage to resist the noise, falls asleep and rolls to a nearby dream point, which Mario enters in order to escape the noise.
-Eldream and Dreambunny escort the Bros. and the princess out of the Dream World, and think they've won, but then Prince Dreambert and [[Starlow]] reveal that Antasma is still on the loose, along with Bowser, and explains the same story he told earlier to Peach. Now Mario and Luigi must find the [[Dream Stone]], the only thing that can counteract the Dark Stone.
+After the dreamstone is finally charged and the bros. have exited the dream world, Antasma and Bowser once again confront the heroes near the dream point and gloat over their now usable dream stone. While the bros. scurry off the protect Peach, who would surely be Bowser's first target, Antasma and his new allies begin discussing what to wish on the dream stone in order to conquer the world. Antasma suggests that they wish for a castle; when this wish recieves the unanimous approval of all present, Antasma makes his first wish on the dream stone, bringing [[Neo Bowser Castle]] into being. Antasma then takes the castle for a 'test-drive', blowing up several islands near Pi'illo island with a large laser cannon situated on the bottom of the castle: this event sends everyone on the island into a panic.
-Unfortunately, when they find the Dream Stone pedestal, it's empty. Antasma (along with Bowser) reveal they have already taken the Dream Stone. Mario and Luigi give chase to [[Mount Pajamaja]].
+Although he is mentioned repeatedly after the creation of Neo Bowser Castle, Antasma only appears again once the bros. are actually inside the castle. He first appears shortly after Kamek scrambles the castle's doors, ripping open a portal to the dreamworld so as to allow Kamek to escape the brothers. Later, Antasma manages to convince Bowser to fall asleep on him so as to use his powerful dreams to power the castle. When the bros. finally reach the duo, Bowser's dreams are providing such great power that Bowser himself is invulnerable, and the bros. wind up entering Bowser's dream in an attempt to wake him up and weaken Antasma.
-To channel the Dream Stone's power, [[Private Goomp]] turns on some speakers that play the [[Dreambeats]], the sound of them knocking out every person on the island, except Antasma, [[Starlow]], [[Prince Dreambert]] (all three due to being immune), Bowser (due to covering his ears) and Mario to some extent. Mario, Starlow, and Prince Dreambert, who have managed to resist the snooze-inducing noise, quickly re-enter the [[Dream World]] to try and resolve this predicament. After finding them, Antasma transforms into his normal form and makes a wish on the Dream Stone, to have a powerful castle.
+After [[Giant Bowser]] is defeated, Antasma and Bowser flee to the next floor, where Bowser reveals that he had been using Antasma all along. Declaring the castle and the dreamstone to be solely his, Bowser warps to the top floor using his omni-potent artifact, leaving a frustrated Antasma to swear revenge and challenge Dreambert to a duel. After a duel in the real world proves indecisive, Antasma rips open another portal to the dream world and flees inside it while warning Dreambert that he has grown stronger: Dreambert follows and is soundly defeated. In honor of his ally, Mario leaps into Antasma's dreamworld and confronts the bat king himself; with the assistance of Dreamy Luigi and Dreambert, Mario ultimately vanquishes Antasma. When Mario leaves Antasma's dreamworld, Antasma follows a few seconds later, inflates like a balloon, and explodes, ending his schemes for good.
-It is revealed in [[Somnom Woods]] by a [[Pi'illo Master]] that Antasma was originally just a bat that somehow fed off the nightmare of a Pi'illo causing him to become the Bat King.
-After [[Giant Bowser]] is defeated, Bowser betrays Antasma, saying that he is an idiot and that he, Bowser, does not work well with other people, and was playing the fool to take it all. Prince Dreambert and Antasma then duel. It is then revealed that Antasma made a wish to make dream portals by his own will, and defeats Prince Dreambert. Mario goes back into the Dream World, fights Antasma and successfully defeats him. When Mario exits the Dream World, Antasma follows him out, and then inflates and explodes, never to be seen again.
