The Eyes of Phanto Are Upon You.
Playing Super Mario Bros 2 (Super Mario All-Stars).
Wasn't thrilled that they changed the actual color of Phanto...
(that creepy ghost face that guards the underground keys)
Was however pleasantly surprised with the evil, demonic Phanto emblem that glows on the wall (complete with flaming red eyes that light up when you grab the key).The "Phanto Shrine" is actually kinda cool.
As for the angry apparition himself, the colored side of his face appears to be golden brown in the 1993 version.

In the original 1988 version of the game, one side of Phanto's mask was a red-orange color. (A minor detail that only a Mario fanatic would notice...)
Couple of favorite quotes about this (nearly) forgotten foe:
"Phanto, the cause of much anxiety for children playing Super Mario Bros. 2 back in the day and a memorable enough part of the game that I’m surprised he didn’t end up recurring...
Aside from the cameo in Mario Kart 7... Phanto does not return to give players nightmares until Super Mario Maker 2, where Nintendo finally re-implemented the gameplay element of 'steal a cursed key, run like the devil is chasing you.'
In Japan, Phanto is Kamen, meaning 'mask.'"

"Phanto: The scariest videogame character of all time"
"Why does a seemingly silly 8-bit character from a very family-friendly game scare me more than horribly satanic demons, chainsaw-wielding psychopaths...?"
"Although the American version of Super Mario Bros. 2 is completely different than the original — it was famously modeled after Japanese game Doki Doki Panic"

Phanto has mystical powers that still haunt some players to this day...

Toad is definitely not a member of the Phanto Fan Club.
