dark star theories

I had the same theory that he was a fallen star sprite too, idk make a lot of sense.

There is also this which perplex me:



The Dark Star had a humanoid form ?

Yes but doesn't it look like Antasma's arms and hands a bit ? (granted Tas could have gotten them as a part of his red herring design)

Mmm, i'll probably bump this thread about what i've found.

Apparently a few peoples on youtube pointed that Antasma's battle theme bears a few ressemblences to In the Final, the final boss theme of BiS...

Idk if true (i can't personally discern it) but remember that Shinomura did sneak a bit of Cackletta's theme in Fawfu's castle (as a nod to Fawful being connected to her), so if there is indeed some bits of "In the Final", then it could hint a connection between Antasma and the Dark Star...

Idk what Tas would have to do with the Dark Star, aside from the fact that they are the only two M&L villains which are confirmed to come from ancient times (so maybe they existed around the same era ?)

Well another thing i can think of is that both are the only villains capable of stealing the power of others (The dark star stole Bowser's power & Tas tried to steal Peach's power and is hinted he might have stole the ability to turn into a pillow from a Pi'illo).

Make you wonder if his current appareance is because he stole various powers across the world ?

And the Dark Star gain ability by eating DNA, Antasma gained his powers by eating nightmares.

But it do basically explain why he look like most of M&L antagonists beyond the red herring idea.

And maybe it kinda open the possibility that when you "killed" him, you basically just reverted him back to his original form prior he ate all those powers and got his forms, thus next game you'll face the original antasma prior he gained all his powers and forms.

Well I don't think DS and Antasma are connnected and the dark demon form in the picture (the sepia-tainted one with peach's castle) is probably just the legend. Like, people draw God and Satan in all kinds of ways and no one knows what they really look like either. Also, I think Dark Bowser is just what DS preferred to have as his form. he could easily have become Dark Mario, Dark Luigi, Dark Peach, heck, even a dark Goomba or Koopa Troopa if he wished. It all depends on who's DNA he copied and he kinda preferred Bowser due to his sheer strength and (I presume) willpower. :-)

I'm not sure if I remember well, but in that cutscene where DS entered Bowser's body, Bowser didn't inhale him afaik. Bowser was laughing and cackling mad after knocking Fawful away and while he was distracted DS entered his body, then he felt the chest pain. So personally I think it was primarily about Bowser's form being unstoppable.

It would be cool if they tied games together, but I do not think so .

It would be cool to see Antasma and Dark Star team up.
