The original Phase Distorter model, hijacked and promptly crashed by [[Pokey Minch]]. The wreckage of this model can be seen when [[Ness]] and his friends travel to the [[Cave of the Past]] in the Phase Distorter 2. If Ness checks the wreckage of this Phase Distorter, he can aquire a [[Horn of Life]].

The third Phase Distorter is made by [[Dr. Andonuts]] soon after the second one is used by Ness and his friends. This model allows the user to travel through time. It can take Ness and his friends to the [[Cave of the Past]] and [[Giygas]], but will destroy living creatures in the process. Because of this, Dr. Andonuts places the party's spirits into robots to allow them to survive the trip. This model retains the functions of the Phase Distorter 2, allowing Ness and his friends to heal themselves and save their game. It should be noted that saving one's game after making it to the Cave of the Past will result in an inability to access prior areas of the game, resulting in a file that is stuck after the point of no return. Players should be cautious about the choice to use the "Communicate" function to save their games.
