Eyerok first appears in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' as a boss. His name could be either a portmanteau of "eye" and "rock" or a pun on the phrase "I rock."

==History==
===''Super Mario 64'' / ''Super Mario 64 DS''===
Eyerok is the boss of [[Shifting Sand Land]], and he resides in a chamber in the center of the pyramid. His room is a platform with a [[pit]] on three sides and is contained in a large red block. Eyerok guards the [[Power Star]] of the mission [[Stand Tall on the Four Pillars]]. During the battle, Eyerok attacks by either slamming his fists or trying to push [[Mario]] off the platform. Each fist acts separate from the other, and only one fist at a time exposes an eyeball. If Mario is hit, he loses three wedges from his [[Health Meter#Super Mario 64 / Super Mario 64 DS|Power Meter]]. Mario can attack Eyerok by either [[punch]]ing, [[kick]]ing, or [[dive|diving]] into the eyeball on either palm. If an eye on one of Eyerok's palms is closed, Mario cannot attack that fist. Hitting the eyeball of either hand three times destroys it, and if both eyeballs are hit three times, Eyerok is defeated.


'''Eyerok''' is a golem-like entity in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' that guards a [[Power Star]] in ''[[Shifting Sand Land]]''. He resides in the central pyramid and is composed of two massive, stone hands with eyeballs in the palms. His chamber is a platform with a pit on three sides, which is inside a large red brick block in the pyramid. He slams down his fists which take away half your life each hit, and tries to push you off the platform. The player must punch his eyes (when open) a few times to defeat him, though the player needs to destroy each hand.
[[File:Eyerok64DS.png|thumb|left|Mario fighting Eyerok in ''Super Mario 64 DS'']]
In ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', Eyerok acts the same as in the original game. He can be fought by any of the four player characters. [[Yoshi]] can reach Eyerok only by using a [[cap]], as he cannot break the [[Block (Super Mario 64)|Brick]] obstructing the entrance to Eyerok's chamber alone. If Yoshi is fighting Eyerok, he can attack by [[Slide Kick|slide-kicking]] or [[Ground Pound|ground-pounding]] into the eyes or by eating a flame from one of the small pillars and then [[Fire Power (Yoshi)|breathing it]] into either of Eyerok's open eyes. If [[Wario]] is fighting and attacks Eyerok with a punch, he needs to hit each eyeball only twice because of his strength.


It is a possibility that Eyerok didn't have the star, but a unknown creature or spirit inside the coffin at the front of the chamber, since the star is seen coming out of the coffin. It's a possibility also that if a spirit or creature of some sort was in the coffin, it was controlling ''[[Eyerok]]''. Eyerok might also be the creatures eyes and hands.
===''Mario Kart DS''===
In ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', Eyerok is the second boss of [[Mario Kart DS#Missions|Mission Mode]]. He appears in the [[List of boss arenas in Mario Kart DS#Sand Arena|Sand Arena]] and is battled by Mario. There are three [[Item Box]]es here that contain [[Green Shell]]s. Eyerok moves up and down, trying to dodge these shells. After being hit one time, he jumps around while making fists. Then, he opens his fists, exposing his eyes. After being hit a second time, he stomps around again and moves up and down more frequently. After being hit a third time, Eyerok is defeated. Hitting either eye three times defeats him, regardless of which side was hit each time.


Eyerok also appears in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', as the second boss in Mission Mode. [[Mario]] needs to shoot three green shells at any eye to defeat Eyerok.
===''Super Mario-kun''===
[[File:EyerokSuperMarioKun.png|thumb|The appearance of Eyerok in ''Super Mario-kun'']]
Eyerok appears in one of the ''[[Super Mario-kun]]'' comics. He appears on the cover of the sixteenth issue, which is based on ''Super Mario 64''. As such, his role throughout the comic mimics his role in the game. Though more ''Super Mario 64'' issues exist, Eyerok appears in only one. Mario attempts to attack him, even by farting on him, but Eyerok just pokes or smacks him with both hands. After finding out that the eyes are the weak points, Mario takes measures to make them open their eyes and then defeats them.

—Eyerok, Super Mario 64

Eyerok, also known as the Hands[1] or Stone Hands,[2] is a pair of two large stone hands with an eyeball on each palm, making him a golem-like entity. Eyerok first appears in Super Mario 64 as a boss. His name could be either a portmanteau of "eye" and "rock" or a pun on the phrase "I rock."

History[edit]

Super Mario 64 / Super Mario 64 DS[edit]

Eyerok is the boss of Shifting Sand Land, and he resides in a chamber in the center of the pyramid. His room is a platform with a pit on three sides and is contained in a large red block. Eyerok guards the Power Star of the mission Stand Tall on the Four Pillars. During the battle, Eyerok attacks by either slamming his fists or trying to push Mario off the platform. Each fist acts separate from the other, and only one fist at a time exposes an eyeball. If Mario is hit, he loses three wedges from his Power Meter. Mario can attack Eyerok by either punching, kicking, or diving into the eyeball on either palm. If an eye on one of Eyerok's palms is closed, Mario cannot attack that fist. Hitting the eyeball of either hand three times destroys it, and if both eyeballs are hit three times, Eyerok is defeated.

In Super Mario 64 DS, Eyerok acts the same as in the original game. He can be fought by any of the four player characters. Yoshi can reach Eyerok only by using a cap, as he cannot break the Brick obstructing the entrance to Eyerok's chamber alone. If Yoshi is fighting Eyerok, he can attack by slide-kicking or ground-pounding into the eyes or by eating a flame from one of the small pillars and then breathing it into either of Eyerok's open eyes. If Wario is fighting and attacks Eyerok with a punch, he needs to hit each eyeball only twice because of his strength.

Mario Kart DS[edit]

In Mario Kart DS, Eyerok is the second boss of Mission Mode. He appears in the Sand Arena and is battled by Mario. There are three Item Boxes here that contain Green Shells. Eyerok moves up and down, trying to dodge these shells. After being hit one time, he jumps around while making fists. Then, he opens his fists, exposing his eyes. After being hit a second time, he stomps around again and moves up and down more frequently. After being hit a third time, Eyerok is defeated. Hitting either eye three times defeats him, regardless of which side was hit each time.
