Stone-Eye

Stone-Eyes are giant gray stone heads that debuted in New Super Mario Bros. U. They appear to be based off of the of, and have faces similar to those of Bomps.

New Super Mario Bros. U / New Super Luigi / New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe
In New Super Mario Bros. U, New Super Luigi U and New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe, they mostly inhabit desert-themed levels, and either move in numerous different patterns (e.g. swaying, up and down, to the left or right, etc.) or are completely stationary. Based on their movement patterns, they can assist and/or hinder players. A small Stone-Eye can be seen in the Records Toad House on Secret Island.

Some Stone-Eyes can be moved by Ground Pounding on top of them; this is often necessary to reach things such as Star Coins or paths to secret exits. They have their eyes fixed on the player when approached; if the player performs a Spin Jump, their eyes will roll around for a moment. There are also brown-colored, rectangular Stone-Eyes with their eyes closed that serve as stationary platforms. In New Super Luigi U's Spinning Sandstones, one of them resembles Luigi.

A Stone-Eye statue appears in the background of the house located at Secret Island.
