- Eyerok



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 three points of he/she life each hit, and tries to push the player 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.

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.

Trivia

 * Eyerok can also be split into two words Eye and rock, which is how Nintendo created the name. Also there is the pun "I rock" in its name.
 * Eyerok is the only Super Mario 64 boss that isn't a large variation of a generic enemy.
