Moe-Eye

Moe-Eyes are a species from Super Mario Odyssey that can be controlled with Cappy. They are based on their namesake, the statue heads, and have a pair of feet, earrings and sunglasses, and a tuft of green hair.

Moe-Eyes are found in the Moe-Eye Habitat of the Sand Kingdom and the Underground Moon Caverns in the Moon Kingdom. They are shy creatures that try to run from Mario. When controlled by Mario, they gain his cap and his mustache, and the player can put on or take off the sunglasses by pressing. While the sunglasses are on, the player is able to see invisible platforms, invisible Coins and Hidden Blocks, though the Moe-Eye walks much slower than usual in this state. As Moe-Eyes are unable to jump, Mario has to use elevators to access higher platforms. The Moe-Eye can also be heard faintly humming the first few notes of the Super Mario Bros. theme, the Super Mario Bros. ending theme, the Super Mario World ending theme , or the theme for Gusty Garden Galaxy in Super Mario Galaxy, while wearing sunglasses.

Concept and creation
The design of the Moe-Eye used peculiar textures that would make them easily distinguishable from the ruins of Tostarena. Great care was poured into getting an appropriate appearance of the forehead, although this is typically not visible during the game.
