In ''Super Mario Odyssey'', Moe-Eyes are found in the [[Moe-Eye Habitat]], the Transparent Maze of the [[Sand Kingdom]], and the [[Underground Moon Caverns]] in the [[Moon Kingdom]]. They are shy creatures that try to run away from Mario when he approaches them. When [[capture]]d by [[Mario]], they gain [[Mario Cap|his cap]] and his mustache, and the player can put on or take off the sunglasses by pressing {{button|switch|Y}}. While the sunglasses are on, the player is able to see invisible platforms, [[Hidden Coin|invisible coins]], and [[Hidden Block]]s, 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 captured Moe-Eye can also be heard faintly humming the first few notes of the ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' [[Ground Theme (Super Mario Bros.)|Ground Theme]], the ''Super Mario Bros.'' [[Ending BGM]], the ''[[Super Mario World]]'' ending theme, the [[Gusty Garden Galaxy]] theme in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', or another unknown theme<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TIwqbLRfbSY&t=311s]</ref> while the sunglasses are on.

Despite being harmless, they will return with the same purple effect that signifies a respawning enemy after they fall into poison or [[lava]]. Additionally, NPCs appear to still be frightened by Moe-Eyes if Mario goes near the characters in question while capturing a Moe-Eye. This can be shown if Mario flies near their habitat as [[Glydon]], who will tell the Moe-Eyes to stay away if Mario captures one.<ref>SenderwalkTest. (November 28, 2020).
