A '''Mr. I''' (also parsed as '''Mr. I.'''<ref>M. Arakawa. ''Super Mario 64'' Player's Guide. Page 12.</ref> or '''Mr I'''<ref>''Nintendo Magazine System'' (AU) Issue #54, page 60.</ref>), also known as a '''Spinning Eye'''<ref>(June 10, 1998).

"'''''Note''' For 5 Coins, the Eyeball will ”warp” you from one Eyeball Pedestal to another.''"</ref> is an enemy species in the ''[[Mario (franchise)|Mario]]'' franchise, debuting in ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. Its name is self-descriptive; Mr. I's seem to be nothing more than giant eyeballs. Additionally, Mr. I's are usually immobile and only rotate in place. A larger version, [[Big Mr. I.]], has also appeared as a boss.

In ''[[Mario Party 3]]'', a Mr. I. (referred as "Big Mr. I" in localization) is featured in the Battle minigame [[Eye Sore]]. The objective of the [[minigame]] is to run around the Mr. I. fifteen times until he finally disappears. As the characters run around the Mr. I., he will gradually shrink. Players should avoid bumping into the Mr. I. or one of the many [[Lava Bubble|Podoboo]]s that pop up, for they will stun the player for a few valuable seconds.

A Mr. I appears in ''[[Mario Party Advance]]'' as an NPC who lives in the [[Horror Area]] of [[Shroom City]]. He is in love with [[Princess Peach]] and his quest, [[Love That Princess!]], requires playing as Peach. As her, the player must go over to Mr. I's residence. When he sees Peach, Mr. I shows his love for her by giving her the [[Gaddget]], [[Hope Chest]]. He is also the crush of [[Flutter]]; he does not return the favor because he hardly knows her and is already in love with Peach, and he tells the player to tell her he is sorry. He is also one of the three suspects when the [[Koopa Bank]] is robbed. He states that he is not guilty, but he remembered hearing [[coin]]s jingle. The ending states that he is learning to wink for Peach.

Mr. I reappears in ''[[Mario Party Superstars]]'', retaining its design from ''Mario Party 8''. Just like in ''Mario Party 2'', it appears on [[Horror Land]] and will warp the player to the other side of the board. Mr. I's also run the losers out after a game on Horror Land has ended.
