'''Knucklotec''' is the second boss of the [[Sand Kingdom]] in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]''. He is based off of the real-world {{wp|Olmec}} heads, and has several similarities to [[Eyerok]] from ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', due to both being ancient stone guardians found underground in deserts, having giant floating hands, and speaking in broken grammar.

He is based on the real-world {{wp|Olmec colossal heads}}, and has several similarities to the [[Eyerok]] from ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', due to both being ancient stone guardians found underground in desert areas, having giant floating hands, and speaking in broken grammar.


He can be found in the desert, with the top part of his sticking out from the ground.
Knucklotec can be first found in the desert, with the top part of his head sticking out from the ground and his [[Multi Moon]] plainly visible. Mario can walk on top of him in this state and [[Ground Pound]] him, where he will twitch and sometimes make a growling sound.  


He is encountered when Mario enters the sand flow directly beneath the Inverted Pyramid. When he appears, he is distraught over the loss of the kingdom's Wedding Ring, and presumes Mario to have stolen it. Along with Bowser's icy water attack, he is the cause of the ice in the [[Sand Kingdom]], and when he is defeated all the ice melts away.
He is encountered when Mario enters the sand flow to the [[Underground Temple]] directly beneath the [[Inverted Pyramid]]. When he appears, he is distraught over the disappearance of the kingdom's [[Binding Band]], and starts attacking Mario after erroneously assuming the latter to have stolen it, not realizing [[Bowser]] did beforehand.


In battle, Knucklotec slams his fists into the ground; as he does so, he briefly writhes in pain. Mario must then [[capture]] one of the fists and use it to knock out Knucklotec while avoiding the {{wp|facet|faceted}} ice crystals he fires from his other fist. After hit the first time, he will slide his fists across the battlefield once; the fists travel parallel to each other. He will then slam his arms, causing faceted ice crystals to burrow partially into the ground from above. Mario must then repeat the process once more. During the third phase, his fist-slide attack is slightly faster, and he has an additional attack where his arms lock onto Mario before clapping together multiple times. After defeated, Knucklotec will explode, releasing the Sand Kingdom's second [[Multi Moon]].<ref>[https://youtu.be/cHg5S_aZEdY]</ref>
He is the cause of the ice in the [[Sand Kingdom]], and when he is defeated, all the ice melts away. Defeating him also creates a smaller sand flow where his head stuck out on the desert surface, leading straight down into the arena where he was fought which then becomes inhabited with [[Chincho]]s, a lone [[Coin Coffer]], and a [[Power Moon]].


In the rematch battle in [[Peach's Castle]], Knucklotec's fist-sliding attack may create [[Chincho]]s. He also creates a horde of Chinchos at the start of the battle.<ref>[https://youtu.be/zUUhB1OAX7I?t=3231]</ref>
In battle, Knucklotec slams his fists into the ground; if one of his fists hits a sheet of ice on the ground, he briefly writhes in pain. Mario must then [[capture]] one of the fists and use it to punch Knucklotec in the face while avoiding the ice shards he fires from his other fist. After being hit once, he will slide his fists across the battlefield one time; the fists travel parallel to each other. He will then slam his hands on the ground, causing icicles to fall down and bury halfway onto the ground. Mario must then repeat the process once more. During the third phase, his fist-slide attack is slightly faster, and he has an additional attack where his hands lock onto Mario before clapping together multiple times. After being defeated, Knucklotec will explode, releasing the Sand Kingdom's second Multi Moon.
 
In the rematch against him in [[Peach's Castle]], many of Knucklotec's attacks create hordes of Chinchos, which also appear when the ice crystals fall after a hit is scored on the boss.
