The Pig King Statue
The Pig King Statue is a boss in the game Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Although Sakurai lists it as a boss, it is not actually counted as a boss. In the Subspace Emissary, Lucas is visiting The Ruined Zoo, but after he sees the Pig King Statue, he runs away. Lucas must travel through the zoo avoiding the Pig King Statue with the help of the player. However, soon, he trips over, and just when he thinks it's over, Ness comes and uses his PK Thunder and PK Flash to destroy the large statue. But once destroyed, it turns into Porky, an actual boss that is fought.

In the game Mother 3 porky imprisons himself in a capsule that proffesor Andonauts craetes. The capsule provides eternal safety but there`s a catch: you can never leave it. Once the pig king statue is destroyed Porky emerges from it, this might represent porky being freed from the capsule due to the fact he was in his spider mecha when he traped himself in it.
Aside from the Subspace Emissary, the Pig King Statue also receives a trophy and gets to be in the background of the New Pork City stage.
Trophy Information from Super Smash Bros. Brawl
| Name | Image | Game | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Porky Statue | File:Porky Statue Trophy.jpg | GBA Mother 3 Japan only |
A guardian statue standing inside New Pork City that's clearly based on Porky himself. Investigate it, and the statue will turn hostile and start a battle. And it has 100,000,000 HP! It has very high stats, so you'll never win if you attack it straight-on. Thankfully, there's an item called "New Year's Eve" that can reduce its HP to 1--then you can defeat it with ease. |
Trivia
- To unlock a trophy of it, one must defeat Boss Battles on Very Hard difficulty.
- In Mother 3, the original game that the Pig King hails from, one of the random effects of PK Flash is immediately destroying the enemy. This may be why it works so well for Ness in the cutscene. However, the player can't do this manually if he/she replays the stage as Ness - he/she must survive until the cutscene sequence.
- Likewise, the player can't use Trophy Stands against the Porky Statue, as it's invincible.
- In Mother 3, before being battled and in New Pork City in Brawl, it stands similarly to the Statue of Liberty in real-life.
