'''Eyerok''' is a boss who initially appeared in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' for the [[Nintendo 64]]. The boss features two separated stone hands with a single eye in the middle of each one. The goal of the battle is to attack those eyes at the right moments, though doing so will become a challenge as they'll work cooperatively to prevent [[Mario]] from doing so. Obviously, the boss returned in the DS remake of the game called ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''.

Eyerok appeared once more in the [[Nintendo DS]] video game ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' as a boss. In the game, the player would have to shoot [[Green Shell]]s in the middle of the hands in order to attack the eyes. Doing so a total of three times would kill it.

History

Super Mario 64/Super Mario 64 DS

Eyerok first appears in Super Mario 64 as the boss in the pyramids of Shifting Sand Land. He guards one of the 120 Power Stars and resides in a rectangular block in the center of the pyramid. To access the area, Mario must stand on all four pillars in Shifting Sand Land to open the top of the pyramid. Mario must then go through the opening top to go down a platform leading him to Eyerok and the giant rectangular cube with a cubical opening. Mario must then break the brick to enter and battle Eyerok.

When battling Eyerok, Mario must avoid his punching attacks he levitates in midair and later his sliding punching attacks which Eyerok tries to use to knock Mario off the edge. If Mario is hit by his punching, he loses three bars of his health meter. Mario must destroy Eyerok by punching his eye in both of his hands three times (making six total). Once this is accomplished, Eyerok is defeated and releases a Power Star.

  • In Super Mario 64 DS, Eyerok reappears once again with no changes. However, there is an alternative way for Luigi to access Eyerok; he must backflip and spin from the closest platform in the sand to fall into the cubical part with a brick blocking it.
