'''Moe-Eyes''' are a species from ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'' that can be controlled with [[Cappy]]. They are based on their namesake, the {{wp|moai}} statue heads, and have a pair of feet, earrings and sunglasses, and a tuft of green hair.

==''Super Mario Odyssey''==
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 "[[Ground Theme (Super Mario Bros.)|Ground Theme]]" or the "[[Ending (Super Mario Bros.)|Ending]]" theme from ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', the ''[[Super Mario World]]'' "[[Ending (Super Mario World)|Ending]]" theme, "[[Gusty Garden Galaxy (theme)|Gusty Garden Galaxy]]" from ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', or another unknown theme<ref>Thomas Game Docs (May 8, 2022).

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).

==Concept and creation==
[[File:SMO Concept Art - Moe-Eye.jpg|thumb|left|Concept art of a Moe-Eye.]]
The design of the Moe-Eye used peculiar textures that would make them easily distinguishable from the ruins of [[Sand Kingdom|Tostarena]].<ref name="concept">[https://twitter.com/mario_odysseyJP/status/955559699851632640 Post about the concept art of a Moe-Eye from the Japanese ''Super Mario Odyssey'' official Twitter account].
