In ''Super Mario 64'', Eyerok is the boss of [[Shifting Sand Land]] and resides in the central pyramid. His chamber is a platform with a [[pit]] on three sides and is contained in a large red block. Eyerok guards the [[Power Star]] of the mission [[Stand Tall on the Four Pillars]].
Eyerok is the boss of [[Shifting Sand Land]]. He resides in the center of the pyramid, inside a chamber. Eyerok attacks by either slamming his fists or trying to push [[Mario]] off the platform. Each fist acts separately. Only one exposes its eyeball at a time, making it vulnerable. A hit from Eyerok takes away three wedges of the [[Health Meter#Super Mario 64 / Super Mario 64 DS|Power Meter]]. Eyerok can be damaged from either [[punch]]ing, [[kick]]ing, or [[dive|diving]] into the eyeball on either palm. One of Eyerok's hands is destroyed after three hits, but destroying both is required for the [[Power Star]] of the mission [[Stand Tall on the Four Pillars]].


During the battle, Eyerok attacks by either slamming his fists or trying to push [[Mario]] off the platform. Each fist acts separate from the other, and only one fist at a time exposes an eyeball. If Mario is hit, he loses three wedges from his [[Health Meter|Power Meter]]. Mario can attack Eyerok by either [[punch]]ing or [[dive|diving]] into the eyeball on either palm. If an eye on one of Eyerok's palms is closed, Mario cannot attack that fist. If Mario hits an eyeball on either hand three times, the hand is destroyed. If both eyeballs are hit three times, Eyerok is defeated, and Mario is rewarded with the Power Star.
Eyerok can be fought by any of the four player characters in ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', except [[Yoshi]], unless he is wearing a [[cap]], allowing him to destroy the [[Block (Super Mario 64)|Brick]] obstructing the entrance to Eyerok's chamber. If Yoshi were to fight Eyerok, he can attack by [[Slide Kick|slide-kicking]] or [[Ground Pound|ground-pounding]] into the eyes or by eating a flame from one of the small pillars and then [[Fire Power (Yoshi)|breathing it]] into either of Eyerok's open eyes. For [[Wario]], only two hits are necessary to destroy each hand.

In ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', Eyerok acts the same as in the original game. He can be fought by any of the four player characters. [[Yoshi]] can reach Eyerok only by using a [[cap]], as he cannot break the [[Block (Super Mario 64)|Brick]] obstructing the entrance to Eyerok's chamber alone.
 
If Yoshi is fighting Eyerok, he can attack by [[Slide Kick|slide-kicking]] or [[Ground Pound|ground-pounding]] into the eyes or by eating a flame from one of the small pillars and then [[Fire Power (Yoshi)|breathing it]] into either of Eyerok's open eyes. If [[Wario]] is fighting and attacks Eyerok with a punch, he needs to hit each eyeball only twice because of his strength.

In ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', Eyerok is the second boss of [[Mario Kart DS#Missions|Mission Mode]]. He appears in the [[List of boss arenas in Mario Kart DS#Sand Arena|Sand Arena]] and is battled by Mario. There are three [[Item Box]]es here that contain [[Green Shell]]s. Eyerok moves up and down, trying to dodge these shells. After being hit one time, he jumps around while making fists. Then, he opens his fists, exposing his eyes. After being hit a second time, he stomps around again and moves up and down more frequently. After being hit a third time, Eyerok is defeated.

Eyerok, Super Mario 64

Eyerok, also known as the Hands[1] or Stone Hands,[2] is a boss introduced in Super Mario 64. He is a pair of two large stone hands with an eyeball on each palm, making him a golem-like entity. His name could be either a portmanteau of "eye" and "rock" or a pun on the phrase "I rock."

History[edit]

Super Mario 64 / Super Mario 64 DS[edit]

Screenshot from Super Mario 64

Eyerok is the boss of Shifting Sand Land. He resides in the center of the pyramid, inside a chamber. Eyerok attacks by either slamming his fists or trying to push Mario off the platform. Each fist acts separately. Only one exposes its eyeball at a time, making it vulnerable. A hit from Eyerok takes away three wedges of the Power Meter. Eyerok can be damaged from either punching, kicking, or diving into the eyeball on either palm. One of Eyerok's hands is destroyed after three hits, but destroying both is required for the Power Star of the mission Stand Tall on the Four Pillars.

Eyerok can be fought by any of the four player characters in Super Mario 64 DS, except Yoshi, unless he is wearing a cap, allowing him to destroy the Brick obstructing the entrance to Eyerok's chamber. If Yoshi were to fight Eyerok, he can attack by slide-kicking or ground-pounding into the eyes or by eating a flame from one of the small pillars and then breathing it into either of Eyerok's open eyes. For Wario, only two hits are necessary to destroy each hand.

Mario Kart DS[edit]

Eyerok appears in Mario Kart DS. He is fought by Mario in the Sand Arena at the end of level 2 of the Missions mode. Eyerok moves around the arena, but he can take damage from Green Shells. After the first and second hits each, Eyerok jumps around in the shape of fists briefly. He begins moving vertically more often after two hits. After three hits, Eyerok is defeated.
