Template:Species-infobox Moe-Eyes[1] are enemies[2] from Super Mario Odyssey that can be controlled with Cappy. They are based on their namesake, the Moai statue heads, and have a pair of feet, earrings and sunglasses, and a tuft of green hair.

Moe-Eyes are found in the Moe-Eye Habitat of the Sand Kingdom and the Underground Moon Caverns in the Moon Kingdom.[3] When controlled by Mario, they gain his hat and his mustache, and the player can put on or take off the sunglasses by pressing Y. While the sunglasses are on, the player is able to see invisible platforms and Hidden Blocks, 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 Moe-Eye can also be heard faintly humming the first few notes of the Super Mario Bros. theme[4] and the ending theme or the Super Mario World ending theme[5] while wearing sunglasses.
