It is composed of two massive, stone hands with eyeballs in the palms. |

| 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]]. | | In ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', Eyerok is the boss of [[Shifting Sand Land]] and resides in the central pyramid, where it guards one of the [[Power Star]]s. Its chamber is a platform with a pit on three sides, which is inside a large red brick block in the pyramid. It slams down its fists and tries to push the player off of the platform. When hit, the player will lose three bars in the power meter. The player must punch Eyerok's eyes (located in its palms) enough times to destroy each hand, at which point the stone monstrosity is defeated. |

|
| 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.
| | ====''Super Mario 64 DS''==== |
| | In ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', Eyerok makes an appearance. Like in its original appearance, it appears in Shifting Sand Land during the [[Stand Tall On The Four Pillars]] mission. When Mario enters its chamber and disturbs it, the two engage in battle. Eyerok's strategy remains unchanged: attacking Mario while leaving an eye exposed. |

| ===''Mario Kart DS''=== | | ===''Mario Kart'' series=== |
| Eyerok appears in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]''. He is fought by Mario in the [[List of boss arenas in Mario Kart DS#Sand Arena|Sand Arena]] at the end of level 2 of the Missions mode. Eyerok moves around the arena, but he can take damage from [[Green Shell]]s. 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. | | ====''Mario Kart DS''==== |
| | Eyerok also appears in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' as the second boss in [[Mario Kart DS#Missions|Mission Mode]]. It appears in the [[Sand Arena]]. There are three [[Item Box]]es here which contain [[Green Shell]]s. Eyerok moves up and down trying to dodge these shells. After being hit one time, it jumps around while making fists. Then, it opens its fists, exposing its eyes. After being hit a second time, it stomps around again. After being hit a third time, Eyerok disappears. |

| Eyerok appears in one of the ''[[Super Mario-kun]]'' comics. He appears on the cover of the sixteenth issue, which is based on ''Super Mario 64''. His role throughout the comic mimics his role in the game. Though more ''Super Mario 64'' issues exist, Eyerok appears in only one. Mario attempts to attack him, even by flatulating on him, but Eyerok just pokes or smacks him with both hands. After finding out that the eyes are the weak points, Mario takes measures to make them open their eyes and then defeats them. | | Eyerok appears in one of the ''[[Super Mario-Kun]]'' comics.

Though more ''Super Mario 64'' issues exist, Eyerok only appears in one. |

| *[[Knucklotec]] – a boss in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'' who speaks and fights in a similar manner to Eyerok | | *Eyerok is a portmanteau of "eye" and "rock." |
| *[[Snow Ogre]] – an ice version of Eyerok in ''[[Mario Tennis Aces]]'' who serves as the boss of [[Snowfall Mountain]] | | *If Mario stands on the tomb containing the Power Star, Eyerok will keep banging on the ground with its fists until [[Mario]] gets off the tomb. |
| | *Eyerok's behavior during the battle is somewhat similar to the behavior of [[Bouldergeist]]'s hands when it uses them to attack [[Mario]] during the second half of the battle in the [[Ghostly Galaxy]] and the [[Boss Blitz Galaxy]]. |
| | *It is possible to get into Eyerok's chamber through an alternate way in ''Super Mario 64 DS'' with Luigi by backflipping off of the cube Eyerok resides in, punching the brick covering the hole, and entering the chamber. |
| | *Eyerok bears some resemblance to [[Master Hand]] and [[Crazy Hand]]. |
| | * Eyerok mentions he has been sleeping forever, but [[Bowser]] says he gave the stars to his troops in the walls. This is most likely a mistake. |
