He is a large [[wikipedia:Sphinx|sphinx]]- or lion-like creature who resembles a [[Gao]] but, unlike this enemy, is capable of moving in addition to breathing fire. During [[Tatanga]]'s invasion of [[Sarasaland]], the alien invader placed King Totomesu in charge of the [[Birabuto Kingdom]], the first world of Sarasaland. As such, King Totomesu has the important task of not only protecting his kingdom, but also protecting the entrance to the [[Muda Kingdom]]. |

|
| ==History==
| | Mario faces King Totomesu at the end of the pyramid in which the third level of Birabuto Kingdom takes place. In battle, he attacks by attempting to [[jump]] on and shoot fire at [[Mario]]. To defeat King Totomesu, Mario has to wait for him to jump and dash to activate the switch behind him (like in the battles with [[Bowser]] in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'') or simply shoot five [[superball]]s at him. Either way, Mario is awarded 5000 points for defeating King Totomesu and is allowed to progress into the Muda Kingdom. |
| ===''Super Mario Land''===
| |
| King Totomesu is first boss of ''Super Mario Land'', and he is fought at the end of the pyramid in [[World 1-3 (Super Mario Land)|World 1-3]]. Similarly to the [[Impostor Bowser|fake Bowsers]] in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', King Totomesu attacks by trying to [[jump]] on and shoot fire at Mario. King Totomesu can be defeated by touching the [[switch (Super Mario Land)|switch]] behind him or by shooting five [[Superball Mario|Superball]]s at him. The reward for defeating King Totomesu is 5000 points and being allowed to progress into the [[Muda Kingdom]]. | |
| | |
| ===''Super Mario'' Kodansha manga===
| |
| King Totomesu is the first boss faced in the ''[[Super Mario Land (manga)|Super Mario Land]]'' manga. Using [[Mecha Kuribō (character)|Mecha Kuribō]]'s sensors, Mario discovers he needs to hit him with five Superballs, but only manages to land four hits, before the boss swipes at him, making him lose the Superballs. Mario attempts to stomp on him, but discovers he cannot damage him this way. Avoiding another claw swipe, Mario lands on the switch and King Totomesu explodes. | |
| | |
| ===''Super Mario-kun''===
| |
| In ''[[Super Mario-kun]]'', King Totomesu appears in the last chapter of [[Super Mario-kun Volume 3|volume 3]] alongside other ''Super Mario Land'' enemies and bosses. He disguises himself as [[Princess Peach]] in the [[Back Door]] room and gets rescued by Mario, [[Luigi]], and [[Yoshi]]. The heroes then flies away with the winged [[Marine Pop]] out of the [[Valley of Bowser]]. When [[Bowser]] laughs at the heroes, confusing them, King Totomesu reveals himself. The boss quickly manages to get the upper hand, burning the heroes, who attempted to fight him with [[Fire Flower]]s but ran out. Right when King Totomesu charges at them, [[Hiyoihoi]] and the moai appear, claiming Mario is their prey, and they start fighting for him, letting the heroes walk away.

| ==Naming==
| | ==Names in Other Languages== |
| ''Totomesu'' is the katakana rendering of "Thutmose" (also spelled "Tuthmosis"), the name of several pharaohs of ancient Egypt. This is appropriate, considering the Egyptian theme of the Birabuto Kingdom and that King Totomesu looks like the Great Sphinx of Giza (though it was built in honor of Pharaoh Khafre, not any Thutmose).

| ==Notes==
| |
| *Totomesu's in-game sprite depicts him with a goatee, yet his artwork lacks this feature.
| |
| *Concept art for ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'' shown in ''[[The Art of Super Mario Odyssey]]'' indicated that Totomesu, or at least his likeness, would have made a reappearance (presumably in the [[Sand Kingdom]]).
