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. | | '''Moe-Eyes'''<ref>[[:File:Super Mario Odyssey Atlas.jpg|''Super Mario Odyssey'' world atlas]]</ref> are species from ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'' that can be controlled with [[Cappy]].

| ==''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 always seen looking at [[Mario]], briefly taking their eyes off him for their idle animation. They do not move by default. If Mario comes closer, Moe-Eye panic. They shift their sunglasses upward, and try to run away. They are unable to walk off most ledges. When they are unable to move forward, Moe-Eye switch to moving parallel to the ledge or wall. Moe-Eye are fully immune to [[cactus|cacti]], and kick away any of the smaller variation they touch. The panicking state resets quickly, but if Mario is still in their radius it will restart instantly.

| When captured by [[Mario]], the player can put on or take off the sunglasses by pressing {{button|switch|Y}} or {{button|switch|X}}. While the sunglasses are on, the player is able to see [[Transparent Platform]]s, [[Hidden Coin|invisible coins]], [[Hidden Block]]s. They can also see a pillar of light from the locations of underground [[Power Moon]]s, even those that do not have a corresponding [[glowing spot]]. (As with other light pillars in ''Super Mario Odyssey'', the light is less intense if the player is close to the source.) Moe-Eye walk much slower than normal while wearing the sunglasses. (The player can capture a Moe-Eye while their sunglasses are still on, but Moe-Eye take their glasses off just after being captured, so the game functionally defaults to having glasses off.) | | Moe-Eyes are found in the Moe-Eye Habitat of the [[Sand Kingdom]] and the Underground Moon Caverns in the [[Moon Kingdom]].<ref>IGN Walkthroughs.

| Moe-Eyes are unable to jump, with the respective buttons also using their sunglasses. In addition, Moe-Eyes plummet directly off the edges of platforms with no ability to change trajectory. As such, Mario has to use elevators to access higher platforms, or in some cases has to first use a Moe-Eye to see invisible platforms that must be jumped to then navigate after releasing the Moe-Eye. Mario can still use the cacti immunity.

| Despite being harmless, they will return with the same purple effect that signifies a respawning enemy after they are defeated by poison, [[lava]], or [[pit]]s. Additionally, NPCs not frightened by Moe-Eyes but are frightened by captured Moe-Eyes. 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).
