The name is self-descriptive; Mr. I's resemble giant eyeballs. They are usually immobile and only twirl in place, tracking the player character's movement. A larger variant, [[Big Mr. I.]], appears as a boss in ''Super Mario 64'' as well.

| The design of Mr. I's and their recurring association with haunted areas are evocative of {{wp|mokumokuren}}.
| | A '''Mr. I''' (originally parsed '''Mr. I.'''<ref>''Super Mario 64 [[Nintendo Power|Player's Guide]]'', pages 12, 52, 54-55</ref>) is an enemy species in the ''[[Mario (franchise)|Mario]]'' franchise. Its name is self-descriptive; they seem to be nothing more than a giant eyeball. Additionally, Mr. I are usually completely immobile, as they can only rotate around in place. |

They always watch Mario when he is close, and they can be dizzied into submission if Mario [[dash|run]]s in a circle around them in either direction, rewarding Mario with a [[Blue Coin]]. The standard Mr. I.'s can be found in [[Big Boo's Haunt]], [[Lethal Lava Land]], and the [[Hazy Maze Cave]]. After being dizzy, Mr. I.'s slightly shrink before disappearing. The much larger version, Big Mr. I., is in the attic of Big Boo's Haunt.

| In ''[[Mario Party 3]]'', a Mr. I. (referred to as "Big Mr. I" in localization) is featured in the Battle minigame [[Eye Sore]]. The objective of the [[minigame]] is to run around the Mr. I. fifteen times until he finally disappears. As the characters run around the Mr. I., he gradually shrinks. Players should avoid bumping into the Mr. I. or one of the many [[Lava Bubble|Podoboo]]s that pop up, for they stun the player for a few valuable seconds. | | [[File:Mp3 Eye Sore.png|thumb|left]] |

| | In ''[[Mario Party Advance]]'', a notable [[Mr. I (character)|Mr. I]] appears as a resident of the [[Horror Area]]; he is in love with [[Princess Peach]]. |
| A Mr. I appears in ''[[Mario Party Advance]]'' as an NPC who lives in the [[horror area]] of [[Shroom City]]. He is in love with [[Princess Peach]] and his quest, [[Love That Princess!]], requires playing as Peach. As her, the player must go over to Mr. I's residence. When he sees Peach, Mr. I shows his love for her by giving her the [[Gaddget]], [[Hope Chest]]. He is also the crush of [[Flutter]]; he does not return the favor because he hardly knows her and is already in love with Peach, and he tells the player to tell her he is sorry. He is also one of the three suspects when the [[Koopa Bank]] is robbed. He states that he is not guilty, but he remembered hearing [[coin]]s jingle. The ending states that he is learning to wink for Peach.

| In ''[[Mario Party 8]]'', Mr. I's appear in the minigame [[Eyebrawl]], where instead of running around them like in the minigame [[Eye Sore]] from ''Mario Party 3'', the player must draw circles around them with the [[Wii#Wii Remote|Wii Remote]]. As of this game, the irises and pupils of the Mr. I's take on a more oblong shape, like in ''Super Mario 64 DS''. The Mr. I's are not defeated the first time they get dizzy; instead, the Mr. I's reappear twice in progressively enlarged forms. Whoever defeats all three Mr. I forms first wins the [[minigame]]. The loser is haunted by small Mr. I's. | | In ''[[Mario Party 8]]'', Mr. I and Big Mr. I appear in the minigame [[Eyebrawl]], where instead of running around them like in the Eye Sore minigame, the player must draw circles around them with the [[Wii#Wii Remote|Wii Remote]].

| |
| Mr. I reappears in ''[[Mario Party Superstars]]'', retaining its design from ''Mario Party 8''. Just like in ''Mario Party 2'', it appears on [[Horror Land]] and will warp the player to the other side of the board. Mr. I's also run the losers out after a game on Horror Land has ended. He also has his own page in the [[Data House#Encyclopedia|encyclopedia]]. Unlike in previous games, Mr. I is incapable of speech, with his stare being interpreted by the in-game narration instead.

| In ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', Mr. I, written as '''Mister I''', appears in [[Merlee's Mansion]] and [[Castle Bleck]]; these Mister I's are immune to conventional attacks, and they can be defeated only by running around them repeatedly while using Mario's [[Flip]] technique. Alternatively, the player may use [[Fleep]]'s ability on them to defeat much easier. A total of three can be found in the game. In this appearance, Mister I's attack the player by shooting them with a cyan laser beam, like in ''Mario Party 5''. The game also introduces a subspecies of Mister I called [[Red I]].
