The '''Sphinx Zō''' is an enemy that exclusively appears in chapter 2 of ''[[Super Mario-kun]]'' [[Super Mario-kun Volume 6|volume 6]]. It has a face of a [[Thwomp]], body and shell of a [[Dry Bones]], paws of a [[Mega Mole]], wings of a [[Koopa Paratroopa]], and a [[Spinner|Ball 'N' Chain]] for a tail. | The '''Sphinx Zō''' is an enemy that exclusively appears in chapter 2 of ''[[Super Mario-kun]]'' [[Super Mario-kun Volume 6|volume 6]].

After defeating [[Lemmy]] in the previous volume, [[Mario]], [[Luigi]] and [[Yoshi]]'s path is blocked by the Sphinx Zō. Like any other Sphinx, the monster challenges the trio with an enigma: if they can solve it, they can proceed, otherwise they are punished. The enigma is, apparently, a simple "find the intruder" puzzle and four images are presented: a lion, a panda, an octopus, and a grandmother. The three heroes point at the grandmother since she is a human, but they fail: since the grandmother is called "Suzuki Kuma" ("kuma" means "bear"), that makes her a land animal, so the intruder is the octopus since it is a sea animal. | After defeating [[Lemmy Koopa|Lemmy]] in the previous volume, [[Mario]], [[Luigi]] and [[Yoshi]]'s path is blocked by the Sphinx Zō.

The heroes protest but instead receive their punishment: Luigi is turned into stone, but Mario takes immediately a [[Tanooki Mario|Tanooki Suit]] and, in [[Statue Mario|Statue form]], manages to survive the transformation, but he cannot revert to the Tanooki form (Yoshi survives since the curse does not work on "stupid kids"). Feeling generous, the Sphinx Zō accepts to give Mario and Yoshi a chance to break the spell, by walking through a hall full of [[Bowser Statue]]s. Being made of stone, Mario and Yoshi pass easily through the hall, but the Sphinx Zō does not keep its promise. | The heroes protest but instead receive their punishment: Luigi is turned into stone, but Mario takes immediately a [[Tanooki Mario|Tanooki Suit]] and, in [[Statue Mario|Statue form]], manages to survive the transformation, but he cannot revert to the Tanooki form (Yoshi survives since the curse does not work on "stupid kids").
