==History==
===''Super Mario Land''===
A Tokotoko's attack pattern involves sprinting quickly towards [[Mario]], damaging him upon contact. They can be defeated with any attack, earning Mario 400 points. The boss of Easton Kingdom, [[Hiyoihoi]], is an evolved Tokotoko.

===''Super Mario'' (Kodansha manga)===
In the [[Super Mario Land (manga)|''Super Mario Land'' manga]], Tokotoko are depicted as running athletes and without their shades. They are called by a [[Batadon]] that caught Mario ruining one of the kingdom's stone heads. The running Tokotoko charge at him, which Mario avoids with a jump, but they turn around, right when more Batadons arrive on the scene. However, the moai are easily tricked by Mario yelling "{{wp|Statues (game)|Red light!}}", making them stop in place. Only when Mario leaves do they realize that they were tricked and chase after him. After losing Mario due to him being in a disguise, they finally find him and jump towards him, failing to notice he was entangled in a web with lethal [[Suu]] venom about to be poured on him. Getting entangled in the web, the moai free Mario with their jolts, and are hit by the venom in his place, melting down.

===''Super Mario-kun''===
In ''[[Super Mario-kun]]'', Tokotoko appear in [[Super Mario-kun Volume 3|volume 3]] alongside the Batadons and their boss Hiyoihoi in a separate room of [[Bowser's Castle]]. When Mario enters the room, he is trampled by a group of Tokotoko. After forcing [[Yoshi]] to eat the [[Ganchan]] tossed at him by Hiyoihoi, Mario tosses him like a bowling ball, hitting all the moai. They rise up and group themselves together into a boulder formation, not letting the heroes get past them. With great timing, a package from [[Princess Daisy]] arrives with a broken down Marine Pop inside. After powering it up with a pair of [[Yoshi's Wings]], the Marine Pop gains the ability of flight and the heroes fly past the moai. Later, when [[King Totomesu]] is about to land the final blow on Mario, Hiyoihoi and the moai appear, claiming that Mario is their prey and that they will not let anyone else take the glory of killing Mario, starting a fight between the two parties and letting Mario and his friends run away.

===''WarioWare Gold''===
In ''[[WarioWare Gold]]'', a Tokotoko appears in the third level of the [[microgame]] [[Super Mario Land (WarioWare Gold)|Super Mario Land]] as the enemy that has to be defeated with a [[Superball Mario|Superball]].
