History[edit]

Super Mario series[edit]

New Super Mario Bros. U / New Super Luigi / New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe[edit]

In New Super Mario Bros. U, New Super Luigi U and New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe, they mostly inhabit desert-themed levels, and either move in numerous different patterns (e.g. swaying, up and down, to the left or right, etc.) or are completely stationary. Based on their movement patterns, they can assist and/or hinder players.

Some Stone-Eyes can be moved by Ground Pounding on top of them; this is often necessary to reach things such as Star Coins or paths to secret exits. They have their eyes fixed on the player when approached; if the player performs a Spin Jump, their eyes will roll around for a moment. There are also brown-colored, rectangular Stone-Eyes with their eyes closed that serve as stationary platforms. In New Super Luigi U's Spinning Sandstones, one of them resembles Luigi.

A Stone-Eye figure appears in the background of the Purple Toad House located at Secret Island.

Super Mario Run[edit]

Stone-Eyes reappear in the background of desert levels in Super Mario Run.

Super Mario Maker 2[edit]

In Super Mario Maker 2, Stone-Eyes can be seen again in the background of New Super Mario Bros. U-styled desert courses. As of version 3.0.0, Stone-Eyes designed in the style of Super Mario World may appear on desert-themed course icons in Super Worlds.
