A '''Tokotoko''' is a stone moai head from the [[Easton Kingdom]] found ''[[Super Mario Land]].'' A Tokotoko's attack pattern involved sprinting real quick towards [[Mario]], causing him damage if he came into contact with the tokotoko. If Mario was in the air at all when it came in contact with him, even if he was moving upwards still, the Tokotoko would be defeated and give up 400 points. Tokotokos are under the assumed leadership [[Hiyoihoi]]. Tokotokos are noted for having some relation to [[Ganchan]]s because their leader, Hiyoihoi, throws them as weapons; also both are rocky creatures found in the Easton Kingdom. This may imply that Ganchans are servants of Tokotokos or are under the same leadership as them. Tokotoko look like potato-shaped boulders with sunglasses and arms, but no visible legs.

Tokotoko[1][2] are living stone moai heads from the Easton Kingdom found in Super Mario Land.

History[edit]

Super Mario Land[edit]

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)[edit]

In the 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 "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[edit]

In Super Mario-kun, Tokotoko appear in 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[edit]

In WarioWare Gold, a Tokotoko appears in the third level of the microgame Super Mario Land as the enemy that has to be defeated with a Superball.
