Eyerok is the boss of [[Shifting Sand Land]]. He resides in the center of the pyramid, inside a chamber. Eyerok attacks by either slamming his fists or trying to push [[Mario]] off the platform. Each fist acts separately. Only one exposes its eyeball at a time, making it vulnerable. A hit from Eyerok takes away three wedges of the [[Health Meter#Super Mario 64 / Super Mario 64 DS|Power Meter]]. Eyerok can be damaged from either [[punch]]ing, [[kick]]ing, or [[dive|diving]] into the eyeball on either palm. One of Eyerok's hands is destroyed after three hits, but destroying both is required for the [[Power Star]] of the mission [[Stand Tall on the Four Pillars]].
 
Eyerok can be fought by any of the four player characters in ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', except [[Yoshi]], unless he is wearing a [[cap]], allowing him to destroy the [[Block (Super Mario 64)|Brick]] obstructing the entrance to Eyerok's chamber. If Yoshi were to fight Eyerok, he can attack by [[Slide Kick|slide-kicking]] or [[Ground Pound|ground-pounding]] into the eyes or by eating a flame from one of the small pillars and then [[Fire Power (Yoshi)|breathing it]] into either of Eyerok's open eyes.

Eyerok appears in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]''. He is fought by Mario in the [[List of boss arenas in Mario Kart DS#Sand Arena|Sand Arena]] at the end of level 2 of the Missions mode. Eyerok moves around the arena, but he can take damage from [[Green Shell]]s. After the first and second hits each, Eyerok jumps around in the shape of fists briefly. He begins moving vertically more often after two hits. After three hits, Eyerok is defeated.


'''Eyerok''' is a golem-like entity in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' that guards a [[Power Star]] in [[Shifting Sand Land]]. He resides in the central pyramid and is composed of two massive, stone hands with eyeballs in the palms. His chamber is a platform with a pit on three sides, which is inside a large red brick block in the pyramid. He slams down his fists which take away three points of he/she life each hit, and tries to push the player off the platform. The player must punch his eyes (when open) a few times to defeat him, though the player needs to destroy each hand.

Eyerok appears in one of the ''[[Super Mario-kun]]'' comics. He appears on the cover of the sixteenth issue, which is based on ''Super Mario 64''. His role throughout the comic mimics his role in the game. Though more ''Super Mario 64'' issues exist, Eyerok appears in only one. Mario attempts to attack him, even by flatulating on him, but Eyerok just pokes or smacks him with both hands. After finding out that the eyes are the weak points, Mario takes measures to make them open their eyes and then defeats them.


Eyerok also appears in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', as the second boss in Mission Mode. [[Mario]] needs to shoot three green shells at any eye to defeat Eyerok.

Eyerok, also known as the Hands[1] or Stone Hands,[2] is a boss introduced in Super Mario 64. He is a pair of two large stone hands with an eyeball on each palm, making him a golem-like entity. His name could be either a portmanteau of "eye" and "rock" or a pun on the phrase "I rock."

History[edit]

Super Mario 64 / Super Mario 64 DS[edit]

Screenshot from Super Mario 64

Eyerok is the boss of Shifting Sand Land. He resides in the center of the pyramid, inside a chamber. Eyerok attacks by either slamming his fists or trying to push Mario off the platform. Each fist acts separately. Only one exposes its eyeball at a time, making it vulnerable. A hit from Eyerok takes away three wedges of the Power Meter. Eyerok can be damaged from either punching, kicking, or diving into the eyeball on either palm. One of Eyerok's hands is destroyed after three hits, but destroying both is required for the Power Star of the mission Stand Tall on the Four Pillars.

Eyerok can be fought by any of the four player characters in Super Mario 64 DS, except Yoshi, unless he is wearing a cap, allowing him to destroy the Brick obstructing the entrance to Eyerok's chamber. If Yoshi were to fight Eyerok, he can attack by slide-kicking or ground-pounding into the eyes or by eating a flame from one of the small pillars and then breathing it into either of Eyerok's open eyes. For Wario, only two hits are necessary to destroy each hand.
