The Pig King Statue

The Pig King Statue is a boss in the game Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Altough Sakurai lists it as a boss, it's not actually a boss. In the Subspace Emissary, Lucas is visiting The Ruined Zoo but after he sees the Pig King Statue, he runs away. Lucas must travel through the zoo avoiding the Pig King Statue with the help of the player. However, soon, he trips over and just when he thinks it's over, Ness comes and uses PK Thunder and PK Flash to destroy the large statue. But once destroyed, it turns into Porky, an actual boss that is fought. Aside from the Subspace Emissary, the Pig King Statue also receives a trophy and gets to be in the background of the New Pork City stage.

Trivia

• To unlock a trophy of him, one must defeat Boss Battle on Very Hard Difficulty.
• In Mother 3, the original game that the Pig King comes out of, one of the random effects of PK Flash is immediately destroying the enemy. This may be why it works so well for Ness in the cutscene. However, the player can't do this manually if they replay the stage as Ness - they must survive until the cutscene sequence.
• In Mother 3, before being battled and in New Pork City in Brawl, he stands like the Statue of Liberty in real-life
