Profile
Physical description
The moai is a gray face with yellow eyes, which go off his face and have red pupils in the Fungitown's picture of him.
In Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga
The moai is first seen right before Luigi obtains the Crabbie Grass. The moai then appears and tells Luigi he is angry the people are making rumors about him being a blood-thirsty monster. The moai then asks Luigi to help him relieve his stress by jumping over his flames for thirty seconds. Luigi does so and the moai is pleased and opens the way to the Crabbie Grass.
Trivia
- The theme song that plays during the moai's mini-game is the boss theme song for Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga. Though, technically, the monster doesn't count as a boss.
- The way the Monster leaves after the minigame is done is different in both versions of the game. In the original, he fades after opening the way to the Crabbie Grass whereas in the remake, he poofs away after opening the gate.
