"A statue honoring Porky's greatness. In its right hand is a slingshot, and in its left is a comic book."

— Battle Memory

"The smartest, bravest, and toughest chubster of all time. Here stands a statue of our great leader, Master Porky."

— Inscription on the statue

The King Statue is an optional boss in Mother 3. It is a near-invincible statue in the likeness of Porky Minch, that can only be fought after Boney is found in New Pork City's sewers and rejoins Lucas's party.

In Mother 3Edit

The first time Lucas interacts with it, he simply reads the inscription on the statue. The second time it is read, Lucas gets the feeling that the statue is staring at him with intense hostility. The third time, Lucas is allowed to return the statue's feelings of hostility, causing the screen to shake and the King Statue to attack the party.

Boss BattleEdit

The statue has 100,000,000 hit points, but using the New Year's Eve Bomb reduces this amount to 1, making it possible for Lucas and co. to defeat the King Statue in one hit. PSI Flash can also be used against the statue, but this technique is often ineffective during the battle. It gives more wealth than any other boss in the game. After defeating the King Statue, the man standing near the statue's pedestal will give Lucas and friends the Trivia Card 4 if he is talked to.

Creation and RelationsEdit

It is heavily implied that the King Statue is a satire of the real-life Statue of Liberty; not only do their respective locations differ by only a letter (New Pork City and New York City, respectively), but both stand on pedestals, wear a crown, are in the same posistion, and carry an item with great symbolism in each hand.

Boss Battle Game CrashEdit

People have tried to beat The King Statue without a new Year's Eve Bomb or PK Flash. Most are defeated long before the 100,000,000 hit points are gone. However, if one were to survive and get rid of a certain amount of HP without using the regular methods shown above, the game crashes, making it impossible to destroy without The New Year's Eve Bomb or PK Flash.^{[citation needed]}
