The {{nihongo|'''Sphinx Zō'''|スフィンクス像|''Sufinkusu Zō''|Sphinx Statue}} is | The {{nihongo|'''Sphinx Zō'''|スフィンクス像|''Sufinkusu Zō''|Sphinx Statue}} is a character that appears in the second chapter from [[Super Mario-kun Volume 6|volume 6]] of ''[[Super Mario-kun]]''. The Sphinx Zō is a giant [[Sphinx]] statue that is an amalgamation of body parts taken from several enemy species, including the face of a [[Thwomp]], the body and shell of a [[Dry Bones]], the paws of a [[Mega Mole]], the wings of a [[Koopa Paratroopa]], and a [[Ball 'n' Chain]] for a tail. | ||
After defeating [[Lemmy Koopa|Lemmy]] in the previous volume, [[Mario]], [[Luigi]] and [[Yoshi]]'s path is blocked by the Sphinx Zō. Like any other Sphinx, the monster challenges the trio with an enigma: if they can solve it, they can proceed, otherwise they are punished. The enigma is, apparently, a simple "find the intruder" puzzle and four images are presented: a lion, a panda, an octopus, and a grandmother. The three heroes point at the grandmother since she is a human, but they fail: since the grandmother is called "Suzuki Kuma" ("kuma" means "bear"), that makes her a land animal, so the intruder is the octopus since it is a sea animal. | After defeating [[Lemmy Koopa|Lemmy]] in the previous volume, [[Mario]], [[Luigi]] and [[Yoshi]]'s path is blocked by the Sphinx Zō.
