Furious, Mario and Luigi protest once again and the Sphinx Zō attacks them. Mario tries to use his staff as a spear, but the Sphinx Zō blocks it and squashes Mario's body, leaving only his head intact. With its tail, the Sphinx Zō then hurts Luigi. Yoshi tries to attack by throwing Mario's head, but the Sphinx Zō parries the attack. Mario then grabs a [[Rotating Block]] with his mouth and tries to attack the Sphinx Zō again, but gets eaten by it. While inside the Sphinx Zō's belly, Mario activates the block, releasing the [[Beanstalk|vine]] inside. The Sphinx Zō explodes and the curse is broken: Mario and Luigi return to normal. Yoshi then builds an elephant statue with the Sphinx Zō's pieces.

==Trivia==
*In the original Japanese version of this volume, the paws of the Sphinx Zō are stated to be from a [[Mega Mole]]. However, the French translation  states that the paws of the Sphinx Zō were actually from a [[Monty Mole]] instead.<ref name=French/> The reason for this change could likely be due to a mistranslation.
