The '''Sphinx Zō''' | The {{nihongo|'''Sphinx Zō'''|スフィンクス像|''Sufinkusu Zō''|Sphinx Statue}} is an enemy that exclusively appears in chapter 2 of [[Super Mario-kun Volume 6|''Super Mario-kun'' Volume 6]]. It has a face of a [[Thwomp]], body and shell of a [[Dry Bones]], paws of a [[Mega Mole]], 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.
