The '''Porky Statue''' ({{ja|キングのぞう|Kingu no Zō}}, ''King Statue'') also known as the '''Pig King Statue''' or '''King P. Statue''' is a huge statue of [[Porky Minch]] from ''[[Mother 3]]''. It can be seen in [[New Pork City]] and it appears as an obstacle in the [[Subspace Emissary]].

The Porky Statue appears as a hazard in [[Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary|The Subspace Emissary]] level [[The Ruined Zoo]]. It is immune to all attacks and chases down {{SSBB|Lucas}}, slowly advancing while destroying all obstacles in its path. After enough time has passed {{SSBB|Ness}} shows up and destroys it, revealing [[Porky Minch]] who was hiding inside it.

:{{flag|pal}} ''A statue of Porky built under the orders of Porky to honour the great exploits of Porky as acknowledged by Porky. It depicts Porky in his childhood days in Onett, with a comic book in one hand and a slingshot in the other. But be warned - this is no mere statue, it's an incredibly tough enemy as well.''

==Origin==

The Porky Statue made its first appearance in ''[[Mother 3]]''. Acting as a parody of the {{s|wikipedia|Statue of Liberty}}, the Porky Statue is a statue of [[Porky Minch]] with the inscription: "''The smartest, bravest, and toughest chubster of all time. Here stands a statue of our great leader, Master Porky.''"; instead of the torch and tablet held by the Statue of Liberty, the Porky Statue also holds a comic book and a slingshot.

 

In ''Mother 3'', the Porky Statue acts as a boss after [[Lucas]] and his allies locate {{s|wikibound|Boney}} and defeat {{s|wikibound|Fassad}} for the last time. The statue does not attack unless it is interacted with three times. The statue, however, is effectively impossible to defeat, having one hundred million hit points as well as attack/defense stats that are beyond the normal character stats at level 99. Although it is possible for Lucas to land a particularly lucky [[PK Flash]] attack on the statue to instantly defeat it, a more practical method involves the use of the [http://www.wikibound.info/wiki/List_of_battle_items_in_Mother_3 New Year's Eve Bomb], an otherwise useless item which reduces its HP to 1. It is rarely possible for the item to fail on this enemy as well.

 

It's attacks are to "Stomp its feet," which produces a powerful shockwave that will try to KO all characters, to "Swing both arms all around," dealing medium damage to two party members, and to "Attack with a book," which does very high damage to one party member. If the player does manage to "defeat" the statue without Flash or the New Year's Eve Bomb (by hacking the player characters' stats) the game freezes as can be seen [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xgi2jHPSihc here]. The statue disappears after being defeated, leaving the highest experience reward in the game as well as 2400 "DP," the most money in the game. The "Trivia Card 4" item is also given as a reward by a man near the statue for defeating it.

 

*Although a cutscene depicts Ness destroying the Porky Statue with a [[PK Flash]], the move itself has no effect on him in gameplay.  

*The persistent [[hitbox]] of the Porky Statue extends all the way to the left side of the screen even though the statue's body does not, ensuring the player cannot walk behind him.
