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 [[Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary]].
The '''Porky 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 appears as a boss there in ''Mother 3''.
 
==Origin==
The Porky Statue made its first appearance in ''[[Mother 3]]''. Acting as a mockery 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 an optional boss after [[Lucas]] and his allies locate [[Boney]] and defeat {{s|wikibound|Fassad}} for the last time. The statue does not attack unless it is interacted with three times. Its 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. 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 [[wikibound: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.
 
Contrary to its depiction in the Subspace Emissary, Porky himself is not hidden within the statue in ''Mother 3''.

===Role in [[The Subspace Emissary]]===
The Porky Statue can be seen in the background of the [[New Pork City]] stage in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. The statue is also a collectible [[trophy]].
[[File:Porky_Statue_Chase.jpg|thumb|left|The Porky Statue chasing Lucas in the Ruined Zoo.]]
The Porky Statue appears as a [[hazard]] in ''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. Touching its body deals high knockback, easily an KOing on high [[difficulty|difficulties]] in only two hits.


During the level, the Porky Statue falls in a lake and respawns a few seconds later, falling from the sky. After enough time has passed {{SSBB|Ness}} shows up and destroys it, revealing [[Porky Minch]] who was hiding inside it.  
The Porky Statue also plays a role in [[Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary|The Subspace Emissary]] level [[The Ruined Zoo]]. It chases [[Lucas (SSBB)|Lucas]] down until [[Ness (SSBB)|Ness]] shows up after enough time has passed and destroys it, revealing Porky Minch, himself. It cannot be defeated when it chases down Lucas. The statue is completely invincible during normal gameplay; however, it does not attack. It just simply walks across the entire level while the player has to maneuver around obstacles. The statue damages the player and enemies via contact and would also destroy obstacles.

''A guardian statue standing inside New Pork City that's clearly based on Porky himself. Investigate it, and the statue will turn hostile and start a battle. And it has 100,000,000 HP! It has very high stats, so you'll never win if you attack it straight-on. Thankfully, there's an item called "New Year's Eve" that can reduce its HP to 1--then you can defeat it with ease.''

[[File:PigKingStatuebattle.PNG|thumb|120px|The in-battle sprite of the Porky Statue from ''Mother 3''.]]
The Porky Statue only appears as a trophy.
The Porky Statue made its first appearance in ''[[Mother 3]]''. 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.''" and is located on the northeast corner of [[New Pork City]]. After Lucas and Co. find Boney and defeat Fassad for the last time, they have the option to battle the Porky Statue. If the player "checks" on the statue, it will have "hostile feelings" and attacks. The Porky Statue is almost invincible, having 100,000,000 HP. The attacks that the Porky Statue use include: stomping its feet, swinging both arms around, and hitting a player with the book it's holding. The attacks deal a great amount of damage. The most practical way to defeating the statue is buying and using the New Year's Eve Bomb (which is a bomb that causes a great explosion that only leaves the Porky Statue with 1 HP left). The other method is to try to use PK Flash. In ''[[EarthBound]]'', Ness can learn "PSI Flash γ" and "PSI Flash Ω" (Better known as [[PK Flash]]), both of which have a high probability of defeating an enemy instantly. In ''Mother 3'', there is only one version of PK Flash that Lucas can learn, but there is a small chance that PK Flash will cause an instant defeat, and the Porky Statue is weak to PK Flash attacks.

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''==
[[File:SSBU Porky Statue.jpg|thumb|The Porky Statue seen on the far right of New Pork City.]]
With [[New Pork City]] returning as a familiar stage in ''Ultimate'', the Porky Statue can be seen in the background as it did in ''Brawl''.

==Gallery==
In the cut-scene after that level, Ness uses PK Flash to defeat the statue which is a reference to both PK Flash attacks having a chance to defeat an enemy instantly, and how the Porky Statue is weak to PK Flash.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*As the Porky Statue is immune to all damage, it is among the few Subspace Emissary enemies that cannot be obtained through the use of a [[Trophy Stand]].
*The Porky Statue is supposed to resemble New York City's Statue of Liberty in its appearance. Instead of a tablet and a torch, the statue holds a comic book and a slingshot. Likewise, "[[New Pork City]]" is a play on the name "New York City".
*Although a cutscene depicts Ness destroying the Porky Statue with a [[PK Flash]], consistent with its appearance in ''Mother 3'', the move has no effect on the statue in actual gameplay.  
*In the SSE cut-scene, Ness attacks the statue with PK Thunder and destroys it with PK Flash. However, when playing in the Ruined Zoo (after the SSE is beaten) with Ness, PK Thunder and PK Flash won't do anything to the statue.
*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 it.
*Although the Porky Statue is simply a hazard and not a boss, it has official artwork of itself in front of a pink background, just like the other bosses.
