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''' ({{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]].


==Origin==
==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''==
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.
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]].


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.
The Porky Statue also plays a role in [[Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary|The Subspace Emissary]] level [[The Ruined Zoo]]. It chases {{SSBB|Lucas}} down until {{SSBB|Ness}} shows up after enough time has passed and destroys it, revealing that Porky Minch was hiding within the statue.  


Contrary to its depiction in the Subspace Emissary, Porky himself is not hidden within the statue in ''Mother 3''.
The statue is completely immune to all knockback and damage during normal gameplay; instead, it walks across the level and destroys all obstacles in its path as the player attempts to flee.

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''==
===Trophy Description===
===Role in [[The Subspace Emissary]]===
''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.''

{{Trophy games|console1=GBA|game1=Mother 3 ''(Japan Only)''}}
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 can also be seen in the background of the [[New Pork City]] stage, where it has no gameplay-related role.
The Porky Statue made its first appearance in ''[[Mother 3]]''. Acting as a parody of the [[wikipedia:Statue of Liberty|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.

The Porky Statue trophy is obtained by completing [[Boss Battles]] on Very Hard [[difficulty]].

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''.

==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]].
*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]]. Its trophy is instead obtained by completing [[Boss Battles]] on the Very Hard [[difficulty]].
*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.
*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.
