The '''Mani-Mani Statue''', or '''Evil Mani-Mani''', is an item that [[Giygas]] used during the events of [[EarthBound]] to help spread his evil influence. It is seen multiple times throughout the game. The first time is optional, but adds more background to where it came from. It plays a large role in the game.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*[[Ness's Nightmare]] bears a large resemblance to the Mani-Mani Statue, sharing the same battle sprite, spare the Moonside-like coloring. It is possible that Ness's Nightmare is actually some of the evil influence from being near the Mani-Mani Statue so much, as the nightmare is stated as the "evil of his mind".  Alternatively, Ness's mind may simply be embodying his fears using the appearance of the statue.
