In ''Mother 3'' there is only one pencil statue in the game, being the one on the 100th floor of the [[Empire Porky Building]]. The Pencil Eraser is beside the statue and can be used to erase it, however it is mainly a novelty item as the statue is not preventing progress.

In Japan, the item is known as the '''Octopus Eraser''' which erases octopus statues. This is a play on a common phrase in Japanese gaming culture where if a player feels stuck with no way to advance, an octopus is blocking the path. Its English name is intended to be a pun on "pencil eraser", which refers to the eraser on a pencil, but is instead an item that erases pencils itself.
