Boss statues[1] (alternatively spelled Boss Statues),[2] also known as statues[3] or gold statues,[4] are objects in Mario Pinball Land. They are four big golden statues with keyholes appearing at the entrance to the Fiery Stage. The player has to insert a Star Key into each statue to be able to progress. After defeating a boss and obtaining a Star Key, the player can hit the keyhole of the statue of that boss to insert the Star Key into it. This causes a Red Switch to appear at the location where the boss was defeated. The player also receives 100,000 points. Boss statues for which the player has obtained the Star Keys visually shine. After using all four Star Keys, the boss statues turn in the direction of the gate, which opens. However, if the player has fewer than four Star Keys, using boss statues returns the player to the Fun Fair.
