Mr. Moai, or Mister Moai (known as ミスターモアイ in Japanese), is an enemy in the Bomberman series. He is a large stone head.

Super Bomberman 2 / Super Bomberman 5
Mr. Moai moves slowly in a straight line until he collides with a block, bomb, or other enemy, at which point he pauses and then chooses a random direction and continues to move. He may choose to reverse directions even if he is not at a dead end. He will harm the player on collision. He is identical to Puff Puff except that he takes two bomb blasts to destroy and yields more points on destruction.
He appears in Castle Stage in Super Bomberman 2 and in the equivalent areas of Zone 2 in Super Bomberman 5.
Super Bomberman - Panic Bomber W
In Super Bomberman - Panic Bomber W, Mr. Moai appears in Kenya and is the second opponent faced in the stage. He quickly stacks blocks from right to left across his board, and frequently makes chains.
Trivia
- The Moai are large, head-shaped sculptures found on Easter Island. Mr. Moai's appearance on the Dastardly Bombers' ship is likely a reference to some conspiracy theories that the Moai were created by aliens.
- According to Super Bomberman - Panic Bomber W, Mr. Moai is good at soccer.
Unused sprites of Mr. Moai
- Unused sprites from Super Bomberman 2 indicate that Mr. Moai was originally intended to have some sort of extending tongue ability. It is possible that it originally had the ability to eat bombs, much like Namename.
- Moais are found recurringly in Konami games, this may be an easter egg of some sort.
