== Trivia ==
*The Priceless Statue's name is a reference to a Queen's power in chess; unlike a King, a Queen has extreme mobility, making it one of the most powerful and valuable pieces on the board.
*The Priceless Statue and the [[Worthless Statue]], despite their names, share the same [[Poko]] value.
