===Olimar's journal (Nintendo Switch)===
{{transcript|At first, this object looked impressive, but closer inspection reveals it's just a cheap statue. The figure looks like it's a little helpless on its own. Something to think about, I guess...|

=== Olimar's journal (Japanese) ===
* '''Text''': {{transcript|一見えらそうだが、よく見るとえらくなさそうな、ちょっとショボい形の石像。まるで今時の父親を表わしているかのようだ。少しシンパシーを感じる。}}
* '''Translation''': {{transcript|At first glance, this stone statue looks admirable, but upon closer inspection, it has a not-so-admirable, somewhat shabby shape. It seems to represent the fathers of today. I feel a little sympathy for it.}}

=== Sales pitch (Japanese) ===
* '''Text''': {{transcript|未知の惑星に栄えたとされる巨石文明。本当に実在した証拠が今ここに！遺跡マニアにはたまらない一品。（……かどうかは不明。でもいいはれば高く売れる。世の中そんなもんです。）}}
* '''Translation''': {{transcript|A megalithic civilization is said to have flourished on an previously unknown planet. Now here is the proof that it really existed! A must for archaeological site enthusiasts. (...Whether that is true or not is unknown. But if we insist, we can sell it for a high price. That's how the world works.)}}

=== Olimar's journal (Japanese, Nintendo Switch) ===
* '''Text''': {{transcript|一見えらそうだが、よく見るとえらくなさそうな、ちょっとショボい形の石像。まるで一人では何もできなそうなその形状。少しシンパシーを感じる。}}
* '''Translation''': {{transcript|At first glance, this stone statue looks admirable, but upon closer inspection, it has a not-so-admirable, somewhat shabby shape. Its shape makes it look like it can't do anything on its own. I feel a little sympathy for it.}}

==Trivia==
*The Worthless Statue's name is a reference to the King's role in chess; the King is arguably one of the weakest pieces on the board, as it has very little mobility and largely relies on the other pieces for protection. Olimar's notes on the Switch rerelease of {{p2}} reference this, noting that the piece "looks a little helpless on its own."
*In spite of their names, the Worthless Statue and [[Priceless Statue]] are worth the same amount of [[Pokos]].
