Some leave behind a Blue Coin when defeated jumping on these while upright yields two regular coins in addition. If Mario defeats a Pokey while it is upright, it yields three coins instead of one. However, as they touch the ground, their spikes get stuck in it for a moment, allowing Mario to attack their heads with a jump or dive for a single coin. They do not move from their spot but will lean towards Mario when he gets within their range to attack him. They predominantly appear in Bianco Hills, but they also appear in Pianta Village, during the nighttime episodes, and in Pinna Park, in The Wilted Sunflowers. Pokeys lie in wait underground, with only the flower on their head visible at first, and will pop up when Mario approaches. In this game, they have flowers on their heads, large mismatched eyes, wide grins high on their faces, and spikes that somewhat resemble stubble. Pokeys, also called Dango Flowers, appear in Super Mario Sunshine along with a smaller variety called Sanbo Heads.
They are now capable of turning, but graphically, they still use flat textures for their segments. Yoshi also has the ability to swallow Pokeys. In Super Mario 64 DS, the Pokeys' graphics are updated to reflect their design as seen in Mario Kart: Double Dash!! However, jumping on their heads now damages Mario instead of defeating the Pokeys, and therefore only punches and kicks can defeat them. Due to their graphics being flat textures, Pokeys always face the camera in this game.
If Mario gets hit by a Pokey, he will lose two wedges of health. If Mario waits too long after destroying any of its segments, the Pokey will grow them right back. Here, Mario can destroy each body segment by punching it, kicking it, or throwing a Bob-omb at it attacking the head defeats it and causes the whole body to instantly disappear. Pokeys in this game have bright orange pupils. įour Pokeys (once referred to as Pookies) appear in Shifting Sand Land in Super Mario 64 and its remake.
2 design of the Pokeys was originally going to appear in this game, but was scrapped in favor of the yellow-colored design. Pokeys appear in a hidden area of Yoshi's Island 4, as well as the Special Zone level " Groovy." Also, in Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2, after the player completes the Special Zone and unlocks all of the exits, Pokeys will turn into gray creatures with a face on each body segment, which are serrated like Chainsaws. Without Yoshi, Pokeys will only have three segments so that Mario and Luigi can jump over them. If they are, Pokeys will have five body segments. The number of body segments that Pokeys have depends on whether Mario and Luigi are riding Yoshi or not. Another option is to defeat them with Yoshi, who can eat their body segments one at a time. Mario and Luigi can also defeat a Pokey by sliding up or down a hill towards them. Throwing a shell or a Grab Block at them defeats only one segment, although a Super Star will allow the player to defeat them entirely at once. This time, Pokeys are yellow and cannot be defeated in the same way as in Super Mario Bros.
