In ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', a single Big Pokey appeared in [[Thwomp Desert]] exclusively in the tournaments of October 2008 and September 2009. The players had to battle the Pokey, which was located at the center of the course, using [[Bob-omb]]s to attack it; running into any part of the Pokey would stun players for several seconds, and as it got damaged, body segments would move around. | In ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', a single Big Pokey appeared in [[Thwomp Desert]] exclusively in the tournaments of October 2008 and September 2009.

In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'', Big Pokey appears as a boss in [[Doop Doop Dunes Grotto]] alongside [[Tower Power Pokey]]. In battle, it attacks by lying sideways and rolling forwards and backwards, an attack which can potentially damage Mario, Luigi, and [[Paper Mario (character)|Paper Mario]] based on how many segments the Big Pokey currently has. Destroying the Big Pokey's segments will deplete its range, although it can grow these segments back if Paper Tower Power Pokey has more. The only way to defeat Big Pokey is by attacking its head. | In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'', Big Pokey appears as a boss in [[Doop Doop Dunes Grotto]] alongside [[Tower Power Pokey]].
