The heading variety of Pokeys[1] is a type of enemy in the Yoshi's Island series. This variety's grounded segment bounces a smaller green Pokey on top of it. The heading variety of Pokeys first appears in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island and its reissue, and later appears in Yoshi's New Island. In every appearance, if a Yoshi defeats the Needlenose on a Pokey's head, the grounded segment frowns and lies down, becoming harmless. However, it produces another Needlenose shortly afterwards, and it resumes bouncing it. Pokeys cannot be defeated, with the exception of an Anywhere POW.
In Yoshi's New Island, the heading variety of Pokeys appear only in Underground Pokey Patrol.
Profiles[edit]
Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island / Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3[edit]
- Shogakukan guide: 根っから明るいサボテン野郎も、サンボを取りあげるとムスッとしてしまう。でも、すぐに気を取り直すから心配ない。[2] (Even the cactus guy, who is cheerful to the core, gets all sullen when you take away his Needlenose. But don't worry, he will soon compose himself.)
- Player's Guide: Pokey frowns and pulls in his needles when you grab his bouncing prickly ball. He's harmless then.[1]
- Shogakukan guide (Game Boy Advance version):
頭上 のサンボを食 べられるとムッとするが、すぐに次 のサンボが現 れる。本体 にさわってもダメージを受 けない代 わりに、倒 すこともできない。[3] (It is miffed when the Needlenose above its head is eaten, but another Needlenose soon appears. If you touch the main body, you will not be damaged, but you will also not be able to defeat it.)
Yoshi's New Island[edit]
- Shogakukan guide:
体 の一部 をヘディングしているサンボ。本体 にはトゲがあり、踏 んだり食 べたりできない。ヘディングで上空 に飛 ばされている部分 は、食 べるとタマゴになる。[4] (A Pokey with a heading on part of its body. The body has spines and cannot be stepped on or eaten. The part of the body that is flown into the air by heading becomes an egg when eaten.)
