A Pokeynut[1] (originally referred to as a huge Pokey[2] or simply a Pokey[3]) is a type of Big Pokey that appears in Super Mario Galaxy, taking the standard Pokey design from contemporary games between Mario Kart: Double Dash!! and Mario Kart Wii. Pokeynuts attack by trying to crush Mario or Luigi while being held in place, similar to the Pokeys in Super Mario Sunshine. To defeat one, Mario or Luigi must spin a coconut into one to knock all of its segments down, then jump on its head to finish it off. Doing so makes a Launch Star appear. Only two Pokeynuts appear in the entire game. One appears on one of the tropic planets in the Good Egg Galaxy, and the other appears on one of another pair of planets in the Dusty Dune Galaxy. Its name is a pun on "Pokey" and "Coconut," in reference to how it is defeated.

NamingEdit
EtymologyEdit
The English name "Pokeynut" is a portmanteau between "Pokey" and "coconut." This name was first published on the English version of Mario Portal in 2022. Beforehand, most paratext for Super Mario Galaxy refers to this enemy as a "normal" Pokey. The English edition of the Super Mario Bros. Encyclopedia refers to the enemy as the "Big Pokey."[4] Because this enemy was lumped into the Big Pokey article on Super Mario Wiki prior to 2025, the application of this name in the encyclopedia is potentially a consequence of circular reporting.
Names in other languagesEdit
The contemporaneous name for each language is listed first. Subsequent names are listed in chronological order for each language, from oldest to newest, and have the media with which they are associated in the "notes" column. Names exclusive to localizations of the Super Mario Bros. Encyclopedia are not prioritized due to concerns about circular reporting, and are only listed first for their respective languages if they are the only ones available.
