Tower Power Pokey

Tower Power Pokey is an enemy encountered in Paper Mario: Sticker Star and serves as the boss of World 2. Being the leader of the Pokeys, Tower Power Pokey is a massive Pokey who gained its size from the power of the Royal Sticker it has.

Paper Mario: Sticker Star
Tower Power Pokey was originally a normal Pokey residing at Drybake Stadium until Kamek placed a Royal Sticker on its head, transforming it into a powerful monster. Kamek then placed the Pokey onto the top of the stadium and cut the stadium into three tablet pieces and placed them in various places of the desert, in order to hide the Royal Sticker. One tablet piece was placed at Yoshi Sphinx, where Kamek attempts to stop Mario and Kersti from obtaining the tablet piece. Another piece was located at a hidden cavern at Drybake Desert and the last piece was found by a Toad living at the Damp Oasis.

After Mario and Kersti manages to find all the table pieces, they use paperization to restore the stadium into its original state, causing Tower Power Pokey to be unsealed from the paperization. Once Mario manages to reach the top of the stadium, where an audience of Mural Goombas, Mural Koopas and Mural Toads are watching, Tower Power Pokey hides under the stadium, showing only its Royal Sticker. When Mario attempts to grab the Royal Sticker, the Pokey suddenly pops out and reveals its segments. The Pokey subsequently battles Mario but first hides all of its segments then progressively shows all of its segments. With the help of his stickers, Mario manages to defeat the corrupted Pokey, causing it to drop the Royal Sticker. Kersti then remarks that Tower Power Pokey is an example of the immense power of the Royal Stickers.

In the ending parade, Tower Power Pokey reappears with all the other bosses corrupted by the Royal Stickers.

Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam
Tower Power Pokey appears again in Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam, where he is once again a boss and is named Paper Tower Power Pokey. He is fought alongside Big Pokey in Doop Doop Dunes, blocking the way to Bowser's Castle. Tower Power Pokey also wears the Royal Sticker he wore in Paper Mario: Sticker Star, though he is significantly smaller and his body is not sparkling.

Paper Mario: Sticker Star
In battle, Tower Power Pokey has a variety of attacks. It can use a spinning attack near the player that causes 2 damage for every revolution, with a total of five revolutions per attack. Tower Power Pokey may reveal some of its body segments from the sand, giving it substantial height. When Tower Power Pokey has one or more body segments revealed, it will attempt to topple onto the player for 7 damage. This attack can also give the player the Crumpled status effect. However, if it only has one or two body segments, the attack will miss. Using any Hammer sticker on Tower Power Pokey while its segments are revealed will cause Mario to take damage from the spikes. Sometimes, Tower Power Pokey may summon two green Pokeys in battle. Using a bat, toy bat, or newspaper sticker will attack all non-head body segments, rather than just one.

Once all the segments of Tower Power Pokey have been destroyed, it will resort to using its spinning attack. Occasionally, the boss can take off its crown to reveal its pink flower underneath. The Pokey will regain 10 HP every time it uses this attack.

The key to beating it is to use the baseball bat to damage each of its segments.

Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam
Tower Power Pokey appears as a boss alongside Big Pokey in Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam. He has an attack where he will roll into the players and the player must deflect it with their hammer.

Appearance
Tower Power Pokey looks like a normal Pokey in appearance and color, but due to the power of the Royal Sticker, it gains a noticeable sheen. Its eyes also become yellow, as for the other foes empowered by the Royal Stickers. Unlike the other Pokeys in the game, instead of having spikes on its head, the Tower Power Pokey dons an orange crown that covers a pink flower.

In Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam, Tower Power Pokey has a lot more spikes on its segment body, and now has spikes on its head.

Trivia

 * Instead of the usual "FIGHT!", the screen displays "PLAY BALL!" at the beginning of the battle, possibly giving the player a hint.
 * The words "Tower Power" seem to be off of the term "flower power", tower meaning very tall; and power meaning from the Royal Sticker.
 * Tower Power Pokey is the only enemy in Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam that has a Royal Sticker.
