Pokey (toy)

Mini Pokeys are enemies from Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again!, first encountered at Magnet Mania in Room 3-3. Mini Pokeys are miniature versions of Pokeys that may actually be toys developed by the Mario Toy Company. When a yellow switch is activated, Mini Pokeys are transformed into three harmless and immobile blocks. They can only be defeated when struck by a hammer.

They reappear in the sequel, Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem! where they begin showing up in Super Skywheel. They will turn into blocks if they come in contact with transparent yellow squares. They also can be defeated if shot by a Mini in a cannon.
