Punkey the Pokey Prince

"You can't *gasp*... You'll never *gasp*... enter Bowser's Castle! Jump into some thorns!"

- Kamek

Punkey the Pokey Prince is the boss of World 5 in the game Yoshi's New Island. He starts out as a normal Pokey, but is then enlarged with Kamek's hammer.

Punkey attacks by shooting Pokey projectiles out of the plant on his head and ramming into Yoshi. The player can hit him by hitting his segments with eggs in order when spikes are not protracting from them. When Yoshi hits his head, Punkey turns angry and starts drilling into Yoshi and eventually calms down but adds one more segment to his body. When hit once again, he adds a fifth segment and is defeated when an egg hits his head the once more.
