Tower Power Pokey, known as '''Paper Tower Power Pokey''' in-game, appears alongside a [[Big Pokey]] as one of the bosses in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]''. They are both encountered by Mario, [[Luigi]] and [[Paper Mario (character)|Paper Mario]] while travelling through [[Doop Doop Dunes]], where the Pokey duo attack a bridge that the trio are trying to cross, causing them to fall into the [[Doop Doop Dunes Grotto]]. Once the trio make their way through the grotto and launch themselves out via [[paper trampoline]], they find the Pokeys once again and proceed to battle them.

Tower Power Pokey is the only one of two ''[[Paper Mario (series)|Paper Mario]]''-exclusive characters to appear in ''Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam'', the other one being [[Sombrero Guy]]. It is seen wearing its Royal Sticker from ''Paper Mario: Sticker Star'', despite [[Paper Petey Piranha]] not also wearing his. The gem on top of the Royal Sticker has been replaced by an orange spike.

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 (Paper Mario: Sticker Star)|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. Instead of the usual "FIGHT!", the screen displays "PLAY BALL!" at the beginning of the battle, possibly giving the player a hint. The only time Mario can use his [[Big Shiny]] and [[Megaflash]] hammers is at the start of the battle using the [[Battle Spin]].

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 [[Heart Point|HP]] every time it uses this attack.

In battle, Paper Tower Power Pokey attacks by curling into a ball and attempting to roll into either Mario, Luigi or Paper Mario, and by hitting the segments of the Big Pokey towards the trio; both of these attacks must be countered using the group's [[Hammer]]s. Additionally, the Pokey duo also have a chase attack, where they will charge towards Mario and Luigi simultaneously, which the Bros. have to avoid by jumping over them at the correct time; holding onto Paper Mario's Paper Airplane form if they're being attacked by the Big Pokey, as Paper Tower Power Pokey will fold up before charging, allowing it to be simply jumped over. Once defeated, the trio continue onwards to [[Bowser's Castle]].

If the Big Pokey is defeated first, Paper Tower Power Pokey becomes furious and stronger, and vice versa. Once defeated, the trio continue onwards to [[Bowser's Castle]].

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 the orange Royal Sticker that covers a pink flower.

==Trivia==
*The words "Tower Power" seem to be off of the term "flower power", tower meaning very tall; and power meaning from the [[Royal Sticker]].
