Pokeys also appear in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', returning in [[Wii Dry Dry Ruins]] and acting similarly to their previous ''Mario Kart'' appearances. If a Pokey is tall enough, it periodically bends sideways like in ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'' In this game, drivers can remove a Pokey's segments individually by hitting them with an item or simply running into them, although they can respawn shortly afterwards; if drivers hit the Pokey's head, its whole body collapses. Pokeys give bonus points when taken out; even if the player strikes multiple segments at once, such as via a [[Bob-omb]] or [[Super Horn]], they only obtain bonus points for each use of that item on the Pokey. Most items and conditions, including boosting with a [[Dash Mushroom|Mushroom]], can be used to take out a Pokey.

In addition, a [[Mii]] Racing Suit based on a Pokey debuts in the [[Ninja Tour (2023)|2023 Ninja Tour]] as part of Wave 28 of the Mii Racing Suits. It has the [[Triple Bananas]] as its [[Special skill (Mario Kart Tour)|special skill]].

Although harmful at direct contact, they are passive to the player and only travel from one side of a platform to the other. Unlike [[Shy Guy]]s, who display the same behavior, Pokeys are taller, which makes them more difficult to avoid in certain situations but also prevents them from getting into narrow passages. They are always composed of three segments, one of which is their head. In all of their appearances, Pokeys can be defeated when struck by a [[hammer]].

While only [[Pokey (projectile)|Pokey]] [[Pokey (heading)|variant]]s appeared in previous [[Yoshi's Island (series)|''Yoshi's Island'' games]], regular Pokeys appear for the first time in the ''Yoshi'' series in ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]''. In this game, Yoshi can swallow individual segments to reduce the Pokey's height, or eat its head to fully defeat it, as in ''Super Mario World''. Upon eating a segment, Yoshi automatically ingests it and produces an egg without the player's input. A white variant of Pokeys also appears in [[Punkey the Pokey Prince's Castle]], which move along the ceiling rather than on the ground. As the stage name implies, a large white Pokey, [[Punkey the Pokey Prince]], is the boss of the stage.
