In ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'', Big Pokeys appear as obstacles alongside normal-sized Pokeys in [[Dry Dry Desert (GCN)|Dry Dry Desert]]. They are positioned in place and put their head on the ground at regular intervals, forming a hoop shape that the racer can drive through. They do not appear in the ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' rendition of the course.

In ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', a single Big Pokey appeared in [[Thwomp Desert]] exclusively in the tournaments of October 2008 and September 2009. The players had to battle the Pokey, which was located at the center of the course, using [[Bob-omb]]s to attack it; running into any part of the Pokey would stun players for several seconds and players will also get knocked away as if they were hit by a [[Bullet Bill]], and as it got damaged, body segments would move around.
