A Pointey from Yoshi's Island DS.

A Pointey[1] is a horsetail-like enemy in Yoshi's Island DS. They do not harm the player character, but are obstacles that extend from the ground to block the path and bounce them away on contact. Pointeys can be very tall or very short, and they can be defeated from either being stomped, an egg, or Baby DK's DK Dash Attack. They debut in the level Hit the M Blocks! According to a Message Block, they grow in the fields during spring.
