Pokey

Pokey is a recurring cactus-like enemy in the Super Mario series, first appearing in Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic, and later introduced to the Mario franchise as part of Super Mario Bros. 2. They typically consist of several spherical body segments covered in spikes. Pokeys were initially green but usually appear yellow since Super Mario World, sometimes with a flower or spikes on their head. They're commonly found in desert areas and slowly chase after the player. They can be defeated in various ways, such as jumping on them, throwing objects, or using character-specific abilities. Various Pokey variants exist, such as Snow Pokeys or Poison Pokeys. Kamek is Bowser's advisor and a high-ranking member of his army, serving as a significant antagonist in the Super Mario series.
