A Pokey is an enemy in the Mario series. He first appeared in the NES classic Mario Bros 2 for the NES. Each Pokey has a certain amount of segments, usually with five, with the fith being his head. They are cactus enemies who will hurt anyone who touches it.

Ever since the species first appearance, they have appeared regularly in Mario platforms and even spinoffs. In Super Mario World, Mario or Luigi were able to destroy them by using a star man to ram into him, or letting Yoshi eat each of his segments one by one.

The species is also an obstacle in the Mario Kart series, usually in the desert levels. The following is a list of Mario Kart games where Pokey has appeared.

• Mario Kart: Double Dash!! - GameCube
• Mario Kart DS - Nintendo DS

In the upcoming Super Mario Galaxy, Mario will be able to kill him by tossing some fruit at him. Once you do all his segments will fall apart.
