Whenever people bring up NSMBDS's unique Bosses they just mean Mummipokey they always mean Mummipokey (occasionally Lakithunder but Mummipokeys there too) and I can't blame them Mummipokey rocks look at them I'm not entirely sure why they have a Mouth like that but its sick

we here at occasionalmariosprite give Mummipokey a Thumbs up

Mummipokey (New Super Mario Bros.)

It's quite odd to see a Pokey with this completely unique face structure. They should've given this guy a bite attack.

Name: Mummipokey

Debut: New Super Mario Bros. 

Back before the Koopalings reigned supreme, we actually got a New Super Mario Bros game with totally new bosses! It’s kinda sad to think about, but that probably makes it the only 2D Mario to have distinct bosses for each world, except for maybe Mario 2.

But isn’t this wacky? It’s a Pokey, only mummified! I guess it makes sense in order to give the boss more of a desert theme, but it’s really nothing more than an undead cactus, and that’s ridiculous. Do Pokeys have religious burying rituals, or something? Oh, and I don’t even need to mention the void-eyes. You guys know the drill already.

A joyous discovery I just made: Mummipokey is called Sanbo Wāmu (Pokey Worm) in Japan, continuing the trend of random enemies being named after worms in different countries. I guess he does sort of look like a worm, but not any more than a regular Pokey!
