Mummipokey

Mummipokey is the second boss in New Super Mario Bros.. He is a five-segmented Pokey wrapped in bandages, giving it a mummified appearance, who is seen resting in the chambers deep below the Castle of World 2. When Mario (or Luigi) arrives in Mummipokey's resting chamber (where Bowser Jr. is waiting) the young Koopa proceeds to wake up the Mummipokey and escape leaving the plumbers to deal with the mummified beast.
== Battle ==
In this battle, Mummipokey will pop its head out of the ground at different places on the floor. The player will need to jump on its head three times, or hit it with 15 fireballs, or slide into it three times as Shell Mario in order to defeat it and gain access to World 3. To speed up your work, you can ground pound it, as this will do double damage, and whilst under the effects of a Mini Mushroom, this is the only way to inflict damage at all. However, if you can defeat it while you're Mini Mario, World 4 is unlocked.
The height of the Mummipokey will range from anything between one, two, and five segments, and the longer it is, the longer it will take to go back down again. Thankfully, included in the two to five segments is its head, because at five you're going to need to do a Wall Jump in order to hit it. However, if you can hit while its halfway down, and time it right, your job of a Ground Pound will be made significantly easier.
== Attacks ==
*Slime Ball: Mummipokey can spit slime balls that damage Mario.
*Dig: Unlike many other Pokeys, Mummipokey can dig underground and reappear where Mario has last stood.

== Trivia ==
*Mummipokey is possibly a Skellokey, an undead Pokey who happens to look rather similar to Mummipokey.
**It is also possible that Mummipokey is a Pokey Mummy, another undead Pokey with a similar name; however, he looks little like a Pokey Mummy.
*In Nintendo Power volume 203, one of the bosses is stated to be a "zombified sandworm," incorrectly suggesting Mummipokey to be one.
*The Mummipokey is the first major boss that is a species of Pokey. The second is the Tower Power Pokey from Paper Mario: Sticker Star.
