| Long ago, Poobah was a greedy king who despite his wealth, desired to make one wish. Willing to pay any cost, he called a demon into his world. She was known as [[Terrormisu]]. The conditions for granting his wish were simple: he would have to starve his people to appease her. He agreed and set to the task of doing so, but soon he discovered that demons are not to be trusted. She stole everything he had and reduced his kingdom to rubble. His palace was transformed into a [[Poobah the Pharaoh's Pyramid|pyramid]] and sunk beneath the sand. Afterwards, the first [[Goodstyle|Cannoli]] later sealed Terrormisu into the [[Wishstone]] and scattered the fragments. One piece was said to be placed in the pyramid with Poobah himself and eventually the legend was distorted to the point that the story told that Poobah had used the Wishstone to make his wish. | | Long ago, Poobah was a greedy king who despite his wealth, desired to make one wish.

| After [[Sneezemore Cave]], [[Wario]] arrives in Poobah's pyramid, which had been buried over 5,000 years ago. After going through the pyramid, Wario finds the undead Pharaoh and fights him. After being defeated he confesses to Wario that he does not have the piece of the Wishstone. Despite that, Poobah is confident in Wario's ability to collect the Wishstones and defeat Terrormisu, and creates a portal to send Wario to the [[Ancient Waterworks]] to continue his search. | | After [[Sneezemore Cave]], [[Wario]] arrives in Poobah's pyramid, which had been buried over 5,000 years ago.

| ==Boss intro==
| |
| Once Wario collects two royal medallions for the [[royal gatekeeper]], Wario enters Poobah's room, ending up summoning the Pharaoh. After a long set of dialogue, the Pharaoh asks if Wario and Goodstyle if they are worthy for the Wishtstone. He then reveals his full body and the battle begins.

| | |
| ==Boss battle==
| |
| [[File:Poobah the Pharaoh battle.png|thumb|The boss battle against Poobah]]
| |
| Poobah first starts off the fight by making everything but his head disappear. His head will remain floating over Wario for a few seconds. After that, he will sneeze out a rock from one of his nostrils. If Wario touches the rock on contact, except for the top, he will take damage. Otherwise, he will destroy the rock by jumping on it. After Poobah sneezes out his rock, the top of his head will reveal an electric crystal ball similar to those that [[Cosmic Wario]] must shoot. Wario must shoot at the crystal ball to move on to the next part. After doing so, Poobah will remain still and two [[Sphinx Jr.]]'s and three [[K9 Cannon]]s will circle around the Pharaoh.
| |
| | |
| Wario must transform into [[Genius Wario]] and punch one of the Sphinx Jr.'s and K9 Cannons on the lowest level ground of the room at him. This will reveal his weak point, which is his underwear. Wario then has to change into [[Dragon Wario (Wario: Master of Disguise)|Dragon Wario]] and aim at his underwear to damage him. After this, he will walk towards Wario for a brief period of time, then use his nose hairs three times, increasing distance and the time that his nose hairs will be out for, then retract. Wario must repeat this process one more time to move on to the final phase of the boss battle.
| |
| | |
| In the final phase, not only will his body and underwear disappear, but his head will disappear as well. Wario has to turn into Genius Wario again, though this time, a hidden screen will appear on the top of his head, which must be punched as Genius Wario. The boss battle will then play out similar to the first phase of the fight, which must be repeated once to defeat him.

| | |
| ==Lost [[Treasure (Wario franchise)|treasures]]==
| |
| Poobah has three lost treasures that the [[Sphinx (character)|Sphinx]] asks [[Wario]] to retrieve in exchange for important information during [[The Sphinx Sits on a Secret!|Episode 3]]. They are stored inside purple [[treasure chest]]s.

| ==Trivia==
| |
| *The theme that plays while talking to the [[royal gatekeeper]] and the Pharaoh once woken up is the same one that plays in the Smithsnorian Museum while talking to the [[Sphinx (character)|Sphinx]].
| |
| *He and [[King Bask]] suffered a similar fate. Both were kings of Egypt-themed kingdoms ([[Kingdom of Bask]]) until they harnessed the power of demons ([[Lucien]]), which led to the downfall of both kingdoms and both demons were eventually sealed away in stones ([[Power Stone]]).
