'''Roger the Potted Ghost''',<ref> | '''Roger the Potted Ghost''',<ref>http://web.archive.org/web/20030402151900/http://www.nintendo.com/games/gamepage/artwork.jsp?gameId=1282</ref> or simply '''The Potted Ghost'''<ref>''Nintendo Magazine System'' (UK) issue 42, page 70.</ref> or '''Potted Ghost''',<ref>''Nintendo Magazine System'' (UK) issue 40, page 21.</ref> is the second boss of ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]''. He is located in [[The Potted Ghost's Castle]], the castle of [[World 2 (Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island)|World 2]]. Roger starts out as a lifeless [[vase|pot]], but is transformed by [[Kamek]]'s magic into a large ghost when the player enters the boss room. He is the only inanimate object that Kamek transforms into a boss. His face is the same as those of [[Dangling Ghost]]s and [[Caged Ghost]]s, and like them, he is amorphous. | ||
To defeat him, [[Yoshi (species)|Blue Yoshi]] has to push Roger and his pot over the right edge of the platform in the same manner as pushing a regular pot. This process is complicated by two green [[Shy Guy|Shy-Guy]]s that slowly push Roger in the opposite direction. Throughout the battle, Roger can lunge at Blue Yoshi, knocking him away. He also breathes blue flames which home in, forcing the blue dinosaur to stop pushing and get out of the way to avoid taking a hit. When Roger is pushed far enough, the Shy-Guys topple over the edge and do not return, allowing Blue Yoshi to push him the final distance without facing resistance from them. | |||
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', Roger the Potted Ghost | In ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'', he makes a cameo in the game's introduction, which briefly shows some of the bosses from ''Yoshi's Island''. Additionally, there are enemies called [[Potted Ghost]]s. They look vaguely similar to Roger, but are smaller and less malevolent. | ||
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', Roger the Potted Ghost appears as a support [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]] which grants resistance against strong winds. It is obtainable by winning his spirit battle or summoning it with the spirits of [[Shy Guy]] and [[Boo Mario]]. | |||

*'''Official Nintendo Player's Guide:''' ''Spirits like Bigger Boo and Roger haunt the forts and castles, clinging to rugged mountainsides in World 2. Roger looks mean and has frightfully bad breath, but isn't exactly fast on his feet. In fact, he has no feet. He has to rely on two Shy-Guys to push him around. Since he didn't let them go out for Trick-or-Treat last year, their team spirit is low.''<ref>Miller, Kent, and Terry Munson. ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' Player's Guide.
