He is the second boss of the game and appears in [[The Potted Ghost's Castle]] at the end 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. Roger's face is the same as those of [[Dangling Ghost]]s and [[Caged Ghost]]s, and he is amorphous like them. Roger can be defeated if [[Yoshi (species)|Blue Yoshi]] pushes him and his pot off of the right edge of the platform, though there are two green [[Shy Guy|Shy-Guy]]s that slowly push Roger in the opposite direction. To defend himself, Roger can lunge at Blue Yoshi, knocking him away, and breathes out blue flames which home in. When Roger is pushed far enough, the Shy-Guys topple over the edge too. | ||
In ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'', Roger and the other bosses from ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' make a cameo in the game's introduction. Additionally, there are enemies called [[Potted Ghost]]s, which vaguely resemble Roger, but are smaller and less malevolent. | In ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'', Roger and the other bosses from ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' make a cameo in the game's introduction.
