In ''Paper Mario: Sticker Star'', Tower Power Pokey was originally a normal Pokey residing at [[Drybake Stadium]] until [[Kamek]] placed a [[Royal Sticker]] on its head, transforming it into a powerful monster. Kamek then placed the Pokey onto the top of the stadium and cut the stadium into three tablet pieces and placed them in various places of the desert, in order to hide the Royal Sticker. One tablet piece was placed at [[Yoshi Sphinx]], where Kamek attempts to stop [[Mario]] and [[Kersti]] from obtaining the tablet piece. Another piece was located at a hidden cavern at [[Drybake Desert]] and the last piece was found by a [[Toad]] living at the [[Damp Oasis]].

 

 

 

 

In battle, Tower Power Pokey has a variety of attacks. It can use a spinning attack near the player that causes 2 damage for every revolution, with a total of five revolutions per attack. Tower Power Pokey may reveal some of its body segments from the sand, giving it substantial height. When Tower Power Pokey has one or more body segments revealed, it will attempt to topple onto the player for 7 damage. This attack can also give the player the [[Crumpled]] status effect. However, if it only has one body segment, the attack will miss. Using any [[Hammer]] [[Sticker (Paper Mario: Sticker Star)|sticker]] on Tower Power Pokey while its segments are revealed will cause Mario to take damage from the spikes. Sometimes, Tower Power Pokey may summon two green Pokeys in battle. Using the [[Bat (Thing)|Bat]], [[Toy Bat]], or [[Newspaper]] sticker will attack all non-head body segments (unless the attack is used with three or less segments), rather than just one. Instead of the usual "FIGHT!", the screen displays "PLAY BALL!" at the beginning of the battle, possibly giving the player a hint. The only time Mario can use his [[Big Shiny Hammer|Big Shiny]] and [[Megaflash Hammer|Megaflash]] hammers is at the start of the battle using the [[Battle Spin]].

Tower Power Pokey looks like a normal Pokey in appearance and color, but due to the power of the Royal Sticker, it gains a noticeable sheen. Its eyes also become yellow, as for the other foes empowered by the Royal Stickers. Unlike the other Pokeys in the game, instead of having spikes on its head, the Tower Power Pokey dons the orange Royal Sticker that covers a pink flower.

 

In ''Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam'', Tower Power Pokey has a lot more spikes on its segment body, and now has spikes on its head.
