Roger the Potted Ghost is in a flower pot being pushed by two green Shy Guys. They'll try to push you of the edge of the platform. Push Roger's pot to the right off the edge, duck when he lunges at you, and run from the blue fireballs he spits.

Roger the Potted Ghost,[1] or simply The Potted Ghost[2] or Potted Ghost,[3] is a boss in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. He is the second boss of the game and appears in The Potted Ghost's Castle at the end of World 2. Roger starts out as a lifeless 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 Ghosts and Caged Ghosts, and he is amorphous like them. Roger can be defeated if Blue Yoshi pushes him and his pot off of the right edge of the platform, though there are two green Shy-Guys 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 Ghosts, which vaguely resemble Roger, but are smaller and less malevolent.

In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Roger the Potted Ghost is featured as a support spirit which grants resistance against strong winds. The spirit is obtainable by winning his spirit battle or summoning it with the spirits of Shy Guy and Boo Mario.
