Pokey Pummel

Not to be confused with Pokey Punch-out.

Template:Minigame-infobox Pokey Pummel is a 4-Player minigame in Mario Party 7, Mario Party: The Top 100, and Mario Party Superstars.

Introduction

The players are standing in a desert when four Pokeys rise out of the ground. Hammers then appear in the players' hands.

Gameplay

The players must smack the Pokeys as fast as they can to send their segments flying; each segment takes five hits (three in Mario Party: The Top 100). The first player to knock away the head wins. In Mario Party 7, if no one completely smacks their Pokeys within 5 minutes, all players will perform losing animations and the minigame will end in a tie.

In Mario Party 7, this is one of the minigames that can appear in Decathlon Castle. Here, the player's objective is to knock out the Pokey's segments as fast as possible to earn as many points as possible, up to 1,000.

Ending

In Mario Party 7 and Superstars, as soon as one player finishes, the other Pokeys sink into the ground, and the winner celebrates; in Mario Party 7, the camera zooms in on them.
