Can't beat the mummified Pokey as Mini Mario in New Super Mario Bros. W2? This article will tell you how!

Steps

  1. 1
    First, watch where he pops out of the ground at the beginning of the battle. Also, try to avoid the boulders that he shoots out.
  2. 2
    The moment you see dirt moving in the ground, head in the opposite direction and wall-jump -- when you float directly above his head, ground pound your way down.
  3. 3
    Avoid being trapped in the corner while you wait for Mummy Pokey.
  4. 4
    If successful, do this two more times. But beware - Mummy Pokey moves faster as the battle progresses. Also, watch out if he sways his body- you might land on his spikes.
  5. 5
    Remember to move quickly and be precise about aiming.
  6. 6
    Once you beat him as Mini Mario, collect the key - it goes to W4 instead of W3.
  7. 7
    The mini mushroom will be found right when you go past the huge boulder with spikes in the desert. And then try to stay mini for the rest of the level.

Warnings

  • One hit, and you're dead (if Mini Mario, which you should be if you're reading this article).
  • Be precise. Be careful not to ground pound anywhere but his head. If you ground pound or touch his body you will die.

Things You'll Need

  • Nintendo DS (charged, in terms of the battery)
  • New Super Mario Bros. game card
  • Mini Mushroom
  • Survive the Castle up to the battle
  • Extra lives, if you plan on staying at the castle for a while and tend to lose a lot of lives in battle
