Pokipedes[1] are enemies that appear inSuper Mario Bros. Wonder. They are relatives ofWigglers that don boxing gloves and spiked helmets which cover all but their last segment. Pokipedes move along rails, punching everything in front of them, destroyingSnow Blocks in their path. They can be defeated by stomping on their single uncovered segment, hitting said segment with threefireballs, or by attacking them withElephant Mario's trunk.
Pokipedes have a red variant, theRed Pokipede,[2] which moves faster and is able to destroyHard Blocks as well. Both variants of Pokipedes can have between three and seven segments. They appear prominently inPokipede Pass, as well as in theSpelunking! Wiggler Race.
As avidshadowboxers, they are good at mitt-hitting.
