The trip back down the mountain is relatively uneventful until you get near Pokey’s house. Unfortunately, before you can bring everyone to safety, Starman Junior appears and is your first major encounter. Of course, Pokey is useless in this fight and Picky only does minor damage. The only true players in this fight are Ness and Buzz Buzz.
