Scarecrow is a suave scarecrow who thinks himself to be very cool and handsome, and the second character to join Pocky's team. When thrown at a boss he creates a large stream of energy.

When using magic, he gains the ability to lift rock obstacles. He is a large and powerful man who attacks by hurling heavy spiked balls a short distance in front of him. Rocky was one of the main protagonists the original Pocky & Rocky.īomber Bob is one of Player 2's selectable characters. When magically possessed by Pocky, he gains the ability to find hidden treasures. Rocky the Tanuki (called a raccoon in English versions) is Pocky's friend and one of Player 2's selectable characters. Though dutiful and good-natured, her chaotic brand of teamwork frequently involves more pain than intended. She is a shrine maiden who attacks by throwing talismans and swinging a purification rod. Pocky is the main character, and is always controlled by player 1. This exploitation of player 2 is a notable departure from the previous game, in which player 1 and Player 2 had similar powers and were equally valuable. Additionally, she can throw her partner at enemies to attack, doing massive damage to the enemy but temporarily killing the thrown character. Using "magic," she can painfully force herself into her partner's mind and control their body for a short time, enabling unique abilities depending on who she possesses. Humorously, Pocky can use Player 2's character as a utility in various ways. If there is no second player, the supporting character will be CPU controlled. Player 2 assumes a supporting role as one of Pocky's friends each possessing a unique attack and unlimited lives. Pocky can pick up items to improve her attack power and new clothes to protect herself from damage, as well as throw player 2's character and use magic. Player one controls the main protagonist, Pocky, who attacks by throwing o-fuda talismans (referred to as "cards" in English versions).
