'''Sky-Blue Spinies''' (or '''S. Blue Spinies''') are variants of [[Spiny|Spinies]] that are found only deep underground, in the [[Pit of 100 Trials (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door)|Pit of 100 Trials]] of ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. They are thrown by [[Dark Lakitu]]s and can be found on floors 61-70 of the dungeon. They are stronger than normal Spinies and can [[Charged|charge]]. They can sometimes curl up and hide in their shell, making them impervious to any attack, even those that bypass defense.

They highly resemble Spinies, except instead of red, their shells are blue similar to the [[Spiny Shell (blue)|Spiny Shell]]s in the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series. Additionally, their skin is slightly darker like the [[Dark Lakitu]]s that throw them. This gives them a resemblance to [[Buzzy Beetle]]s, so much so that the German version of the game refers to them as "''Käfer-Stachis''", meaning "Buzzy Beetle Spinies". However, they lack the usual qualities of Buzzy Beetles, such as resilience to fire.

In the English version of the game, it is mistakenly stated that Dark Lakitu's Sky-Blue Spinies hatch from "pipes" in [[Goombella]]'s [[Tattle]] for both enemies. However, the supposed "pipes" which spawn Sky-Blue Spinies are actually regular blue Spiny Eggs. Their name is the result of a mistranslation: Spiny Eggs are referred to as ｢パイポ｣ ''Paipo'' in Japanese, which comes from [[Wikipedia:Jugemu|a well-known Japanese folktale]]<ref>"[http://legendsoflocalization.com/super-mario-bros/names/#the-eggs-too ''Super Mario Bros.'': Names]." ''Legends of Localization''. Retrieved April 22, 2015.</ref> but can also be interpreted (incorrectly, in this case) as an approximation of the English word "pipe" into Japanese [[Wikipedia:Katakana|katakana]]. Despite this mistranslation, ｢パイポ｣ ''Paipo'' is correctly translated as "Spiny Egg" elsewhere in the English text of ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'', namely with regard to the standard species of Spiny fought in the game.<ref>"''[http://legendsoflocalization.com/that-one-time-lakitu-started-throwing-pipes/ That One Time Lakitu Started Throwing Pipes]''."

'''Sky-Blue Spinies''' are variants of [[Spiny|Spinies]] that are found only deep underground, in the [[Pit of 100 Trials (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door)|Pit of 100 Trials]] of ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. They highly resemble Spinies, except with a cyan-blue coloring instead of red. Sky-Blue Spinies become Sky-Blue Pipes when they roll into a ball, and may be thrown by [[Dark Lakitu]]s. They are stronger than normal Spinies. They attack by charging.

*The blue color of the Sky-Blue Spinies makes them look a bit like [[Buzzy Beetle]]s with spikes. A relation to the Buzzy Beetles is stated in the German version of the game, where they are known as "Käfer-Stachis" ("''Buzzy Beetle Spinies''").
