Mario Kart Wii
Spiky Topmen made a return appearance in Mario Kart Wii as part of an online tournament that took place between June 1st to June 9th, 2008. The tournament took place on a special arena known as Galaxy Colosseum, and involved knocking four Spiky Topmen off the edge using Triple Mushrooms.
That competition made a return for June 2009, but the player had to push a total of 6 Spiky Topmen off the stage.
