Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyushutsu Dai Sakusen![edit]
Big Spinies about to start attacking Mario, Luigi, and Kibidango
Big-sized Spinies appear in the 1986 anime movie Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyushutsu Dai Sakusen!. A Lakitu appears right after Mario, Luigi, and Kibidango escape from a field of Piranha Plants. This Lakitu starts throwing Spiny's eggs at the ground surrounding the trio. The three laugh at the Lakitu for its poor aim. However, Lakitu pulls a lever in its cloud that emits rain and turns the eggs into fully-fledged Spinies. They close in on the group. However, this surrounding does not last long; a beanstalk grows beneath Mario, allowing Mario and his companions to escape. Before the Lakitu can escape, Mario grabs a piece of its cloud and makes it snow on the large Spinies, freezing them. When Mario returns to the earth, the Spiny group is gone.
Big Spinies appear in a single minigame, Sock it to Lakitu, once Lakitu's health is reduced by half. Lakitu will start throwing Big Spinies, which act the same way as normal Spinies in the boss fight, except that players hit by them will lose two points.
Super Mario Maker / Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS / Super Mario Maker 2[edit]
A single Big Spiny appears in Paper Mario: Color Splash as a mini boss in Kiwano Temple, where it guards a Mini Paint Star. In battle, it can charge up its attacks and fly at Mario to do damage. Swoops can assist the Big Spiny in battle if it is not flipped over.
Big Spinies are also found in Super Mario Run, first appearing in World 3-1: Big Spiny Blitz. They behave like regular Spinies from 2D Mario platformers.
