Super Mario series[edit]

  • Instruction booklet:
    Lakitu's pet. You can't defeat him by jumping on top of him. 200 Pts.[3]

New Super Mario Bros. Wii[edit]

  • Trading Card description: These four-legged enemies have a prickly personality. When being thrown by Lakitu or just hanging out alone, these spiky villains have a great defense armor. Do not stomp on them or you will get hurt! You can use Yoshi, fire, or ice power to get them out of the way. Sometimes they like to slide on their shell upside down—this is your opportunity to stomp!

Card Number: 30

Super Mario Run[edit]

  • Notebook bio: This sharp enemy is no good for hugs. Spinies in the desert are a bit bigger too...

Tattle That's a Spiny. Basically a spike-covered Koopa. Ugh! Looks painful! Max HP is 3, Attack is 3, and Defense is 3. These things have such high Defense that you can't even hurt them when they roll up. So, when they go back to normal, do all the damage you can, and do it quickly! If you flip them over, their Defense drops to 0. THAT'S the time to take them out. Jumping on them is just plain stupid, so try using a POW Block or some other item.

A particularly stubborn breed of Koopa. Lakitus chase Mario aboard clouds and attack by throwing Spiny Eggs down from above. More recently, Lakitus have taken over the role of cameramen, filming with cameras that they dangle from long rods. Spinies are Koopa creatures with tough, spiked shells. Jumping onto them has no effect, but fireballs can dispatch them. (American English)

One of Bowser's minions. This cloud-riding turtle and general nuisance to Mario made his debut as a playable character in Mario Kart 7. In this game, you can summon a pixellated Lakitu who'll throw Spiny Eggs that will turn into Spinies – beasties with red, spiky shells – when they hit the ground. (British English)
