—Spinia, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door

Spinias are green creatures made of thin, papery discs in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door and its Nintendo Switch remake. They commonly appear in Rogueport Underground prior to completing Chapter 5 alongside their later-found spiked version called Spanias. As their name suggests, they and their attacks are derived from "spinner". Spinias and Spanias are also found in floors 1-10 of the Pit of 100 Trials, which also features the very powerful Spunias. Two Spinias also appear in Chapter 3 where they help make up The Destructors, a Glitz Pit team who served as a replacement for Bandy Andy who had "retired". However, The Destructors exit the rankings when Bandy Andy comes back and takes their place.

Notes

Unused sprite from Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door
The unused Spinia with a hamburger bun.
  • Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door's data reveals what could possibly be another Spinia variant (seemingly a hamburger-themed one); this Spinia-like creature was supposedly going to be an ally of Luigi, as its sprite could be found next to those of Luigi's other partners.
  • In the Tattle Log of the Nintendo GameCube version of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, there is no space in between "HP" and "3" for Spinia.
