Spiny Flip

Spiny Flip is one of Lakilester's attacks in the game Paper Mario. The effect is that he throws a Spiny Egg at one enemy. All the player has to do is align the cursor with the target. If he doesn't get this done the attack won't hurt the enemy. Spiny Flip is an initial attack and doesn't cost any Flower Points. The player can also press the A button to release it earlier.

This attack is similar to Flurrie's Body Slam move from Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. Both action commands involve lining up the cursor with the circle.

Trivia

 * This attack uses the aiming cursor and sound effects from Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island heard whenever Yoshi aims an Egg at an enemy.
