Spiky Parabuzzy

A Spiky Parabuzzy, also parsed as S. Parabuzzy, is a combination of the traits of Para-Beetles and Spike Tops, being able to fly and being immune to jumps and fire.

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door
In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, they are mainly seen in the underground rooms in Riverside Station and midway through the Pit of 100 Trials, at around floors 41-49. Since they have both wings and a spiked shell, they cannot be jumped on and they cannot be attacked with hammers; due to them being a type of Buzzy Beetle, fire and explosion attacks cannot hurt them. Mario needs a Spike Shield, a Hammer Throw badge, or an item to attack them safely, as well as having a partner who can attack air enemies without touching the spike. Spiky Parabuzzies lose their wings when stomped with Spike Shield equipped, causing them to become regular Spike Tops.

Super Paper Mario
In Super Paper Mario, Spiky Parabuzzies appear on the Overthere Stair and in Castle Bleck. They often fly up and down, trying to block Mario's path near a pit. If the player uses Carrie, however, they will be able to step on them without getting hurt.

Super Mario Maker / Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS
Spiky Parabuzzies later appear in Super Mario Maker, Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS, where they can be produced by giving a Spike Top wings. If wings are applied, it will fly in a straight line, and jumping on them will cause damage, except if using a Goomba's Shoe or Yoshi. Like Para-Beetles, they fly upward whenever something lands on their shell, and depending on the style may or may not have visible limbs. Also, like their wingless counterparts, Spiky Parabuzzies with blue shells will move much faster than those with red shells.

Super Mario Maker 2
In Super Mario Maker 2, Spiky Parabuzzies appear with the same properties as in the predecessor.
