Spiked Fun Guy

Spiked Fun Guy is a type of Pokey which is a Tap-Tap lookalike. They inhabit the jungle levels of World 3 and castles in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island and infest the Torrential Maze and Jelly Pipe in Yoshi's Story. Unlike Tap-Taps, Spiked Fun Guys can be eaten and made into eggs. In Yoshi's Story, Spiked Fun Guys are purple; in Yoshi's Island, they're green (resembling cacti) and sometimes appear in pots, as Potted Spiked Fun Guys. They also can be killed by eggs.

Trivia

 * "Fun Guy" may be a corruption of "fungi," indicating that Spiked Fun Guys may be a type of fungus. However, in Japan, this is stated to be a type of Pokey.
