Spiny R

Spiny Rs are enemies that can be found in the Dreamy Neo Bowser Castle in Mario & Luigi: Dream Team. They can also be summoned by a Lakitu R.

Spiny Rs can sometimes cause the DEF Down status ailment if they harm Mario. One of their attacks involves a group of them jumping before attacking while the others remain stationary. Mario must move around and jump over the Spiny R's that were stationary before the attack. Otherwise, the jumping Spiny R will damage Mario. An alternative attack involves a Spiny R marching towards Mario, with some others following. Mario must hit the lead Spiny R with his hammer and hit it again when all of the following Spiny R's line up with each other. If the player does not hit one or more Spiny R's, they will hide in their shell and damage Mario with their spikes. This process can be repeated one or more times depending on the number of Spiny R's on the battlefield. Spiny Rs have a weakness, using the hammer makes them get flipped over and Mario should jump on them.
