Spinies (Japanese トゲゾー Togezō) are four-legged creatures, first appearing in Super Mario Bros. They are often thrown by Lakitus in unlimited supplies, but can also be naturally occuring. The only way the player can defeat them is to shoot a Fireball at them, or run into them while being invincible from a Starman. Spinies are related to Buzzy Beetles, which are very similar, but do not have the spikes that give Spinies their name, but the Buzzies ARE impervious to fire. (more...)
