====''Super Mario 64'' / ''Super Mario 64 DS''====

When [[Bowser]] takes over [[Princess Peach's Castle]] in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' (and in the remake, ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''), Spinies make another appearance, albeit a rather rare one. They can only be found thrown by a Lakitu in [[Tiny-Huge Island]] and [[Rainbow Ride]]. When these Spinies are released by a Lakitu, they bounce twice and then start walking around slowly. Spinies can survive underwater if lured there, but a Spiny Egg deployed underwater will not hatch.

====''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''====

[[File:SpinyNSMBW.png|frame]]

Spinies, along with [[Lakitu]], re-appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. Spinies can also be frozen via the [[Penguin Suit]] and [[Ice Mario]], and, unlike other spiked enemies, they will stay frozen until they break free. Spinies behave in a very similar way to their ''New Super Mario Bros.'' appearance, except they no longer change direction at the sound of the "bah" vocals. [[Yoshi]] can't eat Spinies, but he can grab them with his tongue and spit them out at other enemies, just like [[Koopa Troopa]]s. Yoshi can also jump on Spinies without getting hurt.

====''Super Mario Galaxy 2''====

While they do not appear in the first ''Super Mario Galaxy'', they were in [[Super Mario Galaxy 2|the sequel]], mainly in the [[Yoshi Star Galaxy]] and the [[Starshine Beach Galaxy]], among others. They are normally seen idly walking around, though when Mario gets near them, they will attempt to hurt Mario by ramming into him. If the player touches a Spiny with Yoshi's tongue, it will turn into a [[Spiny Egg]]. The player can then use Yoshi's tongue to grab the Spiny and hold it in Yoshi's mouth, after which Yoshi can spit it back out to attack other enemies.

====''Super Mario 3D World''====

Spinies return in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]''. Like in ''Super Mario 3D Land'', Spinies are not thrown by Lakitus and are not as common as they were in ''Super Mario 3D Land''. However, they are much faster than they were in said game and in ''Super Mario Galaxy 2''.

====''Super Mario Odyssey''====

Spinies reappear as enemies in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', where they are found in the [[Luncheon Kingdom]], the [[Snow Kingdom]],<ref>AdallahSmash026. (October 26, 2017).

They cannot be captured, and are instead knocked backwards when Mario throws Cappy at them.

====''The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!''====

Spinies make a very brief appearance on the ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'', in the episode "[[Mario and the Red Baron Koopa]]". King Koopa orders Lakitu to throw several Spiny Eggs down to the people of [[Pasta Land]], which hatch into Spinies, and terrorize the people for a short time. The Spinies seen in this episode were fairly similar to their game appearance. Another Spiny (only one) appears later in the continuation of the show.

===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===

Spinies appear in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', where Lakitu, as an [[Assist Trophy]], throws them to the ground in their 8-bit form. They walk around and launch players straight into the air. If a character is hit in midair, however, he or she will be thrust directly downward. When the Spinies reach an edge, they fall off.

====''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''====

Spinies reappear in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. Just like in ''Paper Mario'', an effective way of defeating them is to use a Hammer or an item. However, in this game, Spinies are able to curl themselves into a ball and stay there, making them impervious to all attacks. Spinies and a Lakitu are a fighting team in the [[Glitz Pit]], known as [[Spike Storm]]. Also, the [[Dark Lakitu]]s found in the [[Pit of 100 Trials (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door)|Pit of 100 Trials]] throw [[Sky-Blue Spiny|Sky-Blue Spinies]]; which are merely more powerful Spinies.

====''Paper Mario: Sticker Star''====

Spinies reappear in ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]''. Unlike previous ''Paper Mario'' games, they more closely resemble their main series' appearance. They only appear in World 1 and 2, and in one area of [[Whammino Mountain]], they are thrown by a [[Lakitu]]. Later in the game, [[Cheep Cheep]]s have the same amount of HP that Spinies have. Spinies cannot be jumped on unless an Iron Jump Sticker is used. If Mario jumps on the Spinies, he takes 5 damage. Also unlike other games, they cannot be flipped over with a POW Block. Spinies are very annoying enemies in this game due to their fast speed. They attack by Ramming into Mario while having them turn around backwards. They are also capable of throwing off the players timing by [[trip]]ping while leaning forward and throwing themselves at Mario while spinning. It may even give the [[dizzy]] status effect to Mario. Due to their speedy attacks they are uncommon in this game.

====''Paper Mario: Color Splash''====

Spinies return in ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'' with the same appearance they had in the previous game. They first appear in [[Daffodil Peak]]. [[Jump]] cards, except for Iron Jumps and Spin Jumps, can't be used on them. However, they can be flipped over with a POW Block unlike in ''Paper Mario: Sticker Star''. They attack Mario by going into their shell and launching themselves towards him, similar to a [[Koopa Troopa]]'s attack. Spinies first appear in [[Daffodil Peak]]. They also appear in [[Sunglow Ridge]] and [[Kiwano Temple]]. A large group of Spinies fall from the ceiling after using a POW Block in Kiwano Temple, and a [[Super Star]] can be used to take them out without battling them.

===''Mario & Luigi'' series===

====''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga''====

In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'', Spinies appear in the [[Beanbean Castle Sewers|sewers]] of [[Beanbean Castle]]. However, instead of their traditional appearance, they have green shells, yellow spikes, and a white shell lining. A Spiny can attack by approaching Mario or Luigi and then doing one of two things: simply running into him or entering its shell and spinning into him. Either attack can be countered with Mario or Luigi's hammer. The Spinies' defense is comparatively a lot higher than the enemies before them. Jumping on them does not work due to their shells, meaning that using either the [[Hammer|hammer]]s or the [[Firebrand]]/[[Thunderhand]].
