In ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', Spinies make their first true appearance; They are always thrown by the [[Lakitu]]s. These Spinies are only able to be beaten by a [[Fire Flower]] or a [[Super Star|Starman]] as Mario will take damage if he tries to stomp on it. If they are hit from below, they will be bumped to the side like a [[Mushroom]], instead of being flipped over, like a [[Koopa Troopa|Koopa]]. Most levels that have a Lakitu-and-Spiny combination have many long staightaways with very few places to hide. These levels also usually have one or more very high blocks to [[jump]] on the Lakitu, thus stopping the Spinies for a time; though eventually, a new Lakitu will appear. Spinies can also fill some platforms forcing the player to wait for them to move to progress. When they hatch or land on ground, they will always face the direction of Mario or Luigi. In World 4-4, a Spiny is disguised as a Bowser Impostor. The only way to reveal its identity is by defeating it with fireballs. | In ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', Spinies make their first true appearance; They are always thrown by the [[Lakitu]]s.

Spinies reappear in ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]'', playing the same role as in ''Super Mario Bros.'' | Spinies reappear in ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]'', playing the same role as in ''Super Mario Bros.'' In this game, the Japanese version has a mistake, where killing [[Bowser]] at the end of [[World D-4]] will cause him to turn into a Spiny as if he were a [[Fake Bowser]], but this was fixed in the SNES remake. | ||
