Spiny: Difference between revisions

'''Spinies''' (singular '''Spiny'''; occasionally pluralized '''Spinys''', as in the ''[[Super Mario Adventures]]'' comic and ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'') are small, spine-shelled quadrupedal [[Koopa (species)|Koopa]]s with a menacing look that first appeared in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' They are often thrown by [[Lakitu]]s in unlimited supplies, but can also naturally occur. In the ''Super Mario Bros.'' games, Mario and other playable characters cannot defeat Spinies by [[jump]]ing on top of them due to their spines; they take damage instead. They can be defeated by [[fireball]]s, [[iceball]]s, [[Super Star]] invincibility, and [[POW Block]]s. They can also roll up into a ball called a [[Spiny Egg]], with its own unique properties.
