'''Spinies''' are porcupine enemies in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''. They have brown fur and pointed black and white quills. This protects them from both rear and jumping attacks. If [[Diddy Kong]] and [[Dixie Kong]] attempt either type of attack, they get injured. The Kongs can defeat a Spiny by rolling into its exposed front, throwing an object at it, or by jumping on it with either [[Rambi the Rhino|Rambi]] or [[Rattly the Rattlesnake|Rattly]]. [[Team up]] can also defeat a Spiny, regardless of its quills. A [[Klampon]] sometimes accompanies a Spiny, such as in [[Castle Crush]]. Klampons are the opposite of Spiny in that they cannot be defeated from roll attacks, but are vulnerable to jumps.


'''Spinies''' are porcupine enemies found in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. They are invulnerable to rear attacks or a stomp because of their pointy quills, but a frontal attack will quickly dispose of them. Occasionally, they are seen with a [[Klampon]] in front, "bodyguarding" them, as Klampons are kind of the opposite of Spiny (invulnerable to front attacks, but vulnerable from top).
In ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'', Spinies appear in [[Glimmer's Galleon (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Glimmer's Galleon]], [[Hornet Hole (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Hornet Hole]], [[Ghostly Grove (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Ghostly Grove]], [[Gusty Glade (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Gusty Glade]], [[Parrot Chute Panic (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Parrot Chute Panic]], [[Windy Well (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Windy Well]], [[Castle Crush]], [[Jungle Jinx (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Jungle Jinx]], and [[Fiery Furnace (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Fiery Furnace]]. In ''Donkey Kong Land 2'', they appear in [[Hornet Hole (Donkey Kong Land 2)|Hornet Hole]], [[Ghostly Grove (Donkey Kong Land 2)|Ghostly Grove]], [[Gusty Glade (Donkey Kong Land 2)|Gusty Glade]], [[Parrot Chute Panic (Donkey Kong Land 2)|Parrot Chute Panic]], and [[Windy Well (Donkey Kong Land 2)|Windy Well]].


Spinies also appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''. There is no real difference between the Spinies of this game and the ones found in ''Donkey Kong Country 2''.
A similar enemy, known as [[Bristles]], appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''.


Even though they are immune to jump attacks, Spinies can also be defeated by teaming up and throwing [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] or [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] at them. And although their quills prevent jumping, [[Rambi the Rhino|Rambi]] and [[Rattly the Rattlesnake|Rattly]] can jump off one harmlessly.
