-'''Spiny Flip''' is one of [[Lakilester]]'s attacks in the game ''[[Paper Mario]]''. The effect is that he throws a [[Spiny Egg]] at one enemy. All the player has to do is align the cursor with the target. If he doesn't get this done the attack won't hurt the enemy. Spiny Flip is an initial attack and costs no Flower Points. The player can also press the A button to release it earlier.

+'''Spiny Flip''' is [[Lakilester]]'s default attack in the game ''[[Paper Mario]]''. It does not cost any [[Flower Point|FP]]. In order to execute the attack, the player must aim the cursor with the Control Stick ({{button|n64|Stick}}) at the enemy's hitbox within the time limit. Once the limit is up, Lakilester will throw a [[Spiny Egg]] at the cursor, either dealing damage to the enemy if the cursor was well-aligned, or missing in case the cursor was misaligned. The player can also press {{button|n64|A}} to preemptively finish the move. When successfully executed, Spiny Flip inflicts three points of damage to an enemy at Base Rank, four points at Super Rank, and five at Ultra Rank. Both it and [[Shell Toss]] are the only initial attacks from partners in the game that always avoid taking contact damage from the enemy.
