Spiny Cheep-Cheeps debuted in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. In the game, they only appear in one level: [[World 7-4 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|World 7-4]]. They swim faster than normal Cheep-Cheeps, though they can sometimes be seen swimming slowly as well. They also swim both left and right. They can be defeated using [[Hammer Mario]]'s hammers, [[Fire Mario]]'s [[fireball]]s, or by [[Invincible Mario]]. In the original, they are black with a white underside and green lips, and have eyes looking upwards and visible teeth; in remakes, they are a dull blue with a salmon-colored underside and lips a slightly lighter shade than those of the average [[Cheep Cheep|Cheep-Cheep]], their eyes look straight, and they have a toothless, circular mouth.

Another pufferfish version of this enemy<ref>Shogakukan. 2015. ''Super Mario Bros. Hyakka: Nintendo Kōshiki Guidebook'', pages 128 and 160.</ref> appears in the game ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. They are quite rare, as only two appear, specifically in the [[Drip Drop Galaxy]], hidden in underwater chests. When released, they will puff up and start swimming at a fast pace towards Mario, but only move in a straight line. After a short period, they disappear. Their tail fins resemble balloon nozzles in this game.

Spiny Cheep Cheeps also appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', where they first appear early in [[World 1-5 (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 1-5]]. They behave the same way and have the same appearance as in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'', except they have an angry look on their faces by default now.

Spiny Cheep-Cheeps appear in ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' episode "[[Recycled Koopa]]". When [[Bowser|King Koopa]] uses his [[Crud Cannon]] to dump [[Koopa trash|his garbage]] all over [[New York City]] and turn humans into [[Koopa Zombie]]s, some of the garbage fired by the cannon lands in the East River, mutating a school of fish into Spiny Cheep-Cheeps. Most episodes depict them as red, instead of their game color, and having yellow, sharp teeth.
