Their uses vary by game series - in platformers, they generally cannot be touched from above without damage, even when empty or the Spiny inside is unconscious, but when upside-down, empty, or in other series, they can serve as a usable item. | ||

Thusly, | In ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', Spiny Shells made their debut. Unlike future appearances, Spiny Shells still act as a hazard when upside-down, just as they do right-side up. Thusly, Spiny Shells cannot be picked up, thrown, or kicked, as [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] will still take damage if they touch them. Notably, in the [[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3|Game Boy Advance version]], immobile upside-down Spiny Shells are harmless, and can thus be handled safely. | ||

They retain their function in the first two minigames in ''[[Mario Party: The Top 100]]''. In the original version of Ice Rink Risk, they uncharacteristically have hexagonal plates making up the carapace instead of a smooth surface, despite the official artwork for said minigame showing otherwise. In ''[[Mario Party Superstars]]'', they reappear in Ice-Rink Risk. | ||

In ''[[Paper Mario]]'' and ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', Spinies use their shells to attack by lunging at Mario. Using a [[POW Block]] or [[Quake Hammer]] will flip them over, allowing Mario to jump on them and lowering their defense. In ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', Spinies will retreat into their shells to attack, and can also fall from the ceiling to attack from above. In ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'', there are pits in [[Kiwano Temple]] that are filled with [[Spike (obstacle)|spikes]] that resemble Spiny Shells. | In ''[[Paper Mario]]'' and ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', Spinies use their shells to attack by lunging at Mario.

In ''[[Paper Mario: The Origami King]]'', at [[Shangri-Spa]], a Spiny is spinning rapidly under a pile of leaves. When Mario destroys the leaves, the Spiny exits its shell and explains that it was trying to trim the leaves from the inside. | ||
