Spike first appears in the film at [[Punch-Out Pizzeria]], where he mocks the brothers (calling them the "Stupid Mario Brothers") after the airing of their first commercial, scoffing at the idea that the Mario Bros. will succeed on their own and telling them that their plumbing business will fail; when Mario stands up to him, Spike threatens him physically before leaving. When Mario gets flung back into Brooklyn due to the [[Banzai Bill|Bomber Bill]] exploding in the [[Warp Pipe]], Spike nearly runs over Mario and is shocked to see him land right in front of his van before he starts to yell at him for nearly damaging his vehicle, only to run away when other objects from the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] begin appearing. He is later seen among the panicking civilians when [[Bowser]]'s army invades New York and is saved by Luigi while being attacked by Bowser’s minions, much to his shock. After the final battle between the brothers and Bowser in Brooklyn, Spike is the one who starts up the cheers for Mario and Luigi, finally calling them "the Super Mario Brothers". | Spike first appears in the film at [[Punch-Out Pizzeria]], where he mocks the brothers (calling them the "Stupid Mario Brothers") after the airing of their first commercial, scoffing at the idea that the Mario Bros. will succeed on their own and telling them that their plumbing business will fail; when Mario stands up to him, Spike threatens him physically before leaving.

A fictional testimonial on the [[ | A fictional testimonial on the [[SMBPlumbing.com]] website is attributed to Spike, who goes by the username '''SpikeIsCool'''. Spike does not directly address the [[Super Mario Bros. Plumbing]] company itself, to which the website pertains, instead directing the testimonial towards the Mario brothers, who operate the company; in it, he is bitter and critical, stating, with many spelling and grammatical errors, that the brothers used to work for him until they left to start up their own business. He ends the testimonial by threatening that they will "learn their lesson someday."<ref>[https://www.smbplumbing.com/testimonials/ SMB Plumbing | Testimonials]</ref> | ||
