-'''Spike Tops''' are [[Buzzy Beetle]]s with shells that are red and have a single spike projecting out of the top (hence the name), making them impossible to [[jump]] on. They are also still resistant to fire, which makes them one of the most resilient enemies in the ''Mario'' series. Their defining trait is the adhesive quality of their feet, which allows them to crawl along vertical and upside-down surfaces. Despite being a shelled enemy, in the platforming games, any effective method of attack will defeat them instantly instead of having them retreat into their shells.

 ====''Super Mario World''====
 [[File:SpiketopSMW.gif|frame|left]]
-Spike Top's debut appearance was in ''[[Super Mario World]]'', where they would crawl around the walls and ceilings of caves. They could only be destroyed by a [[Cape Feather]], [[Shell]], [[Super Star]], or by having [[Yoshi]] eat them. Yoshi could bounce off a Spike Top without ill effect to either creature jumped. They are distinct from Buzzy Beetles in that their eyes are visible and their shells are flatter. Instead of having four legs, as they do in all of their later appearances, they have six legs.
+Spike Tops are introduced in ''[[Super Mario World]]'', where they are commonly found in [[Vanilla Dome]] and crawl around the walls and ceilings of caves. The player can bounce off of them safely with a [[Spin Jump]] or with [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]. Defeating them with a cape swing in [[Cape Mario|caped form]] or by having Yoshi spit any other enemy that is not a [[Koopa Shell]] at them (possible in ''[[Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2]]'' if Yoshi is ridden by [[Luigi]]) yields 100 points, while [[sand cloud]]s from a Yoshi holding a [[Yellow Shell]] (or a Yellow Yoshi with any shell), shells thrown or spat out by Yoshi, and first contact with players rendered invincible by a [[Super Star|star]] rewards 200 points. Spike Tops are distinct from Buzzy Beetles in that their eyes are less obscured and their shells are flatter. Though their artwork depicts them with four legs, their sprite depicts them with six, though this trait would be corrected in their subsequent appearances.
 ====''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3''====
-Spike Tops appear in the [[e-Reader]] levels of ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', a [[Game Boy Advance]] remake of ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. In the game, they act as they did in ''Super Mario World''.
+Spike Tops, depicted with their original six-legged sprites from ''Super Mario World'', appear in ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. Three appear near the end of the [[World-e]] level [[Ice Dungeon]], walking around three floating octagonal platforms. Defeating them via tail whip from [[Raccoon Mario]] or [[Tanooki Mario]], a stomp from the Tanooki's [[Statue Mario|statue form]], hammers thrown by [[Hammer Mario]], and first contact with players rendered invincible by a [[Super Star|Star]] would give out 100 points.

They receive new sprites for their ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' appearances. A blue-shelled variant typically with cyan skin additionally appears, and crawls much faster than its red counterpart. [[Spiky Parabuzzy|Applying wings to one]] will have it fly in a straight line, similarly to a [[Para-Beetle]], except it will cause damage if stood on without a Goomba's Shoe or Yoshi. If a Spike Top is crawling on a slope or a [[One-Way Wall]], it can be defeated by stomping any area other than its back, given proper timing.

Buzzy''', likely standing for "Red Spike Buzzy") also appears in [[Glitzville]]. The blue Spike Tops can be found in [[Creepy Steeple]] alongside [[Buzzy Beetle]]s. Additionally, a winged variant called the [[Spiky Parabuzzy]] makes its debut in this game. Stomping it if the [[Spike Shield]] [[badge]] is equipped causes it to lose its wings and turns it into a Spike Top. All these species also make an appearance in the [[Pit of 100 Trials (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door)|Pit of 100 Trials]].

Once again, they cannot be stomped on unless using an [[Sticker (Paper Mario: Sticker Star)|Iron Jump sticker]] or if they are [[crumpled]]. Using an normal Jump sticker will cost Mario 3 [[HP]] even a [[First Strike]] as a jump. They can retreat in their shells if Mario uses a Iron Jump sticker. Their only method of attack is going into their shell and ramming into Mario and if Mario does not block this attack, he will not only take full damage but there is also a small chance that he may get [[dizzy]] which can cause his attacks to miss. Also, a sticker based on the Spike Tops' shell called the Spike Helmet can be used. In its artwork it shows that Spike tops have a nervous face but in the game they have a mad face much like the [[Spinies]] do. In this game Spike Tops have much more HP like most enemies do. They are very common in Chomp Ruins since they fight in group of 4 or 5.

+In battle, they can attack Mario by transforming into a shell and flying towards him. They can also retreat into their shell during their turn or if they are stomped on with an Iron Jump, after which they can be sent towards other enemies with another Iron Jump or a KO Hammer.
