-'''Spiny Tromps''' are large, spiked orbs with a surly face; they resemble a circular [[Thwomp]]. Their name is likely derived from "trample", referring to their attacks, and "Thwomp". Though they are not named in their first appearance, ''[[Paper Mario]]'', they are later named in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. "Tromp" itself is also a slang word that can mean either "trample" or "ultimately destroy".
+'''Spiny Tromps''' are large, spiked orbs with a surly face; they resemble a circular [[Thwomp]]. Their name is likely a pun on the slang verb "tromp", meaning "to completely defeat someone", and "Thwomp". Though they are not named in dialogue in their first appearance, ''[[Paper Mario]]'', they are later referred to properly in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''.

-A Spiny Tromp appears in the ''Paper Mario'' adaption of ''[[Super Mario-Kun]]'' specifically in volume 26, but it also is the first chapter of the English-translated collection, ''[[Super Mario Manga Mania]]''. After Mario is energized from Sushie's water (which she claims is an energy drink), Mario runs toward it, only to get chased by a Spiny Tromp. It chases Mario, [[Goombario]], and [[Kooper]]. Kooper tries to stop it by trying to act like a dung beetle, by rolling it with his hind legs, but gets crushed. [[Sushie]], however blasts it with water, destroying it.
