'''Spike Tops''' are [[Buzzy Beetle]]s with shells that are red with 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'' franchise. Their defining trait is their ability 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.
'''Spike Tops''' are [[Buzzy Beetle]]s named for the single spike on top of their red shells, making them resemble a {{wp|Pickelhaube}} helmet. Due to their immunity to fire and the feature that makes it unsafe to jump on them, Spike Tops are among the more resilient enemies in the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]]. Their defining trait is their ability 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.

Spike Tops are introduced in ''[[Super Mario World]]'', where they crawl around the walls and ceilings of caves. They can be destroyed only by a [[Cape Feather]], [[shell]], or [[Super Star]] or by having [[Yoshi]] eat them. Yoshi can also bounce off a Spike Top without taking damage. Spike Tops are distinct from Buzzy Beetles in that their eyes are less obscured and their shells are flatter. Instead of having four legs as they do in later appearances, their sprites appear to show them with six legs, though their artwork depicts them with four.
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 ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' in the [[World-e]] level [[Ice Dungeon]]. 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.

Spike Tops return in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', with the same behavior from ''Super Mario World''. A Shell, Starman, or [[Mega Mushroom]] can defeat them, as can hitting a block one is on. They only appear in [[World 5-2 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 5-2]], {{world-link|6|towern|World 6-Tower 2 (New Super Mario Bros.)}}[[World 6-Tower 2 (New Super Mario Bros.)|2]], and {{world-link|8|towern|World 8-Tower (New Super Mario Bros.)}}.
Spike Tops return in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', with the same behavior from ''Super Mario World'', albeit with their current design, that of a proper four-legged red-shelled Buzzy Beetle with a single spike.

They also appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', mostly in [[World 2-3 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 2-3]]. They can be defeated by a [[Super Star|Star]], [[Shell]], hitting a block from below with the Spike Top on top of it, or [[Ground Pound|Ground Pounding]] the block with the Spike Top on the bottom. Additionally, Spike Tops can be frozen by ice balls and used as weapons against other enemies.

Through hacking methods, it is also shown that Yoshi can completely eat Spike Tops, as well as safely bounce off of them, a behavior that was later carried over to ''Super Mario Maker''.

Spike Tops reappear in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'', ''[[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'', using the same behaviors as in previous games. They can be used in the four original  styles, but are absent from ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]''. 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.

In ''[[Paper Mario]]'', Spike Tops appear as enemies in [[Mt. Lavalava]]. They are much more like Buzzy Beetles in that they can be flipped over, are resistant to fire and explosion attacks, and attack by [[Shell Toss]]ing. Appearance-wise, Spike Tops sport "angry" eyebrows to contrast from Buzzy Beetles, who have a more docile look about them.

In ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', Spike Tops usually have blue shells, though a red-shelled variant known as a '''Red Spike Top''' (also called an '''R. S. 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]].

The American version of ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'' mistakenly claims that the Defense stat for the red version of Spike Tops as being 5 instead of 4. This mistake was not present in the Japanese version and was corrected in the European version.

They attack Mario by transforming into a shell and flipping towards him. When they take enough damage, they transform into a shell, though some attacks can defeat them before they go into their shell.
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. Ally Spike Tops summoned via Enemy Cards use a Shell Shot attack, damaging all grounded enemies for 22 damage and making them dizzy. Both ally and enemy Spike Tops are immune to fire and jump attacks due to their shell.
