Stone Spike: Difference between revisions

'''Stone Spikes''' are a variant of [[Spike]]s that first appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. They are blue in color and have green hair (the opposite of the coloration of normal spikes). They are usually found in mountainous regions, throw spiked balls made out of rock directly below them.

Stone Spikes make their debut in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. Like normal Spikes, they can be defeated by any form of attack (though, like their normal counterparts, they cannot be jumped on while they are holding a spiked ball over their heads). Unlike normal Spikes, however, Stone Spikes only throw their spiked balls downwards, rather than forwards or backwards, with their projectiles briefly striking solid platforms before continuing their fall. A total of 11 Stone Spikes are found in [[World 6-1 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 6-1]], and another 11 are encountered in [[World 8-4 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 8-4]].

Stone Spikes reappear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'', and the [[Nintendo Switch]] [[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe|port]] comprised of both games. Starting from this game, their rocks are now colored dark brown. A total of 23 Stone Spikes are encountered in [[Dry Desert Mushrooms]] in [[Layer-Cake Desert]], while 13 are found in that level's equivalent in ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'', [[Stone Spike Conveyors]]. Finally, 20 of them are faced in the sixth special challenge, [[Nonstop Flight]].
