They can be defeated by [[fireball]]s, [[iceball]]s, [[Super Star]] invincibility, and [[POW Block]]s. They can also roll up into a ball called a [[Spiny Egg]], with its own unique properties.

==Appearance==

Spiny's appearance is similar to a [[Spike Top]], which is another variant of Koopa, or more closely, [[Buzzy Beetle]]. This is due to their red shells with spikes on top, the only difference being Spike Tops only have a single spike and their heads are hidden under the shell. In the first three ''Paper Mario'' games, the face of a Spiny resembles that of a [[Koopa Troopa]]'s; it has its regular face from ''Sticker Star'' onward.
