'''Spiny Flip''' is [[Lakilester]]'s default attack in the game ''[[Paper Mario]]''. It does not cost any [[Flower Point|FP]]. In order to execute the attack, the player must aim the cursor with the Control Stick ({{button|n64|Stick}}) at the enemy's hitbox within the time limit. Once the limit is up, Lakilester will throw a [[Spiny Egg]] at the cursor, either dealing damage to the enemy if the cursor was well-aligned, or missing in case the cursor was misaligned. The player can also press {{button|n64|A}} to preemptively finish the move. When successfully executed, Spiny Flip inflicts three points of damage to an enemy at Base Rank, four points at Super Rank, and five at Ultra Rank. | '''Spiny Flip''' is [[Lakilester]]'s default attack in the game ''[[Paper Mario]]''.

Both it and [[Shell Toss]] are the only initial attacks from partners in the game that always avoid taking contact damage from the enemy. | ||
As a mini-boss, Lakilester's Spiny Flip inflicts four points of damage to Mario, but goes down to three once he joins his party. | |||
