His namesake is based on the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]] [[Spike]] enemy, though their only similarity is that they are minions to Koopa ([[Bowser]] in the video games). Spike works closely with his cousin, [[Iggy (film character)|Iggy]], serving as an antagonist duo for the majority of the film. Both Spike and Iggy are initially depicted as incompetent low intelligence minions of their cousin, Koopa. They frequently bicker and abuse each other. At some point during the movie, Koopa grows tired of their low intelligence, and reasons he can advance their intelligence with his [[Devo Chamber]] machine. After their intelligence is raised, they slowly begin to realize they despise how Koopa treats them, and eventually betray him and ally with the protagonists. He is played by {{wp|Richard Edson}}. | ||

Spike and Iggy, now of higher intelligence, return to Koopahari Desert driving a six-wheeled vehicle.
