In ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', Spinies (also pluralized as Spinys<ref>''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3'' American instruction booklet, page 49.</ref>) are once again thrown by Lakitus, just like in ''Super Mario Bros.'' and can be defeated by [[Fire Mario]], [[Hammer Mario]], and a [[Super Star|Starman]].

Using [[Raccoon Mario|Raccoon]] or [[Tanooki Mario]]'s tail, they can be flipped onto their back and picked up and [[Shell Toss|thrown]] like a regular [[Koopa Shell]].

A green, unhatched variant of Spiny Egg is introduced in this game. It can move around and chase the player until it falls off a cliff or is hit by a shell, fireball, [[hammer]], or Starman. This is the only game that this kind of Spiny Egg appears in. | A green, unhatched variant of Spiny Egg is introduced in this game.

Spinies also appear in the ''[[Mario Bros. (game)|Mario Bros.]]'' minigame, where they replace [[Shellcreeper]]s from the original game. If a Spiny is flipped over and left alone, it eventually flips back over. Like all other enemies, they turn blue and move faster when it is the last enemy. In the version available in ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'', Spinies also appear in the expanded Battle Game. They act like they do in the original minigame, but here, they additionally turn blue and move faster if they were left alone after being flipped over. | Spinies also appear in the ''[[Mario Bros.
