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. | Spiny's appearance is similar to a [[Spike Top]], which is another variant of Koopa, or more closely, [[Buzzy Beetle]].
