==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.

Spinies make their first appearance in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', where they are described by the manual as [[Lakitu]]s' pets. In this game, [[Spiny Egg|Spiny's egg]]s are always thrown by the Lakitus. They first appear in [[World 4-1 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 4-1]]. Spinies and their eggs can only be defeated by a [[Fire Flower]] or a [[Super Star|Starman]] as Mario takes damage if he tries to stomp on it. If they are hit from below, they are bumped to the side like a [[Mushroom]], instead of being flipped over, like a [[Koopa Troopa|Koopa]]. Most levels that have a Lakitu-and-Spiny combination have many long staightaways with very few places to hide. These levels also usually have one or more very high blocks to [[jump]] on the Lakitu, thus stopping the Spinies for a time; though eventually, a new Lakitu appears. Spinies can also fill some platforms forcing the player to wait for them to move to progress. When they hatch or land on ground, they always face the direction of Mario or Luigi. Since no more than five enemies are allowed onscreen at the same time due to the limitations of the NES, if there are already five Spinies on the ground, then Lakitu stops throwing more Spinies at Mario. In [[World 4-4 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 4-4]], a Spiny is disguised as a [[fake Bowser]]. The only way to reveal its identity is by defeating it with fireballs.

Spinies reappear in ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]'', playing the same role as in ''Super Mario Bros.'' Like the previous game, they first appear in [[World 4-1 (Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels)|World 4-1]]. In this game, the original version reveals that the [[fake Bowser]] at the end of [[World D-4]] is actually a Spiny. In ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'', the fake Bowser at the end is replaced by [[Bowser]]. Similarly, World D-4 features a fake version of Bowser's Brother who is actually a Spiny like the fake Bowser at the end of this level, but in ''All-Stars'', he is replaced with the actual Bowser's Brother (who, unlike in the original, is now recolored and is no longer blue).

Spinies make another appearance in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and [[Super Mario 64 DS|its remake]], where they appear as rather rare enemies. They can be found only thrown by a Lakitu on [[Tiny-Huge Island]] and in [[Rainbow Ride]]. When these Spinies are released by a Lakitu, they bounce twice and then start walking around slowly. Spinies can survive underwater if lured there, but a Spiny Egg deployed underwater does not hatch.

In the remake, Spinies also appear in [[Goomboss Battle]] and [[Sunshine Isles]].
In this game, Spinies are nearly impossible to defeat. Even the otherwise impervious [[Green Shell|Shiny Shell]] breaks if used against a Spiny, as though Mario ran into a wall, and a well-timed [[punch]] only knocks them back a bit. In Rainbow Ride, Mario can punch them repeatedly until they fall off the side. However, doing so does not produce any reward, as they simply fall into a bottomless area. In the remake, ''Super Mario 64 DS'', Spinies can also be defeated by Yoshi, who can eat them and turn them into [[Yoshi's Egg|Yoshi Egg]]s. Shooting a Yoshi Egg made from a Spiny yields one Yellow Coin. Eating one and spitting one out, however, simply reverts it into a Spiny Egg temporarily. Spinies can also be defeated in Goomboss Battle by luring them into the poison gas.

Spinies appear to have no eyes in the original version, possibly due to technical limitations with the graphics of the Nintendo 64. However, in the remake, eyes were added to the Spinies.

Spinies reappear as enemies in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', where they are found in the [[Luncheon Kingdom]], the [[Snow Kingdom]], and [[Bowser's Kingdom]]. They can be defeated by [[capture|capturing]] a [[Hammer Bro]] and throwing frying pans at them, by poking them as a [[Pokio]], and can be blown away by [[Ty-foo]]s. However, they cannot be captured, and instead, throwing Cappy on them causes them to be knocked backwards in a similar manner to [[Bully|Bullies]]. This way, though, the Spinies can fall into an abyss, into poison, or into lava. Spinies also appear as enemies in several 8-bit segments, where they can only be defeated by kicking a Koopa shell at them. Though [[Lakitu]]s do appear in this game, Spinies themselves are not thrown by Lakitus, much like in ''Super Mario 3D Land'' and ''Super Mario 3D World''.

[[File:Three Spinies.png|frame|left|GBA]]
Although Spinies do not appear in the original ''[[Mario Bros. (game)|Mario Bros.]]'' arcade game, they replace the [[Shellcreeper]]s in all of the remakes, starting with ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''{{'}}s Battle Mode, and excluding direct ports. The reason for this is so that new players do not try jumping on Shellcreepers, mistaking them for [[Koopa Troopa]]s.
Spinies infest the [[Warp Pipe|pipe]]s in the game, where they can be defeated when the Mario Bros. hit the [[floor (Mario Bros.)|floor]] underneath them, flipping them over onto their shells; Spinies can then be [[kick]]ed by Mario or Luigi and sent careening into the water. If they are not defeated in time, Spinies flip themselves over, and their shells turn from red to green (and from green to blue if it happens a second time), making them faster. When a normal Spiny is the last enemy left on a level, it immediately turns blue.
On page 40 of ''[[Nintendo Power Advance]]'' V.1, Spinys are referred to as "turtles", which is an alternate translation for the replaced Shellcreepers.

Spinies appear as non-playable characters in [[Mario Party (series)|''Mario Party'' series]]. A variant of bipedal Spinies called [[Spike Koopa]]s appears exclusively in ''[[Mario Party]]'' in the minigame [[Key-pa-Way]]. In ''[[Mario Party 3]]'', a picture of a Spiny appears in the center of the ice rink in [[Ice-Rink Risk|Ice Rink Risk]], where players must run around on the rink and avoid Spiny Shells, which would eliminate the player by knocking them out of the rink. In ''[[Mario Party 9]]'', Spinies assist [[Lakitu]] in his boss battle, [[Sock It to Lakitu]], where he throws them at the platform as they either walk right, left, up, or down until they fall off the edge of the platform. They also appear if someone gets them on the blocks that spawn the Bullet Bills. In ''[[Mario Party: Island Tour]]'', Spinies appear inside bubbles in the minigame [[Spin the Bubble]]. In ''[[Super Mario Party]]'', Spinies make a cameo appearance in the minigame [[Absent Minded]], where it is one of the characters that can be chosen as a guess.

They also appear if someone gets them on the blocks that spawn the Bullet Bills.
Spinies make a minor appearance in ''[[Mario Golf: World Tour]]''. In this game, they are one of the enemies that [[Mario]] collides with as he runs after having grabbed a [[Super Star]] during his animation used when he scores an Eagle, Hole-in-One, or Albatross.

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', a Spiny appears alongside a Lakitu as an Advanced-class Grab-type primary [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]], which decreases the user's weight. The spirit can be encountered in the Mysterious Dimension sub-world of the Dark Realm in [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate#Adventure|World of Light]].

In the [[Wii]] version of ''[[Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games (Wii)|Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games]]'', Spinies appear in a small number London Party missions, where they are thrown by Lakitus to oppose the player. Hitting a Spiny causes different effects depending on the mission, such as losing coins. One of the stickers also features a picture of a Spiny. In the [[Nintendo 3DS]] version of ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games (Nintendo 3DS)|Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games]]'', a pair of Spinies appear as character wall obstacles in [[Golf Plus]], taking on their sprite design from ''Super Mario Bros.'' and disappearing when hit once.
