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]]. In the remake, Spinies also appear in [[Goomboss Battle]] and [[Sunshine Isles]]. 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.

This is the only game in which 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.
