Spiny's eggs debuted in the original ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]''. In this game, they are more oval-shaped than they are in later appearances. Spiny's eggs demonstrate their basic behaviors in this game--they are thrown directly down from where Lakitu threw them, and on contact with land, turn into Spinies. In the manual, Spiny's eggs are listed separately from Spinies themselves. Lakitu will always throw either one or two Spiny's eggs at a time, depending on what form Mario/Luigi is in: if Mario is Small, he will only throw one egg, but if Mario is Super/Fire, then he will throw two eggs (this corresponds to how many hits Mario must take before losing a life).

Notably, code leftover in the game suggests that Spiny's eggs were meant to move horizontally in the direction Lakitu was flying when he threw them, as well as bounce off of walls. Whether this was deliberately cut or unavailable due to a glitch is unknown.<ref>TCRF. [[tcrf:Super Mario Bros.#Unused Spiny Egg Behavior|Super Mario Bros.#Unused Spiny Egg Behavior]].

Spiny Eggs briefly appear in ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'' episode "[[Mario and the Red Baron Koopa]]", where they are entirely pink, and act more or less like they do in ''Super Mario Bros.''. Later on, a single, green Spiny Egg is thrown by a Lakitu in ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' episode "[[Life's Ruff]]". This Spiny Egg makes a small explosion upon hitting the ground and turning into a normal Spiny.

Some Spiny Eggs, presumably transported to [[Dark Land]] by [[Wendy O. Koopa]] (who needs them for use in a potion), appear in ''[[Koopa Capers]]''. While exploring a [[Fortress]], [[Luigi]] finds a room filled with the eggs and some [[Ptooie]], but he manages to evade them while wondering what they are doing in a dank fortress chamber, instead of being outside.

In these games, they do not hatch into Spinies, and instead explode, which can destroy [[soft rock]].
