Spiky?

Could it be that Bumbleprods are redesigned versions of Spiky from Wario Land 4? Not only is their behavior virtually the same, but the Japanese names are identical. They're certainly closer in appearance and function than the Wario Land and Wario Land II versions of Pouncer. LinkTheLefty (talk) 19:11, April 13, 2024 (EDT)

*shakes head* Their appearances are different and sharing a Japanese name hardly means anything in the Mario franchise. PrincessPeachFan (talk) 09:55, April 14, 2024 (EDT)

It's literally one Wario Land game apart, though, and Shake It! is known to have several repurposed elements from 4, not to mention "Spiky" might admittedly be rather throwaway. LinkTheLefty (talk) 23:06, April 14, 2024 (EDT)

"Spiky" itself always struck me as a stripped-down Para-Goom. I'm gonna put this one for now as "unlikely, but plausible." If we ever get more development materials for SI (as unlikely as that is), that'd be nice. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 00:39, April 15, 2024 (EDT)
