'''Snow Spikes''' are enemies that debuted in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' They are a variety of [[Spike]] that cough-up projectile [[snowball]]s and roll them along the ground.
'''Snow Spikes''' are a subspecies of [[Spike]]s with a cyan body, snow goggles, snow boots, an orange hat, and orange gloves, first seen in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' They have the ability to create a [[snowball]] from their mouths and throw it.
 
Snow Spikes have light-blue bodies, white underbellies, and yellow lips. They wear snow goggles, mittens, boots, and knit caps. They were the first variety of Spike to be introduced in a mainline ''[[Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' game, but they have subsequently appeared only in ''[[Paper Mario (series)|Paper Mario]]'' titles. Although no Snow Spikes appear in ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'', Spikes placed in snow-themed levels throw snowballs in a similar manner. Unlike Snow Spikes, the snowballs produced by Spikes do not enlarge while rolling along the ground in the ''[[Super Mario World]]'' and ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'' styles, and they do not hurt the player character when they jump on them.

Snow Spikes first appeared in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', although they only appear in [[World 5-1 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 5-1]]. The Snow Spikes attack as normal Spikes do, except they pull out [[snowball]]s from their mouth instead of [[Spike Ball|Spiked Ball]]s. Unlike Spikes' Spiked Balls, these snowballs are affected by gravity, landing on the ground, rolling, and progressively getting larger as they roll until they hit a wall or fall down a [[pit]]. While rolling, the snowball grows into a snow boulder as it rolls, bowling through anyone in its path, other enemies included, though this does not give points or [[extra life|extra lives]]. Also, [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] can jump on a Snow Spike even if it holds a snowball, similar to the Spikes holding Spiked Balls in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''.

Snow Spikes are enemies in ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]''. They look exactly like they did in ''New Super Mario Bros.'', including keeping the white bellies that normal Spikes now lack, but their eyes are now fully seen. They are only found in the first two levels of [[World 4 (Paper Mario: Sticker Star)|World 4]]. In the overworld, Snow Spikes toss snowballs at Mario when they see him; being caught in one results in Mario taking damage as soon as he hits a wall, though they can be destroyed by using the [[Hammer]].

In battle, Snow Spikes can either jump on Mario or hurl a snowball at him. In the area of [[Snow Rise]] with the Comet Piece leading to [[Ice Flow]], [[Shiny Goomba]]s are also on top of snowballs from Snow Spikes outside battle. If Mario jumps on a Snow Spike while holding a snowball in battle, the Snow Spike is damaged unlike a [[Spike Ball]] from a [[Spike]]. They are immune to ice-based attacks, but take double damage when heat or fire attacks are used. Occasionally, instead of throwing the snowball, the Snow Spike Ground Pounds Mario. This attack can be blocked by simply wearing any version of the [[Spike Helmet]] sticker. Sometimes, the Snow Spike can roll the snowball on the ground. If Mario is caught in this snowball's attack, he is dragged out of battle and takes damage after hitting a wall. This attack cannot be blocked at all. Snow Spikes are usually fought in groups of two to 3. After battle, a Snow Spike may drop a [[Snowball]] [[sticker]].
