Spiky Topmen appear as regular enemies in the [[Battlerock Galaxy]] and the [[Dreadnought Galaxy]]. Spiky Topmen can use a spin attack which does not damage [[Mario]], but push him backwards. However, the spin can push Mario into other hazards that may hurt him. In addition if Mario attempts to [[stomp]] a Spiky Topman or lands on one he will be hurt by the spike on its head. Mario can defeat the Spiky Topmen by using their own strategy against them, Mario's [[spin]] attack or a [[Star Bit]] can knock the enemies into electric fences causing them to explode. Each one defeated would give a [[Coin]]. Sometimes, when Spiky Topmen are defeated, they make a gate or door open leading to the next part of the level. | |||
