'''Snow Spikes''' are enemies that debuted in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' They are a variety of [[Spike]] that produce and throw projectile [[snowball]]s and roll them along the ground.


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]]''.
