[[Stomp]]ing or [[Ground Pound]]ing on Spinies will cause any playable character to take damage, due to the spines on top of them. They can be defeated by [[fireball]]s, [[iceball]]s, [[Super Star]] invincibility, and [[POW Block]]s. They can also roll up into a ball called a [[Spiny Egg]], with its own unique properties. Spiny resembles a [[Spike Top]], which is another variant of Koopa, or more closely, [[Buzzy Beetle]]. This is due to their red shells with spikes on top, the only difference being Spike Tops only have a single spike and their heads are hidden under the shell. In the first three games of the [[Paper Mario (series)|''Paper Mario'' series]], the face of a Spiny resembles that of a [[Koopa Troopa]]'s; it has its regular face from ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]'' onward. | '''Spinies''' (singular '''Spiny'''; occasionally pluralized '''Spinys''', as in the ''[[Super Mario Adventures]]'' comic and ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', and spelled '''Spiney''' in one [[Play Nintendo]] poll,<ref>{{cite|url=play.nintendo.com/activities/opinion-polls/nintendo-characters-halloween-fun-poll-survey/|title=Nintendo Characters Halloween Fun Poll, Survey|publisher=''[[Play Nintendo]]''|accessdate=October 21, 2022|archive=web.archive.org/web/20221021191319/https://play.nintendo.com/activities/opinion-polls/nintendo-characters-halloween-fun-poll-survey}}</ref> also called '''Spiny Shells''' in promotional material for ''[[The Super Mario Bros.
