Flying Spades from Wario World.
Screenshot from Wario World

Flying Spades[1] are enemies in Wario World. They are encountered in Pecan Sands only. These flying shovel enemies are rather like Monstrous Magnets; they fly using tiny insect wings, and Wario can get to higher places by throwing them headfirst into a soft section of dirt on a wall. They also make the same echoing metal sound upon being knocked down.
