[[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 | Spinies first appear in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' and its dual-purpose add-on and sequel, ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]''. In both games, [[Spiny Egg|Spiny's egg]]s are always thrown by Lakitus. They first appear in [[World 4-1 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 4-1]] of ''Super Mario Bros.'' and in the level of the [[World 4-1 (Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels)|same name]] in ''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels''. Spinies and their eggs can only be defeated by a [[Fire Flower]] or a [[Super Star|Starman]] because attempting to [[stomp]] them hurts Mario. If they are hit from below, Spinies are bumped to the side like a [[Mushroom]], instead of being flipped over, like a [[Koopa Troopa|Koopa]]. Most levels with Spinies and Lakitus have many long staightaways with very few places to hide. These levels also usually have one or more very high blocks to [[jump]] on the Lakitu, thus stopping the Spinies for a time; though eventually, a new Lakitu appears. Spinies can also fill some platforms forcing the player to wait for them to move to progress. When they hatch or land on ground, they always face the direction of Mario or Luigi. | ||
Since no more than five enemies are allowed onscreen at the same time due to the limitations of the [[Family Computer]], its Western parallel ([[Nintendo Entertainment System]]), and its add-on, [[Family Computer Disk System]], if there are already five Spinies on the ground, then Lakitu stops throwing more Spinies at Mario. This had been amended in later remakes, including ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Bros. Deluxe]]''. | |||
In [[World 4-4 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 4-4]] of ''Super Mario Bros.'', a Spiny is disguised as a [[fake Bowser]]. In original releases of ''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels'', [[World D-4]] features a Spiny disguised as both a fake Bowser and another as [[Bowser's Brother]]. | |||

Like [[Buzzy Beetle]]s, '''Upside-down Spinies'''<ref>{{cite|url=www.nintendo.co.jp/character/mario/archives/smb3/?lang=en English|title=''Super Mario Bros. 3'' entry on the official Mario Portal|publisher=nintendo.co.jp|accessdate=August 13, 2022|archive=archive.ph/0bmQD}}</ref> also hang from the ceiling, dropping down when Mario is close enough and sliding on their shells. Using [[Raccoon Mario|Raccoon]] or [[Tanooki Mario]]'s tail, they can be flipped onto their back and picked up and [[Shell Toss|thrown]] like a regular [[Koopa Shell]]. Unlike Koopa or Buzzy Beetle shells, Mario can not safely jump on a [[Spiny Shell (red)|Spiny Shell]] despite it being upside down, although this would later become possible in ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. | ||
A green, unhatched variant of Spiny Egg is introduced in this game. It can move around and chase the player until it falls off a cliff or is hit by a shell, fireball, [[hammer]], or Starman. This is the only game that this kind of Spiny Egg appears in, and it appears only in one level, [[World 3-4 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|3-4]]. | A green, unhatched variant of Spiny Egg is introduced in this game.

Spinies also appear in the ''[[Mario Bros. (game)|Mario Bros.]]'' minigame, where they replace [[Shellcreeper]]s from the original game.

Spinies reappear in ''[[Super Mario World]]''. As usual, they are thrown by Lakitus; some of which, called [[Fishin' Lakitu]]s, hold a [[1-Up Mushroom]] on a fishing pole for the player. Only when Mario or Luigi collects this Mushroom would the Lakitu begin to hurl Spinies at them. The enemies can be defeated by a Fire Flower, [[Cape]], [[Yoshi]], or Super Star. Unlike the Koopa Troopas in ''Super Mario World'', which hide in their shells after being hit by a Cape, Spinies are instantly defeated, leaving no Shell. All Spinies in a level can be turned into Coins for a set amount of time if a [[Gray P Switch]] has been activated. | |||

Spinies infest the [[Warp Pipe|pipe]]s in the game, where they can be defeated when the Mario Bros. hit the [[floor (Mario Bros.)|floor]] underneath them, flipping them over onto their shells; Spinies can then be [[kick]]ed by Mario or Luigi and sent careening into the water. If they are not defeated in time, Spinies flip themselves over, and their shells turn from red to green (and from green to blue if it happens a second time), making them faster.

In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'', Spinies appear in the [[Beanbean Castle Sewer|sewers]] of [[Beanbean Castle]]. Unlike their traditional appearance, they have green shells with yellow spikes. A Spiny can attack by approaching Mario or Luigi and then either simply running into him or entering its shell and spinning into him. Either attack can be countered with Mario or Luigi's hammer. The Spinies' defense is comparatively a lot higher than the enemies before them. Jumping on them does not work due to their shells, meaning that using either the hammers, the [[Firebrand]]/[[Thunderhand]] techniques, or if one of the Bros. have the "Spiny-Killer Jump" badges equipped, they can jump on Spinies safely without taking damage. | In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'', Spinies appear in the [[Beanbean Castle Sewer|sewers]] of [[Beanbean Castle]].
