'''Spinies''' (singular '''Spiny'''; occasionally pluralized '''Spinys''', as in the ''[[Super Mario Adventures]]'' comic and ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'') are quadrupedal [[Koopa Troopa|Koopa]]s with a menacing look that first appeared in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]''. They are often thrown by [[Lakitu]]s in unlimited supplies, but can also be naturally occurring. In ''Super Mario Bros.'', the only way the player can defeat them is to shoot a [[fireball]] at them, or run into them while being invincible from a [[Starman]]. In a way, the Spiny is the polar opposite of the [[Buzzy Beetle]]; enemies who are impervious to fireballs, but vulnerable to jump attacks.

In ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', Spinies make their first true appearance; They are always thrown by the [[Lakitu]]s. These Spinies are only able to be beaten by a [[Fire Flower]] or a [[Star|Starman]]. If they are hit from below, they will be bumped to the side like a [[Mushroom]], instead of being flipped over, like a [[Koopa Troopa|Koopa]]. Most levels that have a Lakitu-and-Spiny combination 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 will appear. Spinies can also fill some platforms forcing the player to wait for them to move to progress.
