Spike Basses do not return in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'' or any later [[New Super Mario Bros. (series)|''New Super Mario Bros.'' series]] installments. Their behavior of jumping out of the water was instead given to Porcupuffers.
This enemy can be defeated with a [[Fireball]], a [[Koopa Shell]], a [[Star|Starman]] or a [[Mega Mushroom]]. However, another Spike Bass will return after a few seconds to continue the pursuit. The boss [[Cheepskipper]] behaves similarly to a Spike Bass.
