Only appearing in [[World 2-A (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 2-A]] and [[World 3-C (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 3-C]], a Spike Bass is a giant fish, brown in color with a pale underbelly.

The fish can only reach a certain level though, if Mario is on high grounds, he will have a good chance of being safe. If Mario is to swim to complete the level, a Spike Bass will come to attack the plumber. Its habit is quite similar to [[Boss Bass]], but a Spike Bass will not try to gulp Mario whole.

A Spike Bass can be defeated with a [[Fireball]], a [[Koopa Shell]], a [[Star|Starman]] or a [[Mega Mushroom]]. After a few seconds, another Spike Bass returns to continue the pursuit.
