A '''Spike Bass'''<ref>''New Super Mario Bros.'' Nintendo Player's Guide. Page 12.</ref> is an enemy in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]''. It resembles an oversized, dark red tadpole with a pale underbelly. Spike Bass also has beaming yellow eyes, sharp teeth and spikes all over its body.

Spike Bass only appear in two levels, [[World 2-A (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 2-A]] and [[World 3-C (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 3-C]]. In it, a Spike Bass [[jump]]s out of the water to try and attack [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]]. This is similar to how [[Boss Bass]]es behave except Spike Basses do not try to swallow Mario or Luigi. Spike Bass can only jump up to a certain height, and from a height, Mario or Luigi can likely avoid taking damage from them. If Mario is to swim to complete the level, a Spike Bass will come to attack him.

Spike Bass can only jump up to a certain height, and from a height, Mario or Luigi can likely avoid taking damage from them. 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. The boss [[Cheepskipper]] behaves similarly to a Spike Bass.

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.

==Trivia==
*A Spike Bass's Japanese name has the same definition as [[Spiny Cheep Cheep]], but the English name suggests a connection to Boss Bass instead.
