'''Spike Tops''' are [[Buzzy Beetle]]s with shells that are red and have a single spike projecting out of the top (hence the name), making them impossible to be [[jump]]ed upon, while still being resistant to fire but are still able to be frozen, which makes them one of the most resilient enemies in the ''Mario'' series. Their defining trait is the adhesive quality of their feet, which allows them to crawl along vertical and upside-down surfaces. Despite being a shelled enemy, in the platforming games, any effective method of attack will defeat them instantly instead of having them retreat into their shells.

===''Paper Mario'' series===

====''Paper Mario''====

In ''[[Paper Mario]]'', Spike Tops appear as enemies in [[Mt. Lavalava]]. They are much more like Buzzy Beeltes in that they can be flipped over, are resistant to fire and explosion attacks, and attack by [[Shell Toss]]ing.

 

====''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''====

In ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', the Spike Tops have blue shells instead of red and also appear alongside [[Red Spike Buzzy|Red Spike Buzzies]], a sub-species of Buzzy Beetles that strongly resemble the Spike Tops' original appearance.

 

====''Super Paper Mario''====

Blue-shelled Spike Tops make a reappearance in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. Due to this game being more of a 2D or 3D side-scrolling adventure and not a turn-based RPG they have the same attack patterns as in the regular installments of the ''Super Mario'' series.
