'''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. Strangely enough, there is a ''[[Kirby (franchise)|Kirby]]'' enemy, [[mh:kirby:Togezo|Togezo]], bearing resemblance to Spiny.

Spinies make an appearance in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', in which they are treated the same way as in their older side-scrolling games such as ''Super Mario Bros.'' or ''Super Mario Bros. 3''. They also have a new ability, however, which is to float in the water by transforming into a Spiny Egg. This ability has yet to appear in another game. Spinies can be defeated by a [[Fire Flower]], a [[Starman]], a [[Mega Mushroom]], or a [[Blue Koopa Shell]]. Spinies retained their trick from ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' of dropping from the ceiling when Mario is close. While sliding on their shells, they can be safely stomped on, picked up and thrown since they're upside down. When the "bah" sound is heard in the music, spinies will hop and change direction.

Spinies appear in the ''Mario'' Japan-only anime movie ''[[Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyushutsu Dai Sakusen!]]''. A [[Lakitu]] appears right after [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], and the mysterious dog [[Prince Haru|Kibidango]] escape from a field of [[Piranha Plants]]. This Lakitu starts throwing [[Spiny Egg]]s at the trio; the cloud monster misses. The three travelers laugh at the Lakitu for it's poor aim. However, the creature presses a button in its cloud that emits rain and turns the eggs into fully-fledged Spinies. They close in on the group. However, this surrounding does not last long; Mario finds a [[Magic Vine]], which grows and allows Mario and his companions to escape. Before the Lakitu can escape, Mario grabs a piece of its cloud and makes it snow on the Spinies, freezing them. When Mario returns to the earth, the Spiny group was gone.

Spinies appear in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', where Lakitu, as an [[Assist Trophy]], throws them to the ground in their 8-bit form. They walk around and launch players straight into the air. If a character is hit in midair, however, he or she will be thrust directly downward. When the Spinies reach an edge, they fall off.
