'''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.
==History==
Line 81:
===''Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyushutsu Dai Sakusen!''===
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.
Line 107:
===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===
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.
