Spinies make their first appearance in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', where they are described by the manual as [[Lakitu]]s' pets. In this game, [[Spiny Egg|Spiny's egg]]s are always thrown by the Lakitus. They first appear in [[World 4-1 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 4-1]]. Spinies and their eggs can only be defeated by a [[Fire Flower]] or a [[Super Star|Starman]] as Mario takes damage if he tries to stomp on it. If they are hit from below, they are bumped to the side like a [[Mushroom]], instead of being flipped over, like a [[Koopa Troopa|Koopa]]. Most levels that have a Lakitu-and-Spiny combination have many long staightaways with very few places to hide. These levels also usually have one or more very high blocks to [[jump]] on the Lakitu, thus stopping the Spinies for a time; though eventually, a new Lakitu appears. Spinies can also fill some platforms forcing the player to wait for them to move to progress. When they hatch or land on ground, they always face the direction of Mario or Luigi. Since no more than five enemies are allowed onscreen at the same time due to the limitations of the NES, if there are already five Spinies on the ground, then Lakitu stops throwing more Spinies at Mario. In [[World 4-4 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 4-4]], a Spiny is disguised as a [[fake Bowser]]. The only way to reveal its identity is by defeating it with fireballs. | Spinies make their first appearance in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', where they are described by the manual as [[Lakitu]]s' pets.
