Spiny: Difference between revisions

In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'', Spinies appear in the [[Beanbean Castle Sewers|sewers]] of [[Beanbean Castle]]. However, instead of their traditional appearance, they have green shells with yellow spikes. A Spiny can attack by approaching Mario or Luigi and then doing one of two things: simply running into him or entering its shell and spinning into him. Either attack can be countered with Mario or Luigi's hammer. The Spinies' defense is comparatively a lot higher than the enemies before them. Jumping on them does not work due to their shells, meaning that using either the [[Hammer|hammer]]s, the [[Firebrand]]/[[Thunderhand]] techniques, or if one of the Bros. have the "Spiny-Killer Jump" badges equipped, they can jump on Spinies safely without taking damage.

[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions|The remake]] changes their shape to that of a modern Spiny, but keeps the green and pale yellow coloration in the main story. Regular red Spinies appear as Melee units in the new ''Minion Quest'' mode. Their spikes make any unit who attacks them from above take some minor damage alongside the Spiny's damage. Their special skill, Spin to Win, allows them to roll into an enemy three times. They are weak against Lakitus and [[Lakipea]]s. A Spiny with green and pale yellow coloration is found as a spectator to [[Wendy O. Koopa|Wendy]]'s cutie battle contest.
