History

Super Mario 3D World /Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury

InSuper Mario 3D World and itsNintendo Switch portSuper Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury, Spiny Skipsqueaks are stationary variants ofSkipsqueaks that sometimes jog in a set path. As its name indicates, it features spikes on its back, thus it can be defeated by any attack except a jump. Spiny Skipsqueaks can also make a high hop. Unlike their non-spiky counterparts, they do not appear inBowser's Fury; as such, they only appear in theSuper Mario 3D World campaign ofSuper Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury.

Spiny Skipsqueaks appear in four levels:

Super Mario Maker 2

Spiny Skipsqueaks appear as placeable enemies inSuper Mario Maker 2 in theSuper Mario 3D World style. Like regular Skipsqueaks, itjumps whenever Mario jumps, and if it is pushed away from its starting point, such as by aThwomp orTrack Block, it will run back towards its starting point and evenTriple Jump over obstacles to get there. If it cannot pass an obstacle, it will give up and look tired, then reset its movement pattern from its new location.
