If Kirby leaves their vicinity, however, they stop defending themselves, resuming their original form of movement.
Whether or not they are showing their spines, Spikeys can be inhaled for a bonus of 200 points, or defeated using any other attack for 400 points. Swallowing them grants Kirby theNeedleability.
