Spikes areKoopa enemies that throwspiked balls orrollers from within their mouths. They were designed byHiroyuki Kimura atNintendo,[1] and they first appeared inSuper Mario Bros. 3. Spikes have blackBuzzy Beetle-like shells on their backs that are too small for them to enter. Up untilNew Super Mario Bros. Wii, they also commonly had alternately colored bellies indicated by theYoshi's Story design to be the front of the shell. While they primarily appear in antagonistic roles, they have also rarely appeared as background or playable characters.
History
Super Mario series
Super Mario Bros. 3
Spikes first appear inSuper Mario Bros. 3. They attack by pulling spiked balls out of their stomachs and throwing them at the player while wandering around. They generally follow the player, though they will walk a short distance away if they hit a wall enough. They can also fall off the edge like greenKoopa Troopas. Usually, they will throw one or two balls in sequence before taking a break to walk, only beginning to throw again a few moments later. They can be defeated by any attack (stomps, hits to the ground under them,fireballs,Koopa Shells,invincibility) for 100 points. Despite their appearance, Spikes can be stomped even when they are holding their spiked balls above their heads. The Water LandKing also resembles a Spike while transformed in theFamily Computer andNintendo Entertainment System versions, though he is intended to be akappa. Their sprites have a very small amount of white hair, while their art shows them with a large tuft of white hair, though some alternate materials instead show the later-standard blue. A total of 25 Spikes appear inSuper Mario Bros. 3, with 14 inWorld 3-7, eight inWorld 6-6, and three inWorld 6-8. The manual lists them as underground enemies while noting that they sometimes appear aboveground as well; despite this, only one of the levels they appear in (6-6) is underground. Seven more appear inGround Work, the 25th level ofWorld-e inSuper Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3.
New Super Mario Bros.
Although no regular Spikes appear inNew Super Mario Bros., a type of Spike calledSnow Spike appears inWorld 5-1, which features seven of them. Instead of throwingspiked balls, Snow Spikes throwsnowballs that progressively get bigger.
New Super Mario Bros. Wii
Normal Spikes reappear inNew Super Mario Bros. Wii, along withStone Spikes, a blue variety that uses spiked balls made of stone thrown directly downwards from the ledges on which they stand. This game marks the first appearance of their modern design, which would go on to be re-used in future games. This time, rather than walking around, Spikes stay in one spot while facing in the player's direction. The spiked balls they throw are not as powerful as regular spiked balls since they cannot break blocks and fall off the screen once they roll into a wall. As usual, Spikes can be defeated by any attack, however, they now yield 200 points upon defeat, and, unlike inSuper Mario Bros. 3, a Spike holding a spiked ball over its head is no longer safe to jump on. The game features 14 normal Spikes which all appear inWorld 2-2, as well as 22 Stone Spikes, with 11 inWorld 6-1 and another 11 inWorld 8-4.
New Super Mario Bros. U /New Super Luigi U /New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe
Spikes andStone Spikes appear inNew Super Mario Bros. U,New Super Luigi U, andNew Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe, where they act the same way they did inNew Super Mario Bros. Wii. Spikes jump whenever a "bah" is heard in the music.New Super Mario Bros. U features 12 normal Spikes inSpike's Spouting Sands, 23 Stone Spikes inDry Desert Mushrooms, and another 20 Stone Spikes in the sixth specialchallenge,Nonstop Flight.New Super Luigi U has 11 normal Spikes inSpike's Tumbling Desert and another 11 inSpike's Seesaws, as well as 13 Stone Spikes inStone Spike Conveyors.
Super Mario 3D World
Spikes appears in a few levels ofSuper Mario 3D World, includingSpike's Lost City andHands-On Hall. Unlike other appearances, Spikes throwspiked rollers instead of balls.
Super Mario Run
Spikes return inSuper Mario Run, though they only appear in the levelLand of Spikes. They throw spiked balls like in previous games, except at slightly faster intervals and in a short upward arc. If a Spike is stomped, then the spiked ball they threw vanishes.
A Spike Statue can be obtained as abuilding in Kingdom Builder mode, and placed in the Mushroom Kingdom.
Super Mario Maker 2
Spikes appear as enemies in version 2.0 ofSuper Mario Maker 2. They are available in all game styles, though they now throwSpike Balls even in theSuper Mario 3D World style, rather than spiked rollers. Since they did not appear inSuper Mario Bros. andSuper Mario World, they were given new sprites for those styles. In theSuper Mario Bros. andSuper Mario Bros. 3 styles, the Spikes' Spike Balls fly horizontally after being thrown like inSuper Mario Bros. 3, though they start being affected by gravity once they touch the ground; while in theSuper Mario World,New Super Mario Bros. U andSuper Mario 3D World styles, they only roll along the ground. Spikes also use theirSuper Mario Bros. 3 behavior in theSuper Mario Bros. style, andNew Super Mario Bros. U/Super Mario 3D World behavior in theSuper Mario World style. The Spike Balls can also beSpin Jumped on and, in the latter two styles, act as weight onSeesaws. In snow-themed levels, Spikes throwsnowballs instead (similar toSnow Spikes), which can be jumped on, picked up, and thrown. Spike Balls and snowballs can also be placed on their own, andMega Spikes can also be made by enlarging Spikes withSuper Mushrooms.
Super Mario Bros. Wonder
Spikes return as enemies inSuper Mario Bros. Wonder. A newred variant of Spike that spits and throws fireballs instead of Spike Balls is also introduced. In the levelAngry Spikes and Sinkin' Pipes, theWonder Effect has Spikes singing and throwing Spike Balls to the beat.
Amada Anime Series: Super Mario Bros.
InSuper Mario Momotarō, a Spike is the last creature to joinMario on his mission to rescuePrincess Peach. The Spike hopes to get his revenge againstBowser for destroying his home world. During the final battle he helps by knockingLudwig von Koopa out with an exploding spiked ball. After the final battle, he joins Mario in returning the treasure Bowser had stolen to their rightful owners. He is most likely based off of the monkey from theMomotarō.

TheYoshis may eat them, but the Green Yoshi likes them best. Additionally, the bossDon Bongo bears some resemblance to one. Their name Gabon is a direct translation from their Japanese name, possibly due to the name being taken byanother enemy in the same game.
