Spiny Flip isLakilester's default attack in the gamePaper Mario. It does not cost anyFP. In order to execute the attack, the player must aim the cursor with the Control Stick () at the enemy's hitbox within the time limit. Once the limit is up, Lakilester will throw aSpiny Egg at the cursor, either dealing damage to the enemy if the cursor was well-aligned, or missing in case the cursor was misaligned. The player can also press to preemptively finish the move. When successfully executed, Spiny Flip inflicts three points of damage to an enemy at Base Rank, four points at Super Rank, and five at Ultra Rank. Both it andShell Toss are the only initial attacks from partners in the game that always avoid taking contact damage from the enemy.

As a mini-boss, Lakilester's Spiny Flip inflicts four points of damage to Mario, but goes down to three once he joins his party.
