Stone Spikes make their debut inNew Super Mario Bros. Wii. Like normal Spikes, they can be defeated by any form of attack (though, like their normal counterparts, they cannot be jumped on while they are holding a spiked ball over their heads). Unlike normal Spikes, however, Stone Spikes only throw their spiked balls downwards, rather than forwards or backwards, with their projectiles briefly striking solid platforms before continuing their fall. A total of 11 Stone Spikes are found inWorld 6-1, and another 11 are encountered inWorld 8-4.

A Stone Spike canGround Pound Mario for 10-13 health, or throw a rock ball at him for 13-16 damage.
