'''Sky-Blue Spinies''' (or '''S. Blue Spiny''') are variants of [[Spiny|Spinies]] that are found only deep underground, in the [[Pit of 100 Trials (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door)|Pit of 100 Trials]] of ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. They are thrown by [[Dark Lakitu]]s and can be found on floors 61-70 of the dungeon. They are stronger than normal Spinies and attack by charging.

'''Sky-Blue Spinies''' (or '''S. Blue Spinies''') are variants of [[Spiny|Spinies]] that are seen in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' and its [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch)|Nintendo Switch remake]]. They are thrown by [[Dark Lakitu]]s and can be found on floors 61-70 of the [[Pit of 100 Trials (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door)|Pit of 100 Trials]]. They are stronger than normal Spinies and can [[Charged|charge]]. They can sometimes curl up and hide in their shell, making them impervious to any attack, even those that bypass defense.
 
Their body structure is the same as an ordinary Spiny, except instead of red, their shells are blue similar to the [[Spiny Shell (blue)|Spiny Shell]]s in the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series. Additionally, their skin is slightly darker like the [[Dark Lakitu]]s that throw them. This gives them a resemblance to [[Buzzy Beetle]]s, so much so that the German version of the game refers to them as "''Käfer-Stachis''", meaning "Buzzy Beetle Spinies". However, they lack the usual qualities of Buzzy Beetles, such as resilience to fire.
 
In the English version of the original game, it is mistakenly stated that Dark Lakitu's Sky-Blue Spinies hatch from "pipes" in [[Goombella]]'s [[Tattle]] for both enemies. However, the supposed "pipes" which spawn Sky-Blue Spinies are actually regular blue Spiny Eggs. Their name is the result of a mistranslation: Spiny Eggs are referred to as 「パイポ」 ''Paipo'' in Japanese, which comes from [[Wikipedia:Jugemu|a well-known Japanese folktale]]<ref>{{cite|url=legendsoflocalization.com/super-mario-bros/names/#the-eggs-too|title=''Super Mario Bros.'': Names|language=en|publisher=Legends of Localization|accessdate=May 24, 2024}}</ref> but can also be interpreted (incorrectly, in this case) as an approximation of the English word "pipe" into Japanese [[Wikipedia:Katakana|katakana]]. Despite this mistranslation, 「パイポ」 ''Paipo'' is correctly translated as "Spiny Egg" elsewhere in the English text of ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'', namely with regard to the standard species of Spiny fought in the game.<ref>{{cite|url=legendsoflocalization.com/that-one-time-lakitu-started-throwing-pipes|title=That One Time Lakitu Started Throwing Pipes|publisher=Legends of Localization|accessdate=November 5, 2017|language=en}}</ref> This was fixed in the remake, which correctly refers to them as Spiny Eggs.


==Profiles and statistics==
They highly resemble Spinies, except instead of red, their shells are blue similar to the [[Spiny Shell (blue)|Spiny Shell]]s in the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series. Additionally, their skin is slightly darker like the [[Dark Lakitu]]s that throw them. This gives them a resemblance to [[Buzzy Beetle]]s, so much so that the German version of the game refers to them as "''Käfer-Stachis''", meaning "Buzzy Beetle Spinies". However, they lack the usual qualities of Buzzy Beetles, such as resilience to fire.

==Trivia==
*In the English localization, it is mistakenly stated that Dark Lakitu's Sky-Blue Spinies hatch from "pipes" in [[Goombella]]'s [[Tattle]] for both enemies. However, the supposed "pipes" which spawn Sky-Blue Spinies bear no resemblance to the conventional [[Warp Pipe|pipes]] of the [[Mario (franchise)|''Mario'' franchise]] and instead appear as regular blue Spiny Eggs. Their name is the result of a mistranslation: Spiny Eggs are referred to as 「パイポ」 ''Paipo'' in Japanese, which comes from [[Wikipedia:Jugemu|a well-known Japanese folktale]]<ref>"''[http://legendsoflocalization.com/super-mario-bros/names/#the-eggs-too Super Mario Bros.'': Names]." ''Legends of Localization''. Retrieved April 22, 2015.</ref> but can also be interpreted (incorrectly, in this case) as an approximation of the English "pipe" into Japanese [[Wikipedia:Katakana|katakana]]. While 「パイポ」 ''Paipo'' was correctly rendered as "Spiny Egg" elsewhere in the English script of ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'' - namely, with regard to the standard species of Spiny fought in the game - the translation team seems to have overlooked the established convention with this variant, resulting in the "pipe" name.<ref>"''[http://legendsoflocalization.com/that-one-time-lakitu-started-throwing-pipes/ That One Time Lakitu Started Throwing Pipes]''." ''Legends of Localization''. Retrieved November 5, 2017.</ref>
