Editing Sky-Blue Spiny

{{:Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door bestiary|transcludesection=Sky-Blue Spiny|image=[[File:SkyblueSpiny.png]]}}
'''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.

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.

*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.

-'''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.
