Editing Spike Bass

'''Spike Basses'''<ref>{{cite|author=Loe, Casey|title=''New Super Mario Bros.'' Player's Guide|page=12|date=May 15, 2006|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|isbn=1-59812-009-3}}</ref> are aquatic enemies in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' that resemble giant {{wp|porcupinefish}}. These enemies also have beaming yellow eyes, sharp teeth, and spikes all over their body. The Spike Bass is encountered only in [[World 2-A (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 2-A]] and [[World 3-C]], where it jumps from the water and tries to attack [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] similarly to [[Big Cheep Cheep|Boss Bass]] but without attempting to eat them. There is a finite height to which the Spike Bass can jump, meaning its attacks can be avoided by standing on a platform with substantial elevation above the water. The Spike Bass can be defeated from either a [[fireball]], a [[Koopa Shell]], a [[Super Star|Starman]], or a [[Mega Mushroom]], though it will respawn a few seconds later. Later games give this enemy's behavior to [[Porcupuffer]], which does not jump in earlier appearances.
