The '''Spike Helmet''' is an item in ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]'' and ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]''. It is a green helmet with a white rim and a sharp spike, similar to the ones worn by [[Spiked Goomba]]s in the first three ''[[Paper Mario (series)|Paper Mario]]'' games and by [[Spike Guy]]s in ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]''. It serves as a defense item that protects Mario from aerial attacks.

==History==
===''Paper Mario: Sticker Star''===
{{quote|Protects against and counters attacks from above with the helmet's spike.|In-game description|[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]}}
Spike Helmets first appear as [[sticker]]s in ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]''. They are dropped by [[Spiny|Spinies]], and are found in levels such as [[Goomba Fortress]] and [[Drybake Desert]]. They can be purchased in [[Decalburg]] for 8 coins. When used in battle, Mario wears the helmet and ducks down, dealing damage to enemies that attack him from above. If {{button|3ds|a}} is pressed, Mario thrusts upwards, dealing more damage. The [[Shiny Spike Helmet]] and [[Flashy Spike Helmet]] are upgraded versions of the Spike Helmet. It can be placed as #64 in the [[Sticker Museum]].

If used during the [[Big Cheep Cheep]] boss fight after using the [[Fishhook]], the Big Cheep Cheep will be instantly defeated upon attempting to jump onto Mario, at the cost of 30 [[Heart Point|HP]] of damage to Mario.  This amount will increase each time it increases its size.

===''Paper Mario: Color Splash''===
The Spike Helmet appears as a [[Battle Card (Paper Mario: Color Splash)|Battle Card]] in ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]''. It is first obtainable in the [[Indigo Underground]], and can be bought at [[Prisma Cardware]] for 80 coins. It retains its [[Action Command]] from ''Paper Mario: Sticker Star''. In this game, the Spike Helmet can only be found pre-painted.

===''Paper Mario: The Origami King''===
The Spike Helmet makes a minor cameo in ''[[Paper Mario: The Origami King]]''. It appears as part of the background in a photo of [[Princess Peach]] based on her appearance in ''Paper Mario: Sticker Star'' in the control room of [[The Princess Peach]].
