'''Spike Tops''' are [[List of enemies|enemies]] introduced in ''[[Super Mario World]]''. They are [[Buzzy Beetle]]s named for the single spike on top of their red shells, making them resemble a {{wp|Pickelhaube}} helmet. Spike Tops are among the more resilient enemies because their shell grants them an immunity to fire and the spike makes it unsafe to jump on them. Their defining trait is their ability to crawl along vertical and upside-down surfaces. Despite being a shelled enemy, in the platforming games, any effective method of attack will defeat them instantly instead of having them retreat into their shells.

==Appearance==
Spike Top's appearance is similar to a [[Spiny]], which is another variant of Koopa. This is due to their red shells and spikes on top, the only difference being Spinies have several spikes and their eyes are not hidden under the shell.

==History==
===''Super Mario'' series===
====''Super Mario World''====
[[File:SpiketopSMW.gif|frame|left]]
Spike Tops are enemies in ''Super Mario World''. They crawl around the walls and ceilings of caves. Spike Tops most commonly appear in [[Vanilla Dome]]. The player can bounce off of them safely with a [[Spin Jump]] or with [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]. Defeating them with a cape swing in [[Cape Mario|caped form]] or by having Yoshi spit any other enemy that is not a [[Koopa Shell]] at them (possible in ''[[Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2]]'' if Yoshi is ridden by [[Luigi]]) yields 100 points, while [[sand cloud]]s from a Yoshi holding a [[Yellow Shell]] (or a Yellow Yoshi with any shell), shells thrown or spat out by Yoshi, and first contact with players rendered invincible by a [[Super Star|star]] rewards 200 points. Spike Tops are distinct from Buzzy Beetles in that their eyes are less obscured and their shells are flatter. Though their artwork depicts them with four legs, their sprite depicts them with six, though this trait would be corrected in their subsequent appearances.

====''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3''====
Spike Tops are enemies in ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. They are depicted with their original six-legged sprites from ''Super Mario World''. Three appear near the end of the [[World-e]] level [[Ice Dungeon]], walking around three floating octagonal platforms. Defeating them via tail whip from [[Raccoon Mario]] or [[Tanooki Mario]], a stomp from the Tanooki's [[Statue Mario|statue form]], hammers thrown by [[Hammer Mario]], and first contact with players rendered invincible by a [[Super Star|Star]] would give out 100 points.

====''New Super Mario Bros.''====
[[File:Spike tops.PNG|thumb|upright=1.1|Four Spike Tops in 5-2 in ''New Super Mario Bros.'']]
Spike Tops are enemies in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]''. They retain their behavior from ''Super Mario World'' but had their design updated to a four-legged red-shelled Buzzy Beetle with one spike. A Shell, Starman, or [[Mega Mushroom]] can defeat Spike Tops, as can hitting a block one is on. They appear only in [[World 5-2 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 5-2]], {{world link|6|towern|World 6-Tower 2 (New Super Mario Bros.)}}[[World 6-Tower 2 (New Super Mario Bros.)|2]], and {{world link|8|towern|World 8-Tower (New Super Mario Bros.)}}.

====''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''====
[[File:SpikeTop_NSMBWii.png|frame|left]]
Spike Tops are enemies in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. They appear the most commonly in [[World 2-3 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 2-3]]. Spike Tops can be defeated by a [[Super Star|Star]], [[Shell]], hitting a block from below with the Spike Top on top of it, or [[Ground Pound|Ground Pounding]] the block with the Spike Top on the bottom. It is possible to freeze a Spike Top with an [[Ice Ball]] and use it as a weapon against other enemies.

Through hacking methods, it is also shown that Yoshi can completely eat Spike Tops, as well as safely bounce off of them, a behavior that was later carried over to ''Super Mario Maker''.

====''New Super Mario Bros. 2''====
Spike Tops reappear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', where they act the same as in previous games. They can be defeated with the same methods from the previous games, in addition to swinging [[Raccoon Mario]]'s tail near them. In the [[Prima Games|Prima guide]], they are referred to as '''Red Spike Buzzy'''<ref>{{cite|author=von Esmarch, Nick|title=''New Super Mario Bros. 2'' PRIMA Official Game Guide|page=29|language=en-us|date=2012|publisher=Prima Games|isbn=978-0-307-89552-3}}</ref> (similar to the [[#Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door|Red Spike Top]]s in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''). They appear in [[World 2-3 (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 2-3]], [[World 6-1 (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 6-1]] and {{world link|flower|A|World Flower-A}}.

====''New Super Mario Bros. U'' / ''New Super Luigi U'' / ''New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe''====
Spike Tops are enemies in in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]''. In addition to retaining their behaviors, Spike Tops can be eaten by [[Baby Yoshi]]s, though remain unaffected to [[bubble]]s from [[Bubble Baby Yoshi]]. Spike Tops are encountered in [[Stoneslide Tower]], [[Thrilling Spine Coaster]], [[Shifting-Floor Cave]], and [[Rising Tides of Lava]].

Spike Tops are rarer in ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'', appearing only in [[Switch-Lift Express]]. Most of the ones here are clinging to the ceiling and drop when Mario is detected below.

====''Super Mario Maker'' / ''Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Super Mario Maker 2''====
[[File:Blue Spike Top.png|thumb|200px|A blue Spike Top.]]
[[File:SMM-SMB-Blue-SpikeTop.png|frame|left]]
Spike Tops are enemies in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'', its [[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS|Nintendo 3DS version]] and ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'', using the same behaviors as in previous games. They can be used in the four original styles, but are absent from ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]''. They receive new sprites for their ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' appearances. A blue-shelled variant typically with cyan skin additionally appears, and crawls much faster than its red counterpart. [[Spiky Parabuzzy|Applying wings to one]] will have it fly in a straight line, similarly to a [[Para-Beetle]], except it will cause damage if stood on without a Goomba's Shoe or Yoshi. If a Spike Top is crawling on a slope or a [[One-Way Wall]], it can be defeated by stomping on its underside.

===''Nintendo Adventures Books''===
A swarm of Spike Tops appears to attack [[Mario]] and [[Yoshi]] in ''[[Dinosaur Dilemma]]'' of ''[[Nintendo Adventure Books]]'', throwing themselves at the plumber and dinosaur as they are traveling through a desert. Depending on how the reader solves the accompanying puzzle, either Yoshi will eat all the Spike Tops, or one will succeed in knocking Mario out for several hours, allowing [[Bowser]] to easily conquer [[Dinosaur Island]].

===''Mario Clash''===
'''Spikes'''<ref>''Mario Clash'' English back cover.</ref><ref name="clash">{{cite|language=en-us|date=1995|publisher=Nintendo of America|title=''Mario Clash'' instruction booklet|page=20}}</ref> are enemies in ''[[Mario Clash]]''. Introduced in the first level, they can be defeated by throwing a [[Green Shell|Turtle Shell]] at them.

===''Paper Mario'' series===
====''Paper Mario''====
[[File:SpikeTop PM.png|frame]]
Spike Tops are enemies in ''[[Paper Mario]]''. They are much more like Buzzy Beetles in that they can be flipped over, are resistant to fire and explosion attacks, and attack by [[Shell Toss]]ing. Uniquely to this game, Spike Tops sport "angry" eyebrows, as well as having a yellow shell trim and nails. Spike Tops are encountered mainly in [[Mt. Lavalava]], but they also appear in battle with [[Dark Koopa]]s in [[Toad Town Tunnels]].

====''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''====
[[File:PMTTYD Spike Top Sprite.png|thumb|40px]]
Spike Tops are enemies in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' and its [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch)|Nintendo Switch remake]]. They usually have blue shells, though a red-shelled variant known as a '''Red Spike Top''' (also called an '''R. S. Buzzy''', likely standing for "Red Spike Buzzy") also appears in the [[Glitz Pit]] as [[The Tiny Spinies]]. The blue Spike Tops can be found in [[Creepy Steeple]] alongside [[Buzzy Beetle]]s. Additionally, a winged variant called the [[Spiky Parabuzzy]] makes its debut in this game. Stomping it if the [[Spike Shield]] [[badge]] is equipped causes it to lose its wings and turns it into a Spike Top. All these species also make an appearance in the [[Pit of 100 Trials (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door)|Pit of 100 Trials]].

The American version of ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'' mistakenly claims that the Defense stat for Spike Tops's red version is 5 instead of 4. This mistake was not present in the Japanese version and was corrected in the European version and in the Nintendo Switch remake, though Goombella still mistakenly says that it is the most durable of all Buzzy Beetles, despite having the same defense stat.

====''Super Paper Mario''====
Blue-shelled Spike Tops make a reappearance in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. They act like a Buzzy Beetle with a spike; they can fall off the ceiling, cannot climb on walls, and retreat into their shell when jumped on with [[Carrie]].

====''Paper Mario: Sticker Star''====
Spike Tops are enemies in ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]''. They retain their original red coloration and eye color from ''Super Mario World'' and the ''New Super Mario Bros.'' series. Spike Tops appear in [[Rustle Burrow]], [[Holey Thicket]], [[Chomp Ruins]] and [[Rumble Volcano]]. Once again, a Spike Top cannot be stomped on unless using an [[Iron Jump]] [[Sticker (Paper Mario: Sticker Star)|sticker]], using a [[Super Boot]] sticker before using a Jump sticker, or if the Spike Top is [[crumpled]]. Jumping on a Spike Top otherwise costs Mario 3 [[Heart Point|HP]], and negates jumping as [[First Strike]]. They can retreat in their shells if Mario uses a Iron Jump sticker. Their only method of attack is going into their shell and ramming into Mario and if Mario does not block this attack, he will not only take full damage but there is also a small chance that he may get [[dizzy]]. In its artwork it shows that Spike Tops have a nervous face but in the game they have a mad face much like the [[Spiny|Spinies]] do. In this game Spike Tops have much more HP like most enemies do. They are very common in Chomp Ruins since they fight in groups of 4 or 5.

====''Paper Mario: Color Splash''====
[[File:PMCS Spike Top.png|thumb|left|upright=0.5|Spike Top sprite from ''Paper Mario: Color Splash'']]
Spike Tops are enemies in ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]''. They retain their look from ''Paper Mario: Sticker Star''. Spike Tops are encountered in [[Redpepper Volcano]] and [[Redpepper Crater]].

In battle, they can attack Mario by transforming into a shell and flying towards him. They can also retreat into their shell during their turn or if they are stomped on with an Iron Jump, after which they can be sent towards other enemies with another Iron Jump or a KO Hammer. Ally Spike Tops summoned via Enemy Cards use a Shell Shot attack, damaging all grounded enemies for 22 damage and making them dizzy. Both ally and enemy Spike Tops are immune to fire and jump attacks due to their shell.

====''Paper Mario: The Origami King''====
[[File:OrigamiSpikeTop.jpg|thumb|100px|An origami Spike Top]]
Spike Tops return in ''[[Paper Mario: The Origami King]]'', sporting the same appearance as in ''Color Splash''. This time, however, they have an origami variant that antagonizes Mario.

===''Mario Family''===
[[File:SpikeTop MarioFamily.png|thumb|A Spike Top in ''Mario Family'']]
A Spike Top is one of the sewing designs in ''[[Mario Family]]''.

===''WarioWare'' series===
{{multiframe|[[File:WWIMM Mario Clash Spike Top.png|36px]] [[File:WWG Mario Clash Spike Top.png|44px]]|size=200|align=left|A Spike Top sprite in the Mario Clash microgame in ''WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!'' (left) and ''WarioWare Gold'' (right)}}
Spike Tops only appear in two of [[9-Volt]]'s [[microgame]]s in the [[WarioWare (series)|''WarioWare'' series]]. In ''[[WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!]]'' and ''[[WarioWare Gold]]'', Spike Tops appear as the enemy in level 1 of the [[Mario Clash (microgame)|Mario Clash]] microgame. In ''[[WarioWare: Get It Together!]]'' Spike Tops appear in level 2 of the [[Super Mario World (WarioWare: Get It Together!)|Super Mario World]] microgame.
{{br}}

===''Super Princess Peach''===
'''Mecha-Spike Tops''' are enemies in ''[[Super Princess Peach]]''. They are neither mechanical nor any physically different than in other appearance, despite their rename suggesting otherwise. Mecha-Spike Tops can be defeated only by using [[Rage]] or [[Poundbrella]]. The game additionally introduces an angry variety, the [[M. M-Spike Top]], which can stretch out its spike to attack foes.

===''Mario Party'' series===
Spike Tops only make a cameo appearance in three [[minigame]]s within the [[Mario Party (series)|''Mario Party'' series]]. In ''[[Mario Party: Island Tour]]'', Spike Top is among the constellations that can appear in [[Starring Artist]]. In ''[[Super Mario Party]]'', it is possible for a Spike Top to be one of the guesses in [[Absent Minded]]. In ''[[Super Mario Party Jamboree]]'', artwork of a Spike Top can appear on a ball in the minigame [[Big-Top Quiz]].

===''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS''===
{{main-wiki|SmashWiki|Spike Top}}
Spike Tops are enemies in [[Smash Run]], a mode in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]''. They seem to look and behave as they do in the ''New Super Mario Bros.'' series. They slowly walk around a platform and each of its edges. They have low health and do not attack, but they deal damage to any player that comes into contact with them.

===''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey''===
[[File:MLBISBJJSpikeTop.png|thumb]]
Spike Tops are both allies and enemies in the ''[[Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]'' mode of ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]''. Their [[Special Skill (Mario & Luigi series)|Special Skill]] is Hit 'Em Up.
