The '''Spiked Koopa'''<ref>The ''Super Game Boy'' Player's Guide, pages 28 and 29.</ref>, also referred to as a '''Pirate Koopa'''<ref name=NP58>''Nintendo Power'' Volume 58, page 80.</ref>, '''Spiked Pirate'''<ref name=NP58/><ref name=NP66>''Nintendo Power'' Volume 66, page 84.</ref>, '''Spiky Pirate'''<ref name=NP66/>, or '''Turtle'''<ref>Campbell, Stuart. ''Game Boy Game Secrets, 1999 Edition'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide. Page 96.</ref>, is the first boss in ''[[Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3]]'' and a member of the [[Black Sugar Gang|Brown Sugar Pirates]]. While given a generic [[Koopa (species)|Koopa]] identifier in English, his Japanese name derives from [[Hammer Bro]]ther (｢トゲブロス」 ''Toge Burosu'', translating as "Thorn Bros.").

In ''Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3'', the Spiked Koopa resides at the end of the [[Rice Beach]] stage and is armed with spiky armor similar to that of a [[Koopatrol]]. In his fight with [[Wario]], he employs a three-pronged attack of striking from land, air, and underground. His shell makes him invulnerable to [[Ground Pound|ground pound]]s and fire. However, he can be rammed into, exposing his soft belly. After three hits to his vulnerable underside, he is defeated.
