'''Spikeys''' are common enemies appearing in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' and [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|its remake]]. Much like [[Spiny|Spinies]], they have red spiked shells, are normally immune to jump attacks, and are sometimes dropped down by [[Lakitu]]s. They are encountered in [[Mushroom Way]], [[Bandit's Way]], the [[Pipe Vault]], and [[Booster Pass]].

In battle, Spikeys usually attack by rolling up into a [[Spiny Egg]] before striking. However, if all other enemies have been defeated, they instead shoot a spike at the target, which deals 50% more damage than usual. Spikeys often attack in groups of two or three, and are sometimes accompanied in battle by either a [[Koopa Paratroopa|Paratroopa]] or [[Frogog]]. In Bandit's Way, they also appear alongside [[Goomba]]s and [[K-9]]s, while in [[Booster Pass]] they appear alongside either another Spikey or a Paratroopa. 

Spikeys first appear in the last section of Mushroom Way, which wander around the area after being dropped by a Lakitu hovering overhead. A couple of Spikeys hide behind bushes to ambush Mario as he walks by. If they miss, they return into hiding. The Spikeys that appear in Bandit's Way are more aggressive, attacking Mario on sight and actively pursuing him in the event they miss.

In Booster Pass, they serve as obstacles within the level's hidden obstacle course, which can only be accessed after pressing a certain [[switch]] in [[Booster Tower]]. The obstacle course serves as a training ground for [[Booster]]'s [[Apprentice (Snifit)|Apprentice]]s. After Mario unlocks this area, he may dodge or battle the Spikeys to reach a trio of [[treasure chest|treasure box]]es. They also appear during the [[Goomba-thumping]] game. Mario loses a point each time he jumps on one.

Spikeys also have stronger green and purple counterparts known as [[Spikester]]s and [[Urspike]]s. Additionally, Spikeys have an unused variant known as [[List of Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars pre-release and unused content#Enemies|Super Spike]], described by the game's Shogakukan guide as appearing in [[Land's End]].
