| | A '''Spindel''' is the [[Grindel]]'s closest relative in ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. A Spindel is a mummified rolling [[Thwomp]] that tries to run over [[Mario]]. There is a safe spot where Mario can hide, so he can avoid being squished. A Spindel has a demonic grin and wide eyes. |

| A '''Spindel'''<ref>{{cite|author=Pelland, Scott, and Dan Owsen|date=1996|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|title=''Super Mario 64'' Player's Guide|page=12}}</ref> is a type of [[Grindel]] that appears in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. It is a cylindrical creature made of stone that continuously rolls over the same stretch of territory. Its name comes from "spindle," which is the part of a spinning wheel that holds the yarn that is being spun. A Spindel also resembles a giant cylinder with a thread of yarn spun around it but with a face. A lone Spindel appears exclusively in the [[Shifting Sand Land#Inside the pyramid|pyramid]] of [[Shifting Sand Land]], where it can be found rolling back and forth in one section of the pyramid. There is a safe spot where [[Mario]], [[Yoshi]], [[Luigi]], and [[Wario]] can hide to avoid being squished, though if one of them does get squished, he loses three wedges from his [[Health Meter#Super Mario 64 / Super Mario 64 DS|Power Meter]]. | |
