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]].
A '''Spindel'''<ref>''Super Mario 64 [[Nintendo Power|Player's Guide]]'', pages 12 & 71</ref> is a type of [[Thwomp]] that appeared in ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. It is a cylindrical creature made of stone that continuously rolls over the same stretch of territory. The name "Spindel" comes from the word ''spindle'', which is the part of a spinning wheel that holds the yarn that is being spun. Spindel also resembles a giant cylinder with a thread of yarn spun around it, but with a face. It may be a precusor to the [[Rhomp]]s that appear in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', as Rhomps are alive and Spindel is mummified like the Grindels.


A Spindel appears in volume 16 of the ''[[Super Mario-kun]]'' manga. It tries squashing Mario and the [[Bob-omb Buddy]] accompanying him, but it fails and crashes.
