'''Spiny Flip''' is one of [[Lakilester]]'s attacks in the game ''[[Paper Mario]]''. The effect is that he throws a [[Spiny Egg]] at one enemy. All the player has to do is align the cursor with the target. If Lakilester fails, the attack does not hurt the enemy. Spiny Flip is an initial attack and costs no [[Flower Point]]s, like [[Mario]]'s jump. The player can also press {{button|n64|A}} to release it earlier. When successfully executed it inflicts three points of damage to an enemy, four points when Lakilester is Super-Ranked, and five when he is Ultra-Ranked. Spiny Flip is the only initial attack from a partner in the game that does not involve contacting the enemy in any way.

'''Spiny Flip''' is [[Lakilester]]'s default attack in the game ''[[Paper Mario]]''. It does not cost any [[Flower Point|FP]]. In order to execute the attack, the player must aim the cursor with the Control Stick ({{button|n64|Stick}}) at the enemy's hitbox within the time limit. Once the limit is up, Lakilester will throw a [[Spiny Egg]] at the cursor, either dealing damage to the enemy if the cursor was well-aligned, or missing in case the cursor was misaligned. The player can also press {{button|n64|A}} to preemptively finish the move. When successfully executed, Spiny Flip inflicts three points of damage to an enemy at Base Rank, four points at Super Rank, and five at Ultra Rank. Both it and [[Shell Toss]] are the only initial attacks from partners in the game that always avoid taking contact damage from the enemy.


As a mini-boss, Lakilester's Spiny Flip inflicts four points of damage to Mario, but goes down to three once he joins his party.
This attack is similar to [[Flurrie]]'s [[Body Slam (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door)|Body Slam]] move from ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. Both action commands involve lining up the cursor with the circle.
