'''Stone Spikes''' are a variant of [[Spike]]s that first appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. They are blue in color and have green hair (the opposite of Spikes' coloration). They act like normal Spikes, but are found in mountainous regions and throw spiked balls made out of rock.

==History==
===''Super Mario'' series===
====''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''====

In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', they are found in [[World 6-1 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 6-1]] and in [[World 8-4 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 8-4]]. Unlike normal Spikes, Stone Spikes can only throw their spiked balls downwards, rather than forwards or backwards. They can be defeated just like normal Spikes: by jumping on its head, by throwing a [[fireball]] at it, or by freezing them using an [[Ice Flower]] or a [[Penguin Suit]].

====''New Super Mario Bros. U'' / ''New Super Luigi U'' / ''New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe''====

In ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'', they appear in [[Stone Spike Conveyors]] where they are once again the main obstacle.
