Brothership's Spikely[edit]

Block Super Mario World.png This talk page or section has a conflict or question that needs to be answered. Please try to help and resolve the issue by leaving a comment.

Is it possible for someone to get the Japanese name for the enemy Spikely from Brothership? Aside from the blue color, they look identical to Thorbs and even attack the same way as Thorbs in Dream Team, not to mention appearing alongside Capnaps also like in Dream Team. I'm thinking for Spikely to be merged to this article and rename it, but I'd like to know the Japanese name in Brothership first.

The enemy in Brothership is called トゲボン (togebon)トゲキューコン (togekyūkon). I don't know enough japanese to pick apart whatever worldplay can be found here, but Spikely is definitely called "spike" something like how Thorb is called "spike bulb." — Lady Sophie Wiggler Sophie.png (T|C) 22:00, November 7, 2024 (EST)
"-bon" has been used for several enemies (particularly variations), notably Kuribon. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 23:10, November 7, 2024 (EST)
