(Why? There's nothing about them that says "Spiny" apart from the word "toge" in the L.O.O. which just means "spike".)

(Undo revision 3574703 by Somethingone (talk) And there's nothing that says Hammer Bros. other than the word Bros. Note how it's the only HB derivative that goes into its shell, similar to Spiny from SMB3. Either way, there's no reason to NOT having this, and I feel removing it detracts from the page's overall quality.)

Not to be confused with Spike Koopa.

Template:Character-infobox The Spiked Koopa[1], also referred to as a Pirate Koopa[2], Spiked Pirate[2][3], Spiky Pirate[3], or Turtle[4], is the first boss in Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3 and a member of the Brown Sugar Pirates. While given a generic Koopa identifier in English, his Japanese name derives from Hammer Brother (「トゲブロス」 Toge Burosu, translating as "Thorn Bros.").

In Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3, the Spiked Koopa resides at the end of the Rice Beach stage and is armed with spiky armor similar to that of a Koopatrol. In his fight with Wario, he employs a three-pronged attack of striking from land, air, and underground. His shell makes him invulnerable to ground pounds and fire. However, he can be rammed into, exposing his soft belly. After three hits to his vulnerable underside, he is defeated.
