Spinies have brown fur and pointed black and white quills. This protects them from both rear and jumping attacks. If [[Diddy Kong]] and [[Dixie Kong]] attempt either type of attack, they get injured. The Kongs can defeat a Spiny by rolling into its exposed front, throwing an object at it, or by jumping on it with either [[Rambi the Rhino|Rambi]] or [[Rattly the Rattlesnake|Rattly]]. [[Team up]] can also defeat a Spiny, regardless of its quills. A [[Klampon]] sometimes accompanies a Spiny, such as in [[Castle Crush]]. Klampons are the opposite of Spiny in that they cannot be defeated from roll attacks, but are vulnerable to jumps.
