'''Spiky Tromps''' are rocky enemies from ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. They are smaller versions of [[Spiny Tromp]]s. They slowly roll back and forth, changing directions when they hit a wall, and damage [[Mario]], [[Princess Peach]], [[Bowser]], or [[Luigi]] on contact. They are invincible and can only be defeated if [[Thoreau]] or [[Barry]] is used to make them fall into quicksand.


A '''Spiky Tromp''' is a rocky enemy from the [[Wii]] game ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. It is a smaller version of the [[Spiny Tromp]].

Spiky Tromps are first seen in [[Yold Ruins]]. At one point in Yold Ruins, Mario must activate a blue switch that opens several trapdoors, from which a large amount of Spiky Tromps fall. Mario then must press a large red switch that causes the Spiky Tromps to fall into a pit, allowing him to safely walk on them and enter a door that was previously out of reach.


==History==
Spiky Tromps also appear in the [[minigame]] [[Tilt Island]]. They fall from the sky onto the island, and Mario loses a life if they hit him. If Mario collects a [[Flower]], he is able to knock them away with a spinning attack, scoring 2000 points.

Spiky Tromps were first seen in Chapter 1-4, in the [[Yold Ruins]], where many of them tried to block [[Mario]]'s path by slowly rolling back and forth, in order to ram the [[plumber]]. Although they are rather easy to dodge, they are absolutely invincible. There is an exception, however, if Mario can use [[Thoreau]] to cause them to fall into quicksand.
In a part of that chapter, they actually help Mario and his [[Pixl]]s: by activating a switch, Mario triggered a supposedly lethal trap, which consisted in releasing an enormous number of Spiky Tromps (probably more than 1000 of them) so as to crush any intruder. But the enemies were so numerous that they ended up falling down a pit, filling it up, allowing the gang to walk across them and enter a door which was out of reach before.

However, if the plumber grabs a [[Flower]], he will be able to knock them away with a spinning attack, scoring 2000 points in the process.

Spiky Tromps along with their larger counterparts, [[Spiny Tromp]]s appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'' as obstacles inside certain fortresses. They appear in large numbers in the towers of [[Rock-Candy Mines]]. In this game they have red eyes instead of white. In the Prima guide, they are known as "Grrrols".

Spiky Tromps are rocky enemies from Super Paper Mario. They are smaller versions of Spiny Tromps.

They are invincible and can only be defeated if Thoreau or Barry is used to make them fall into quicksand.

A Spiky Tromp

Spiky Tromps are first seen in Yold Ruins. At one point in Yold Ruins, Mario must activate a blue switch that opens several trapdoors, from which a large amount of Spiky Tromps fall. Mario then must press a large red switch that causes the Spiky Tromps to fall into a pit, allowing him to safely walk on them and enter a door that was previously out of reach.

Spiky Tromps also appear in the minigame Tilt Island. They fall from the sky onto the island, and Mario loses a life if they hit him. If Mario collects a Flower, he is able to knock them away with a spinning attack, scoring 2000 points.
