Spiky Joe is a Red Spike Top that appears in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. He is a major-league fighter in the Glitz Pit.
Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door[edit]
Spiky Joe is in the major league locker room, allowing Mario and his partner to talk to him. His team is called The Tiny Spinies; they are the first enemies that Mario faces in the major league. Spiky Joe is one of the few nice major-league members despite losing to "The Great Gonzales"; he does not hate him, and merely swears to train more and get better one day (the only other member being Hamma Jamma).
