'''Harimen'''<ref>[http://yossi6.s309.xrea.com/mario/dr.cgi?key=2881 Harimen's entry at the Japanese Super Mario Daijiten (Big Dictionary)]</ref> (ハリメン) are enemies in ''[[Wario Land 4]]'' that can be found in levels of different passages. They appear as yellow heads with red feet that wear pink spiked shells, resembling [[Spiny|Spinies]]. Their shell hurts [[Wario]] on contact and prevents them from his [[Jump]] and [[Dash Attack]]s as well as the [[Ground Pound]]. There is also no way to grab them. Their week point is their unprotected underside. The most common way to defeat the Harimen is by doing a Ground Pound at any place when they are seen, causing them to flip over and to be stunned for a few seconds. Another Ground Pound directly on their underside will defeat them, rewarding Wario with a big silver [[Coin]].

Spikies[1] are enemies in Wario Land 4. They appear as yellow heads with red feet that wear pink spiked shells, resembling Spinies. Their shell hurts Wario on contact and are immune to his Smash Attack (initially) and ram attacks. There is also no way to grab them. Their weak point is their unprotected underside. The most common way to defeat the Spiky is by performing a Smash Attack around an area where they are seen, causing them to flip over and to be stunned for a few moments. Another Smash Attack directly on their underside will defeat them, rewarding Wario with a Silver Coin. They can also be flipped over by jumping into their underside from below or by pushing them against a wall, which can be safely done when Wario is invincible, for example as Flaming Wario. When another enemy is thrown at them, they are defeated immediately. As with most enemies, Spikies are also defeated when Wario simply touches them during a certain transformation, such as Zombie Wario or Fat Wario.

A variation known as Harimen Zetto exists as well, which have a black shell and are more difficult to defeat.
