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 the player can dodge, they are absolutely invincible. There is an exception, however, as Mario can use [[Thoreau]] or [[Barry]] 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 so as to crush any intruder. However, 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.
In ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', Spiky Tromps are first seen in [[Yold Ruins]]. They slowly roll back and forth, changing directions when they hit a wall. As with other spiky enemies, Mario, Luigi, Bowser, or Peach take damage upon collision with a Spiky Tromp. They are invincible and can only be defeated if [[Thoreau]] or [[Barry]] is used to make them fall into quicksand.

History

Super Paper Mario

A Spiky Tromp

In Super Paper Mario, Spiky Tromps are first seen in Yold Ruins. They slowly roll back and forth, changing directions when they hit a wall. As with other spiky enemies, Mario, Luigi, Bowser, or Peach take damage upon collision with a Spiky Tromp. They are invincible and can only be defeated if Thoreau or Barry is used to make them fall into quicksand.

Later in Yold Ruins, Mario must activate a blue switch that opens trapdoors, which a large amount of Spiky Tromps fall out of. 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 they make Mario lose 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.
