For other uses of the name Spike, see Spike (disambiguation).
Spikes are enemies found in Super Mario Bros. 3. They appear in Sea Side and Iced Land stages, and attack by pulling spiked balls out of their stomachs and throwing them at Mario or Luigi; like Lakitus, they have unlimited amounts of ammo. Also, Spikes' stomachs can be used to store other things as well.
Spikes later reappear in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. Instead of pulling spiked balls from their stomachs, they shoot huge ones twice their size.
Spikes also appear in Super Princess Peach, which also introduces the orange haired, enraged Mad Spikes.
An icy variety of Spike called Snow Spike also appears in New Super Mario Bros. and instead of spiked balls, they throw big snowballs.
Some are green while others (ones that inhabit cold places) are white. Spikes resembl Clubbas, which differ in that they are bigger, and instead of producing spiked balls, they wield them on their maces. In Yoshi's Story, a different species that is similar to Spikes, known as Gabons make an appearance. Interestingly, "Gabon" is also the Japanese name of normal Spikes. Additionally, the character Tolstar (found in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga) may be a beanified version of Spike.
