A Thorny can be stunned if hit from the sides with a Turtle Shell, and then defeated from Mario either hitting it with a Turtle Shell again or kicking it. If a Thorny is hit in the face by a Turtle Shell, it changes direction. In their artwork, they resemble a dark green-skinned Spiny with a single row of three retractable spikes on their black shells, but are depicted similarly to Spikes in the game itself.
