• Trading Card description: These four-legged enemies have a prickly personality. When being thrown by Lakitu or just hanging out alone, these spiky villains have a great defense armor. Do not stomp on them or you will get hurt! You can use Yoshi, fire, or ice power to get them out of the way. Sometimes they like to slide on their shell upside down—this is your opportunity to stomp!

Tattle Log #: 29	Log	A spike-covered member of the Koopa Tribe with extremely high Defense. It cannot be damaged when it rolls into a ball.
	Tattle	That's a Spiny. Basically a spike-covered Koopa. Ugh! Looks painful! Max HP is 3, Attack is 3, and Defense is 3. These things have such high Defense that you can't even hurt them when they roll up. So, when they go back to normal, do all the damage you can, and do it quickly! If you flip them over, their Defense drops to 0. THAT'S the time to take them out. Jumping on them is just plain stupid, so try using a POW Block or some other item.

Flying over the battlefield in a cloud, this member of Bowser's forces persistently chases after Mario. He takes a break from throwing Spiny Eggs to do some racing in Mario Kart 7. When summoned, he'll appear as a sprite and toss Spiny Eggs at those fighting below him. (American English)

One of Bowser's minions. This cloud-riding turtle and general nuisance to Mario made his debut as a playable character in Mario Kart 7. In this game, you can summon a pixellated Lakitu who'll throw Spiny Eggs that will turn into Spinies – beasties with red, spiky shells – when they hit the ground. (British English)
