History

Super Mario series

New Super Mario Bros. Wii

A Big Urchin in New Super Mario Bros. Wii

Big Urchins only appear in World 4, and just like regular Urchins, they will float up and down, trying to poke Mario and the others. However, unlike regular Urchins, they are almost invincible, only vulnerable to a Star. Also unlike regular Urchins, their pupils follow Mario's movements. They mostly appear alongside regular Urchins.

New Super Mario Bros. U / New Super Luigi U / New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe

In New Super Mario Bros. U, they appear in two of the Sparkling Waters levels, Tropical Refresher and Urchin Shoals, retaining their behavior from New Super Mario Bros. Wii.

Big Urchins return in New Super Luigi U in Urchin Reef Romp and Dragoneel Depths. In this game, they can be defeated by Dragoneels.

Mario Golf: World Tour

Big Urchins appear in Mario Golf: World Tour on the Cheep Cheep Lagoon course, where they serve as obstacles for the golfers. They are also seen as background characters and tee markers on the Sparkling Waters course.

Super Smash Bros. series

World 6 variation of the Mushroom Kingdom U stage in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.
A Big Urchin in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U

Big Urchins appear in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U as one of the stage hazards for the Mushroom Kingdom U stage. They appear on top of some Water Geysers and damage any players that touch them.

There have been a few collectible items of a Big Urchin. In Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, there is a trophy of a Big Urchin. In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, a Big Urchin appears as a shield-type, primary spirit, which makes the user weak to electric attacks when equipped. Its artwork is taken from its trophy render in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, which itself is derived from its appearance in the New Super Mario Bros. series.

Mario Party 10

Big Urchins reappear in Mario Party 10 in the minigame Fruit of the Doom. Here, they look like and act similarly to normal Urchins, falling from the waterfall along with the fruit that is required to be collected. However, they move more slowly than normal Urchins and take up more space. Touching them will subtract three points.

Paper Mario: Color Splash

A Big Urchin appears in Paper Mario: Color Splash in the Snifit or Whiffit: Seabed Edition quiz show. If Mario fails a question, a Big Urchin will appear. If Mario fails four questions in total, it will pop the bubble Mario is in and ultimately result in a Game Over. In the bonus round, the Big Urchin pops the bubble after failing one question. The Big Urchin will also pop the bubble if the player refuses to take part in the game show.

Many fancy restaurants serve sea urchins as a delicacy, but they're more of an obstacle in Mario's world. And the friendly looking Big Urchins have the sharpest spikes! They're also, you know, huge. They probably have to be careful not to poke each other while they wait for Mario. (American English)
While any deep-sea diver would be glad to come across a sea urchin, for Mario, giant ones like this are a massive nuisance. Their large eyes may make them kind of adorable to look at, but that doesn't make their spikes any less spiky. Don't get too close unless you fancy being turned into a shish kebab! (British English)
