When they spot Mario or Luigi, they will float around them for a while. After a few seconds, it will try to stab them with its spike on its head. If it misses, it will be stuck on the ground, defenseless. They can still however be defeated when it is still in the air by backflipping and Spinning into them. They give 3 star bits when spun and a coin when jumped on. These enemies can also destroy Cloud Mario or Cloud Luigi's clouds with its spike.
