History

Super Paper Mario

A Spiky Tromp

In Super Paper Mario, Spiky Tromps are first seen in Yold Ruins. They slowly roll back and forth, changing directions when they hit a wall. As with other spiky enemies, Mario, Luigi, Bowser, or Peach take damage upon collision with a Spiky Tromp. They are invincible and can only be defeated if Thoreau or Barry is used to make them fall into quicksand.

Later in Yold Ruins, Mario must activate a blue switch that opens trapdoors, which a large amount of Spiky Tromps fall out of. Mario then must press a large red switch that causes the Spiky Tromps to fall into a pit, allowing him to safely walk on them and enter a door that was previously out of reach.

Spiky Tromps also appear in the minigame Tilt Island. They fall from the sky onto the island, and they make Mario lose a life if they hit him. If Mario collects a Flower, he is able to knock them away with a spinning attack, scoring 2000 points.
