Dark Spiked Goomba

Dark Spiked Goombas are Dark Goombas that have spikes on their heads. They look exactly like the shadow of a Spiked Goomba. They have 10 HP and 4 Attack (twice the 2 Attack of a normal Spiked Goomba). They are only found in the Flopside Pit of 100 Trials in Super Paper Mario. They attack by walking into the player. They also poke the player (for one Damage) when lifted with the Pixl Thoreau, as do all other spiked enemies. The player therefore has the following options.

1. The player can use Bowser's Fire Breath.
2. The player can jump on the enemy, but only with Carrie's protection.
   1. Without, the hero takes 1 damage
3. The player can use Boomer
4. The player can also hammer it with Cudge
5. The player can confuse it with Fleep if they already have the key for that room
   1. Without the key, perhaps the enemy is holding the key so they should defeat it instead; Fleep + Cudge may work though.
6. The player can sidestep around it with Mario in 3D. (Same guidelines as with Fleep apply)
7. The player can let it pass them with Slim.
