and can be defeated by Fire Mario, Hammer Mario, and a Starman. 3, Spinies (also pluralized as Spinys ) are once again thrown by Lakitus, just like in Super Mario Bros. Similarly, World D-4 features a fake version of Bowser's Brother who is actually a Spiny like the fake Bowser at the end of this level, but in All-Stars, he is replaced with the actual Bowser's Brother (who, unlike in the original, is now recolored and is no longer blue). In Super Mario All-Stars, the fake Bowser at the end is replaced by Bowser. In this game, the original version reveals that the fake Bowser at the end of World D-4 is actually a Spiny. Like the previous game, they first appear in World 4-1. Spinies reappear in Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels, playing the same role as in Super Mario Bros. The only way to reveal its identity is by defeating it with fireballs. In World 4-4, a Spiny is disguised as a fake Bowser. Since no more than five enemies are allowed onscreen at the same time due to the limitations of the NES, if there are already five Spinies on the ground, then Lakitu stops throwing more Spinies at Mario. When they hatch or land on ground, they always face the direction of Mario or Luigi. Spinies can also fill some platforms forcing the player to wait for them to move to progress. These levels also usually have one or more very high blocks to jump on the Lakitu, thus stopping the Spinies for a time though eventually, a new Lakitu appears.

Most levels that have a Lakitu-and-Spiny combination have many long staightaways with very few places to hide. If they are hit from below, they are bumped to the side like a Mushroom, instead of being flipped over, like a Koopa. Spinies and their eggs can only be defeated by a Fire Flower or a Starman as Mario takes damage if he tries to stomp on it. In this game, Spiny's eggs are always thrown by the Lakitus.
