If you've ever wondered what happens to the shells of dead Spinies, well, now you know.

Spike Blop

Does your Blop-flavored chewing gum lose its' flavor hanging from the ceiling overnight?




Several blobs of green slime, each wearing a red, spiked turtle shell on top of its' head, ooze across the floor in your general direction. Before you can do anything about them, something suddenly slams into the ground beside your feet, narrowly missing you--it's another one of the creatures! Upside-down, its' sharp spines impaled in the earth, the gel wriggles madly as it attempts to right itself. Glancing upwards, you're dismayed to find several more of the gooey monsters slithering across the ceiling directly above you. As if on cue, they release their sticky grip on the stone surface and plummet downwards . . .


I dare you to step on me!

Spike Blops are armored slime monsters that can be encountered in 2009's Nintendo Dual Screen (DS) Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story roleplaying video game (RPG).

Spike Blops have two methods of attack that they can employ: First, they simply charge into their opponents, skewering them on their helmets, and, second, when located on a ceiling (which they can reach by leaping), they drop downwards when someone foolishly passes by underneath, impaling the target on impact. Naturally, due to their prickly head gear, Spike Blops cannot be stomped on without incurring injury--have Mario or Luigi give them a good smack with the hammer instead.
