First Appearance: Super Mario Bros. 3

Year: 1989

Spike is an enemy in the Mario Series. His first appearance was in Super Mario Bros. 3 where he appeared on ice stages. His only attack is to pull a giant spiked ball out of his mouth, and then throw or toss it at you. His next appearance was in Yoshi's Story for the Nintendo 64, where he appeared on the jungle stage, where he did the exact same thing as he did in Super Mario Bros 3.

Much later, a variety of Spikes appear in the game New Super Mario Bros. for the Nintendo DS called Snow Spike. In the game, the Snowspike will, like a regular Spike, will throw his projectile at Mario, but instead of a spike ball, he tosses a snowball which will gradually increase in size as it rolls.
