Spikey is an enemy found in Kirby's Dream Land 2 and Kirby's Block Ball. It resembles a hedgehog or porcupine with pale yellow skin and black spines. Of its face, only two oval, black eyes can be seen, and it possesses flipper-like arms and a pair of round, red feet.

Game appearances

Kirby's Dream Land 2

Two Spikeys attempting to defend themselves from Kirby and Coo in Kirby's Dream Land 2.

First appearing in the second stage of Big Forest, Spikeys constantly follow Kirby, stopping only at the edge of platforms, or when they reach Kirby. When Spikeys approach Kirby, they stop and bristle up, showing their quills, which harm Kirby if he gets too close. In this state, Spikeys are immobile. If Kirby leaves their vicinity, however, they stop defending themselves, resuming their original form of movement.

Whether or not they are showing their spines, Spikeys can be inhaled for a bonus of 200 points, or defeated using any other attack for 400 points. Swallowing them grants Kirby the Needle ability.
