BYE-BYE BOXBOY![]

Spikies once again return in BYE-BYE BOXBOY!, and this time they have a new ability. They are able to crawl on the background, and thus do not need to be touching the ground to move. They begin appearing in the game's 14th world Those Nesting Within.

Appearances in other media[]

Spiky makes an appearance in the third of six BOXBOY! sets available in Nintendo Badge Arcade

Trivia[]

  • Spikies first start appearing in World 14 in both BOXBOY! and BYE-BYE BOXBOY!.
  • In one of the BOXBOY! comic strips, Spiky is shown to have the same abilities as Qbby. This is, however, probably only for the sake of the comic and not an actual ability of Spiky.
