Spike Tops are little beetle-like creatures with a red shell, yellow skin, and two red glowing eyes. Their most notable feature is their spike on the top of their shells (hence the name). Though Spike Tops aren't limited to just red shells, in Star Haven, they're shown with purple shells.

Spike Tops look the exact same in Newer Super Mario Bros. DS, except, of course, they have a lower polygon model.
