Spikies are the only living enemies to appear in the BOXBOY! series.

Physical Appearance

Spikies are black circles surrounded by spikes with a wave-like bottom. They have two white dots for eyes.

Games

BOXBOY!

Spikies first appear in BOXBOY!'s fourteenth world. Their main purpose is to be led into spiky boxes to help Qbby progress through the level. However, they kill Qbby when they touch him.

BOXBOXBOY!

Spikies return in BOXBOXBOY!, reprising the same role they did in BOXBOY!. They begin appearing in the game's 8th world The Disappearing Spiky.

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 the fourteenth world 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.
