Spikesters are stronger, green-shelled relatives of Spikeys that appear in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars and its remake. Spikesters are common in Booster Pass; most of them are dropped by a Lakitu. They do not appear anywhere else in the game. In battle they are joined by Carroboscis and Artichokers.
