'''Urchins''' are spiked aquatic creatures that have appeared as enemies throughout the [[Mario (series)|''Mario'' series]]. As their name and appearance suggest, they are based on real-life [[wikipedia:Sea Urchin|Sea Urchins]]. They are slow, yet though enemies that [[Mario]] must avoid usually because they cannot be defeated by normal means, like a simple [[Stomp]]. Although they live mostly underwater, Urchins can also live on land.

Several Urchins make a small appearance in the [[Super Mario World (television series)|''Super Mario World'']] episode "[[Mama Luigi]]". In the episode, Luigi and Yoshi, while being chased through an underwater tunnel by a [[Rip Van Fish]], almost swim directly into several Urchins. Luckily, Luigi and Yoshi manage to avoid bumping into these Urchins.

====''Mario Party 9''====
In ''[[Mario Party 9]]'', Urchins appear in the [[minigame]] [[Pier Pressure]]. The ten fishing rods either have [[Cheep-Cheep]]s or Urchins at the end of them; if the player ends up choosing one with an Urchin on it, he or she is eliminated.

[[Blooper]] also tosses Urchins at the players in its boss minigame, [[Blooper Barrage]]. They target a specific player, and their course can be redirected by hitting it with a [[cannonball]]. Getting hit by an Urchin results in that player losing one point; hitting it right before it is about to hit the player sends in into the sea below. Additionally, in the minigame [[Bowser's Block Battle]], if Blooper appears on the stage, it attacks by throwing Urchins at the players.

''Urchins are spiky blue fish that Mario must face in an underwater challenge in the Beach Bowl Galaxy and a land mission in the Freezeflame Galaxy. They roll along the seafloor or ground trying to poke Mario with their spikes. There are also red Urchins in lava areas that Mario can hit with a fireball or trick into falling into the lava.''
