What are Spike Ball Plants?

Found in the Haunted Towers

Luigi

Spike ball plants can be found in the Haunted Towers mansion. These are plants that produce spiky balls that can be used as projectiles when vacuumed up and blown out.

The first spike ball plants you may see in the game can be found in the garden just outside the pinwheel gate of the Haunted Towers.

Projectile Weapons

Luigi
Spike balls can be used as weapons against non-ghost enemies, since they can deal damage when shot out. They're particularly good to use against flytraps, since these enemies are immune to the Strobulb's flash.
