Game	Super Cat Tales 2

Giant spike soldiers are enemies in Super Cat Tales 2. They are the only giant member of the Tin Army to have no normal-sized variation.

Physical appearance

Giant spike soldiers have a semicircular light-gray body with a red, thin and rectangular base. White spikes line the surface of the red base and wrap around the giant spike soldier, and they also have a smaller white spike at the top of their body. They also have a pair of curved black eyes and a dark gray crank sticking out of their back side.

Behavior

Giant spike soldiers are found on flat ground and will move at a constant pace, turning at walls and ledges. As they move, their spiky base turns, along with their crank. These spikes can damage the player on contact, including when they are inside a tank.

Strategy

Due to their spikes, giant spike soldiers will cause damage to the player on contact from any side (including non-spiked surfaces), even when run into with Olli or Robo Kitty. The player can still defeat a giant spike soldier using a cat equipped with the band aid, which can heal the cat faster than the giant spike soldier takes to recover from its stun when hit. This allows the player to defeat the enemy in two hits as if they were a normal giant variation of an enemy.

To defeat a giant spike soldier without taking damage, the player can shoot it when inside a tank. If the enemy is encountered in a level without a tank, the player can use Luna to allow the giant spike soldier to pass through while remaining still or they can jump over it if it is located within an enclosed area with a ledge.
