Foreman Spike (SSS)

:This article is strictly about how Foreman Spike appeared in Super Smash Stadium. For information about him in general, see his article on MarioWiki.
Foreman Spike is a retired character on Super Smash Stadium. He debuted alongside Wrecking Crew and made only 11 appearances, all in Season 2.
==In his own universe==
Spike was a jerk of a construction worker who constantly tried to hinder Mario and Luigi's jobs, probably so he could rake in the money for himself. This might explain why in a Japan-only Super NES sequel, Wrecking Crew '98, he bears more of a resemblance to Wario and explicity works for Bowser.
==Attributes==
Spike was a typical heavyweight of the time: slow but powerful. He could do some insane damage if he could land his Smash attacks...and that was the problem. Since his attacks were mostly slow and could be telegraphed from a mile away, he didn't see much success.
Spike was helped somewhat by the fact that shields didn't exist on SSS while he was active, as the game was still operating on NES specs...and that's what ultimately led to his retirement. The show upgraded to Super NES specs in April 1974, and shields, as well as dodges, were introduced to the game as a result of those upgrades. The staff felt that Spike wouldn't be able to handle the new mechanics, so out the door he went.
===Changes===
