Foreman Spike (Life & Death)

Foreman Spike (ブラッキー, Blackey) is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Life or Death.
Foreman Spike is a construction foreman that made his debut in the Wrecking Crew series of games, where he often served as an obstacle to the Mario Bros. in the games, often attempting to smash down walls that would harm both Mario and Luigi. Foreman Spike also later appeared in the Japan-only games, Mobile Golf which was his only appearance within the Mario Golf series, and Wrecking Crew '98 where he worked under Bowser by building skyscrapers across the Mushroom Kingdom that Mario would have to destroy.
Foreman Spike is voiced by Sebastian Maniscalco in-game, who reprises the role from The Super Mario Bros. Movie by Nintendo & Illumination.

Neutral Special	Gotcha Wrench 	Foreman Spike tosses a purple Gotcha Wrench forward towards the opponent. The distance that the Gotcha Wrench will travel is equivalent to the space that Dedede takes up while laying down on a stage.
Side Special 	Foreman Charge	Foreman Spike charges towards the opponent with what appears to be a rather weak shoulder bash, then proceeds to add on two additional hits from his hammer while moving fast.
Up Special 	Eggplant Rope 	Foreman Spike sends out three Eggplant Men, who form a ladder that allows Foreman Spike to climb onto them. This move is similar to Olimar's up special from Brawl, Pikmin Chain. The move can be used to hit opponents as well.
Down Special 	Oil Slick 	Foreman Spike sprays the opponent with hot oil, which lingers on the opponent for a short time, as well as burning some opponents. Any oil that doesn't hit the opponent will remain on the stage for a short time, leaving opponents to trip similar to a Banana Peel.
Final Smash 	Wrecking Golf!	Foreman Spike hits the opponent with his hammer, launching them into an urban golf course. Any opponents caught within the attack are then hit by Foreman Spike's golf club and launched into a building similar to the Wrecking Crew stage where they crash into explosives and are ko'd upon causing the building to explode.

==Fighter Spirits==
Foreman Spike's Fighter Spirit can be obtained by completing Classic Mode. It is also available periodically for purchase in the shop for 500 coins. Unlocking Foreman Spike in The Kiss of Death allows the player to preview the first spirit below in the Spirit List under the name "???". As a Fighter Spirit, it cannot be used in Spirit Battles and is purely aesthetic. Each Fighter Spirit has an alternate version that replaces them with their artwork in Life & Death.
