Spoing

Spoings are spiders that appear in Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2. Whenever they see Mario, they hop in the air and then back down. Spoings can easily be defeated by jumping on them or spinning into them. They are commonly found in the Space Junk Galaxy (where their leader Tarantox is fought) and in the Flip-Out Galaxy. Whenever they successfully hit Mario, they snicker upon contact. They have a web-hating equivalent called Spanglers.
