Mario and Luigi have amassed quite the rogue's gallery over the years. Bowser, king of the Koopa Clan; Wart, despot of dream land; Wario, covetous cretin. Before any of them rose to infamy, Foreman Spike terrorized the brothers Mario as they tried to work their day jobs at a demolition site.

Spike is a heavyset, hairy man who disguises a seething spite with his massive sunglasses. Despite being the Mario Bros.' direct supervisor, he took it upon himself to stop them from doing their jobs at any cost. He'd sneak about behind the walls marked for demolition, hammer in hand, ready to smack his subordinates straight down to the floors below. They say he keeps monsters around just to mess with his hapless handymen.
