The internal name for Spiny has been found in code for Switch 2's Mario Kart World. It is unclear how they'd actually drive the vehicles.
A dataminer has uncovered something peculiar in the code of Mario Kart World. Spiny, a tiny little turtle-looking fella with a spiky shell, was meant to be a driver in the game.
This information was discovered by Bluesky user Benial, with Spiny's internal name 'Togezo' listed alongside a selection of other characters. As of writing there's been no model, animation, nor idea of how exactly Spiny would imagine such a feat discovered.
