Foreman Spike

Foreman Spike, occasionally referred to simply as Spike, is the foreman of the demolition site where Mario and Luigi work in Wrecking Crew. He continuously tries to hinder the brothers' progress. He is usually depicted as a dark-bearded man who wears sunglasses, although in Wrecking Crew '98, he does not have a beard.

Foreman Spike was designed by Hiroji Kiyotake, who is also the original designer of Wario.

In Idea Wiki

 * Spike is an antagonist in The Yoshi Movie (a spin-off/sequel of The Super Mario Bros. Movie (2023)), with Sebastian Maniscalco reprising his role. In the film, he is facing financial problems due to allegations thrown against him for the horrific accidents which led to most of his workers getting gravely injured or killed (like Bonnie's parents), and several of his crew members having quit after they reportedly accused Spike of not taking responsibility for the incidents; some former workers regard Spike's issues as karma for having antagonized Mario and Luigi about their pumbling business (which has become more successful). In order to regain his falling reputation, Spike seeks to exterminate Yoshi, whom he believes to be one of Bowser's minions who invaded Brooklyn.
