Characteristics
Link's Awakening
To defeat Spike Roller, Link can use the Roc's Feather to jump over the Spiketrap that he pushes in his direction. Then he must attack him with the Sword as many times as possible before he can get back behind the Spiketrap. Defeating Spike Roller will open the way to the Boss, Moldorm, and open a warp back to the entrance of the Dungeon.
Spike Roller also appears as one of many previous Sub-Bosses in Turtle Rock. If defeated in Turtle Rock, he will return like a regular enemy.
Other Appearances
Link's Awakening (Cagiva)
In the Link's Awakening manga by Ataru Cagiva, Link fights Spike Roller inside Tail Cave before reaching Moldorm.
Nomenclature
It is likely that the name "Rolling Bones" is a play on the famous rock band, The Rolling Stones.
