Spinni has the general appearance of a mouse with yellow fur, with similar body proportions to [[Daroach]], though not possessing Daroach's long claws. His size is middling, being larger than [[Doc]] and the regular [[Squeaker]]s, though smaller than Daroach and [[Storo]]. He wears a set of opaque triangular red sunglasses over his eyes and a long red cape around his neck.

The North American English manual for ''{{KSqS KMoA}}'' describes Spinni as "the Speed"<ref>''Kirby: Squeak Squad'' Instruction Booklet (NA Print), page 5</ref>. This is reflected in Spinni's respectable running speed and agility, being able to make large leaps over obstacles and often challenging Kirby to races for [[Treasure Chest]]s. When not attempting to evade Kirby, Spinni attacks using either throwing stars or a metal rake claw. When Spinni is hit, he may drop one of these weapons: inhaling the throwing star will give Kirby the [[Ninja]] [[Copy Ability]], and inhaling the claw will give him the [[Animal]] ability. Like Doc and Storo, Spinni will drop a treasure chest he is carrying if he is attacked, and can be stunned after subsequent hits in order to make other items drop, such as [[food]]. Depleting Spinni's [[health]] bar will cause him to vanish in an explosion, rather than become inhalable like regular mid-bosses.

One notable aspect of Spinni is his exceptional swimming ability; a trait that most other mid-bosses lack.

[[File:KSqS Spinni Sprite.png|left]]Spinni is a reoccurring Mid Boss in ''[[Kirby: Squeak Squad]]''. He is the fastest of the four lead Squeaks. Spinni usually appears on levels with set paths or levels where Kirby must race to get the large treasure chest.

Like [[Storo]], he sometimes appears when Kirby obtains a large chest. As such, his main goal is to steal [[Kirby]]'s chest and take it to the Squeaks' hideouts. [[Kirby]] can either run away with the chest, defeat Spinni, or if Spinni already obtained the chest, Kirby can quickly go to the hideout to defeat him. Spinni's method of attacking is by either hitting Kirby with a claw or shuriken (ninja star), both of which may be inhaled and thrown back at him or swallowed to get either the [[Animal]] ability if Spinni drops his claw and Kirby swallows it, or the [[Ninja]] ability if Kirby swallows the shuriken when it is thrown at him.
