Minute Cryptic Feb. 19 - Spiny-flinging Lakitu still defeats Mario & Luigi at the second level (7)

I've been enjoying these puzzles. I thought it might be useful to have a thumbnail instead of just the link to https://www.minutecryptic.com/, and also include the cryptic in the puzzle title since they're pretty short. Anyone have opinions?

Pinging @miscellanii@lemm.ee in particular, since you've posted the puzzle most recently to this community.
