Personality
As a cranky villager, Spike will appear mature compared to other personality types. This will make him appear belittling and insensitive to other villagers, including the player. Despite this, he will learn to confide in the player, considering them his only friend. He will enjoy the usual hobbies, but for relaxation and peace rather than for competition. He will find it difficult to socialize with peppy villagers, who he will criticize when talking to other villagers. He will get along with normal and snooty villagers, as well as other cranky villagers, who he will share deeper conversations with. He will, on occasion, annoy a normal villager, usually when being mean about something or someone. Smug and uchi villagers may be difficult for him to get along with, as he tends to talk about them behind their backs or get them angry.

House
In his house, Spike has the Construction Theme. He listens to "Surfin' K.K.."

When he returned in the Welcome Amiibo update, his house now has a sort of sporty theme to it. His house has the Concrete Wall wallpaper and unknown Flooring. He owns a Jukebox which plays "K.K. House."
