Troubles with Spike Tops (Sprite 2E)

For whatever reason, I can never get these guys to show up. I can have a screen with six different types of Pirhana Plants, four of which are custom sprites, show up on a single screen with no problem but can't even have one Spike Top without it not even appearing.

Do Spike Tops require a different sprite header to show up properly? They don't seem to be the type of sprite that would need it...
Spike Tops are coded somewhat weird. From my experience, they only show up if the screen scrolls from the left to the right. For example, If they are off the screen because of some vertical scroll they will disappear directly (even if you could see them before) or they doesn't show up at all.

That would make sense. In one level I got them to show up because it is left to right but in the level I'm doing now (a vertical one just like you described) you'll aprroach them going right to left.

I guess I'll just have to find a way around this problem...Too bad though, they would've made some jumps a bit more challenging.

Someone should really find a way to fix this or and least understand why they do this.
