'''Spikes''' are hazards found in many levels throughout the ''[[Kirby (series)|Kirby]]'' series. They coat certain areas of floors, walls or ceilings, and do a moderate amount of [[damage]] to anything that touches them.

'''Spikes''' are hazards found in many areas throughout the [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]]. They coat certain areas of floors, walls or ceilings, and do a moderate amount of [[damage]] to playable characters who touch them.


Spikes cannot be destroyed by any means, and instead should be avoided. Touching one will deal a fair amount of damage, and cause [[Kirby]] to lose whatever [[Copy Ability]] he has. [[Ability Star]]s and many other items will also break immediately upon touching spikes. If Kirby is under the effects of an [[Invincibility Candy]], or is using a move with invulnerability frames such as [[Burning]], he can pass through spikes without taking damage.

==Enemies and spikes==
In many older ''Kirby'' games, enemies tend to be unaffected by spikes, which can lead to odd sights where Waddle Dees can be seen walking care-free through them. Starting with ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'', however, spikes will also hurt enemies who make contact with them.
 
==Side-effects of spike damage==
Much like when getting hit by enemies, taking damage from spikes will give Kirby a brief window of post-hit invulnerability, to allow him to escape before taking further damage. These few seconds of invincibility can be used to bypass other hazards in certain circumstances, as things like [[Gordo]]s and other dangerous foes are often placed in and around spike pits.
