Fuse

An example of a particularly long fuse connected to a cannon in Kirby's Adventure.

A Fuse is an object that connects to a Fuse Cannon or other object. It consists of a long rope that can stretch across an area, usually embedded in the ground, which can be lit on the free end by a Fire-based attack.

Fuses are lit with the express purpose of firing a Fuse Cannon. Once the fuse is lit, the spark will travel along the length of the fuse until it reaches the cannon, wherein the cannon will fire. Kirby has that time to jump into the cannon if he wants to be fired to a new location. Should he fail to get inside before the cannon goes off, the fuse will regenerate, taking the same shape as it had before (except in Kirby's Adventure, where Kirby will actually need to leave the area with the fuse end and come back to regenerate it, like how enemies respawn).

In Kirby: Triple Deluxe, fuses could be split, with pieces laying on a Tilt Fuse Box. In cases like these, the unknown reader would need to tilt the Nintendo 3DS system to line up the ends of the fuses to burn them through.

Wire

In Kirby: Planet Robobot and Kirby Star Allies, another object, similar to a fuse exists, known as Wire. Instead of being set off by a fire-based attack, it has to be set off by an electric-based attack, with the spark going along the length of the wire to power some device or another at the end of it. Sometimes, a spark can return to the free end of the wire, but nothing will result of it. Unlike a fuse, a wire can manage multiple sparks at a time, since it isn't actively being burned away.

Some wires are attached to Electric Posts, and can only be set off by a Zap Hammer or by Geokinesis.
