A Stake (also called a Peg or Post) is a wooden post object that sticks out from the ground. It appears in many Kirby games, starting with Kirby's Adventure, and appears in all subsequent titles featuring the Hammer Copy Ability. Stakes are found in various areas and serve as a type of switch that can only be pressed down using certain attacks. When pressed, a stake triggers a chain reaction of destroying blocks or a similar effect in the same manner as a Bomb Block.
Variants
Super Stake
In addition to normal stakes, there is also a giant Super Stake that can only be pounded in using the Grand Hammer ability. The super stake can either get pounded in incrementally, or all at once, depending on the power of the hammer swing.
Frozen Stake
In Kirby Star Allies, some stakes can be found encrusted in ice. To pound these, a Sizzle Hammer is needed.
Wall Stake
In Kirby Star Allies, stakes can be found in walls. These can only be hit using one of the three types of Curling or the Giant Swing move for Hammer.
Electric Stake
In Kirby Star Allies, there is a special electric variety of stake. If hit, it will simply reset unless hit with a Zap Hammer or with Geokinesis. If submerged in water, this stake cannot be activated at all.
