Spikes are a form of danger. Characters that land on them are instantly impaled.
While being very difficult, there is a possible way to "hop" straight across spikes, you must jump as soon as you touch them. This is usually an accident as result of a player attempting to "ace" a level nervously taps their X button. This glitch probably won't result in the Sack Heroes achieving their wish of jumping over their troubles. This glitch may also work on electricity and fire.
In LittleBigPlanet, LittleBigPlanet 2, and LittleBigPlanet 3, they come in two types, Small (3 Spikes in a vertical row) and Large (9 Spikes in a 3 x 3 arrangement). LittleBigPlanet PSP has the same types, but Small Spikes have two spikes on a platform in a vertical row and Large Spikes only have six in a 3 x 2 arrangement. LittleBigPlanet 3 introduced top down versions of the two types. In LittleBigPlanet PS Vita, they come in three types, Single (one spike), Double (same as LittleBigPlanet PSP small spikes), and Quadruple (four spikes in a 2 x 2 arrangement).
In the LittleBigPlanet story mode, they are seen mainly in The Wedding and in The Islands.
Trivia[]
- During early development of LittleBigPlanet, when Sackboy fell on the spikes, he would be impaled, but creators thought it looked too violent. So they changed it to its current animation.
