{{Quote|Pound stakes into the ground with the Stone and Hammer abilities!|In-game tip from ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]''}}
A '''Stake''' (also called a '''Peg''' or '''Post''') is a wooden post object that sticks out from the ground. It appears in many ''[[Kirby (series)|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 [[block]]s 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]] [[Super 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, the ice must first be broken away, which can be done with any fire-based attack or more directly with a [[Power Effect|Sizzle]] Hammer.

===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 which is typically attached to a [[Wire (object)|wire]]. If hit, it will simply reset unless hit with a [[Power Effect|Zap]] Hammer or with [[Geokinesis]]. If submerged in water, this stake cannot be activated at all.
