Disaster Spike

Fury Stakes are large, spike-shaped platforms created by Fury Bowser In the Bowser's Fury campaign of Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury. They have a similar color scheme similar to Fury Bowser, with a dark black base that transitions to a red-orange midsection and a sharp, bright yellow tip.

Fury Stakes will rain down from the sky all throughout the islands of Lake Lapcat during Fury Bowser's rampages. Their sharp tips enable them to plunge into the ground and walls of the islands and their various structures. While they appear very quickly, their landing spots are designated by a yellow light. Some Fury Stakes on the ground have a ? Block, coins, or Mushroom Trampolines on them. Many Fury Stakes are placed in consecutive locations; their formations sometimes enable Mario to jump from one to another to scale the various structures of the islands more quickly than normal.

Fury Stakes usually appear near groups of Fury Blocks as well. If Mario coaxes Fury Bowser into firing a large beam of fire towards the Fury Blocks, he can hide behind a Fury Stake or other walls to avoid taking damage. However, shortly after the fire beam moves past a Fury Stake, it will break apart from the strength of the attack. When Fury Bowser stops rampaging, all Fury Stakes will break apart regardless.

Golden variants of Fury Stakes also appear alongside their normal counterparts, albeit semi-rarely. There are usually ? Blocks above them that have multiple coins inside. If a golden Fury Stake breaks apart, either from a large beam of fire or Fury Bowser's rampage ending, a circle of several coins will be released for Mario to collect.

During the final battle with Fury Bowser, he will dig into the ground to create many gigantic Fury Stakes at once as one of his attacks. The Fury Stakes will fall down from the air, with their landing spot designated by flashing red markers. Once they have landed, Giga Cat Mario can pick them up and throw them at Fury Bowser, who will take damage and flip over into his shell for a short time, leaving him vulnerable to a Ground Pound. The player can grab nearby Fury Stakes immediately after Ground Pounding, enabling them to quickly deplete large portions of Fury Bowser's health without giving him a chance to attack.

Super Bowser also uses Fury Stakes in his battle, sending waves of them shooting across the water at Mario and Plessie. The latter can either jump over them or dive under them to avoid Mario taking damage.
