Metal Spikes

Metal spikes are obstacles that are extremely easy to avoid; they are always sunken into the ground and the tops of the spikes are typically at the ground level of the previous step. Jumping forward, jumping straight up, and even in some cases rolling right over them will allow you to avoid the obstacle with ease. Often, these metal spikes are located on treacherous terrain, which is the main challenge when facing this particular obstacle.

When you are faced with terrain that seems a bit uneven, it is important to jump with precision. Jumping too far can lead you right over the edge and right into a pit where the metal spikes are located. Jumping into these spikes is likely to cause you instant death. Jumping too short isn’t quite as much of a problem, however it is a problem nonetheless because it can give you a much smaller window to react. Since your goal is to get the farthest you’ve ever been in each run, you don’t want to make things harder on yourself and one step to victory is avoiding simple yet sensitive obstacles such as this one.
