Spikes are great. Only thing that might make em bad is level design and that's entirely unrelated to spikes.
You see spikes, you don't wanna touch em. Perfect obstacle.

When devs decide that your character can't swim. What kind of sissy shit is that? Even a 5 year old can swim and you just sink like a rock. Maaan frick dat shiet
holy frick that pissed me off in that game. they designed the game with the big movement in mind but early on when you don't have it the world feels moronic, you can't cross this thin ass fricking river cuz your useless character can't be in the water for 2 seconds
Reminder that the mountain was supposed to be an entire world. Would've been so cool to have an actually fleshed out volcano level. I hate how rushed SMS was.
What's bad about spikes

That's precisely what makes spikes so shit. They're dishonest obstacles.
Devour wiener
you are trolling
Anon, you're not supposed to attempt to shove the spikes in your pussy.
Spikes are great in this context. They tell the player, "Hey, maybe dont be a fricking moron next time when platforming"
upwards facing spikes are only bad when they're the shitty kinds that hurt you when you walk towards them from the side while on the ground.
Man face drawing
Buster's Hidden Treasure has two types of spikes. Short stubby ones that only hurt you and long needle like ones that kill you in one hit.
Spikes are the great equalizer.
>the last level should be easy!
No
Spikes are real! We're living in a video game. It's a kid's dream come true!
