Wooden stake

Wooden stakes are obstacles that are partially driven into the ground and block the way. Pikmin can stand on top of the flat side, and each Pikmin that does so adds weight onto it. When enough weight has been applied, the Pikmin on top of the flat end simultaneously jump to force the stake completely in the ground.

Some wooden stakes stick through both the top and the bottom of the ground and have two flat ends. When Pikmin are thrown up at the flat end of the stake's bottom, it will be pushed up slightly for each Pikmin thrown. Any Pikmin standing on the flat end of the stake's top will jump up slightly as a result of the jolting movement created.
