- Little spikes are small and silver, and they are found on the left side of small black poles that stick up when Bob walks near them. Therefore, Bob must jump over them.
- Arrows - Arrows hang on the ceiling of the cave, and they will fall on Bob if he walks near them. To avoid them, Bob must stop before the arrow lands on him, then continue waking once the arrow has fallen. Arrows are white and consist of a triangle attached to a rectangle.

- Smasher columns - Smasher columns smash down onto the ground every few seconds. They are black and shaped like a column that supports a structure or building. To avoid them, Bob must stop before touching them and wait until the column moves upwards. Then, he must quickly walk under them to safety.
