Spike stars

 are hazards in The Bucket. They are gray coloured, and have a spike pointing out of each side, with a tinier spike between two spikes, that periodically moves in and out. They are positioned usually in groups, and either against a wall or in the air. They are unaffected by enemies, Wind or Water.

They will deplete 1 star from the Raccoons health, but throw back the Mystical Flying Fish, dealing no damage. If a Spike Star positioned in the air, the player will have to potion the Mystical Flying Fish so that the spikes go through the rope attached to the Bucket.
