Platforms that are manipulated by weight. Too much weight on one side can drastically alter the equilibrium. *Not to be confused with Unstable Platforms*
Sometimes after killing a boss (or other large enemy), players can walk over its lifeless corpse in order to progress.
A Directed Escape is an interactive gameplay sequence where the player is unable to successfully fight back or otherwise survive, and is forced to flee to the next checkpoint to resume normal play.
This concept deals with platforms that phase in and out of existence as time passes. It is used to create tricky platforming situations requiring excellent timing to overcome.
The act of using one's enemies as platforms, be they stationary or moving, permanent or temporary.
A floor that is easily destroyed. Expected traps in old mansions.
Jumping puzzles are generally implemented in fast-paced action games as a way to slow down the progress of the player. Failure often results in certain death.
These are often a departure from the conventional gameplay of a game. There have also been compilations; games including only minigames. The Mario Party series has a lot of minigames, too!
Platforms conveniently moving you towards your destination to allow the crossing of large expanses which would otherwise be impossible to cross.
A place to fall, often bottomless, usually resulting in death.
Platforms that spin around their own axis. May cause disorientation.
Platforms that sway back and forth in a curved manner.
A mechanical system designed to capture or cause harm. Either the player can set traps for their enemies or others set them for the player.
