Class-specific Pathways
CONCEPT
Games that feature terrain that can only be traversed by a specific character class.


Overview

Class-specific pathways are routes or terrain types that are only navigable by certain class or character types.  This is sometimes used as a method of providing a greater degree of replayability to stages by including characters that are able to traverse the terrain in a unique way.   As an example, the Samurai Warriors (Franchise) series features a small group of playable ninjas with the ability to double-jump.  This skill allows them to access special ninja paths located in some levels that serve as shortcuts.  The other playable characters, however, cannot access these paths and must use more standard routes.
