Gimmick Level	comment	Gimmick Levels are parts of a videogame where some aspect of the game, such as the visuals or the layout, is radically changed, but the general gameplay remains the same. (If the gameplay does change, then it's a Mini-Game or an Unexpected Gameplay Change.) These sorts of levels can exist in any game, but they are far more likely in action-oriented games, where they serve to break up the normal gameplay and keep it from getting stale. Though there are innumerable ways that a level can be called a "gimmick", they generally fall into two categories: The "Technique level". This forces you to master a little-used or barely challenged ability to get through the stage. Some examples would be utilizing Wall Jumps to scale a tall cliff, or using a sonar sensor to find your way through a pitch-black maze. This form of Gimmick Level doesn't require a change in coding or visuals, just a change in the layout and placement of objects. This often happens in a level in which you first acquire the power or equipment to use said ability. Some aspect of normal gameplay is twisted or altered, such as super-bouncy platforms, reverse-gravity levels (in games where this would be more complex than just turning the screen upside down), or your weapon being replaced with a whip. If taken too far, the Gimmick Level may end up being an Unexpected Gameplay Change. Subtropes: Gravity Screw (when a level employs gravity shifts to alter the exploration and/or the control scheme) Blackout Basement (a level with drastically reduced visibility) Minecart Madness (a level where the player has to ride a minecart through rails) Auto Scrolling (a level that forces the player to move forward, upward or downward both to get up with the camera's scrolling) Boss-Only Level (a level that eschews standard gameplay activities in favor of a boss battle) Slippy-Slidey Ice World, Lethal Lava Land, and other themed stages can also fall into this, depending on if something is needed to traverse the level, and how far they lean into it. Stage-long Interface Screws and Stock Videogame Puzzles could also be considered Gimmick Levels.

Gimmick Level / int_1973b10a	comment	All of the Sonic Unleashed stages in the 360 and PS3 version that comes directly after a main daytime stage requires heavy use of one of Sonic's skills. For instance, Windmill Isle's stage tested the player's ability to use rails, Savannah Citadel's tested the Sonic Drift, Rooftop Run's tested the Homing Attack, and so forth. These were always Nintendo Hard. This would return, toned down in difficulty, in Sonic Generations, and uses stage gimmicks rather than abilities.

Gimmick Level / int_1c1ceec7	comment	Monster Hunter: Hunting Jhen Mohran and Dah'ren Mohran in Monster Hunter 3 (Tri) and Monster Hunter 4 respectively, and their corresponding rereleases, is much different than hunting most large monsters. In almost every other case, the monster would spawn somewhere on a sprawling map and you chase them down. The Mohrans are instead fought in two phases on a single part of the map: the first is a Battleship Raid style, where you attack the leviathans with ballistas and cannons while preventing them from destroying the ship you ride, and occasionally leaping on top of them to deal damage or gather materials from their back. While most enemies have a roulette of attacks, the Mohrans' attacks are largely scripted in the first part. The second phase is an Advancing Boss of Doom where you're on solid ground and have to stall until time runs out or you manage to kill it, occasionally using the ship's defenses to prevent damage to the ship. Even the other Elder Dragons in the series whose battles involve Tower Defense-based sequences (like Lao Shan Lung in the first generation of games and Ceadeus from the same third generation as Jhen Mohran), as well as the crustacean Shen Gaoren in the second, are fought with closer gameplay to the usual formula. Monster Hunter: Rise: The Rampage quests operate in a different way from standard hunting quests. The objective is to use the weaponry used in Kamura to protect the village from incoming threats in order to defeat the monsters that approach your vicinity and prevent them from breaking the gate that leads to the village. All of these monsters are guided by a powerful monster (usually an Apex monster), which has to be dealt with in the last part of the quest as well to succeed.

This is necessary, as the whole level is spent in outer space; if Sonic doesn't keep collecting rings in order to stay invincible, he'll become regular Sonic again and immediately fall to his death.

Gimmick Level / int_223c2a48	comment	The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild: Eventide Island. Upon landing on the shore, the voice of the resident Sheikah monk informs you that in order to access the shrine, you must activate the three keys while deprived of all the weapons, armor, and other items you have collected up to that point (though you keep the Sheikah Slate and its runes). This means you must forage and steal items from enemies just like the Great Plateau at the beginning of the game. This is especially tricky when getting the key from the resident Hinox. Once you activate the keys, you get all your stuff back. Notably there's a way to Rules Lawyer your way around the restriction by leaving gear on the raft before coming to shore, as it will still be there after losing your stuff for you to pick up (you technically picked it up after the challenge began). Just make sure to drop it back on the raft before finishing the challenge, as part of the rules also mean you lose everything you found during the challenge when it is completed. This game features 120 shrines, a majority of which rely on specialized techniques or concepts. For example: Levels requiring you to roll a ball through a maze with motion controls. Levels centered around updrafts. Puzzle levels forcing you to find the solution, which are all unique. Solving riddles to find the shrines. Stacking blocks with Magnesis to climb around. Abusing Stasis to throw items into a target. Facing a Mini-Boss Guardian Scout in a wide-open battlefield.

Gimmick Level / int_22e5872a	comment	The Donkey Kong Country series has had more and more of these as it went on. Donkey Kong Country: There are levels with unique setpieces or concepts, though they're in the minority when compared to later games in the series. Standouts include the Minecart Madness levels, a level where you have to constantly fuel up a moving platform, or even a level with Stop & Go Barrels that toggle the effects of its features. Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest: The game's level proportion is roughly half-and-half (half gimmick levels, half traditional levels). One such example of the former is Rickety Race, where Diddy and Dixie are racing against nine Klanks in a Minecart Madness railtrack; it's not necessary to get past or defeat them, but each of them yields a prize, and the first one in particular holds the level's DK Coin, so catching that Klank is the only way the two Kong lovers can gather the desired special item. Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!: By the time this game came out, the traditional levels began being in the minority. Some of the game's more memorable examples include a mostly swimming level where your left/right controls are reversed while in the water, a level with significantly decreased gravity, a level where through the entire thing an offscreen enemy is shooting at you, a difficult level where lightning is constantly trying to strike you, and a level where a hungry fish is constantly following you and have to feed normal fish enemies to him to keep him from attacking. Even the "normal" platform levels in the game usually feature some sort of one-off gimmicky enemy seen nowhere else in the game. Donkey Kong Land III averts this by having no gimmick levels at all, possibly due to engine limitations. In Donkey Kong Country Returns, World 4 is notoriously dedicated to levels based on Minecart Madness and Rocket Ride. These levels appear much less often in the other worlds in comparison, including the sequel Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze.

These range from simple edits (There Can Be Only One restricts you to one of each tower type), to more complex gimmicks (Wizard Lord gives you a free 4/4 Monkey Apprentice, but he consumes the most expensive tower on the map every other round, and you lose if he can't sacrifice anything), to entire custom rounds (MOAB Madness gives you $50,000 to defeat a single rush of 50 MOABs). BTD6 has the Advanced map Geared. While most maps have your towers remain in the same place, on Geared, they change their position every round due to the giant gear they're placed on rotating.

However, Star-Crossed Skyway stands out because reaching the end won't be enough: the objective for each player is to gather more Mini-Stars than the rest (much like in the boards of Mario Party 9). Another exception is Bowser's Peculiar Peak, where the objective is to be the last player to reach the goal line, since the ones reaching first will be punished by Bowser (this also requires losing the minigames to the fullest extent possible).

Gimmick Level / int_4957ba36	comment	RollerCoaster Tycoon has had more and more Gimmick Levels in each of its successive expansion packs. Setting aside parks that are merely based around a certain scenic theme or ride selection (such as Aqua Park and Karts & Coasters in the original level pack, which have exactly the types of rides their names would lead you to expect), we have: Crumbly Woods (original level pack, scenario 16), where all of the rides are old and unreliable. Ivory Towers (scenario 19), a pack that is a complete mess and requires fixing up. Rainbow Valley (scenario 20), which forbids any changes to the landscape or scenery. Gentle Glen (Corkscrew Follies, scenario 9), where all guests prefer lower-intensity rides (less than 4). Sprightly Park (scenario 12), sort of a ramped-up version of Crumbly Woods; the rides are very old, and in addition, you cannot build any modern-style rides. Thunderstorm Park (scenario 17), with extra-rainy weather. Harmonic Hills (scenario 18): no landscape changes, scenery removal, or building above tree height. Adrenaline Heights (scenario 21), sort of the opposite of Gentle Glen, where all guests prefer higher-intensity rides (more than 9). Rotting Heights (scenario 23), where the park is overgrown and falling to pieces and must be restored. Fiasco Forest (scenario 24), where the rides are designed badly (some to the point of lethality), and you have to fix up the park...in only 1 year and with a loan of only Â¤8000. Pickle Park (scenario 25), which forbids all advertising campaigns. Coaster Crazy (scenario 28), where your goal is instead to build 10 different types of roller coaster of at least a given excitement rating but with no time limit. Loopy Landscapes has several new objective types that could qualify as gimmicks, one of which is to finish building 5 partially-built roller coasters in the park and design them to have at least a given excitement rating. This one shows up in 4 scenarios. Within this objective, one of the parks that has it (Tiny Towers, scenario 23) is, as the name would suggest, very small. It also brings back the "build 10 roller coasters" objective from Coaster Crazy, which shows up in 5 scenarios (2 of which have the added difficulty of the coasters needing to be a minimum length). One of them also has the park shaped like a long, thin strip of land. Then 4 more scenarios give you infinite money and time but require a certain number of guests in the park without letting the park rating drop too low for too long. And 4 more require you to make a certain monthly income from ride tickets. Outside of the new objectives, there is Woodworm Park (scenario 14), which, like Sprightly Park, does not give you any modern-style rides. And, finally, Micro Park (scenario 30), the last scenario, which is the smallest park in the game after Urban Park from Corkscrew Follies (which could be expanded; Micro Park cannot).

Gimmick Level / int_49ad83ee	comment	While most World of Warcraft bosses have somewhat unique combination of abilities very few manage to get to the level of "gimmicky". The list for Wrath of The Lich King: Heigan the Unclean - "Heigan's dance" - you have to move around the room in the fixed pattern to avoid getting one-shotted by flames. Malygos - at the end of encounter all the raid gets on red dragons and you have to use dragons' skills to finish him off. For some reasonnote Unexpected Game Play Change from a 2.5d game to a 3d flight one requiring precision positioning using new skills with no chance to practice. a lot of people suck at that and the fight ends up as That One Level. Flame Leviathan - get on various tanks and battle a really huge tank. Yogg-Saron - steadily decreasing sanity level and the need to refresh it or kill him before it runs out. Twin Valkyr - switching between light and dark attributes to counter their attacks and deal more damage to them. Profssor Putricide - one of you has to turn into a monster and eat up the poisonous goo he splatters around. Valithria Dreamwalker - you have to deal with numerous mooks while healing her (with massive buffs for your healers). There are a few from other expansions. To defeat Lord Rhyolith in the Firelands, you must attack his feet to make him turn so that he goes over the volcanoes (which results in him getting a Damage-Increasing Debuff), and he does not reach the lava at the edge (which results in him spewing magma and wiping the raid). Do that for long enough, and you get a standard burn phase, though. To win in the Spine of Deathwing encounter, you must force the Hideous Amalgamations to eat up the residue left by Corrupted Bloods, and after they absorb enough blood, kill them near the plates to expose the Burning Tendons, which you must then destroy. Garalon from Heart of Fear has a completely different approach to tanking. He will follow a person with pheromones (who must pass it to someone else every so often to minimize raid damage), and both tanks must stand in the frontal cone attack he does to prevent him from getting a damage increasing buff. Everyone else must destroy the boss's legs and stay out of the purple circle underneath the boss, to avoid him using Crush on everyone. Dark Animus from Throne of Thunder is quite complex. At the start of the fight, the small golems fill with Anima, and every time you kill one, its anima transfers to a nearby golem. Your goal is to consolidate the anima into one or two of the Massive Anima Golems before activating the Dark Animus, then destroy the Dark Animus before it absorbs all the Anima and uses a raid-wiping ability.

Gimmick Level / int_49f764e8	comment	Rhythm Doctor's boss levels have the gimmick of a Life Meter that instantly ends the level if you miss too many notes, but more importantly pile on loads of Interface Screw: The first boss, "Battleworn Insomniac", introduces a signal-jamming virus which causes Ominous Visual Glitches, static, and skipping/looping audio. The second boss, "All The Times", has the game window shrink itself, then move around your monitor. The third boss, "One Shift More", averts this, as its gimmick is simply that it's a Musical Episode mainly from Dr. Paige's perspective. The fourth boss, "Super Battleworn Insomniac", is a Dark Reprise of the first boss with the added twist of falling into Uncommon Time while ramping up the Interface Screw to extreme levels. The fifth boss, "Dreams Don't Stop", combines the gimmicks of the first and second levels and adds in the game window changing in shape and size throughout the song.

One such example of the former is Rickety Race, where Diddy and Dixie are racing against nine Klanks in a Minecart Madness railtrack; it's not necessary to get past or defeat them, but each of them yields a prize, and the first one in particular holds the level's DK Coin, so catching that Klank is the only way the two Kong lovers can gather the desired special item.

First, this course forces you to use the vintage club set; if you equip any other clubs beforehand, they'll just get swapped out when you begin the course. Second, every hole is in a state of disrepair, with fairways that have grown into roughs, puddles everywhere, and no greens; every pin is surrounded by rough, fairway, or deep rough, forcing you to putt very hard or just chip the ball in.

Gimmick Level / int_554058cf	comment	Mario Kart 8 has numerous examples, both by virtue of bringing back tracks that were already unique in some way, and by revamping the gameplay of the Tour tracks remade for the Booster Course Pass in the Updated Re-release Deluxe: Mount Wario, N64 Rainbow Road and Big Blue are raced across in one lap or A-to-B session, similar to certain Mario Kart 7 tracks (including its Rainbow Road, which was also added to Deluxe as DLC). The F-Zero tracks (Mute City and Big Blue) are completely done in anti-gravity. There are no coins on the track; instead, you have to obtain coins by driving over recharge strips, though you can still obtain coins from item boxes and by knocking them out of other racers. Deluxe not only retains these tracks, but also also adds Sky-High Sundae as part of the DLC, which is also played entirely with anti-gravity. GCN Baby Park retains the gimmick of having 7 laps (like in Double Dash!!, and unlike in DS and Tour where it only has 5), due to the course being so short, and, like the F-Zero tracks being entirely within anti-gravity. Several city-related tracks from Mario Kart Tour have been brought back as part of the Booster Course Pass of Deluxe in an interesting way: rather than just bringing a single variant of the cities to Deluxe, all variants have been combined into a single track, allowing players to race through different paths per lap. In turn, whereas most of these tracks simply have the racers go through different sections per lap, others go even further and exploit the concept in unique ways, like Paris Promenade being played entirely backwards during the third lap, Singapore Speedway and Athens Dash being actually raced in two laps (for the former, the second lap employs a section-based approach like the A-to-B or single-lap courses, thus having the second half of that layout labeled as the "third" lap; for the latter, it's the first lap which does this), Berlin Byways using the first variant of its original Tour version (instead of the third or even second like most other city tracks) for the final lap, or Los Angeles Laps which consists of one very long lap divided in three segments like certain unusually long tracks also present in the game. N64 Kalimari Desert in Deluxe combines both it and Kalimari Desert 2 from Tour into one, with the first lap being the original route and the second and third laps being both sections of Kalimari Desert 2. DS Peach Gardens, brought back for Wave 3 of the Booster Course Pass, is reconfigured to be raced in similar fashion to Paris Promenade. You drive the first two laps running clockwise around the course, then on lap three are redirected down an alternate path and do a lap around the course in reverse. Despite not being based on a real-life city, Piranha Plant Cove from Mario Kart Tour adopts their idea of layout combination for its racetrack in 8 Deluxe, incorporating the routes of Piranha Plant Cove 2, 1 and 3 (in that order) into one unified track where each lap takes place into one of them.

Gimmick Level / int_5586ce95	comment	Mario Party: Mario Party 2: Horror Land is unique among the other boards in the game (and those of the rest of the series excluding the sixth game) for having a day-and-night system, which will affect what things can be done in the board during the current turn (for example, the hidden Big Boo will only lend his stealing services when it's night). The transition between day and night occurs once every two turns, though certain board events can make it happen immediately. This board returns in Mario Party Superstars, retaining this gimmick. Bowser Land has some unique mechanics that make it stand out: It's the only board whose Event Spaces can trigger two different actions (the other boards in the game trigger only one), the Bank has a different owner (Koopa Kid) who gives money to anyone who passes by but will charge the debt to whoever lands exactly on the Bank space (the opposite happens in all the other boards, where the Bank's owner is a friendly Koopa). But most importantly, every five turns a Bowser-related event will happen, namely the Bowser Parade (which has mooks marching across the board and making character flee and gradually lose coins if they're on the parade's way); this idea isn't seen again the series until the seventh game, which adds a bigger variety of possible Bowser events for the same period of turns. Mario Party 6 is the first game in the series to feature boards with unique methods to obtain Stars. The first two boards (Towering Treetop and E. Gadd's Garage) retain the classic concept of getting to the Star to buy it and having the next one placed randomly in another part, but the next ones toy with it: Faire Square has the Stars always available in the central plaza, and it's possible to buy more than one (up to five) if the player has enough money to do so. However, while the price for each Star remains the same during day (30 coins), during night their price is chosen randomly with a dice (this is because Brighton sells the Stars during day and puts the same price, while Twila sells them during night and uses the dice to change the price). Snowflake Lake gives each player five Stars from the start, and there are no spots within to buy more. Instead, each player can use Chain Chomps to ride them across the board and steal a Star from any approached rival by stomping onto them. Castaway Bay uses a mildly updated version of a gimmick seen in Mario's Rainbow Castle from the original Mario Party. Sailing the waters surrounded by the board's islands are two boats: One piloted by Donkey Kong and the other by Bowser. If the player reaches the end of the last island when DK is around, he'll sell a Star for 20 Coins; if it's Bowser who is nearby, he'll give them a Ztar which reduces the number of Stars by one. Clockwork Castle has Donkey Kong move across the board like the other players do during day, as has Bowser replace him during night. If the gorilla reaches a player (or is reached by them), he can sell them a Star for 20 Coins; but if it's the case of the Koopa King whom a players comes across, he'll give them a Ztar. Mario Party 7: Grand Canal is the only board that involves the players chasing down a Star as is traditional. The other boards all have a different gimmick: Pagoda Peak is a linear board with the Star Space at the very end. Each player who reaches the top can buy a Star, but the price goes up 10 coins every time someone buys it. It starts at 10 coins and goes up to a maximum of 40 before returning to 10, but the stage has several gongs that the player can ring to change the price to any of the four values - if they can land on the ? Space to trigger one. Pyramid Park uses the same gimmick as Snowflake Lake, as each player will begin the game with 5 stars, and the board has no Star spaces. In order to get Stars, you have to pay Chain Chomps, who will let you ride them and steal Stars from any other players you pass. Windmillville features several windmills, each worth 1, 2, or 3 stars, that the players can invest in. The player who's put the most coins into a windmill owns it and is considered to have its Stars. Neon Peak features three treasure boxes guarded by Koopa Kids on the board instead of Star spaces, and you can pay 10 coins upon passing one to open it. One will contain the Star, one has coins, and the last one drops a Bob-omb on you, launching you back to the starting area of the board. You have no way of knowing which one contains what until you buy one, so it comes down to luck. Bowser's Enchanted Inferno, at first, looks like it brings back the traditional method of reaching the Star to buy it and then looking for the next one elsewhere, and for the most part that's true. However, there's a catch: Every five turns, wherever the current Star is will sink into the lava, taking not only the Star itself with it but also burning all players present there and sending them back to the board's start with their coin budget halved; the Star is then relocated in another region. This also means Bowser Time is entirely dedicated to this gimmick, so Bowser won't do anything else in this board. Mario Party 8: The game features boards with unique obtainment methods for Stars. The only board that uses the classic format seen in the older games is DK's Treetop Jungle: Goomba's Booty Boardwalk and Shy Guy's Perplex Express share the concept of having a linear path to the Star, whose location is always the same (much like Pagoda Peak). Whereas in the former the Star is granted by a Goomba pirate and for free (the Coins are usually invested on the dolphins who place a player closer to the goal), in the latter it's sold by the Shy Guy who is driving the train for 20 Coins. The other main difference is that Kamek sometimes shuffles the arrangement of the wagons in the latter board. King Boo's Haunting Hideaway is a randomly-generated mansion whose rooms and passageways are arranged in a specific order every time a character gets to King Boo to purchase a Star. It's also possible to get a Star from DK, but it's reliant on a difficult strategy (landing on a DK space and finding the gorilla before someone gets King Boo's Star or someone lands on a Bowser space). Koopa's Tycoon Town employs a more advanced version of the gimmick seen in the seventh game's Windmillville. There are several hotels across the city, and investing Coins in them will make the player its owner. The number of Stars that metaphorically indicate the hotel's tier is also literally added to the player's Star count; the more Coins a player invests in a hotel, the higher its tier will be and thus the more Stars it'll be granted to the player, though another character can invest more money on that hotel to steal ownership. In Bowser's Warped Orbit, each player begins with five Stars (or more if there's a handicap feature enabled), and the objective is to steal other characters' Stars by using Bowser or Bullet Candies that allow a player to rob anyone passed by. It's the same gimmick from both Snowflake Lake and Pyramid Park. Mario Party DS: This is done much less prominently than in the post-5 installments, but some boards still shake up the Star obtainment formula: Toadette's Music Room has sentient musical notes that sell the Stars for a different price each, and when one is bought the next is for sale by a different note in a different spot in the board (the order goes from the music that puts the lowest price to the one who puts the highest, eventually reseting); DK's Stone Statue has the Star always placed in the upper left corner, and a player can buy more than one if they have enough money to do so (like in Faire Square from Mario Party 6 minus the five-a-purchase limit); and Kamek's Library has three winged green pots which hide each a different content, only of them guarding the Star (like in Neon Heights from Mario Party 7). The other two boards (Wiggler's Garden and Bowser's Pinball Machine) opt to use the classic idea of "find the Star and pay 20 Coins to get it". Mario Party: Island Tour: Most boards share the central idea of reaching the goal line first, with a few variations in each case to keep the idea fresh. However, Star-Crossed Skyway stands out because reaching the end won't be enough: the objective for each player is to gather more Mini-Stars than the rest (much like in the boards of Mario Party 9). Another exception is Bowser's Peculiar Peak, where the objective is to be the last player to reach the goal line, since the ones reaching first will be punished by Bowser (this also requires losing the minigames to the fullest extent possible).

Gimmick Level / int_59151283	comment	Metal Gear is fairly consistent stealth gameplay with some quirks, but the VR Missions/Special Missions/Integral expansion in Metal Gear Solid pushes the engine to its limits so the player can do things possible by coding but virtually impossible to actually perform in the game - especially the Variety Mode, Puzzle Mode and NG Selection. One stage requires the player to blow up surveillance cameras by attaching C-4 to guards and detonating it when they pass under the cameras. Another requires the player to solve a Lights Out puzzle involving throwing grenades at distant columns to make them grow or shrink. Another stage has a single (robot) guard in it whose vision cone is super large, requiring the player to slip past by putting the box on, inching forward when he turns his back, and repeating. There's another where you have to punch guards into each other so they all fall over like a string of dominoes. There are also multiple murder mystery missions, a mission where you are the Ninja, a mission involving shooting down a UFO (although the gameplay itself is quite conventional) and one involving goading two kaiju into fighting each other to save Meryl.

The only board that uses the classic format seen in the older games is DK's Treetop Jungle: Goomba's Booty Boardwalk and Shy Guy's Perplex Express share the concept of having a linear path to the Star, whose location is always the same (much like Pagoda Peak). Whereas in the former the Star is granted by a Goomba pirate and for free (the Coins are usually invested on the dolphins who place a player closer to the goal), in the latter it's sold by the Shy Guy who is driving the train for 20 Coins. The other main difference is that Kamek sometimes shuffles the arrangement of the wagons in the latter board. King Boo's Haunting Hideaway is a randomly-generated mansion whose rooms and passageways are arranged in a specific order every time a character gets to King Boo to purchase a Star. It's also possible to get a Star from DK, but it's reliant on a difficult strategy (landing on a DK space and finding the gorilla before someone gets King Boo's Star or someone lands on a Bowser space). Koopa's Tycoon Town employs a more advanced version of the gimmick seen in the seventh game's Windmillville. There are several hotels across the city, and investing Coins in them will make the player its owner. The number of Stars that metaphorically indicate the hotel's tier is also literally added to the player's Star count; the more Coins a player invests in a hotel, the higher its tier will be and thus the more Stars it'll be granted to the player, though another character can invest more money on that hotel to steal ownership. In Bowser's Warped Orbit, each player begins with five Stars (or more if there's a handicap feature enabled), and the objective is to steal other characters' Stars by using Bowser or Bullet Candies that allow a player to rob anyone passed by. It's the same gimmick from both Snowflake Lake and Pyramid Park.

Gimmick Level / int_5bd0554b	comment	Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne has a bonus level inspired by the custom-made "Tower Defense" maps. Instead of building a base as normal, you have to line up special towers only available in that mission along a maze to shoot down attackers. 2 regular levels also took inspiration from custom maps to mix things up. And then there was the Orc campaign, which was an RPG. A rather simple one since it still used the same interface, but still pretty good. And that is just the (official) tip of the iceberg of uses of the game's engine and powerful editor, which people have used to create all sorts of games. One of them, Defense of the Ancients, has become a game of its own.

Gimmick Level / int_5d96b889	comment	Mario Kart: Mario Kart 64: "Toad Turnpike" features live traffic that racers must avoid, along with said traffic having several different configurations that are randomly chosen each time you load up the track. Yoshi Valley is split off into multiple different routes, and due to the Nintendo 64's limitations, keeps the placement of the racers hidden until the very end of the race. Mario Kart: Double Dash!!: Baby Park and Wario Colosseum avert the usual "three laps per course" convention by having a different amount of laps each; Baby Park is seven laps due to it being a small oval, while Wario Colosseum is only two laps long on account of it being so long. Some courses in the Mario Kart series utilize cannons, such as DK Mountain, Waluigi Pinball, Airship Fortress, DK Summit, Maple Treeway, and several Rainbow Road courses. Mario Kart 7: Wuhu Loop, Maka Wuhu, and Rainbow Road are all divided into three sections of one large course. Mario Kart 8 has numerous examples, both by virtue of bringing back tracks that were already unique in some way, and by revamping the gameplay of the Tour tracks remade for the Booster Course Pass in the Updated Re-release Deluxe: Mount Wario, N64 Rainbow Road and Big Blue are raced across in one lap or A-to-B session, similar to certain Mario Kart 7 tracks (including its Rainbow Road, which was also added to Deluxe as DLC). The F-Zero tracks (Mute City and Big Blue) are completely done in anti-gravity. There are no coins on the track; instead, you have to obtain coins by driving over recharge strips, though you can still obtain coins from item boxes and by knocking them out of other racers. Deluxe not only retains these tracks, but also also adds Sky-High Sundae as part of the DLC, which is also played entirely with anti-gravity. GCN Baby Park retains the gimmick of having 7 laps (like in Double Dash!!, and unlike in DS and Tour where it only has 5), due to the course being so short, and, like the F-Zero tracks being entirely within anti-gravity. Several city-related tracks from Mario Kart Tour have been brought back as part of the Booster Course Pass of Deluxe in an interesting way: rather than just bringing a single variant of the cities to Deluxe, all variants have been combined into a single track, allowing players to race through different paths per lap. In turn, whereas most of these tracks simply have the racers go through different sections per lap, others go even further and exploit the concept in unique ways, like Paris Promenade being played entirely backwards during the third lap, Singapore Speedway and Athens Dash being actually raced in two laps (for the former, the second lap employs a section-based approach like the A-to-B or single-lap courses, thus having the second half of that layout labeled as the "third" lap; for the latter, it's the first lap which does this), Berlin Byways using the first variant of its original Tour version (instead of the third or even second like most other city tracks) for the final lap, or Los Angeles Laps which consists of one very long lap divided in three segments like certain unusually long tracks also present in the game. N64 Kalimari Desert in Deluxe combines both it and Kalimari Desert 2 from Tour into one, with the first lap being the original route and the second and third laps being both sections of Kalimari Desert 2. DS Peach Gardens, brought back for Wave 3 of the Booster Course Pass, is reconfigured to be raced in similar fashion to Paris Promenade. You drive the first two laps running clockwise around the course, then on lap three are redirected down an alternate path and do a lap around the course in reverse. Despite not being based on a real-life city, Piranha Plant Cove from Mario Kart Tour adopts their idea of layout combination for its racetrack in 8 Deluxe, incorporating the routes of Piranha Plant Cove 2, 1 and 3 (in that order) into one unified track where each lap takes place into one of them.

Warp forces you to handle the shell's unusual shape: a spherized octahedron. LightSpeed makes you speed through relatively simple obstacles to the correct colored chamber in limited amounts of time. Revolution Runner allows you to control the motorized rotation of several rings to get the ball closer to the center. Rubik's Hybrid and Fusion make you shift the tracks to allow the ball to proceed through the course. Portal has three buttons you can push to shift certain parts of the course.

Example: Fly on the Wall Challenge requires the player to get X number of headshots while flipping sideways upside down through the air within Y number of minutes, while crowds of thugs storm from either direction of a narrow courtyard. The only way to achieve gold standard on this is to become proficient at sideways walking up a wall, leaping off of it and aiming. This is an enormously powerful offensive and defensive maneuver best learned before the heat of later missions is turned up (plus it's style amplified.)

The entirety of Super Mario LD, which (until the author vanished off the internet) was basically a long string of gimmick levels and bosses, including the somewhat infamous Gradius inspired stage shown here. The VIP series. All five (six?) of them. The Kouhai series (three Platform Hell gimmick hacks played by raocow). The Ore World series (basically a poor man's Brutal Mario). Super Mario :p:p:p, which has a weird puzzle game like level and a Final Fantasy inspired Iggy Koopa battle. The entirety of The Mario, which has level gimmicks like laser shooting Mecha Koopas and giant Thwomps. The entirety of SMW YEAHH. Many levels in the Touhou inspired Scarlet Devil Mario series. S Mario. Gimmick in this case means stuff like random wind that pushes you around, power ups that immediately kill you or... the one and only case of 'go left or spin jump and die on the spot while sliding around on ice and dodging homing missiles'. You can see the latter here as raocow nearly breaks down playing it. Just about all levels in the Brutal Mario inspired Mario End Game hack. Or to be honest, about 40% of all hacks on SMW Central and about 80% of all hacks on Japanese ROM hacking sites are nothing but these. Whether that be shoot em up levels, bullet hell inspired levels, Blackout Basement style levels or ones with such things as 'go right or spin jump and die on the spot' is dependent on the game in question.

As the name suggests, the level is stuffed with large amounts of barrels, and the first two areas feature you running through rows of barrels to safety as a monster emerges behind you, attacks and inadvertently sets off a chain reaction of exploding barrels. Doom 64: The 23rd level, "Unholy Temple", starts and progresses like a conventional level. However, once the player finds all three colored keys (red, blue, yellow) and reaches a special room showing a column with three distinctly-colored locks, a unique mechanic kicks in: In certain parts of the level, there are closed doors whose locks show all three standard colors, but trying to open them won't work even after all keys are gathered. Instead, each door of this kind has its lock showing the colors in a specific order (read from left to right), indicating the order in which the player has to trigger the colored locks in the column of the special room so that door can be opened. In turn, opening the doors grants access to switches that remove, one each, the bars that obstruct the exit. Thus, the player has to backtrack through the level to take note of the color sequences in the doors' locks, open said doors from the special room, and press the switches that open the path to the exit. This is the only level in the game where this mechanic is employed,

While the vehicle in question doesn't necessarily have to be a Warthog, some missions (such as the trendsetting last mission in Halo: Combat Evolved) have long driving sequences where the main obstacles are the terrain, not the enemy.

Combat Evolved has quite a few gimmick levels for its multiplayer mode. You have "Boarding Action" (Two open ships side-by-side, with a bottomless pit separating them and teleporters to connect the two halves), "Chiron TL-34" (A series of small rooms connected by teleporters), and "Longest" (Two long narrow hallways connecting each base, this one would be remade as "Elongation" in Halo 2). "Boarding Action" is a unique case because it was designed with the jetpack mechanic in mind; you can fly between the two sides of the map. When jetpacks were cut, the layout didn't change with it.

Super Mario Galaxy has several Gimmick Levels, the most recognizable ones being those involving the Wiimote's motion-sensing abilities to control different actions, like balancing Mario on top of a rolling ball, riding a manta ray around a course, or using a fan to blow a bubble around an electrified maze of doom. This makes the game better because you hardly ever do the same thing twice (though those types of levels do appear at least twice each: One where you can practice with them, and then the harder variations that appear later). Super Mario Galaxy 2: In addition to bringing back the rolling ball idea first seen in the previous game, Galaxy 2 also adds flying on a bird (Fluzzard); its levels revolve around performing a test aerial race in the first mission, and then an official race against one or more rivals in the second. Passing through certain rings will allow Mario or Luigi to grab a Comet Medal near the goal. New Super Mario Bros. Wii has levels where the Wiimote operates something the characters ride in, like a movable platform. Super Mario 3D World has the Captain Toad stages and the Mystery House challenges. In the former, you have to guide Captain Toad through a diorama-like stage as he collect stars; in the latter, you have to complete several successive minigames based on a particular topic (like an A-to-B Racing Minigame or a Multi-Mook Melee). Super Mario Maker, being a Game Maker, is naturally chock-full of them. Even the built-in levels have a few gimmicks that serve as potential ideas for the player to create unique, inventive levels. Super Mario Maker 2 has even more, thanks to Story Mode. Wario Land has quite a few of these in the series, with most of the levels in general introducing a new gimmick needed to proceed. Such as the board game and casino levels in Wario Land 4 and Shake It!, and also Launchpad Labyrinth in said Shake It! game.

Thus, it becomes a lot more beneficial to make everybody a mage. In Final Fantasy IV, the Magnetic Cave has the party forced to equipped non-metal equipment due to a curse effect where anyone who is using any metallic gear will be fully paralyzed and unable to attack. Final Fantasy V has the sunken Walse Tower. The dungeon is completely underwater, and Bartz can only hold his breath for 20 minutes. Fortunately, you can pick up a refill partway through. Final Fantasy VI has plenty: Multi-party battles. Different mechanics for them. In the first half of the game, if you die, you return to the beginning with one hit point for everyone, and the real goal is to keep the enemies from reaching Terra or Banon. In the second half, one party has to hit switches for the other party(s). The Cultists'/Fanatics' Tower, where you can only use magic. And many enemies have auto-reflect.

Another obstacle is a series of bridges with guards that knock you off if you touch them. Naturally, you don't take damage, and there are actually good items down there. Final Fantasy VIII has a few multi-party levels, including The Very Definitely Final Dungeon. The inverted floating castle in Final Fantasy IX, where your weapons do more damage the lower their attack power. You can find every character's second-tier weapon in the dungeon, but if you hung on to each character's starting weapon, you're set. Final Fantasy XII has the evil, evil Demon Wall battle. Not often do you get to run away from a boss. And unless you're power-leveled, it's the only way to win. Also, any optional Esper. Final Fantasy XV has the Pitioss Ruins. Unlike the other endgame dungeons it contains no monsters and is instead a multiple hours long platforming challenge amid Bizarrchitecture, like navigating 45Â° surfaces or running across the chest of a hundred foot tall statue in a cavern so large you can't see the walls, in a game not at all designed around jumping from platform to platform.

The Rank 3 boss attempts this for his fight against Travis by changing the rules of the game: Instead of a real-time, fast paced Hack and Slash fight, it is now a turn-based RPG where each action spends a turn for the current character. While it's theoretically possible to face the boss under these rules, his large amount of HP would drag the battle for very long. So Travis, being the Genre Savvy otaku he is, disables this nonsense by attacking the RPG menus and interface instead of the boss himself, since he wouldn't be under the RPG rules if they were deleted from the screen. Once he succeeds, the battle between the two switches back to the game's default genre.

Gimmick Level / int_b4967d43	comment	Sonic the Hedgehog: Many of the games have a level with bumpers and plungers (e.g. Casino Night Zone). Sonic Spinball excepted, of course: it featured pinball stages as its whole schtick. Wacky Workbench from Sonic CD. You'll probably spend less than half the level on solid ground. The last level of Sonic & Knuckles (when playing as Sonic) breaks from the standard platforming of the previous levels by having Sonic start off as the invincible Super/Hyper Sonic. This is necessary, as the whole level is spent in outer space; if Sonic doesn't keep collecting rings in order to stay invincible, he'll become regular Sonic again and immediately fall to his death. In Sonic Adventure, Sonic's version of Casinopolis has a Chaos Emerald inside of a large vault that's on a platform too high for Sonic to jump onto. To reach the Emerald you need to fill up the vault with rings so the floor is high enough to jump off of, and to get the rings you need to play pinball (with Sonic as the ball) instead platforming. All of the Sonic Unleashed stages in the 360 and PS3 version that comes directly after a main daytime stage requires heavy use of one of Sonic's skills. For instance, Windmill Isle's stage tested the player's ability to use rails, Savannah Citadel's tested the Sonic Drift, Rooftop Run's tested the Homing Attack, and so forth. These were always Nintendo Hard. This would return, toned down in difficulty, in Sonic Generations, and uses stage gimmicks rather than abilities. Sonic Lost World has at least one strange gimmick level per world, which is possibly a response to the Gameplay Roulette-based approach of other 3D Sonic games. There are Mine Cart Madness-esque levels where you have to dodge obstacles whilst continuously grinding rails, levels where you have to guide giant fruit towards blenders, a stage where Sonic becomes an awkwardly-controlling snowball that you have to carefully maneuver through the stage and a stealth-based level where you have to avoid being seen by a spotlight, among many others. Fans and critics debate on whether the gimmicks add gameplay variety, or if they make the whole game feel unfocused.

In Diablo (1997), there were rumours of a secret cow level that did not actually exist. So they made one for Diablo 2 to shut the fans up.note This joke made it to Starcraft, where typing "there is no cow level" on the in-game chat during a single player game will instantly complete the current mission. Diablo III: The game has Whimsyshire, an extension of a previous Take That! to complaints that the more colorful visuals in III would "ruin the atmosphere" of the game and series. Set dungeons are designed around class armors which modify how skills function and are meant to test a player's ability to exploit these changes.

However, once the player finds all three colored keys (red, blue, yellow) and reaches a special room showing a column with three distinctly-colored locks, a unique mechanic kicks in: In certain parts of the level, there are closed doors whose locks show all three standard colors, but trying to open them won't work even after all keys are gathered. Instead, each door of this kind has its lock showing the colors in a specific order (read from left to right), indicating the order in which the player has to trigger the colored locks in the column of the special room so that door can be opened. In turn, opening the doors grants access to switches that remove, one each, the bars that obstruct the exit. Thus, the player has to backtrack through the level to take note of the color sequences in the doors' locks, open said doors from the special room, and press the switches that open the path to the exit. This is the only level in the game where this mechanic is employed,

Gimmick Level / int_c9633211	comment	No More Heroes: The first game features the motorbike sequences in the last two standard stages (the ones respectively leading to the Rank 2 and Rank 1 fights). Travis has to defeat his enemies by running over them instead of slashing them with his beam katana. The Rank 1 scene also has an area where you have to exit from an illusory forest, killing more enemies in the process. No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle: The Rank 23 stage is a Stealth-Based Mission, though being spotted doesn't make you fail the level - you simply have to deal with enemies much earlier than planned. No More Heroes III: Parodied. The Rank 3 boss attempts this for his fight against Travis by changing the rules of the game: Instead of a real-time, fast paced Hack and Slash fight, it is now a turn-based RPG where each action spends a turn for the current character. While it's theoretically possible to face the boss under these rules, his large amount of HP would drag the battle for very long. So Travis, being the Genre Savvy otaku he is, disables this nonsense by attacking the RPG menus and interface instead of the boss himself, since he wouldn't be under the RPG rules if they were deleted from the screen. Once he succeeds, the battle between the two switches back to the game's default genre.

Gimmick Level / int_cb2d2a81	comment	Several city-related tracks from Mario Kart Tour have been brought back as part of the Booster Course Pass of Deluxe in an interesting way: rather than just bringing a single variant of the cities to Deluxe, all variants have been combined into a single track, allowing players to race through different paths per lap. In turn, whereas most of these tracks simply have the racers go through different sections per lap, others go even further and exploit the concept in unique ways, like Paris Promenade being played entirely backwards during the third lap, Singapore Speedway and Athens Dash being actually raced in two laps (for the former, the second lap employs a section-based approach like the A-to-B or single-lap courses, thus having the second half of that layout labeled as the "third" lap; for the latter, it's the first lap which does this), Berlin Byways using the first variant of its original Tour version (instead of the third or even second like most other city tracks) for the final lap, or Los Angeles Laps which consists of one very long lap divided in three segments like certain unusually long tracks also present in the game.

Gimmick Level / int_cdac637a	comment	Jet Force Gemini: Gem Quarry eschews the usual gameplay of shooting at enemies (there aren't any), as well as the focus on rescuing Tribals (there are only five, and they're all found near the landing site), in favor of a unique task based on empowering a special vehicle with green-colored Gems (not present anywhere else in the game) dropped by a friendly Tribal. And as the player does this, the transition between day and night accelerates unusually (no other level does this, in fact the time of day doesn't even change at all in them). The purpose of empowering the vehicle is to make it send a signal to a planetary satellite with the command to detect and destroy incoming meteors (sent by Mizar to destroy the planet). After the mission is completed, the player can talk to a nearby NPC to receive a valuable Plot Coupon.

Gimmick Level / int_d302abbf	comment	Hunting Jhen Mohran and Dah'ren Mohran in Monster Hunter 3 (Tri) and Monster Hunter 4 respectively, and their corresponding rereleases, is much different than hunting most large monsters. In almost every other case, the monster would spawn somewhere on a sprawling map and you chase them down. The Mohrans are instead fought in two phases on a single part of the map: the first is a Battleship Raid style, where you attack the leviathans with ballistas and cannons while preventing them from destroying the ship you ride, and occasionally leaping on top of them to deal damage or gather materials from their back. While most enemies have a roulette of attacks, the Mohrans' attacks are largely scripted in the first part. The second phase is an Advancing Boss of Doom where you're on solid ground and have to stall until time runs out or you manage to kill it, occasionally using the ship's defenses to prevent damage to the ship. Even the other Elder Dragons in the series whose battles involve Tower Defense-based sequences (like Lao Shan Lung in the first generation of games and Ceadeus from the same third generation as Jhen Mohran), as well as the crustacean Shen Gaoren in the second, are fought with closer gameplay to the usual formula.

The objective is to use the weaponry used in Kamura to protect the village from incoming threats in order to defeat the monsters that approach your vicinity and prevent them from breaking the gate that leads to the village. All of these monsters are guided by a powerful monster (usually an Apex monster), which has to be dealt with in the last part of the quest as well to succeed.

Gimmick Level / int_d35e5e1f	comment	There are several gimmick stages in Blender Bros, such as a Gravity Screw level and some stages that are Racing Minigames, but the biggest and most notable is the world of Shelltarl. Most worlds in the game consist of three regular levels and then a boss. Shelltarl is one massive level that has to be played and beaten all at once. It's also timed, and the boss assaults you in the middle of the action, meaning you have to fight him while the clock is ticking down.

Gimmick Level / int_d642b0d5	comment	Sonic Lost World has at least one strange gimmick level per world, which is possibly a response to the Gameplay Roulette-based approach of other 3D Sonic games. There are Mine Cart Madness-esque levels where you have to dodge obstacles whilst continuously grinding rails, levels where you have to guide giant fruit towards blenders, a stage where Sonic becomes an awkwardly-controlling snowball that you have to carefully maneuver through the stage and a stealth-based level where you have to avoid being seen by a spotlight, among many others. Fans and critics debate on whether the gimmicks add gameplay variety, or if they make the whole game feel unfocused.

In "Woodpuppets", you spend about half your time in the stage turned into one of the titular monsters. In "Killer Department Store", you get your prize money at the beginning, but can lose it to some of the traps in the level. "Killerman" is a pseudo-whodunnit that takes place behind the scenes of the park. "Toy Hunter" has you turn into Cork, the main character of the (fictional) Toy Hunter franchise, and follow his latest adventure by uncovering "story elements" dotted throughout the stage.

The other two boards (Wiggler's Garden and Bowser's Pinball Machine) opt to use the classic idea of "find the Star and pay 20 Coins to get it".
