An unusual way of saving time or storage space, bringing some originality into the standard Video Game Settings: Take two stock settings and combine them into one. Bonus points if the two are diametric opposites. Triple word score if the two are actually Lethal Lava Land and Slippy-Slidey Ice World; the pervasiveness of this combination probably stems from the fact that these are the two level themes that can be definitely called "opposites" and the fact that Color Contrast between the two makes the level more visually interesting. (It's also one of the few cases where such a thing is remotely plausible; see the Real Life section of the examples.) The simplest way is to divide the area in half. Half of it is one stage, the other is the second kind. This can also be done chronologically, where the stage is the first way in the first half of the game, but gets changed in the second. A really clever designer will combine them into a coherent whole (bonus points if the combination makes sense). In some cases, a game's entire setting may be focused on one trope, which may combine with the others by necessity. See also Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot. See Patchwork Map for when this occurs in the overworld. If done to a whole planet, you're likely dealing with a Tidally Locked Planet. |

Angband, Morgoth's abode in The Silmarillion, is basically Mordor meets Grim Up North. It combines the worst of both hells. You've got arctic surroundings, barren desert plains, rivers of lava, giant slag volcanoes, vast underground dungeons, the works. Plus proximity to terrifying-sounding locations like the Grinding Ice, the Land of the Shadow of Horror, the Gasping Dust, the Hill of the Slain, the Mountains of Horror, the Forest Under Night, and the Valley of Dreadful Death, all of which are also evil or horrible places. | |

In the Vytal tournament underway in RWBY Volume 3, the arena randomises two halves of the arena with two terrain modules, plus the unchanging neutral zone in the centre. During Team RWBY's clash with Team ABRN, the arena is the combination of Lethal Lava Land and Slippy-Slidey Ice World that is classic to this trope, but other variations have come up, such as a desert/ocean arena and a forest/plains arena. | |

Dilbert: One strip where the weather is getting to be particularly fierce involved blizzards and freezing rain, but also deadly lava flows. As well as tsunamis, precision-guided ball lightning, and radiation-enlarged swarms of killer bees. And the Pointy-Haired Boss still won't close the office! | |

In the Total Drama Pahkitew Island episode "Scarlett Fever", due to Scarlett tampering with the artificial island's weather controls it results in one side side of the island being set on fire, while the other half is frozen over. | |

In Homestuck: All the planets in the medium are described from two characteristics. Dave's planet, the Land of Heat and Clockwork, falls under this trope. Dream Bubbles are made up from memories, so change in landscape is rather normal. In part one of Openbound, this becomes visable in particular: the second room is mainly beach, but one of the corners of it is the Land of Brains and Fire. This can also be seen when Roxy sleepwalks. |

Dungeons & Dragons: The Elemental Chaos is a place where the laws of physics can be a bit screwy (you can have oceans made out of lightning), so places like those described in the trope are not unheard of. Furthermore, there are actual creatures that embody this trope, being lava-ice creatures. Mungoth is the third layer of Gehenna and like the first two, it's an endless volcanic slope. Despite the geographic similarities, its volcanic activity is milder and it's colder as a result. One consequence of this is a ubiquitous caustic snowfall that accumulates in less active areas. Even away from the lava flows, the ever-present heat from the ground melts the snow to form dangerous mudslides. |

Stampy's Lovely World: The Big Bad's main fortress is located in a cold biome surrounded by an icy ocean. The fire part is from the lava moat surrounding the fortress. The Dragon, Veeva Dash, complains about this. | |

Later, Traitor: When Frazie is being mentored by Phoebe to learn how to use Pyrokinesis, her mind is "Phoebe's Fire Mix Tape", a cool music club in a hot volcanic area. When Frazie accidentally burns the club down, Phoebe loses her groove and becomes despondent. When Frazie goes back into Phoebe's mind to fix her mistakes, she finds the area has turned into a new mindscape called "Phoebe's Frosty Funk", a desolate arctic wasteland. When Milla and Sasha offer to train Frazie in the art of Levitation and Psi-Blasting, they take her into a shared mindscape. The reason it is shared is because of their semi-permanent psychic connection. It's described in the story as a mix of Sasha and Milla's mindscapes from canon, which are both very different from each other in terms of aesthetic and structure. |

One Piece: The first New World island the Straw Hats visit, Punk Hazard, is half-fire, half-ice. On one side, you have a sea of boiling red water, dragons, and volcanoes. On the other half, a mountain of ice and snow storms, separated from the fire half only by a large lake. This formerly normal island was redecorated when Aokiji and Akainu fought there for ten days straight two years ago. Over the course of the arc, that lake in the center became poisonous. | |

Magic: The Gathering: On the plane of Kaldheim, the realm of Surtland is a land of freezing temperatures and volcanic activity, where geysers and volcanoes burst through glaciers and snowbanks before freezing midair and high, icy peaks rise above gorges filled with rivers of lava. The land's inhabitants are equally divided, being split between the reclusive frost giants who live alone on the high peaks and the tribes of barbaric fire giants of the fiery lowlands. | |

Ben 10: Ultimate Alien features a planet which is this. Due to the planet's rotation being in perfect sync with its orbit, one side always faces the sun while the other is always pointed away. The result is one side being a scorching, barren, wasteland while the other half is frozen solid. There is however a thin habitable zone within the two regions. | |

Critical Role: The frozen islands of Eiselcross have many lingering aftereffects from an ancient magical catastrophe, including a mile-wide lava river that bisects the island Foren, believed to be a link to the Elemental Plane of Fire. Natural snow and ice are unaffected by its heat, so it's possible to cross on foot after a heavy blizzard. | |

Bofuri: I Don't Want to Get Hurt, so I'll Max Out My Defense.: The 3rd floor of the 7th event tower starts in a lava cave, and tunnels of hardened lava lead to an ice cave where a "10,000 year ice" item could drop from enemies. It can be used to freeze parts of the lava cave for a short time, while normal ice skills melt instantly. The boss is a golem that can switch itself and the arena into lava and ice forms. If you beat the boss without using the "10,000 year ice", you are granted a lava skill "Great Eruption". | |

The Chronicles of Amber: The Keep of the Four Worlds: lava, an ocean, mountains, and a dusty plain with never-ending tornadoes, with the castle at the place where all four intersect. (The name is literal; if you manage to head out into one of the quadrants, you'll find they're each a complete world within its own plane of Shadow and the boundaries where they meet only exist when near and heading toward the Keep.) | |
