Rise to the Challenge	comment	A video game level where you have to keep ascending to avoid a hazard that rises from below the screen. The hazard may be water (due to Super Drowning Skills), a rising Lava Pit (with Convection Shmonvection, naturally), toxic waste, or anything else that will injure or kill you if you fall in. May overlap with Auto Scrolling Levels, or a vertical form of Ratchet Scrolling. In these cases, the danger may simply be a rising Bottomless Pit. Compare Down the Drain and Outrun the Fireball. The inverse is Descending Ceiling. For the sideways variation, see Advancing Wall of Doom. If a corridor or tunnel is involved, you get an Indy Escape. See also Lift of Doom where the rising threat is solid rather than fluid. A form of Escape Sequence. Has nothing to do with The Loins Sleep Tonight.

Rise to the Challenge / int_11fd6993	comment	The Alden's Tower level in Playstation All Stars Battle Royale will do this across three levels of the tower before arriving at the top: anyone unable to ascend is transported to a fixed spot higher in the stage, stunned for several seconds (perfectly defenseless for a Super kill). The developers had the sense to include blinking arrows as a warning.

Rise to the Challenge / int_20e8e9bd	comment	Sonic 3 & Knuckles: Sandopolis Zone Act 2 has an interesting twist on this concept. There is a section where you must climb your way to the top quickly, lest you get crushed by rising sand (which acts as a solid surface for no explained reason). The twist is that the source of the sand is plugged up, until you bust it open yourself. You must do so, however, because it's impossible to reach the ledges above without the rising sand. Near the end of Knuckles' version of Launch Base Zone, the water level rises, and you have to rush to avoid drowning. One of the three bonus stages is a pinball-type arena with a glowing, upward-climbing double helix at the bottom that continuously rises upward. This is the only one of the three bonus stages that the player can actually "beat" by reaching the top of the stage before getting caught in the helix. In order to move up, the player has to fling off energy spheres, and the smaller bubbles release the gumball prizes, which rise up and away. The higher up you get, the better the prizes.

Rise to the Challenge / int_22e5872a	comment	Donkey Kong Country: Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest: "Slime Climb" is like this, except that since the DKC series doesn't feature Super Drowning Skills, the actual reason the player has to avoid the water is the Invincible Minor Minion Snapjaw lurking in it. Because Snapjaw could not be implemented on the Game Boy, touching the slime hurts you in Donkey Kong Land 2. In the same game, "Toxic Tower," which does indeed involve rising toxic waste. "Castle Crush" features a rising floor and several narrow passages that guaranteed that a slow Kong will be crushed. This level is also infamous for the Castle Crush glitch present in the original SNES version and the Wii U Virtual Console port capable of bricking the game if performed. In Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!: There's Ripsaw Rage, which has a saw. Cutting vertically up two standing trees at once. At a certain altitude, it continues moving back and forth but stops ascending. "Kong-Fused Cliffs", where the player must climb up ropes that have been lit on fire beneath them. The latter half of the very last level of Donkey Kong Country Returns before the final boss has Donkey Kong race up a series of platforms to avoid a rising floor of molten lava. And the hidden temple level of World 6 exploits this mechanism as well.

They have to control their character to climb the tower, which gradually earns new parts as the old ones sink, to avoid lava for as long as possible. while some of the incoming parts are climbable in all their areas, some have obstructions that are impassable, so the character has to be guided through the climbable parts. If the minigame is played solo, the minigame ends when the character is caught by lava, and the height climbed is shown (if the character climbs high enough, the'll be able to break the current record). If it's played between two or more people, then the last one standing wins.

(Or in one case, as soon as you grab an upgrade at the far end.) In lower Norfair, Samus will also have to deal with acid that rises from the rooms that neither of her suits will protect her from. There's also rising acid in part of the final Escape Sequence, but it's kind of redundant since you're already running to escape an exploding planet, and because it's at the end of the game, your suit's been upgraded enough that the lava doesn't restrict your movement, and you have so many spare energy tanks that the damage inflicted by the acid is negligible, so it's really only there to make you panic.

When used on side-scrolling stages, it disables scrolling left, making the experience more like the first Super Mario Bros. game (as well as allowing you to occasionally get into an Unwinnable situation). In vertical-scrolling stages however, it turns falling off the bottom of the screen at any time into an instant death, making those vertically-scrolling stages into Rise To The Challenge levels that move at your own pace.

Rise to the Challenge / int_591aa39f	comment	Metal Slug: Aeshi Nero (a giant cobra excavator mecha) from 2/X kept "swallowing" the pillar you're on forcing you to outclimb it via platforms, while you also had to dodge its various shots and shoot it until it dies. There's a Good Bad Bug that allows you to stay within its "mouth" without getting damaged and preventing it from advancing, but this only works in 2, not X. The Slug you get at the beginning is almost totally useless as well: not only can you not press jump and shoot at the same time or the slug explodes, but the speed is only fractionally faster than that of the boss, which means you have to constantly jump to avoid death. In the Hunt, a Shoot 'Em Up game created by some of the staff who later on started the Metal Slug series, also has one: a Living Statue that chases you up a sea ruin. Also, there's a level in the first game where you have to go up. The screen doesn't scroll automatically, but since the game doesn't allow you to backtrack, any piece of soil that was left behind gives way to Bottomless Pits.

Rise to the Challenge / int_61d4e874	comment	Conker's Bad Fur Day: The game offers an interesting take, taking place right after the defeat of the first major boss (Haybot) in the Barn Boys chapter: The basement of the farmhouse is a large cylinder that suddenly starts to fill up with water, which wouldn't be a problem if not for the loose wires that seem to be hanging out of the walls, which instantly electrify the water on contact. To advance, the player needs to make it to a safe spot and cut the wires to make the water safe to swim in again, then get to another safe spot before the water rises enough to touch another wire, and repeat the process. For extra difficulty, there is a wire right behind the first Context-Sensitive Button which many players have difficulty to spot in the first playthrough, so they may think they're safe with cutting down the wires ahead of them, but as they try to get across to the next platform... the water zaps them to death. All because of that tricky wire right behind you. At one point during the It's War chapter, you have to outrun toxic waste while hurdling small pools of the same substance.

Rise to the Challenge / int_63ac9abe	comment	The infamous Labyrinth Zone "boss" for the original game is nothing more than you chasing Robotnik up one of these, water rising behind you with no air bubbles to save you if you lag behind. And lag you will, as the way is also lined with retracting spikes and fireball-throwing gargoyles. The game does show some mercy, however, as once you reach the top, Robotnik runs away, leaving Sonic to hit the end-of-zone animal cage and head for Star Light Zone. You ARE able to defeat him if you're good, though. This "fight" was revisited in Sonic the Hedgehog 4, this time with a real boss at the end.

Rise to the Challenge / int_8258e260	comment	Super Mario Bros.: New Super Mario Bros.: A few levels, including a fortress level with rising lava. There's a code that enables "Challenge Mode". When used on side-scrolling stages, it disables scrolling left, making the experience more like the first Super Mario Bros. game (as well as allowing you to occasionally get into an Unwinnable situation). In vertical-scrolling stages however, it turns falling off the bottom of the screen at any time into an instant death, making those vertically-scrolling stages into Rise To The Challenge levels that move at your own pace. Super Mario Galaxy: There is a lava one. It's technically because of the ground sinking instead of the lava rising, but functionally it plays like any regular example; then, you have to redo it with only one HP. In the same game, there is another that is somewhere between this and Descending Ceiling. Mario is upside down to the player so it is hard to say whether the sand is the floor or the ceiling. Super Mario Maker 2: It is possible to make levels of this kind by making lava or poison rise constantly in a vertical sub-area and prevent it from lowering its level afterwards. For levels without the harmful element present, it is still possible to invoke this trope by simply making the screen scroll up. Mario Party Advance: The minigame Stair Scare has two dueling characters run upstairs after the tower they're in suffers an earthquake. The characters have to run by rapidly tapping A to avoid getting caught by the crumbling stairs and falling down. Whoever gets first into the hot-air balloon to escape wins. Mario Party DS: One of the mini-games is called "Crater Crawl". In it, Mario and his friends are inside a volcano, trying to climb to the top as the lava inside it rises. Pressing the A button repeatedly makes them climb, and they also have to watch out for pillars of lava that shoot up, which are indicated by bubbles. The longer at least two players survive, the faster the lava will bubble. Mario Party 9: After the castle is destroyed in Magma Mine, the lava level rises up two spaces every time someone rolls the Dice Block, so players must roll high enough to outrun it. Further complicating matters are spaces that make the lava rise even higher if players land on them. If the lava catches up with the team, the current Captain will lose half of their Mini-Stars. Mario Party: Island Tour: In the minigame Sinking Feeling, the player use AR Cards (or downloaded images of them in tablets or handheld phones) to summon a metallic tower that is sinking into a body of lava that is displayed on the 3DS. They have to control their character to climb the tower, which gradually earns new parts as the old ones sink, to avoid lava for as long as possible. while some of the incoming parts are climbable in all their areas, some have obstructions that are impassable, so the character has to be guided through the climbable parts. If the minigame is played solo, the minigame ends when the character is caught by lava, and the height climbed is shown (if the character climbs high enough, the'll be able to break the current record). If it's played between two or more people, then the last one standing wins. Mario Party 10: Bowser's Clawful Climb places Team Mario on a tower being chased by Bowser from underneath, and they must climb as fast as they can to avoid as much damage as possible. Bowser climbs the tower segments at a time, and any players who get caught will lose a whopping three hearts. Chaos Castle has a portion where Team Mario must scale a series of large walls. In Bowser Party, they have to do this while Bowser is right behind them, so they can't afford to waste time.

Rise to the Challenge / int_9ef055f4	comment	Four or five instances in Ratchet & Clank, depending on whether or not the first example counts as 2 instances: In Blackwater City in the first game and its remake, you have to outrun rising water in a tunnel. Ratchet can both swim and hold his breath, but not for long, and gets realistically slowed down when swimming or wading. The only chance to get out before drowning is to keep ahead of the water. Annoyingly, not so long after this passage, he gets an O2 Mask... The last of the Qwark vid-comics in Up Your Arsenal justifies this as you're outrunning rising acid. Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters has the version with some sickly green liquid, presumably acid or toxic waste. Ratchet & Clank: Into the Nexus features a couple of occasions on planet Silox where you must escape from rising water. Which is incredibly funny given that, as stated above, Ratchet can swim AND has an O2 mask (as the section out in space in the first level proves), meaning that rising water shouldn't even BE an issue except for the fact that Insomniac is refusing to add swimming back in. Made even funnier when Ratchet is saying "That was a close one" as if he's forgotten how to swim completely.

"Optional" in quotes because not only are two of the needed items for a sidequest located in this area, if you're going for the Area K Subtank you need to pass through this part twice (once to slow down the flow of lava in order to reach the area where the button to unlock the gate that leads to the Subtank is, and the second time to get back to said unlocked gate once all is said and done, though at least this time it's easier since as said the lava flow is slowed down).

Rise to the Challenge / int_b4967d43	comment	Sonic the Hedgehog: The infamous Labyrinth Zone "boss" for the original game is nothing more than you chasing Robotnik up one of these, water rising behind you with no air bubbles to save you if you lag behind. And lag you will, as the way is also lined with retracting spikes and fireball-throwing gargoyles. The game does show some mercy, however, as once you reach the top, Robotnik runs away, leaving Sonic to hit the end-of-zone animal cage and head for Star Light Zone. You ARE able to defeat him if you're good, though. This "fight" was revisited in Sonic the Hedgehog 4, this time with a real boss at the end. Sonic the Hedgehog 2: The game has a twist on this in Chemical Plant Zone. Mega Mack doesn't instantly kill Sonic, but Sonic can't breathe in it, so the further up you go, the worse it is when you fall, to the point where falling to places you could once survive is now your doom. Hill Top Zone, in addition to rising floors, also had rising lava. Sonic 3 & Knuckles: Sandopolis Zone Act 2 has an interesting twist on this concept. There is a section where you must climb your way to the top quickly, lest you get crushed by rising sand (which acts as a solid surface for no explained reason). The twist is that the source of the sand is plugged up, until you bust it open yourself. You must do so, however, because it's impossible to reach the ledges above without the rising sand. Near the end of Knuckles' version of Launch Base Zone, the water level rises, and you have to rush to avoid drowning. One of the three bonus stages is a pinball-type arena with a glowing, upward-climbing double helix at the bottom that continuously rises upward. This is the only one of the three bonus stages that the player can actually "beat" by reaching the top of the stage before getting caught in the helix. In order to move up, the player has to fling off energy spheres, and the smaller bubbles release the gumball prizes, which rise up and away. The higher up you get, the better the prizes. Sonic Heroes did this with "energy" in the Power Plant stage. Sonic Advance 3 has the boss for the Twinkle Snow Zone, which combines this with Platform Battle for extra frustration. Mercifully, the platforms don't fall until you jump off of them; just don't fall off (or get knocked off).

Rise to the Challenge / int_bc758ea9	comment	Tiny Toon Adventures games: In Buster's Hidden Treasure's aptly-named Lava Cave area, there is, naturally, a part where you have to outrun rising lava. The very end of the "Buster's Sky-Jinks" level in Buster Busts Loose. After Buster successfully retrieves the next episode's script from the Pinball Fortress, the fortress begins to collapse, which leaves him to run up the walls to escape. Of course, the bottom of the screen is fatal. Tiny Toon Adventures 2: Montana's Movie Madness has two of these examples; the first is in the Samurai Saga, wherein Buster has to avoid a rising and falling flow of One-Hit Kill water in the bath house, and the second is in the Monster Movie, wherein Buster has to climb to the top of the stage to avoid rising flows of the same kind of water twice.

In lower Norfair, Samus will also have to deal with acid that rises from the rooms that neither of her suits will protect her from. There's also rising acid in part of the final Escape Sequence, but it's kind of redundant since you're already running to escape an exploding planet, and because it's at the end of the game, your suit's been upgraded enough that the lava doesn't restrict your movement, and you have so many spare energy tanks that the damage inflicted by the acid is negligible, so it's really only there to make you panic.

In this case it's more like the other ones because it's auto-scrolling rather than only scrolling up as you climb (though climbing makes it go faster), but the frame of reference still determines where you die. Sometimes, just to confuse the player, the scrolling reverses, and you have to descend for your life. Super Smash Bros. Brawl has the rising Rumble Falls. There's an Event Match whose chosen difficulty level will determine how fast the stage will rise.
