You've been ruthlessly blasting through enemies with a machine gun for the past several hours, but suddenly your weapons are confiscated, and you're now forced to maneuver your way through the rest of the level stealthily while remaining in the shadows. Or you're playing a platforming game and you're forced to enter a dirtbike race in order to acquire a Plot Coupon. Maybe you're playing a horror game where you need to hide to survive, and the protagonist suddenly hauls off and punches the monster in the face.
You've just encountered an Unexpected Gameplay Change.
Such changes can add welcome variety to gameplay, but sometimes these (usually brief) segments are poorly implemented and only serve to disrupt the otherwise genial flow of the game. They hurt somewhat less when they're presented as genuine mini-games that you can practice or skip at your own discretion, such as in a Wide-Open Sandbox, but heaven forbid if they're required for 100% Completion, or, worse, part of the main game. In this case they may become That One Level.
This can often be a form of Fake Difficulty, and is occasionally a cause of Disappointing Last Level.
Common forms include:

Assassination Sidequest
Action-Based Mission
Breaking Out
Gimmick Level (this one can overlap with the other forms)
Organized Crime Sidequest
Racing Minigame
Role-Reversal Boss
Sniping Mission
Stalking Mission
Stealth-Based Mission
Unexpected Shmup Level

If used too much, it becomes Gameplay Roulette.
Expository Gameplay Limitation is broadly related, and refers to instances where the gameplay is subtly altered and restricted to focus the player's attention on exposition.
For an Expected Gameplay Change, see Bonus Stage. When this happens to the plot of a game (or any other media) it's a Halfway Plot Switch, Genre Shift, or Out-of-Genre Experience. For In-Universe cases where the rules of a competition are changed mid-play, see Obvious Rule Patch and Sudden Contest Format Change.

inFAMOUS had the side missions where you had to follow a Mad Bomber around without being seen until he put down his package, at which point you retrieved it. And you couldn't kill him, you just had to sneak around and hope you stayed in sight, because if you lost him you had ten seconds to find him, so sometimes you had to jump from the rooftops and try to stay undercover. Sometimes it was a real pleasure finally getting to blow him up at the end.

Toy Story, for the most part a pretty standard 2D licensed platformer, had that one level "Really Inside The Claw Machine" which was played from a DOOM style first person perspective, and the final level was a race against time where you were controlling the remote controlled car with a bird's eye view.

PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale has this trope with many of the Level 3 Limit Breaks with the cast. The game turns into a First-Person Shooter with Radec, Sly Cooper, and Ratchet, for example. Some of the other Supers don't fall into specific categories, but also invoke this trope. Zeus turns the arena into his own personal whacking space while also making himself huge, Isaac turns the game into a pseudo Asteroids parody, Drake, Dante and Raiden alter the arena and/or enemies with the Sarcophagus of El Dorado, Devil Trigger, and boxes, respectively. It has quite bit of variety.

A couple of the Nancy Drew games throw in a chase scene at the conclusion, and a couple have rather tedious maze mini-games that are quite a departure from the series' usual brain-teaser style of Solve the Soup Cans. Several of the games also have third-person sequences, such as Nancy walking around a beach searching for treasure: quite the departure from the normal gameplay, which avoids showing her appearance at all costs.

The Sunrider franchise is all about turn-based space combat between starships and Humongous Mecha, but one mission in Sunrider 4: The Captain's Return repurposes the combat interface for a puzzle-solving dungeon crawl through an abandoned space station. The player's units can't use their weapons in this mission, as there isn't any combat, and must make their way to the exit of each floor while dealing with the fact that you can only have up to three doors open at a time.

Played straight with the Aquas submarine level in Star Fox 64, and the two tank levels. The difference is in the absent crosshair. It appears briefly when one does a Charged shot, but because all charged shots are auto targeting the enemies, it only purpose is to show which enemy is going down when you release the A Button. In other words, aiming is more difficult.

Young Souls: the penultimate level suddenly forces the player to use weapons that can hurt ghosts, which also render the player's armor useless and reduce your HP to 1. Before this point, dodging and parrying had always been available mechanics, but the characters were tanky enough that it was pretty forgiving; in this level, taking a single hit will kill you.

Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon has the Shrewd/Scornful Possessor boss battle in the Secret Mine. Up until now, the whole game has been a fairly slow paced survival horror/puzzle game with a certain style of ghost hunting mixed in. This boss, however, becomes a Rail Shooter as you race through a tunnel on a bomb-shooting sleigh to try to blast the boss as it escapes from you down the mine shaft. You use similar machines twice before in the game — once earlier in the level to shoot burning charcoal, the other back in the second level as an optional way to get money and a Gem — but it can still be jarring (especially since it requires more precision and you only have a limited amount of time before the sleigh overheats).

Devil May Cry:
The first battle with Mundus is a rail shooter akin to Afterburner; it turns out this would become the Creator Thumbprint of Hideki Kamiya, as later games he worked on such as Bayonetta and The Wonderful 101 would show. However, this hasn't been repeated in any of the Devil May Cry sequels.
The final section makes you control the biplane to escape the island, blasting obstacles along the way in a simplified rail shooter gameplay. Like the aforementioned example above, the sequels dropped any additional gimmicks for their final missions in favor of the Boss-Only Level trend.
In the underwater sequences, the game turns into a First-Person Shooter and limits you to one gun as a method of attack.

The fourth and final game also invokes this trope with it's Final Boss. The gameplay remains fairly standard for most of the game, a combination of duck-and-cover gunfights, driving sequences, stealth segments and Good Old Fisticuffs. And then in the climax, Nathan Drake takes on Rafe Adler in a sword fight. The game mechanics change dramatically for this sole battle, not just with the weapon of choice, but with two counter-melee buttons rather than just the one used in normal gameplay.

Sonic Unleashed:
The game introduces a werewolf-like transformation for Sonic, which is slower than Sonic and consists of a lot of bashing.
The day stages are this as well. Up to this point, the games had all used the Adventure formula, which began as somewhat the Classics in 3d, from a certain point of view: running and jumping, attacking enemies and landing on platforms, the only major changes being the homing attack, being faster paced, more story driven and less emphasis on rolling, Sonic's original gimmick. When Unleashed came around, this all changed and it became more speed orientated; the positive reception to this style of gameplay led to it being adopted as the standard for Colors onward.
And then there were the Tornado Defense and Gaia Colossus stages.

Greed's secret mission turns the game into a Crash Bandicoot-style platformer, with a fixed-camera third person perspective for the entire level and V1 given a similar Spin Attack.

The World Ends with You has Tin Pin/Marble Slash, which is a kind of mini game where you have to knock other people's pins off a platform using your own pin. Thankfully, you only have to play it once, against a very easy opponent, and can stack the odds in your favor six pins to two.
And then this trope gets pushed much further in the omake bonus game Another Day, which is all about Tin Pin Slammer and has a complete shift in tone with hilarious results. It's like Square-Enix wrote their own crack fan fic.

Battletoads begins as a Beat 'em Up and ends up as a Gameplay Roulette, with vehicle levels and different methods of screen scrolling. In Battletoads in Battlemaniacs, after defeating the final boss, there are only a few seconds to shoot down an escaping helicopter with a target sight, which results in a worse ending if missed.

Chapter 3 of Life Is Strange: True Colors sees the main characters participating in a LARP session. The final battle of this flips the gameplay into that of a turn-based fantasy RPG, thanks to Alex's empathic powers allowing her to see the scenario from the stylised perspective of ten-year-old Ethan, who is by that point fully invested in the game.

Mild example: in both Descent: Freespace and Freespace 2, an ambush early in the game led by some enemy flagship inevitably results in you being part of the mission to take it down - in a bomber. Command comes up with some excuse as to resources being stretched to justify assigning a fighter squadron to bombing work, and your squadron leader gives you a quickie on bombing on the briefing screen. While not at all a big deal to players who've done the campaign at least once (you get assigned to bomber squads later on), it's incredibly disconcerting to new players for not only do bombers handle much differently to fighters, bombing capital ships is radically different to dogfighting. There's no bombing tutorial for both games either, in a series that otherwise has great tutorials for everything else (even escorting ships from bombers has its own tutorial).

The rail shooter Sin and Punishment turns into a side-scroller in Stage 3-2.
The sequel was worse in this regard; other than some air close rage combat that was well intergrated, at the end of one of the stages it turned into a fighting game with horrible boundaries.

In Brave Fencer Musashi, instead of a traditional sword battle, one of the duels against the Quirky Mini Boss Squad required the player to play a version of Simon, with rhythm elements incorporated. It's even Lampshaded when Musashi gleefully rushes in to fight and she takes offense to the idea that he Would Hit a Girl before challenging him to a dance-off instead. There's also the brutally difficult Gondola segment in the mines.

Transformers: Fall of Cybertron is largely built around ranged combat, with each character having a signature special power and the ability to freely transform between robot and Cybertronian vehicle modes. When you finally get to play Grimlock you find he's built around melee combat, his signature power is to transform into his T-Rex mode, and that he can only do so after building a 'Rage' meter through dishing out and receiving enough damage.

When you confront the Chief of Police in Stubbs the Zombie, he tries to make good on his threat to dance on Stubbs' grave... by challenging him to a dance-off, which takes the form of a "Simon Says" Mini-Game.

Super Mario RPG has many minigames, which themselves have UGCs; one minigame has you sliding down a waterfall in one part and riding barrels down a river in the next, and another has you riding in a mine cart, alternating between Mode 7 sequences and Minecart Madness.

While a good 75% of CT Special Forces has the player battling enemy insurgents from a side-view, occasionally the game will drop an unexpected Sniping Mission (players know when this would happen, if they see a bullseye-shaped checkpoint) requiring the players to snipe all enemies before they can proceed. There are also entire levels which suddenly becomes a top-down shooter with the player commandeering a helicopter to battle insurgent aircrafts and anti-air defenses. The third game also have a couple of Escort Missions requiring the players to transport hostages out of enemy territory instead of simply battling insurgents.

In Enter the Gungeon, the third stage of the fight against the Resourceful Rat changes tack from the game's normal Bullet Hell shooter format to a Punch-Out!!-style boxing match. Considering that the preceding stage of the fight involved the Rat piloting a fairly explicit Metal Gear REX expy against you, this is a direct reference to the fist-fight that Solid and Liquid Snake held atop the machine. Of course, winning the third round is optional; your run still continues if the Rat knocks you out.

This also happens in Uncharted's sister series, The Last of Us:
You spend most of the first game playing as Joel, who's a grown man and hardened survivor. He's got the upper body strength and skill to fight people head on. When you play as fourteen year old Ellie in the winter chapter, her gameplay becomes a lot more based on stealth. Joel's segments have more straight-up gunfights with enemies in a concentrated area but Ellie is given an unbreakable knife and her encounters have the enemies spread out to stealth kill and/or sneak past. Since she lacks Joel's upper body strength, there are no melee weapons to be found. Enemies can also sneak up behind her and pick her up, which can't be done to Joel.
Ellie's stealth playing style carries over to the second game. She's able to sneak past entire encounters and her segments have plenty of hiding spots. She can also find lots of crafting elements to make things like smoke bombs, Molotov cocktails, and exploding traps instead of ammunition to encourage stealth over action. Once you play as the secondary player character Abby at about the 40% mark of the story, the gameplay becomes more similar to Joel's in the first game. She's more of a brawler than Ellie and almost strong as Joel, bringing the melee element back. Fighting stealthily as her is a lot harder than it is as Ellie since the game takes away most hiding spots. You're also more likely to find ammunition than crafting elements, encouraging a more guns blazing style.

In Super Spy Hunter, the fourth stage is an autoscrolling aerial highway where you freefall several times, and the fifth stage is a boat sequence for the first half, and a jet plane Shoot 'Em Up for the second half.

Occurs frequently in the Mega Man (Classic) series:
The Rush Jet shmup sequences, the Auto-Scrolling Level in Dr. Cossack's Castle, the waverider level in Mega Man 5, and the snowboarding sequences in Mega Man 8.
Particularly memorable in the Game Boy Mega Man V, where you begin by dodging indestructible asteroids, then taking on Mooks with the Breath Weapon Rush is now equipped with, then dodging lasers on the way to fight the Wily Star.
The first stage of the Final Boss of Rockman 4 Minus ∞ enters Bullet Hell territory which was clearly inspired by Touhou Project. The health and life bars even appear on the bottom of the screen. The second stage has you stripped of nearly everything but the Buster, and after that you have to fight all of the Robot Masters at the same time. Halfway through, Proto Man appears, giving you the Wily Buster. After beating the Robot Masters, Wily activates a Self-Destruct Mechanism and an Escape Sequence with the Hell Wheel occurs.

The first three games in the Uncharted series have you play through the majority of the game fighting human enemies using the standard cover-based tactics of shooting games. Then they throw non-human enemies at you, requiring significant changes in tactics.
The first game takes a turn into survival horror with the introduction of the zombie-like Descendants. These are more fragile than humans and can't attack at range, but they're incredibly fast and charge right at you without sticking to cover. Their claws can kill you in one or two hits, and it's impossible to hurt them in melee. You have to avoid sticking to cover and use "blindfire" (firing without aiming) to deal with them. The change in enemy is compounded by the different environments: dark, claustrophobic hallways that emphasize the survival horror elements. The mood that these segments evoke is similar to the "cut the power in the alien base" segments of the Metroid Prime Trilogy. The difference being that Samus is essentially wearing a tank and Nathan Drake goes down from a few slashes.
The second game introduces the Guardians, hulking yeti-like monsters that are actually transformed humans. They are deadly Lightning Bruisers, strong enough to kill you with a couple of melee attacks, tough enough to survive an entire magazine of bullets, and run faster than you and can also jump long distances. In your first few encounters with them they are actually impossible to kill. In later encounters, they alternate between using ranged weapons and charging at you to fight in melee, forcing you to also alternate between using cover and avoiding it.
The third game has the Djinn, who initially seem to be ordinary human enemies and use guns. After being killed, however, they revive as fiery monsters that can teleport and throw fireballs. They're also impossible to hurt in melee in this state, as they release a burst of fire if you approach them. They can revive again when killed in this state, forcing you to kill them three times to put them down permanently. The teleportation is particularly annoying, as it lets them dodge your attacks and move behind you (requiring you to move to new cover). You need to focus on one enemy at a time to avoid having to fight multiple Djinn at once. Subverted in that, not only are the Djinn only in one sequence of the game towards the end and are never seen again, but also that they're not really there in the first place; it's a side effect of Nathan Drake drinking the hallucinogen-laced water in Iram, so he's fighting enemies that aren't really there!
The fourth and final game also invokes this trope with it's Final Boss. The gameplay remains fairly standard for most of the game, a combination of duck-and-cover gunfights, driving sequences, stealth segments and Good Old Fisticuffs. And then in the climax, Nathan Drake takes on Rafe Adler in a sword fight. The game mechanics change dramatically for this sole battle, not just with the weapon of choice, but with two counter-melee buttons rather than just the one used in normal gameplay.

This is because the RS series is descended from Shadows of the Empire. SotE was mostly a 3rd/1st-person shooter on foot, but also featured a number of Unexpected Gameplay Change sequences. While the game as a whole was decent but unremarkable, one of the aforementioned sequences (The Battle of Hoth from Episode V) got enormous praise, so the developers decided to make a series out of it.

Furthermore, one of the events in this series is an Unexpected Gameplay Change in itself: amidst a bunch of athletic events is a math competition. Another event in that stage that stands out is the one where you have to catch balls in a pot while making sure none belonging to the other team gets in.

Gunstar Super Heroes did this as well. Most of the game is a beat-em-up with little variation, however a top-down shooting stage is suddenly put in on the 2nd Moon and on any difficulty higher than easy it essentially becomes a Luck-Based Mission and That One Level due to the ridiculous damage you take from projectiles. The original version on the Sega Genesis did this as well, placing a space shooter stage into the game towards the end which also carried into the sequel (albeit the space shooter was far easier).

Grand Theft Auto V takes this to the extreme with some of its optional stealth approaches. For example, Michael can infiltrate a skyscraper by posing as a new janitor; in order to maintain his cover and plant bombs, however, the player has to move between bomb points with a mop and bucket. Bearing in mind the series has been labelled a "Murder Simulator", the entire sequence requires controlling Michael as he cleans up numerous muddy footprints around the hallways, even to the point you have to occasionally rinse the mop to prevent dirt smears.

Darksiders:
Very early in the first game there is a on-rails shooter section when War rides a winged beast and uses it to fly towards the Twilight Cathedral and shooting down angels and demons along his way.
Similar to the sequel example mentioned below, the best thing to do during the angel-killing comeptition with U;thane is to grab a Redemption Cannon and let fly full-auto. Not exactly required but if you win the competition you get a freebie weapon enhancement so it's worth a try.

Giants: Citizen Kabuto did this four times. It changes from 3rd person shooter to tactical RTS to 3rd person magic-em-up to 3rd person rampage stomp-em-up. Seemingly at will. The game had 3 races, each with a different play style. Each race was firmly rooted in a single genre but the campaign cycled through the races to tell its story, leading to this trope. Multiplayer was an aversion due to the lack of race changing.

The Adventures of Batman and Robin, from animated series fame, had after several platforming levels where you beat up random thugs, suddenly you driving the Batmobile in a car chase with Two-Face.
Batman video games love to break up gameplay with Batmobile driving levels, dating back at least as far as Ocean Software's Batman: The Movie game for various computers.

Most chapters of Eternal Darkness are strictly affairs of "get from point A to B" with some short instances of backtracking to get around obstacles in earlier sections. Roberto Bianchi's chapter, "The Forbidden City", is all about examining specific aspects of some rooms to judge their structural integrity throughout the entire area and then backtracking all the way back to the beginning to report your findings to the soldiers who have taken you prisoner. This same mechanic gets taken back into Alex's hub area as the means of finding the next chapter page, which was previously hidden behind a painting.

Dead Space is somewhat notorious for its shifts from a survival horror to a Shoot 'Em Up kind of mission on two occasions. The first time you are defending the ship from incoming asteroids and later you're fighting a boss. Both are regarded as being annoyingly difficult even ignoring the high standards set by the achievements.
Dead Space 3 continues the trend by suddenly throwing in a rail-shooter segment completely out of nowhere, and you also have to fly a ship while blasting space debris at the same time!

Anachronox is a JRPG-style game with unskippable debris-dodging, rail-shooting, and turret-defense sequences. Also included are different minigames for character skills, from coin-flipping to democratic debate.

In Sucker for Love, for the most of First Date, the rituals player performs are a method of advancing the plot, must be done in order, are revealed in the book one by one, and you can take as much time as you like to cast them. But in the "date" with Nyanlatothep, if you defy her, you receive a book of counter-rituals, all of which are available from the start, and the correct rituals must be performed within time limit in reaction to various spooky happenings in the aparment, or the protagonist will be killed. The gameplay in that segment is not unlike a simplified Five Nights at Freddy's.

Baten Kaitos:
Baten Kaitos Origins has a brief stealth segment, as well as a couple of scenes where you have to collect evidence to solve a bombing.
The original game, Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean, has a Block Puzzle. A really diabolical Block Puzzle, thanks to the perspective not quite lining up with the basic directions, meaning half the time you'll be straining up against the block and it won't be moving. There's also the Trail of Souls, an Unexpected Shmup Level made to troll those who are going for 100% Completion, and the Ice Goddess and Wizard Shadow battles, both of which seem to think that regular fights in Eternal Wings aren't quite luck-based enough.

A slight case with the Treasure Island-chapter (see Nested Story above) in the german RPG Die Reise ins All: Aside from changing up the main character and setting, this part remains overall similiar to the main game, with a strong focus on puzzles, exploring, humor and a few mini games. Though, it lacks the typical Turn-Based Combat of the rest of the game.

So, so many Sierra games also have pointless gambling simulations shoehorned in. It worked kind of well in the vice-themed worlds of Leisure Suit Larry, but that was about it. This may be due to their dabbling in card game software with the Hoyle's Official Book of Games series in the late 80's.
They also shoehorned a river rafting minigame into Leisure Suit Larry 3 in the Passionate Patti section. Not only is it not optional, it's annoyingly difficult, with fairly clunky controls. They know it's annoying too, as the death popup window is titled "Insert Another Quarter" and the caption is "Don't you just hate arcade games?" You can save during it (you can save at any time), but if you aren't careful, you can save yourself into an unwinnable situation.

The Tokimeki Memorial series of games often feature RPG elements thrown in for some reason. If you go on a date with a girl there's a possibility of being attacked by thugs. Losing gives you a very bad reputation with your date. Winning ends the date but gives you a relationship bonus. Also during the school trip you'll be attacked by a mongoose, deer, or aliens but you're given a choice, run away alone (very very bad relationship hit), run away together (bad relationship hit) or fighting. Losing here will still give you a bonus to your relationship (because at least you tried) but winning will make the relationship much better. They can be especially tough fights if you've got no sports stats or after school club.
The second Tokimemi game makes it even worse if you end up having the same girlfriend as one of your two male friends making it IMPOSSIBLE TO WIN if you fail to beat them. Bonus points with Akane who you have to beat up her brother several times in order to win with her.

Final Fantasy VII had several minigames that required the player to complete in order to progress through the game. This included a vehicular combat section, segments of snowboarding and doing squats while climbing a cold mountain to keep Cloud's body temperature up, and the chocobo racing. It also had a minigame of giving CPR to Priscilla. Many of them, after their storyline appearances, could be replayed at the Gold Saucer.

While the majority of quests in World of Warcraft consist out of killing stuff, there are some quests that mix things up, such as flying on a fixed path to drop bombs or a few minigames connected to the various ingame holidays like juggling a torch.
Wrath of The Lich King added a new vehicle mechanic and a lot of opportunities to use it. Most of them include you mounting on something that amounts to a giant death machine and laying waste to hordes of enemies. Most of the rest have you take on something that's even stronger.
A game that changes from 2D movement to 3D, at a boss fight that depends on precise positioning with no way to tell how far away, up or down you were, but retaining the poor camera controls.
When people enter the Upper Spire of Icecrown Citadels they are confronted with a hallway where jets of cold burst from the walls, transforming the game briefly into a timing based obstacle course. Despite being so incredibly easy than any platformer would burst out laughing on being told they presented a challenge, these have been known to kill the same person multiple times, as they die, get brought back to life, then run right back into the icy jets. Part of this stems from the first of the jets being five feet in front of where you zone in, so those continuing to hold forward through the brief loading screen out of habit are quick to be instagibbed. These kinds of challenges are located in several dungeons and raids and are collectively known as "Frogger".
The more well-known version of Frogger is found in Naxxramas. After killing Patchwerk in the Abomination Quarter, to proceed through the raid, you need to avoid several rows of green slimes that move in one direction; very similar to the game "Frogger". This was known for killing more raid members than the actual boss fight preceding it. Similarly, several elevators (most notably, the one in Serpentshrine Caverns) are known as "the elevator boss", since the elevator is an open platform on a timer, and players often attempt to board the elevator just as it leaves...and the elevator either moves faster than gravity, or very close to gravity's acceleration, meaning that the players who weren't lucky enough to be on the elevator end up cratering far below (unless they have a slow fall ability).
Heroic Deadmines in Cataclysm; under the effect of the true final boss' mind-altering nightmare poison, you hallucinate various nightmares involving the other four bosses, challenge one and three include, in order, running down a narrow ramp (the sides are flooded with fire) while avoiding icicles that fall from the ceiling and will one-shot you, the third challenge can best be described as a Super Mario Bros. reference involving fire bars, but electricity instead of fire.
Peacebloom vs. Ghouls is essentially a tower defense game disguised as a quest chain, using a garden full of magical plants to defend a farm against marauding undead. Sound familiar? It should. The minigame is a deliberate tribute to PvZ with the ultimate prize being a vanity pet modeled after one of the flowers from the source.

Star Fox Adventures has it a bit backwards—while the Star Fox series is a shooter, Adventures was a Zelda-esque game, so when the game threw in "classic-style" shooting elements including the final boss, it felt a bit weird. One can attribute this to its origins as Dinosaur Planet, a game that had nothing to do with Star Fox.

Pokémon Sword and Shield has little minigames and extra challenges in its Gyms: the Grass Gym has you herding Wooloo, and the Water Gym has a puzzle involving switching on and off large water pipes, for instance. The Dark Gym is the only outlier, with players simply fighting their way through opposing trainers to reach the Gym Leader. The Dark Gym also stands out by its lack of a Power Spot, thus leaving Pokémon unable to Dynamax.

The Binding of Isaac: Most of the gameplay is about collecting permanent items to become stronger and killing enemies and bosses in the player's path. Repentance changes this with a special series of rooms in Mines/Ashpit II: The player temporarily loses their pickups, items, and everything "gained" in the run except their health, forcing them at base stats. After grabbing Knife Piece 2, a chase sequence starts up with an invincible enemy, where the player has to perform light puzzles that involve red bombs and buttons. Puzzle-solving had been a growing part of the game throughout its expansions, but never to this degree, and never to the extent of the segment locking the player out of what they had collected prior.

In the last third of Marathon 2: Durandal, you're unexpectedly sent from assaulting the enemy's strongholds to missions set in allied bases, populated with friendly characters ("Bobs"). The stated goal was to defend the bases from invading aliens and to sniff out the evil clone Bobs, which explode on approach. More hidden text from the original game's BOB-heavy level, The Rose: "BOB jam? Apply grenades liberally!" Saving BOBs in this series is really more of a Self-Imposed Challenge.

Sayonara Wild Hearts is largely a Endless Running Game set on motorcycles with periodic rhythm gameplay, though each level is dictated by the feel and beat of the song that accompanies it, and gameplay is prone to shift at unexpected times. Sometimes you're forced to dodge obstacles while flying in three dimensions, occasionally you're given a gun to shoot forward like a shmup, sometimes you're given a bow to target enemies across the screen like a Rail Shooter, and one extended sequence resembles a slow, fully top-down Bullet Hell game.

Knights of the Old Republic contained mandatory (though pathetically easy) arcade sequences where the player had to take down Sith fighters with a ball turret, as well as Random Encounters with Sith fighters when flying between planets. A more annoying mandatory sequence involving swoop bikes was preceded by a long, unskippable cutscene, forcing the player to repeat it over and over in case of defeat during the race. The sequel contains no random encounters, and the plot-driven arcade sequences are no longer mandatory.
Rather bizarrely, Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords had a brief sequence with you manning one of the Ebon Hawk's guns against a horde of Sith troopers. Even more strangely, while there was no reward for killing them with the turret, letting them board the ship and then beating them hand-to-hand was worth a healthy chunk of XP.

An example of gameplay change done right would be the arcade-style mashfests in Cyberflix's two games, Dust: A Tale of the Wired West and Titanic: Adventure Out of Time. They're a complete 180 from the point-and-click gameplay of these adventure games, but not only are they pretty easy, there's no penalty for failing (other than missing out on one or two insignificant pieces of dialogue). The game will proceed exactly as if you'd succeeded.

Resident Evil:
Claire's story in Resident Evil 2 (Remake) has one section where you take control of 12 year old Sherry who is imprisoned by Chief Irons at an orphanage and you have to escape. When Irons finds her, Sherry has to avoid being caught by him until he gets distracted so she can swipe his keys. If Sherry gets caught by Irons, he grabs her and traps her inside her room.
In Resident Evil 4, Del Lago (The Lake) boss battle occurs in a off-board motor boat in the middle of a lake, using harpoons. Additionally, for this installment's token escape sequence, you board a jet ski with Ashley and pilot your way through a relative direct but collapsing cave system (including jump ramps). Except for the levels where Ashley drives that slow truck, there are no other vehicular combat or vehicle-driving parts in the game.
When you battle Nosferatu and Alexia Ashford in Resident Evil – Code: Veronica, you have to use scoped weapons found nowhere else in the game. The Nosferatu battle is particularly hard because you have only six bullets for your rifle, and it takes 4 direct shots to kill the boss. If you run out and have to use another weapon, well, lots of luck.
Resident Evil 5 has the Airboat level. You're forced to battle aboard it at one point, which amounts to you very slowly driving in circles waiting for Sheva to finally land hits on the enemies, whining every step of the way about your poor driving regardless of how well you do.
Resident Evil 6 has a couple of Stealth Based Missions, and a notoriously difficult high speed chase through town, with no warning, foreshadowing, or chance to practice. What's worse, is you're forced to let your A.I. partner have a go at the wheel for half the race, regardless of which character you choose. Have fun, chumps!

Kid Icarus:
Kid Icarus (1986): This is a classic NES platform game with some Dungeon Crawling elements thanks to the fortress levels, but then it unexpectedly becomes a side-scrolling shoot-'em-up in the last level.
Kid Icarus: Uprising would end up adopting the shmup gameplay of the original game's final level as the standard gameplay type. Even then, the game has a few examples of this trope such as:
Chapter 18, which becomes a Kingdom Hearts style melee-focused Beat 'em Up due to you playing as Magnus. It also flips the usual Air Battle - > Ground Battle formula.
Chapter 19, which throws an unexpected High-Speed Battle at you for the boss fight, which annoyingly doesn't really explain the controls to you until it's probably too late.
The air portion of Chapter 20, which has you riding the Lightning Chariot uses the same shooting mechanics as normal, but plays like a top-down Bullet Hell game.
And Chapter 22, while previous stages have been roughly 50% Air, 50% Ground Battle, this stage is all Air until the boss.

In PAYDAY 2, the Car Shop and Goat Simulator Heists culminate in you having to drive a car to the drop-off, either because the car is merely loaned to you in order to get the loot (Goat Simulator), or the car IS the loot (Car Shop).

Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! has a level, Krack-Shot Kroc, where an offscreen villain is continuously trying to shoot you, with a big crosshair showing where his next shot will go. An Unexpected Gameplay Change comes in one of the bonus areas of this level, where you control the offscreen cannon and must kill all enemies in the bonus area. The boss of the same world would challenge you to a snowball fight similar to a group of minigames you may play just before entering his area.

Fallout: New Vegas is a pretty straightforward FPS/RPG. Then the Dead Money DLC turns it into a pretty straightforward Survival Horror. In turn, the final run to the vault in that DLC is a Death Course of stealth, dodging speakers and holograms, and some platform jumping.

LittleBigPlanet has this, more so in the sequel. LittleBigPlanet 1 featured unlockable side levels containing various mini-games, but they were completely optional. In LittleBigPlanet 2, about halfway through the main storyline (that is, ignoring the side levels), conventional platforming starts taking a backseat to top-down and side-scrolling shmups and other arcade genres.

Hellgate: London has one mission in which you control a group of fighters which turns the game into an RTS. This section is also incredibly much harder than the rest and is generally beaten by triggering a bug to avoid losing, then chain airstriking the boss for 20 minutes.
It also had a mission that essentially switched the game from third person Hack & Slash to Arcade Shooter - it consists of nothing but manning a heavy gun turret and keeping the firing button pressed for about ten consecutive minutes in order to shoot down an Exospector and the armies of critters it shits out in regular intervals.

Scream Fortress 2014 added a Hallowe'en map called Carnival of Carnage, where both teams end up in bumper cars and with a new objective once the map's main objective has been completed by one team or another. The bumper car objectives are collecting rubber ducks or avoiding falling platforms, or trying to play car football with them. Alternatively, a team can win any of these objectives by knocking the enemy team off the bumper car area. This new addition also quickly spawned a new mod that basically turns the game into Mario Kart!

Additionally, for this installment's token escape sequence, you board a jet ski with Ashley and pilot your way through a relative direct but collapsing cave system (including jump ramps). Except for the levels where Ashley drives that slow truck, there are no other vehicular combat or vehicle-driving parts in the game.

Splinter Cell: Blacklist, despite being a third person action-stealth game, requires players to beat two First-Person Shooter segments as Briggs (with a totally different pre-set inventory) for two parts of the train station mission. While the creators were decent enough to restrict the pacifist requirements to Sam's parts, as well as remove the "Totally Unseen" challenge from the map, playing a clunky assault section with only a handful of non-lethal gadgets (restricting "Ghost Points" and making perfect stealth even harder) makes it of very mixed popularity.

Most of the levels in Trauma Center are standard surgery fare, where you have to treat diseases and wounds. Other operations involve fictional "super-diseases", but that still is surgery. However, there's at least one operation in each game that throws something completely different your way.
In Under the Knife and its Updated Re-release Second Opinion, Derek must operate on a time bomb to disable it. The way to do so is completely different depending on the version, but it's definitely not standard surgery fare.
In level 5-7 of New Blood, called "Endgame", Markus, Valerie and Elena have to operate on a toy lock to escape their kidnappers' death trap. You must solve a puzzle by rotating panels on the lock in under two minutes, or else the heroes will drown.
Chapter 6-6 of Under the Knife 2 (called "Improvising") has Derek and Angie operate on an electronic lock to escape their kidnappers. After removing the lid of a lock, you must remove its plugs while they are unlit. If you fuck up and touch a lit plug, the alarm goes off, resulting in an instant Game Over.
The final level of the Endoscopy chapter in Trauma Team has Tomoe use her endoscope to navigate through rubble in search for Gabe.

The Nintendo DS version of Power Rangers: Super Legends is primarily a side-scrolling beat-em-up with 16-bit graphics, but has two moments where the gameplay completely changes. One is that several levels have sections where the game changes to the player controlling a Flyer in a shoot-em-up level depicted in a top-down perspective. The other is that many of the boss fights are followed by a section where the player is in a first-person perspective Megazord battle using 3-D graphics and has the player dodge missiles while damaging the opponent using the touchscreen.

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade also features fistfights and flying a biplane, though the game can be played so that neither has a significant impact on progression (although this requires nabbing certain key items from different parts of the game): Outside of an optional tutorial at the start of the game, the fistfights can occur at Castle Brunwald, the zeppelin, and the checkpoints on the way to Iskenderun. However, all of the encounters in the castle can be bypassed with the right dialogue choices and/or items (though the placement of the guards in the hallways can make it difficult to avoid every single one, and if you trigger too many fights all the guards will go on high alert and talking will no longer be an option), and the zeppelin section can be bypassed entirely by successfully starting the biplane in the airfield. Naturally, this leads into the flying minigame (which would have occurred upon completing the zeppelin section anyway) and if you ace it you can avoid the checkpoints completely, but even if you get shot down immediately you can still avoid fighting at the checkpoints whether by bribing your way past or by flashing the travel pass you got signed by Hitler at Berlin (assuming you have it).

In the game Fahrenheit, you play the role of Lucas Kane, who was possessed and forced to commit murder. You play through the game mostly by interacting with a context sensitive environment and moving analog sticks to on-screen prompts to determine the outcome of movie-like cut-scenes. In two chapters of the game, you are forced to look back into events in Lucas' past as a child, living in a military base, where he must stealthily sneak past guards and spotlights. The game engine simply wasn't built to handle a Stealth-Based Mission like this, as the camera is terribly restrictive, and the player is forced to react to obscure prompts to find the single proper path, instead. The game also featured a brief, completely plot-irrelevant target range sequence.

Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask: After four and a half games of straight puzzle gameplay, Chapter 6 of this game turns into a top-down dungeon crawl. There are still puzzles, but the format is wildly different, and even among the more normally formatted ones, there's a pair (Hershel vs. Mummies and Tilt to Traverse, respectively) that require reasonably fast reaction time or use the 3DS gyroscope to slide blocks around. They're the only puzzles in the series to do so aside from their bonus content sequels.

The Tomb Raider series has various driving sequences.
The Underwater Propulsion Vehicle sequences on the Down the Drain level Lud's Gate.
Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation opens with a sixteen years-old, defenseless Lara. It's a tutorial segment, so no big deal... until Tomb Raider Chronicles, where a lengthy segment with Young Lara is tossed in the middle of the game. Not an unwelcome variation for a game that had become so formulaic by then, but still unexpected and potentially troubling.
The motorcycle stages in Tomb Raider: Legend, one of which is an obvious homage to Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.

Pathfinder Adventure Path Kingmaker is a giant sandbox in which the players are granted a royal charter to tame a wild land full of beasts and monsters. Then, having beaten the first big boss in the game, their patrons donate a sizable fund and a second royal charter to settle that wilderness. The players suddenly have to build cities, buildings, and terrain improvements when just before they were dungeon-crawling adventurers. For the rest of the game, they alternate between both roles.
Pathfinder likes doing this:
"Edge of Anarchy," the first part of the Curse of the Crimson Throne Adventure Path, briefly moves from a grid into abstracted movement for a dramatic rooftop chase sequence.
"The Six Trials of Larozod," the second part of the Council of Thieves Adventure Path, centers aroud a section where the PCs serve as actors in a play, meaning the players are portraying their characters who are themselves portraying characters. It's not just twenty pages of reading lines, either: the play is intended in-universe to be potentially lethal to its performers, so each act includes a combat encounter or other dangerous challenge. The PCs must not only overcome these challenges and survive to the play's conclusion, but do so while putting on a good show. It's widely considered one of the most memorable adventures in all of Pathfinder.

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare has two of these. "All Ghillied Up" is a stealth-based Sniping Mission, and "Death from Above" puts you in the gunner's seat of an AC-130 gunship. There's much to be said, after being in missions where you're outgunned and outnumbered, to be in a mission where it's the enemy and their AKs versus you and your 105mm howitzer, 40mm rapid-fire cannon, and electric minigun. "All Ghillied Up" is a particularly masterful example of a well-done Unexpected Gameplay Change; the first hint that it's going to be mostly stealthy is when as the game fades into view of an empty field of grass, your companion is only revealed when a piece of the scenery gets up and creeps forward.

The Age of Empires II Expansion Pack The Forgotten began life as a Fan Sequel by a team of modders looking to push the game's scenario editor to its limits. As such, the campaign levels included in the expansion tend to be highly experimental in terms of its content: Dracula included many Role-Playing Game elements, El Dorado featured a mission objective that boiled down to playing out a Visual Novel-style murder mystery, and so on. While undoubtedly ambitious, these levels were broadly unpopular among players for their clunky implementation, and Definitive Edition reworks most of them so they play out in a far more conventional way.

Chicken Police is a leisurely point-and-click game, with the following exceptions:
A puzzle where you have to save the heroes from burning by undoing the ropes binding them. This is simulated by tracing the tangled, knotted rope. With a controller. Against the clock.
Two sections where you shoot up a car that is chasing you, taking cover every time the passenger with a machine gun lets rip. At least there's an Achievement for shooting out its headlights.

Red Faction:
At the very last moment turns into a memory and puzzle game, with you attempting to disarm a nuclear bomb up until that point you don't have to use your brain much.
Also, one level has a Descent style flight-combat sequence. This may be a holdover from the game originally being conceived as Descent 4.
There are two parts in the game where you have to sneak. Although you can actually skip one of them just by not taking a certain clothing item.
The second game, in addition to the rail shooter levels, has a couple levels where you pilot a Mini-Mecha, and another with a submarine, which also appeared in the first game.
The third game has a late game Escort Mission where you cover your new Marauder allies using artillery, complete with a top-down perspective. This occurs again in the game's final mission, though in that instance, it's a Hold the Line sequence.

Overwatch's bi-monthly event brawls often incorporate this: Uprising had "Uprising" and Halloween Horror had "Junkenstien's Revenge", both collaborative PvE that involved capturing/defending objectives against waves of omnics. Year of the Rooster introduced a Capture the Flag game mode, and Winter Wonderland had "Mei's Snowball Offensive", which involved playing as the eponymous scientist and ... loading snowballs in your Endothermic Blaster and hurling them at each other. Most bizarre was "Lucio Ball", the Summer Games event's brawl which can best be described as "Rocket League with Lucios instead of cars".

In Gitaroo Man, one stage takes away U-1's Gitaroo for roughly the first half of the level. Instead of the normal gameplay loop, you have to start by dodging. If that wasn't bad enough, you start at low health because you didn't get the chance to charge beforehand! You never expect to play any stage without the Gitaroo, so this comes off as a surprise to the player.

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Heritage for the Future has this in the form of N'Doul, a villain with the power to control water. When playing as one of the good guys, the game shifts from a fighting game into a side-scroller where you have to avoid various water hazards. It's difficult at best, though at the end of it you only have to punch N'Doul once to win, since he's blind and can't fight back. The PlayStation port of the game has a "Super Story Mode" with an event for every antagonist the party faced in the original manga. A few are like N'Doul and incorporate part of the "fighting genre" controls into an action sequence, but there are also events that are entirely different genres. Some are used several times, like breaking up narrative sequences with quick time events. Other genres are only used once, like the Lovers stage being a shoot-em-up.

The Evoland series is built around this trope. The first game is a stroll through gaming history, switching between several RPG sub-genres and graphical styles as the game progresses. The sequel is less about history and more about cramming in as many different genres as possible. The base game is an Action-Adventure with RPG Elements, but it has sequences of Stealth-Based Mission, Shoot 'Em Up (both top-down and side-scrolling), Beat 'em Up, Platform Game, Turn-Based Strategy, Endless Running Game, Fighting Game, Rhythm Game, Match-Three Game, and of course a Card Battle Game.

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas featured a couple of stealth segments in the main story, and more in the form of sidequests.
Many of the missions were horribly designed, nearly impossible to control flight simulators. What truly makes this awful is that while flying itself was very straightforward and easy, the mandatory missions forced the player to use the poorest plane available. Imagine if the player had to do the street racing segments with a street sweeper, the slowest motor vehicle in the game.
RC Plane, Query Missions, Caesar's Races, Pilot School, rhythm sequences
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City had a boat mission with horrible controls. "It's time for the Lance Vance Dance", for example. Vice City Stories has the Boomshine Blowout mission, where you have to remove crates from a maze of a burning warehouse with a forklift.
Several of the GTA games from Vice City onward have 3rd or 1st person rail-shooter segments.

Beyond Good & Evil features, in addition to the primary puzzle-solving and stealth-based gameplay, several tracks' worth of hovercraft racing. (Luckily, you only have to enter one race to beat the game, and you don't even have to win it, just find the hidden passageway on the racetrack.) And the first and last dungeons are action and puzzle-oriented, while the second and third (but moreso the third) are stealth-oriented. Also, the fight against the penultimate boss is a shoot-em-up.

Halo: Reach turns into a Freespace / Wing Commander-style space sim for the middle chapter of "Long Night of Solace". Then there's the Future Copter Gunship Rescue mission in "New Alexandria".
Halo 4 has several gunship segments in "Shutdown", and the beginning of "Midnight" is a Trench Run sequence where you're piloting a Space Fighter.

Banjo-Kazooie:
The final level of the first game is not a platform stage like the others, but a TV-style quiz show.
Banjo-Tooie features several "Breegull Blaster" segments, where the game's usual platforming action strays and the game becomes a first-person shooter with Kazooie as the gun. Not only do you fight a boss this way, but all of the maps from these modes are included in the multiplayer mode as "shootouts." Both the maps and the control scheme replicate those from Rare's FPS Goldeneye.
Rare struck it backwards again with Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts, which strayed from the series' typical platforming to be a user-generated vehicle game with some platforming in the Hub Level.

Apart from the silly mission objectives and deliberately unsubtle Continuity Porn the gameplay is the same slow-paced dark stealth as the core game, until you complete the game after recreating all of the SCENEs - upon which the game suddenly shifts into a quiz game about the original Metal Gear Solid with multiple choice answers, Liquid Snake and Ocelot hosting and a whooping Studio Audience.

In Mass Effect 2 when you suddenly have to play as Joker, your pilot with brittle bones disease who can't fight or even run. The level is practically a walk-in cutscene as all you can do is walk slowly along the one safe path while the rest of the crew gets abducted around you. Straying from the safe path will get you instantly killed by enemies that you would normally squash like a bug. It has a very survival horror feel to it.
"Lair of the Shadow Broker" includes an aircar chase through the skies of Ilium that bears a striking resemblance to that sequence in Attack of the Clones.

The BioShock series:
BioShock had a hacking minigame that strongly resembled Pipe Dream. This is in fact a remnant of when a splicer was supposedly to be running the vending machines, so you shoot him some extra EVE in exchange for discounts and more stock.
BioShock 2 had a different hacking minigame; instead of "not-Pipe Dream", you have to press the green (or blue for bonuses) portions in real time to hack machines. Delta and Sigma can also use darts that automatically hack the machine in a pinch i.e. surrounded by Splicers as your Little Sister is harvesting.
BioShock Infinite's last level has alternatively been described as "a tower defense level" or the only true escort mission in the game. You have to defend energy core of the Hand of the Prophet from waves and waves of the Vox Populi to get to your destination.
The second episode of the DLC "Burial at Sea" turned into a stealth game as Elizabeth, physically weaker than Booker, not good with a gun, and having lost her Reality Warper powers gained at the end of the main campaign as a result of having already been killed in Rapture Prime, is forced to wander the halls of Fontaine's Department Store to find a way out of Rapture.

In The Adventure of Little Ralph, an obscure Japanese platformer for the original PlayStation, the hero, Ralph, was originally a man, but the main villain turned him into a boy. Ralph spends almost the entire game like this, but just prior to the game's midboss fight (halfway through the stages) Ralph randomly turns into a man again. Then, he fights the villain in a traditional fighting-game style (complete with health bars) until the villain is defeated. Then Ralph randomly turns back into a boy again. However, past the second time this happens, it is no longer unexpected, as all of the boss battles after the midboss are played as in a fighting game.

Although these are not really difficult, they can be a stumbling block or severe irritation if you're not good at more action-y sequences. Especially since ammo isn't unlimited and for best results in some of the shoot-outs you would have had to do a bit of a Pixel Hunt for some extra ammo.

The Oregon Trail was largely a text-and-pictures wagon trail simulator, but included a hunting scene in which the player had to go out and shoot dinner in a manner reminiscent of the arcade shooter games of that era. The rafting down the Columbia River was necessary if you didn't have enough money for the Barlow Toll Road and made more difficult by the fact that the only practice you got came only after the requisite hour of play to get to the end.

Quantic Dream's previous game, Omikron: The Nomad Soul, also had a significant Genre Shift towards first person shooting action, and more worrisome, towards beat'em up. None of the segments were particularly good, although some sequences were optional. Woe be to you if you reach the dramatically linear third act of the game without as many medikits as you can buy, however. No going back, and no purchasing more.

Mega Man X: Command Mission is a game-long example - every other Mega Man X game is a platformer, but this is an eastern RPG that plays much more similarly to Capcom's Breath of Fire series. Unlike other examples, it's not a Genre Shift - the plot of the game fits in thematically with other entries to the MMX series.

The Fallout games:
Fallout 2: The level 2 storage area of the Enclave oil rig is a maze with a puzzle with an electrified floor.
Fallout 3's Operation Anchorage expansion pack, set in a VR simulation of the liberation of Alaska from the Chinese, is a squad-based military action shooter.
Fallout: New Vegas is a pretty straightforward FPS/RPG. Then the Dead Money DLC turns it into a pretty straightforward Survival Horror. In turn, the final run to the vault in that DLC is a Death Course of stealth, dodging speakers and holograms, and some platform jumping.
In Fallout 4: Far Harbor, retrieving DIMA's memories involves a 3D Hacking Minigame reminiscent of Minecraft, utilizing the Workshop interface to direct a decoder beam with relay blocks to deactivate a series of firewalls, build a path of computer code blocks to for "data bugs" to travel along, and place turrets to defend the bugs from the computer's countermeasures.

Modern platforming games such as Sly Cooper and Ratchet & Clank often have you enter races in order to gain items or otherwise progress in the game.
The Sly Cooper games have also thrown in vehicular combat, Robotron 2084-esque shooting segments, and rhythm-based sequences as well. Some fans of the stealth-focused first game have complained that this wrecks the point of the series.
Most will agree the rhythm battle with Mz. Ruby in Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus is among the best boss battles in the series.

Final Fantasy XIII-2 had Academia AF 500. Platforming became the main aspect of advancing in that level because there was no ground. In order to proceed, the player had to jump to the platforms suspended in mid-air and time things right, as several of them rotated. invoked Word of God has confirmed that this was done intentionally, as they wanted the game's jump ability to get its fair share of use.

Super Mario Bros.:
Super Mario Galaxy loves to shift from 3D gameplay to 2D gameplay, but the opening level of Super Mario Galaxy 2 takes the cake — it starts on a strict 2D plane, then becomes 2½D (as in that Mario can roam freely around the ground, yet the game is still in a sidescrolling state), and then fully 3D by the time Mario reaches the castle.
Super Mario Land, while mostly a standard Mario game, has side-scrolling shooter levels for 2-3 and 4-3, including the final boss.
The Final Boss of Super Mario Bros. Wonder adds rhythm elements to the game, requiring you to time your hits against him.

The final area of The Pedestrian (2020) takes the third-person puzzle platformer gameplay and adds in first-person elements. The situation is explained as the player character you were following for most of the game, an icon of a human being, having helped their designer assemble a reality-warping device.

Final Fantasy IX had its own cardgame, though it included a card game tournament section where it had to be played and won at least once to proceed. If the player didn't win all their matches, they'd lose out on a nifty item, although there are other ways to obtain it. There was also Chocobo Hot And Cold, where the player used a chocobo to dig around in designated areas under a short time limit to get items and Chocographs which could be used to find specific spots to dig in on the actual world map to find even better items.

In Final Fantasy XI, Parradamo Tor is a giant monument to this trope. If you want to complete the Chains of Promathia mission series or have a fight in Boneyard Gully, you're forced to climb it, an activity that more than anything resembles a cross between maze-crawling and tightrope-walking.

Sonic Adventure added a number of different genres (one for each character) to the series that had been fast paced platformers. For example: Tails' stages involve racing against Sonic or Eggman, Knuckles had to find emerald shards in non-linear stages, Amy was more slow-paced platforming with the addition of an implacable robot, E-102 Gamma was a mix of platforming and Panzer Dragoon where it had to shoot enemies to increase the stage's time limit, and Big's stages were Fishing Minigames. The Kart stages in both Sonic Adventure and Sonic Adventure 2 are even more egregious.

Donkey Kong:
DK: King of Swing had a level in the last world that had no pegs at all, consists of only one area, and revolves flying around a rocket barrel. The final battle against King K. Rool is really just two Jungle Jam events — a race and a battle — complete with the "ready, go!" beginning.
Donkey Kong 64 has two different arcade machines: one for the original Donkey Kong and one for Rare's Jetpac. They seem at first to be amusing distractions, until you get to the final door in the final level and find that it's embedded with Nintendo and Rare icons; you have to beat the original Donkey Kong (the easy mode for the Golden Banana and the hard mode for the Nintendo icon) and score enough points in Jetpac just to reach the final boss. For many uncoordinated children who hadn't grown up with those games, this is a bit of a brick wall.
Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! has a level, Krack-Shot Kroc, where an offscreen villain is continuously trying to shoot you, with a big crosshair showing where his next shot will go. An Unexpected Gameplay Change comes in one of the bonus areas of this level, where you control the offscreen cannon and must kill all enemies in the bonus area. The boss of the same world would challenge you to a snowball fight similar to a group of minigames you may play just before entering his area.

Starcraft II has a few "boss fights" which, while still fought with the same units, suddenly feel more like a World of Warcraft boss. The encounters become "locked" and the bosses start leaving attack target marks on the ground that you have to move your forces out of, and some periodically leave the battle area to do a special attack or to let you deal with adds briefly.

A Hat in Time stays remarkably consistent in its gameplay, never adding gimmicky mechanics that break with the standard it sets, but it does flirt with different genres, and features a few platforming-based stealth missions. Then there's the fourth level of the third chapter, which stands out in a cute platformer for adopting an entirely serious stealth-horror style of gameplay as you try to solve puzzles for keys while evading the terrifying Queen Vanessa in her manor.

Adventure game Future Wars changes, right at the end, to a lengthy shooting sequence and an even lengthier run-through-the-maze sequence.

Quite painful in Xenogears when you enter into a gear combat tournament. This brings in a rather simplistic Street Fighter style combat system, despite the fact that you're not actually doing anything different than when you are usually fighting in your gears (which is standard RPG style).
For that matter the on foot combat and Gear combat use somewhat different mechanics and after the first few hours the game is mostly exclusively Gear combat. However there is still the occasional dungeon where you have to go about on foot, notably the Disc 1 finale which is about a 4 hour segment where the characters are entirely without their Gears the entire way.

The third game has the Djinn, who initially seem to be ordinary human enemies and use guns. After being killed, however, they revive as fiery monsters that can teleport and throw fireballs. They're also impossible to hurt in melee in this state, as they release a burst of fire if you approach them. They can revive again when killed in this state, forcing you to kill them three times to put them down permanently. The teleportation is particularly annoying, as it lets them dodge your attacks and move behind you (requiring you to move to new cover). You need to focus on one enemy at a time to avoid having to fight multiple Djinn at once. Subverted in that, not only are the Djinn only in one sequence of the game towards the end and are never seen again, but also that they're not really there in the first place; it's a side effect of Nathan Drake drinking the hallucinogen-laced water in Iram, so he's fighting enemies that aren't really there!

The player will control a small (1-4) number of elite commando units and have to use a combination of tactics, stealth, and scripted events to outmaneuver a militarily superior foe. The original Red Alert was particularly fond of these, often setting them inside missile silos or bombed-out towns in central Europe.

Chapter 2 of Deltarune features a sudden Punch-Out!!-style boxing minigame when Queen challenges Kris to beat her at an arcade game. It comes back in a more elaborate form for the Final Boss fight. The same chapter also features the one-off return of Undertale's shoot-em-up "yellow soul" mechanic during the Spamton NEO fight.

Subverted in Disgaea: A group of Prinnies, knowing they can't defeat Laharl in combat, challenge him to a baseball game, complete with diamond and Gratuitous English voice shouting "Play ball!" Laharl turns to Etna: "Kill 'em." Cue one of the most ridiculously fun fights in the game (throw a Prinny and it explodes, and all the enemies are Prinnies).
Disgaea 2 pulls the same trick during the Inevitable Tournament, with bowling this time. The battle is intentionally set up so that you can win the whole thing in one turn. And the prinny that's set up to be the 'ball' is named '10-pounder'.

The roguelike Caves of Qud has an exceedingly frustrating one early in. While the game is normally an open world survival RPG, it has some rather frustrating elements which come into play in the fourth quest. Upon arriving in the factory you were sent to, you jump down onto a conveyer belt with enough Benevolent Architecture to make Half-Life proud, the walls are mostly steam vents which shoot streams of flame that will instantly kill most characters of the appropriate level to survive in the surrounding jungle, every other turn, there are a few eel infested pools of acid that you can use to put yourself out on the way down, and at the bottom, there is a deceivingly hard Boss Battle with a partially randomly generated boss whose name will somehow include the word "Cloaca". If it is beaten with a melee weapon, which it most likely will due to the penetration scores of the highest level long gun/bow being just barely too low to make at least 25% of its shots on the target, you will contract a disease which makes simple things such as eating and drinking cause you to bleed profusely, until your tongue falls out. During your time infected with the disease, and in the aftermath of being tongueless you will be unable to speak, and trading will be nigh impossible. If you have regeneration, your tongue will grow back, and immediately start to rot and bleed again. If you have hemophilia, you will die trying to eat without at a minimum, 5 bandages to stop the bleeding. If you have mutations both, the game is Unwinnable if you cannot make the cure, which it is possible for it to be impossible to make, by requiring that you make a mixture that requires more parts of one ingredient than is possible to mix in game! Suddenly, it has become a survival game where there are no options to survive.

The Devil May Cry series:
Devil May Cry:
The first battle with Mundus is a rail shooter akin to Afterburner; it turns out this would become the Creator Thumbprint of Hideki Kamiya, as later games he worked on such as Bayonetta and The Wonderful 101 would show. However, this hasn't been repeated in any of the Devil May Cry sequels.
The final section makes you control the biplane to escape the island, blasting obstacles along the way in a simplified rail shooter gameplay. Like the aforementioned example above, the sequels dropped any additional gimmicks for their final missions in favor of the Boss-Only Level trend.
In the underwater sequences, the game turns into a First-Person Shooter and limits you to one gun as a method of attack.
Devil May Cry 2: Just like the first game, there are underwater sequences here, and both your speed and your melee capabilities are severely limited (even with the Aqua Heart equipped). Oh, one boss is also fought underwater. These are only available in Lucia's campaign.
Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening: Mission 17 has a jumping puzzle that requires you to get on top of cubes that move around and rotate, a Platform Hell segment not seen anywhere else in the game, made more difficult by the cubes' small size in relation to the playable character's model.
Devil May Cry 4: There are two missions that force you to play a "dice game" where you must move your playable character's statue along blocks in the style of Snakes and Ladders. Dante just says fuck that and cuts the die in half rather than bother doing it.

When you battle Nosferatu and Alexia Ashford in Resident Evil – Code: Veronica, you have to use scoped weapons found nowhere else in the game. The Nosferatu battle is particularly hard because you have only six bullets for your rifle, and it takes 4 direct shots to kill the boss. If you run out and have to use another weapon, well, lots of luck.

Space Rangers 2 starts off by being a RPG-esque space arcade/sim with economic elements. Then there's the RTS sections with Humongous Mecha, which you also can control directly in third person view. Then there's the text-based missions which range from logic puzzles, to math excercises, to "choose your own adventure" style sequences. And then there's the straightforward arcade "fly around and shoot everything" sequences inside wormholes.
Sometimes these text-based missions turned out to be economic simulators. Once it even became a text version of the Space Rangers itself. And it's hard to tell what exactly it will turn out to be when you take the quest. Just what are developers expecting from players?

Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation opens with a sixteen years-old, defenseless Lara. It's a tutorial segment, so no big deal... until Tomb Raider Chronicles, where a lengthy segment with Young Lara is tossed in the middle of the game. Not an unwelcome variation for a game that had become so formulaic by then, but still unexpected and potentially troubling.

Played with in Baba is You: While the core gameplay is still present, the Space Zone introduces the keyword "Fall", which makes objects fall to the bottom of the screen.

The largely slow-paced Metal Gear Solid series usually features at least one hectic, run-and-gun segment per game. Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty features a relatively long underwater swimming sequence.
And Metal Gear Solid 4 Guns Of The Patriots features a major fight scene between Snake and Ocelot. Nothing unusual about that, except both characters are piloting Metal Gears, Snake in REX, and Liquid in RAY. The only thing better than a bitchslap, is one involving 100-ton bipedal death machines. That doesn't really matter since it's completely awesome.
Another boss battle does something similar in which the game adopts fighting game mechanics and different controls for the final fistfight between Snake and Ocelot.
Snake's Revenge featured Rush'n Attack-esque side-scrolling segments in which the only way Snake can conceal his presence whenever the enemy faces his direction is by crawling on the ground. Oddly enough, setting plastic explosives to kill enemies does not trigger the alarm like it does in the regular areas.
Relatedly, in Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, if the player saves their game and turns it off right after Naked Snake is captured in a cell, the next time they turn it on they will be subject to an Easter Egg which isn't just a genre shift, it's a complete game shift.
A less extreme example, After planting the C3 on Shagohod´s fuel cells and defeating Volgin, EVA picks you up on her bike, and you ride the sidecar as troops, bike troops, and SHAGOHOD ITSELF (commandered by Volgin) chase both of you. Controls are the same (save for EVA driving the bike) but it plays essentially like a rail shooter, since you MUST go into first person mode. Following that, a slight change occurs again, as you must blow EVA´s bomb with a sniper rifle in order to drop Shagohod from a bridge.
And then there's the fun of the completely non-canon skateboarding minigame in the PS2 version of Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance - one of the most unexpected, stupid and yet somehow incredibly enjoyable worksafe minigames ever conceived.
The sword gameplay in Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty. Unlike all the weapons you have been using in the game, you have to use the Right Analog stick to perform slashing combos.
Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes has a Nostalgia Level-themed story mode called "Deja Vu". Apart from the silly mission objectives and deliberately unsubtle Continuity Porn the gameplay is the same slow-paced dark stealth as the core game, until you complete the game after recreating all of the SCENEs - upon which the game suddenly shifts into a quiz game about the original Metal Gear Solid with multiple choice answers, Liquid Snake and Ocelot hosting and a whooping Studio Audience.

Final Fantasy
Final Fantasy VI had the Opera House, which required the player to pick between melodramatic lyrics, so that Celes would not mess up the performance and succeed in getting herself kidnapped by Setzer. There was also the fishing minigame during the second portion of the game, which was never even given hints of being a minigame and could be considered incredibly cruel.
Final Fantasy VII had several minigames that required the player to complete in order to progress through the game. This included a vehicular combat section, segments of snowboarding and doing squats while climbing a cold mountain to keep Cloud's body temperature up, and the chocobo racing. It also had a minigame of giving CPR to Priscilla. Many of them, after their storyline appearances, could be replayed at the Gold Saucer.
Final Fantasy VIII had the Triple Triad cardgame. It could be ignored, but it was one of the best ways to get many rare items and spells. There was also a segment of Squall fighting a mook with a jetpack. Fortunately, if the player messed this up, they were allowed to start the sequence over and choose to tone down the enemy's health.
Final Fantasy IX had its own cardgame, though it included a card game tournament section where it had to be played and won at least once to proceed. If the player didn't win all their matches, they'd lose out on a nifty item, although there are other ways to obtain it. There was also Chocobo Hot And Cold, where the player used a chocobo to dig around in designated areas under a short time limit to get items and Chocographs which could be used to find specific spots to dig in on the actual world map to find even better items.
Final Fantasy X had Blitzball as its main gameplay change because part of the game focused on the big tournament in Luca, forcing the player to play against an unfairly-balanced team. Fortunately, winning or losing the game made a minute difference in a later scene, and otherwise had no impact beyond just granting a moderately rare extra item.
Final Fantasy X-2 had this in the form of the massage minigame, where the player had to massage Leblanc's back just right in order to proceed in the game. Blitzball also makes a return, but this time it's completely optional and is played more like a football manager simulation.
Final Fantasy XIII-2 had Academia AF 500. Platforming became the main aspect of advancing in that level because there was no ground. In order to proceed, the player had to jump to the platforms suspended in mid-air and time things right, as several of them rotated. invoked Word of God has confirmed that this was done intentionally, as they wanted the game's jump ability to get its fair share of use.
Final Fantasy XV, has Pitioss Ruins, an optional challenge dungeon which the protagonist must face alone, without any weapons. There are no enemies either, just a seemingly endless chain of platforming challenges.

Rather bizarrely, Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords had a brief sequence with you manning one of the Ebon Hawk's guns against a horde of Sith troopers. Even more strangely, while there was no reward for killing them with the turret, letting them board the ship and then beating them hand-to-hand was worth a healthy chunk of XP.

Return to Castle Wolfenstein involves a sequence early on in the game where the player is forced to sneak through a level, and if the player is seen, they usually get a game over almost instantly because an alarm is sounded (only in rare cases can the player get away with killing the enemy and not having another turn on the alarm). There's also a glitch that can render the level Unwinnable in some versions: if you shoot out the last alarm, the truck driver will be alerted, although unable to sound the alarm, and you'll be unable to exit. There's a second segment much later in the game that's more of an assassination mission, as you're traversing the cramped corridors of a village searching out a set of seven generals so you can kill them without being detected.

For most of the game in The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel, it's a typical rpg with normal attacks where you can use skills called "Crafts" and magic called "Arts". However, the game decides that your two final boss fights are in Divine Knights where the combat system is now suddenly a Tactical Rock–Paper–Scissors fight where attacking a part of the enemy will result in Rean getting a chance to unbalance the enemy to give him a chance for a bonus attack. And just to twist the knife further, the Final Boss is a Heads I Win, Tails You Lose fight. Fortunately, the mechanics are fixed in the sequel where they've added a lot of things in the Divine Knight battles.

Pilotwings is mostly a simple game about training excercises on various kinds of aircraft. But halfway through, and again at the end, it suddenly turns into an action game where you have to avoid antiaircraft fire in a helicopter to rescue your instructors. And again in the final stage, except that you're saving a government agent. What make this especially jarring is that you don't get any retry chance if you're shot down; it goes immediately to the Game Over screen...the implication being that you died.

The second game introduces the Guardians, hulking yeti-like monsters that are actually transformed humans. They are deadly Lightning Bruisers, strong enough to kill you with a couple of melee attacks, tough enough to survive an entire magazine of bullets, and run faster than you and can also jump long distances. In your first few encounters with them they are actually impossible to kill. In later encounters, they alternate between using ranged weapons and charging at you to fight in melee, forcing you to also alternate between using cover and avoiding it.

Peacebloom vs. Ghouls is essentially a tower defense game disguised as a quest chain, using a garden full of magical plants to defend a farm against marauding undead. Sound familiar? It should. The minigame is a deliberate tribute to PvZ with the ultimate prize being a vanity pet modeled after one of the flowers from the source.

Hammerin' Hero is a side-scrolling 2.5D platformer for the first 11 stages, and then the last level turns into a free-scrolling R-Type clone. Even the Big Bad (who you fight in the second-to-last stage) fights you in a spaceship which looks a lot like the R-9 Arrowhead, complete with Force Bit.

The Legacy of Kain series goes through several of these. Blood Omen is a top-down RPG, Soul Reaver and its sequel were very similar to each other but nothing like Blood Omen 2. Defiance. Nosgoth is just a multiplayer game with very little (if any) story.

Sonic the Hedgehog:
Sonic Adventure added a number of different genres (one for each character) to the series that had been fast paced platformers. For example: Tails' stages involve racing against Sonic or Eggman, Knuckles had to find emerald shards in non-linear stages, Amy was more slow-paced platforming with the addition of an implacable robot, E-102 Gamma was a mix of platforming and Panzer Dragoon where it had to shoot enemies to increase the stage's time limit, and Big's stages were Fishing Minigames. The Kart stages in both Sonic Adventure and Sonic Adventure 2 are even more egregious.
Sonic Unleashed:
The game introduces a werewolf-like transformation for Sonic, which is slower than Sonic and consists of a lot of bashing.
The day stages are this as well. Up to this point, the games had all used the Adventure formula, which began as somewhat the Classics in 3d, from a certain point of view: running and jumping, attacking enemies and landing on platforms, the only major changes being the homing attack, being faster paced, more story driven and less emphasis on rolling, Sonic's original gimmick. When Unleashed came around, this all changed and it became more speed orientated; the positive reception to this style of gameplay led to it being adopted as the standard for Colors onward.
And then there were the Tornado Defense and Gaia Colossus stages.
Sonic 3D Blast involves killing badniks and freeing flickies...until Panic Puppet Zone. In Act 1, they are in pods instead. In Act 2, there aren't any flickies at all as the goal is to get to the top of the level.
Sonic Mania: The boss of Chemical Plant Zone Act 2 is a literal throwback to Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine. A standalone version can be unlocked by completing Blue Sphere stages.
Sonic Frontiers: The hacking segments and the original final battle with THE END are not 3D platforming stages, but instead shmup stages that play like Ikaruga.

Mission Critical is a fairly well-done adventure game about a man who wakes up alone on a spaceship in the middle of a crisis and must resolve several immediate issues as well as uncover the backstory. Halfway through the game, the player has to connect to the ship's tactical system, at which point it turns into a Real-Time Strategy (or Turn-Based Strategy, depending on your abuse of pauses), where the player has to destroy the opponent's capital ship(s) while defending his own. The end of the game does this as well.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution had the Panchaea level. Whereas in the rest of the game you've been fighting organized soldiers and using cover, here you're faced with hordes of fast pseudo-zombies who use melee, similar to the Uncharted example. While the devs (and many players) were somewhat dissappointed with the end result, they claim that it was their intention to introduce a sudden gameplay change.

The boss songs in Guitar Hero 3, where you essentially were buffeted by random status effects and had to use your own random status effects to try and make the other guy fail.
Despite all the flack Guitar Battle has gotten, it was actually a pretty cool concept, and more in tune with the "beat the best to be the best" theme of the game than simply playing songs. The problem was that you HAD to win. You would not get another song or venue, ever, until you won the battle. Thankfully, Neversoft realized that this was a lousy idea and put only a couple of token duels in World Tour before eliminating them as a requirement for good.
This in spite of the fact that changes to the format in World Tour made the guitar duels no longer gameplay changes. Guitar duels worked much more like they would in reality- guitarists trading licks over a consistent rhythm, played out like any other song, rather than forcing the player to use power-ups to upset the other guitarist. This also removed the issue of an up-and-coming wiping the floor with veteran shredders at ratty gigs.

In Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, part of the mission to destroy the Machine Gun is an Unexpected Shmup Level, while destroying the Bomber culminates in a flight-action sequence.
Also, Sequence 8 has all of the player's weapons disabled and you're only able to use the Apple of Eden while you cut off all of Cesare's resources.
In Assassin's Creed: Revelations Den Defenses are Tower Defense minigames, while the sections where you dive into Desmond's history after collecting Animus Data Fragments are first-person platformers that require the careful placement of geometric shapes to complete. All that's missing, especially during the final sequence, which takes place in Desmond's memory of Abstergo, is a psychotic female AI snarking at you.
III and IV have Fanorona and Nine Men's Morris mini games, and IV adds Draughts (Checkers) as well. All of these are complicated enough that you won't win unless you have a very good understanding of the game but not so complicated that your opponent can't be a near-perfect play AI. The computer never concedes and is happy for games to go on forever as long as it can deny the player a win. Nine Men's Morris is perhaps the worst since it effectively has a handicap system that prevents an early lead from becoming a certain victory. These games aren't necessary to complete the story but they are linked with achievements/challenges and so can rob the player of that Last Lousy Point.

Relatedly, in Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, if the player saves their game and turns it off right after Naked Snake is captured in a cell, the next time they turn it on they will be subject to an Easter Egg which isn't just a genre shift, it's a complete game shift.
A less extreme example, After planting the C3 on Shagohod´s fuel cells and defeating Volgin, EVA picks you up on her bike, and you ride the sidecar as troops, bike troops, and SHAGOHOD ITSELF (commandered by Volgin) chase both of you. Controls are the same (save for EVA driving the bike) but it plays essentially like a rail shooter, since you MUST go into first person mode. Following that, a slight change occurs again, as you must blow EVA´s bomb with a sniper rifle in order to drop Shagohod from a bridge.

The first LEGO Star Wars game had three vehicle levels (podracing, gunships blowing stuff up on Geonosis, space battle over Coruscant) which were all partly different between each other and having gameplaywise nothing to do with the platforming/action part. It got better. Vehicle levels are now of the same standard and no longer have their own rules for every level.

Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis has several, including fistfights, car chases and flying a hot air balloon. You are presented with three choices midgame: solo mode, cooperative, or action. The balloon minigame has to be done on all routes (but is quite easy), whereas not picking the action route will enable you to bypass pretty much every other action scene except for one: You must beat up at least one of the guards on the outer ring of Atlantis to steal his rations for a puzzle.

Drakengard:
The Final Boss, in the game's hard-to-reach fifth ending, is not fought in the same way that other major enemies have been, Hack and Slash for ground enemies and Flight Sim for aerial enemies. The game orients with the dragon flying a circle around the boss as it emits white and black colored circles. The player has to emit a white circle back for a white circle and so on with black circles, turning the game into a simplified version of Simon. That said, the patterns emitted by the Final Boss are soul-crushingly difficult to replicate at times.
There's a similarly frustrating battle in the sequel: On the path to Ending B (and the final ending), the protagonist Nowe is forced to fight the Bone Casket/Seed of Resurrection where Nowe was created. Surrounding the structure are several colored crystals (?). The "boss" only has two abilities—it glows with a colored light, and a shockwave. However, touching the boss while it's glowing is an instant kill. The shockwave is also instant death. The only way to damage the boss is to use the downward strike, and then hide behind the crystal that matches the color the boss is glowing. And then you only have a split second to jump off (or summon Legna and fly off) before the boss starts glowing again. The timing of your attack and the boss's color pattern can be very hard to gauge, and if you die you have to start all over again until you win.
The third game has a redux of the first game's final boss, this time as a fleshed out rhythm game segment with multiple parts, confusing patterns and camera angles actively working against you. The song is about seven minutes long and the last note must be guessed because the screen has already turned pitch black. One wrong button input and it's back to square one. No wonder it became the series' That One Boss overnight.

Darksiders II
The game turns into a third person shooter during the Earth level when Death can pick up an angelic energy minigun off a dead Hellguard or be given one by their leader Uriel to mow down hordes of undead, and he can find an abandoned demonic missile launcher in the level to do the same. While it's not technically required to use either, melee combat is practically unfeasible against the unrelenting undead and the recurring boss that plagues the level, so you might as well be an undead hunter with unlimited ammunition.
There's a similar gauntlet in the "Argul's Tomb" and "Demon Lord Belial" DLCs where Death can pick up said demon missile launcher and go blasting on the ice skeletons and demons charging at him. Again, not required, but it definitely makes the swarm of enemies much more manageable with the powerful splash damage, especially near the end where they start throwing the hardier enemies in alongside the grunts, culminating in the former having no less than three Frost Giants in the arena at once and the latter having some of the toughest Elite Mooks introduced in the level attacking Death all together.

Team Fortress 2:
The Halloween update added an MMORPG-style raid boss in the form of the Horseless Headless Horsemann: ridiculously difficult to kill and gives an achievement and a rare drop to the person who lands the finishing blow.
Team Fortress 2 has many unofficial modes made by fans of the game. First, you might be in a Vs. Saxton Hale game, where it's your team against the super-manly CEO of Mann Co., and then FortWars, where your team builds walls out of junk and then plays "keep-away" with the intelligence, either protecting it or killing the other team, and then it's off to PropHunt, where one team has been transformed into various bits of scenery (a haystack, a barrel, a wooden cow, etc.) while the other team must find them. The hunted can't use any sort of weapon, but the hunters lose health every time they fire their weapons, to prevent spamming.
Scream Fortress 2014 added a Hallowe'en map called Carnival of Carnage, where both teams end up in bumper cars and with a new objective once the map's main objective has been completed by one team or another. The bumper car objectives are collecting rubber ducks or avoiding falling platforms, or trying to play car football with them. Alternatively, a team can win any of these objectives by knocking the enemy team off the bumper car area. This new addition also quickly spawned a new mod that basically turns the game into Mario Kart!

Final Fantasy X had Blitzball as its main gameplay change because part of the game focused on the big tournament in Luca, forcing the player to play against an unfairly-balanced team. Fortunately, winning or losing the game made a minute difference in a later scene, and otherwise had no impact beyond just granting a moderately rare extra item.

The Super Nintendo Jurassic Park game (not to be confused with games of that name for other platforms) is an overhead action/adventure game outdoors and a first-person shooter indoors. Oddly enough, the first-person shooter segments were almost trivially easy, whereas the outdoor segments could be difficult at times, what with the enemies abruptly jumping out from under nearby foliage.

Call of Duty:
This trope has been used since the beginning of the series. The first game has two levels where you drive a T-34 tank through a fortified German city. 2, 3, and World at War followed suit, putting you in respectively a Crusader tank fighting enemy armor in the Libyan desert, a Sherman Firefly fighting through the Normandy hedgerows, and another T-34 rampaging through Seelow Heights.
The first game's expansion pack, United Offensive, has a level where you play as the gunner of a B-17 bomber, defending your plane from a ludicrously large number of German fighters.
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare has two of these. "All Ghillied Up" is a stealth-based Sniping Mission, and "Death from Above" puts you in the gunner's seat of an AC-130 gunship. There's much to be said, after being in missions where you're outgunned and outnumbered, to be in a mission where it's the enemy and their AKs versus you and your 105mm howitzer, 40mm rapid-fire cannon, and electric minigun. "All Ghillied Up" is a particularly masterful example of a well-done Unexpected Gameplay Change; the first hint that it's going to be mostly stealthy is when as the game fades into view of an empty field of grass, your companion is only revealed when a piece of the scenery gets up and creeps forward.
Call of Duty: World at War has its own Gameplay Change in the form of "Black Cats", in which the focus shifts from taking on the Japanese/Germans on the ground to shooting down Zeroes over the Pacific from the gun turrets of a Catalina flying boat.
Call of Duty: Black Ops II featured optional (although highly recommended to complete) side missions that add some RTS game mechanics or directly control one of the units deployed to become something akin of a tactical shooter. It's just too bad that the soldiers under your command are so stupid.
In Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, the final two missions are this. At the beginning of Captured, your prosthetic left arm is destroyed and you are forced to play through the level with one arm, one gun, and no reserve ammunition. Mitchell is forced to repeatedly scavenge new weapons from the enemies he kills if the current weapon's mag runs dry. The end of that level and most of the next level take a turn into Mech Shooter territory when you hijack an enemy AST.

Stage 4 in Contra III, the first half of which is an auto scrolling ride on a jetbike, the second half of which has you hanging from missiles. These concepts carried over into most later games.

At the end of Crysis, which has been almost entirely on-foot first-person shooter action with minor, optional car usage, a level takes place with the player driving a VTOL fighter craft, which handles like a pregnant cow, and which you have to engage in dogfights with.
You were given a prep course for that when you had to drive an alleged tank which has lousy traction, can't push through a picket fence, has no weapons stabilization what-so-ever, and doesn't even let you use the binoculars you have while walking around.

Super Mario Galaxy loves to shift from 3D gameplay to 2D gameplay, but the opening level of Super Mario Galaxy 2 takes the cake — it starts on a strict 2D plane, then becomes 2½D (as in that Mario can roam freely around the ground, yet the game is still in a sidescrolling state), and then fully 3D by the time Mario reaches the castle.

The Outfoxies has a gameplay change on the last level. Instead of another one-on-one duel, you start off outside a seemingly empty mansion. Unsurprisingly, the mansion is booby-trapped. Once you get past a deadly obstacle course, you reach the final showdown—your rocket launcher versus a combat helicopter.

No More Heroes intersperses hack-and-slash mayhem with open sandbox city exploration, item collection, a Galaga-esque space shooter sequence, public services such as cleaning up the park or mowing lawns, hitting a baseball through a row of enemies, and avoiding obstacles on a highway chase.
No More Heroes III introduces a third-person shooter sub-mode that has a few unique bosses, where Travis dons Gundam-esque mecha-armor and fights giant aliens in space. After beating a certain boss, the mecha-armor becomes usable in base gameplay via the kill Roulette, even able to use unique Limit Break techniques.

Pokémon Scarlet and Violet continues to have minigames for Gym challenges, including a Simon Says-style game for the Psychic Gym and a skiing course for the Ice Gym, although some of these challenges also have battles interspersed throughout them. In addition, taking on Team Star requires the player to fight their way through thirty grunt Pokemon before taking on the boss, with this challenge being not dissimilar to real-time strategy. A major change also comes into play when challenging the Elite Four: before you can even take on the first member of the Elite Four, you need to complete an interview. But Thou Must! is not in effect here, either: if you answer poorly, you'll fail the interview and need to start it over from the beginning.

God Hand has a jumping puzzle towards the end. Playing the game for 30 seconds will show you how inane this is.
Stylistic Suck controls and Platform Hell do not go together. Then again, Stylistic Suck...
The game also has a random Simon Says where you punch cannonballs back at the ship that's firing them halfway through world 3, it manages to be little more than a time-waster as it's not very hard at all. There's another one in world 5 where you have to fire a cannon (with really terrible missile drag) to shoot down an enemy ship, doing good at it is thankfully optional, but every hit kills an enemy so it's advised you learn to shoot it down to make it easier on yourself.

Dead Man's Hand, for the most part, is a Western-themed FPS, save for two stages (a horse chase and a Minecart Madness sequence) who inexplicably turns into a Rail Shooter - you can't control where you're moving, and can only fire away at mooks to avoid damage, besides shooting items to collect them and boost your health or gain more ammo (think Lethal Enforcers 2 or Gunfighter: The Legend of Jesse James instead of Red Dead Redemption).

Marvel Ultimate Alliance makes you play some Pitfall with the character who activated the machine as the game character. This can be pretty annoying when characters that can usually fly or teleport keep falling into pits.
And also an instance of Breakout where one of your characters actually pushes the paddle left and right and plays the game, while the others should try to avoid getting hit by the ball.

Escape from Butcher Bay is for the most part a thrilling mashup of throat-slashing stealth and amazing first-person melee combat. Fighting an armed prison guard head-on is likely to get you killed. 2/3rds through you finally pick up a firearm of your own, which turns it into a 1st-person shooter. The REAL gameplay change though, comes after you get access to a nigh-indestructible mech and get to crush all those enemies you hid from for most of the game in pure power fantasy style.

Soul Series:
Soul Blade goes from 3D fighting game to first person during Mitsurugi's ending: You have to fight Teppou Hei wielding Tanegashima (a primitive firearm) from a first-person view. Then again, it's less of a fight and more of a "sidestep left twice in a rapid succession, mash forward, press any button, win".
Soulcalibur III has shades of this in its Chronicles of the Sword mode, which arranges the fights on an RTS-style map and implements RPG levelling, while individual encounters are resolved in the traditional 3D-fighter-with-weapons style. The combination of AI that really only knows how to Zerg Rush, bizarre arena effects, and the fact that the enemies will always be at least five levels higher than your main character can lead to moments of frustration.

Should you unlock the second loop of Ketsui, the game will dramatically change the scoring system; instead of a chain-based system where you point-blank enemies and then chain enemies for '5' chips, you can only get '1' chips and you can't chain enemies. In the standard "omote" loop, you won't get chips if you prevent enemies from firing their post-death bullets by killing them up-close, but you get a bonus for doing so in the special "ura" loop.

TAGAP has a few sections that change the gameplay, such as where you can fly/swim (8-way movement) and/or are in control of a vehicle (can only use the vehicle's weapons, which have infinite ammo). Two notable ones are in the second game:
A turret section on a dinghy that's speeding forward. Various enemies try to predict your trajectory and shoot you, but you can briefly speed up or slow down the dinghy to make them miss.
A platforming section on a scooter, while you're completely defenseless except for a charge attack. Most of the level is spent timing your sprints to jump over obstacles, or by progressing through a series of jumps.

Sam & Max: Freelance Police:
Ice Station Santa in Beyond Time And Space has a sequence where you have to send a remote-controlled doll into a underground boxing ring filled with (literal) rats, which plays out as a very blatant Punch-Out!! homage.
The Devil's Playhouse has the first chunk of it play out as an Ace Attorney-style Visual Novel.
Referenced in "Beyond the Valley of the Dolls", during the early sequence where a horde of Sam clones are trying to storm Stinky's Diner. Sam turns on a radio, which prompts Max to say "Hey, good idea! Maybe we can turn this horrific seige into some sort of half-assed rhythm minigame!"

Although Action 52 is itself a wild mishmash of games and genres, a couple of its games do this. The third level of "Ninja Assault" is a frustrating log-jumping level in the midst of beat-'em-up levels, and "Bubblegum Rosie" has an even more frustrating driving stage in between the first and third platformer levels. Cheetahmen starts out as an isometric beat-em-up similar to the first level of Battletoads, but is a platformer for the rest of the game.

Portal:
Parodied when GLaDOS "accidentally" sends you to a battle-droid training chamber because the usual testing area is being repaired. (Given that the Enrichment Center is deserted, this is almost certainly a half-truth at best.) Instead of figuring out how to get around strange logic puzzles, you need to use your skills to deactivate the security drones.
Soon after this point the whole game begins to subtly genre shift from a simple, plot-less puzzle platformer to a more straight-up platformer with puzzle elements added in, with a storyline resembling survival horror more than anything else.
The 'straight-up platformer with puzzle elements added in' is, essentially, just making the story part of the puzzles.

The final eight stages of Plok are a gauntlet run of unexpected gameplay changes. Each stage of the Fleapit puts Plok behind the wheel of a different vehicle with touchy controls and (in most cases) nigh-useless weapons. The final stage arms Plok with the "Secret Super-Vehicle", a weapon so supposedly awesome that the manual only shows it in silhouette. It's a pair of spring shoes, a can of flea spray and a football helmet. That's right, the game nerfs Plok for the final battle with the Flea Queen, and rather severely at that.

Final Fantasy VIII had the Triple Triad cardgame. It could be ignored, but it was one of the best ways to get many rare items and spells. There was also a segment of Squall fighting a mook with a jetpack. Fortunately, if the player messed this up, they were allowed to start the sequence over and choose to tone down the enemy's health.

Suzerain is a Political Strategy Game presented as a text-based visual novel.

In Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, the final two missions are this. At the beginning of Captured, your prosthetic left arm is destroyed and you are forced to play through the level with one arm, one gun, and no reserve ammunition. Mitchell is forced to repeatedly scavenge new weapons from the enemies he kills if the current weapon's mag runs dry. The end of that level and most of the next level take a turn into Mech Shooter territory when you hijack an enemy AST.

Spyro: Year of the Dragon included a lot of interesting gameplay changes as optional side missions, including a two-part FPS sequence where you take control of an ape with a laser gun. As a fun homage, the two parts of this sequence were titled "You're Doomed!" and "You're still Doomed!" The mid to late Spyro the Dragon games (Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage! and the Gamecube games) are guilty of this too. In Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly there are minigames where Spyro gets to pilot fighter planes and tanks.

ULTRAKILL: Each of the game's secret missions is a different kind of unexpected gameplay change.
The prelude's secret mission is a Slender-style horror game, where you lose all of your weapons except your default revolver and must reach the end of a maze before a monster One Hit Kills you.
Limbo's secret mission is a puzzle level paying homage to The Witness, and the gameplay of the level is more or less the same.
Lust's secret mission is a Visual Novel note no, not that kind of visual novel, despite what the layer name might suggest.
Greed's secret mission turns the game into a Crash Bandicoot-style platformer, with a fixed-camera third person perspective for the entire level and V1 given a similar Spin Attack. Breaking every crate in the level allows you to carry this over to the main game (in the form of a cheat) if you so desire.
Wrath's secret mission is a Fishing Minigame.

The Pokemon Contests in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire.
They've been carried over and made even more complicated in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. If you want to master them, you may have to actually train Pokemon specifically for contests, giving them different moves than battle-concentrated Pokemon, and manipulating their natures to fit the contest you want.
Diamond & Pearl also have two new mini-games thrown in to take advantage of the DS's touch-screen and wifi capabilities: (There are benefits to playing them at the same time as friends.)
A "Poffin-making" game consisting of making circles with the stylus, adjusting the speed and direction in reaction to signals on the screen. The main purpose of this is to make your 'mons perform better in one phase of the contests.
An "underground" game allowing you to encounter other players, and set harmless "traps" for them. There's also a mini-game within the mini-game that's somewhat similar to Battleship. Both of these parts are encouraged, to achieve 100% completion.
HGSS has the Pokéathelon, which is the Olympics with Pokémon!
In Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs, there are levels where you have to chase someone underwater by diving down and levels where you have to dodge swarms of energy bullets.
Pokémon Sword and Shield has little minigames and extra challenges in its Gyms: the Grass Gym has you herding Wooloo, and the Water Gym has a puzzle involving switching on and off large water pipes, for instance. The Dark Gym is the only outlier, with players simply fighting their way through opposing trainers to reach the Gym Leader. The Dark Gym also stands out by its lack of a Power Spot, thus leaving Pokémon unable to Dynamax.
Pokémon Scarlet and Violet continues to have minigames for Gym challenges, including a Simon Says-style game for the Psychic Gym and a skiing course for the Ice Gym, although some of these challenges also have battles interspersed throughout them. In addition, taking on Team Star requires the player to fight their way through thirty grunt Pokemon before taking on the boss, with this challenge being not dissimilar to real-time strategy. A major change also comes into play when challenging the Elite Four: before you can even take on the first member of the Elite Four, you need to complete an interview. But Thou Must! is not in effect here, either: if you answer poorly, you'll fail the interview and need to start it over from the beginning.

The final stages of Dead Rising do this a lot. Once the Special Forces arrive the gameplay shifts violently from fighting hoards of stupid slow zombies to fighting intelligent enemies with ranged weapons who capture instead of killing, with a lot more emphasis on stealth. The second-to-last part of the story suddenly puts you into a gun turret fighting off a tank. Then for the final boss you lose all your weapons and have to fight him with those hand-to-hand moves you probably never bothered to learn because a chainsaw always worked so much better.

The first game takes a turn into survival horror with the introduction of the zombie-like Descendants. These are more fragile than humans and can't attack at range, but they're incredibly fast and charge right at you without sticking to cover. Their claws can kill you in one or two hits, and it's impossible to hurt them in melee. You have to avoid sticking to cover and use "blindfire" (firing without aiming) to deal with them. The change in enemy is compounded by the different environments: dark, claustrophobic hallways that emphasize the survival horror elements. The mood that these segments evoke is similar to the "cut the power in the alien base" segments of the Metroid Prime Trilogy. The difference being that Samus is essentially wearing a tank and Nathan Drake goes down from a few slashes.

BoxxyQuest: The Gathering Storm is a typical turn-based RPG... except when it isn't. At certain points, especially as you get nearer to the end, you'll suddenly find yourself thrust into platforming levels, Mode 7 Bullet Hell sequences, nonogram puzzle rooms, and all sorts of other crazy situations. The platformer bits stand out especially, mainly because they're so dang hard.

Kingdom Hearts:
The Gummi Ship mini-games, where you go from an Adventure Game to piloting a Star Fox-esque spaceship against waves of enemies. In Kingdom Hearts II, the Atlantica world throws you into a sort of Rhythm Game; this was possibly in response to the original Atlantica, which stayed in-genre but added a badly-implemented third dimension. Finally, one of your Summons allows you to temporarily switch to "FPS Mode".
One part of the final boss fight also notably plays like a rail shooter rather than the game's typical fighting system.
Kingdom Hearts Re: coded is, for the most part, an RPG with a battle system closest to Birth by Sleep, but every level ends with something different. Olympus, for instance, turns into a turn-based RPG (appropriate, since Cloud is there).
Birth By Sleep. Disney Town. You have three minigames, in each character's story you have to do one of them. They are: Kart Racing, a Rhythm game and this volleyball...thing. And you HAVE to do the one in your storyline. And you can't just get a 'decent' score on the rhythm game, it has to be a high one.

The Messenger (2018):
The game switches from being a Ninja Gaiden-esque platformer to a full-on Metroidvania after defeating The Dragon, with the Ninja being tasked to find the notes of the Music Boxes after allowing his own Messenger to die.
In the Picnic Panic DLC, a giant version of Barma'thazël after he fuses with the Dark Messenger causes the game to switch to a Punch-Out!!-styled battle with the Arcane Golem taking the place of Little Mac.

The Adventures of Bayou Billy was probably one of the first examples of this although it might not have been all that unexpected. The game was mostly a side-scrolling early Beat 'em Up in the vein of Double Dragon. There was still the odd driving levels and a Shoot 'Em Up level where you had the option to use the Zapper light gun in place of the regular controller.

Super Smash Bros.:
Snake's Final Smash in Brawl has you shooting grenades at the players like a third-person shooter.
Zero Suit Samus's Final Smash in the 3DS and Wii U instalments is similar to Snake's final smash, only instead of it being a third-person shooter, is actually a first-person shooter.
Donkey Kong's Final Smash changes his gameplay into a Rhythm Game. This is driven further in the 3DS and Wii U instalments where a rhythm bar appears over DK.
The Subspace Emissary, a sidescrolling action-adventure game contained within Brawl, may fall under this trope. Also, SSE itself ends with a Metroidvania segment, The Great Maze.

Against the Storm:
It's possible to start your settlement next to "world modifiers", which give some benefit or drawback, while promising greater rewards as a result. Most are fairly simple — "start with 50 hostility", "no fertile land", etc — but the Fishmen Ritual Ground changes the entire game: envoys refuse to go near the area, and, as a result, you get no orders. Orders are the primary way of getting difficult-to-obtain resources and Reputation points, plus a major source of new villagers outside of the yearly influx, and so not having access to them makes the game considerably more difficult: the only way to increase Reputation is by getting high Resolve (difficult to do until you've expanded into several glades) and Glade Events (difficult to do as they require resources you might not have easy access to).
Settlements next to Seals still play like normal, but filling the Reputation bar doesn't win the game. You need to both find the seal itself — with every glade containing a marker pointing toward its general direction — and reassemble four parts for an Ancient Guardian that'll finish the job.
