Sometimes, Jump Physics aren't enough to give you the vertical boost you need in a video game level. That's when conveniently placed air vents could come in handy — just be sure that they're switched on first. There may also be fans to blow you sideways. If you're much smaller than the environment, being able to hover over air vents makes sense. In other cases, just trust that the vents are powerful enough to keep you buoyant. If the vents are being harmful rather than pushy, see Steam Vent Obstacle. See also Air-Aided Acrobatics and Gusty Glade where there are no fans visible. One of the ways to make a Spring Jump. |

The Talos Principle: The fan operates its own set of physics which are distinct from the more realistic rules used otherwise in the game. Any bot or block, including items carried by such, placed directly in front of the fan is flung along a specific fixed trajectory, regardless of the target's total weight or its momentum prior to entering the fan. | |

This happens in Sonic The Hedgehog 3 in Hydrocity Zone with fans that are often placed on the bottom of the water. Occasionally you will even encounter walls of fans that blow you uncontrollably in a general direction which may even end up being straight up to the top of the level depending on the grade of slopes in your way. | |

One of Ghostrunner's early-levels is filled with massive wind turbines that you can lift you way up in the air and aid your platforming. The problem is that some of the vents also risk pushing you off platforms, or if they're above, shoving you straight down a bottomless pit. | |

Half-Life There's one area where Gordon has to turn on a big fan, which propels him up to crash against the ceiling. Yet despite "falling" up about 100 feet and slamming into a set of wood boards, he's not hurt. Freeman's Mind does claim that he got the breath knocked out of him upon impact. Black Mesa goes on a simpler, more logical route: after Gordon soars a certain height, he's merely suspended in place by the updraft, just enough to reach into the correct Air-Vent Passageway. |

One room has a puzzle where the direction in which the steam vents take you keep changing based on where you land, which can be hard to solve, especially if you end up on the Inconveniently-Placed Conveyor Belt that takes you back to the start. | |

The Legend of Zelda: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time: The Shadow Temple and the forest route of Ganon's Tower use giant fans for this purpose. Wearing the Iron Boots will keep Link from being blown around and even let him advance through the gust. At one point, however, you have to use the Hover Boots so you can be safely pushes airborne towards a distant spot without falling into the pit in-between. The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword: Link gets the 'sailcloth', a small square of fabric that miraculously works as well as a parachute. It has the side bonus of lifting him high into the air whenever he steps over an air vent. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild has the paraglider. With a certain ability, Link can even create his very own (temporary) updraft. |

The Halo games have this from Halo 2 and 3 multiplayer onward. If a map is supposed to be human in design (as opposed to Covenant), it'll have vents that push you to the next floor. Bungie did this because Ladder Physics are just problematic and silly. The third installment also introduced the Man Cannon, capable of launching you forward for about a hundred yards. The Covenant and Forerunner maps have actual gravity lifts instead of vents. | |

In Pokémon Black and White before going to the Victory Road, you need to pass through a series of doors/gates. To pass you need to prove you have the gym badge and you can proceed. Each room has a theme which resembles the gym type. One of them has no floor, just wind... Skyla's gym in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 plays with this. The fans will blow you the wrong way if you aren't careful, but along with the stops, they must be utilized to navigate the puzzle and reach her. |

Metroid Prime 3 makes use of this trope for sections when Samus is navigating her way through mazes while in Morph Ball form. The vents themselves often have to be activated with a bomb.

The Wind Tunnels level in Quake. Quake II also had a few air shafts with fan currents, including one instance where you had to deactivate the fan to descend the shaft, lest you get chopped up. | |

Tomba! 2 has this as a major means of navigating around the Pipe Area. Each vent requires Tomba to freeze and then knock off a Capper residing on top of it so that steam can come out. | |

Mega Man has encountered vent physics many times. Everybody's favourite example is Air Man, a Mega Man 2 boss who cannot be defeated thanks to the giant fan in his stomach. MegaMan.EXE had a similar encounter with AirMan.EXE in Mega Man Battle Network 2. In Mega Man 7, there is a boss battle where there are fans giving you that extra height to your jumps. |

The Angry Birds spinoffs have started to incorporate this: The "Red Planet" level of Angry Birds Space has volcanic vents that can either help or hinder you based on the screen design. The Cloud City episode of Angry Birds Star Wars has large air vents in several levels that alter bird flight paths and send used birds and debris flying around. Angry Birds 2 has fans in several stages that have the same effect as the vents in AB Star Wars. |

Shogo: Mobile Armor Division had one level set in an enormous ventilation system with a gargantuan fan at the bottom providing lift and an easy way to kill yourself. How big exactly? Well, big enough to accomodate (and send flying) the Humongous Mecha that you're piloting. | |

Black Mesa goes on a simpler, more logical route: after Gordon soars a certain height, he's merely suspended in place by the updraft, just enough to reach into the correct Air-Vent Passageway. | |
