{{examples}}
* Various arcade-style games, such as ''[[Gauntlet (1985 video game)]]'', ''[[Mario Bros.]].'', ''Binary Land'' had bonus stages after completing a certain number of regular stages.
* ''Wrecking Crew'' had a find-the-coin bonus minigame after every fourth stage.
* In the original ''[[Super Mario Bros. (video game)|Super Mario Bros]]'', going down certain pipes or climbing up hidden vines would take you to hidden areas filled with coins. Later games in the series kept these in-level bonus areas but added entirely separate levels, sometimes hidden, sometimes not, in which you could get loads of points, lives, or items.
Line 54:
* In [[American Football]], the "extra point" and "two-point conversion" qualify. They come after a major score, and failure usually has no consequence other than not getting the extra points. However, in extreme cases, [[Epic Fail|it's possible for the other team to score]].
* In ''[[Oasis (Video Game)|Oasis]]'', bonus stage where most of the map consists of large oasis. There is also a single town. Once the glyph and the city is discovered, victory is guaranteed.
* ''[[Aladdin (Virgin Games)|Aladdin]]'' has special tokens you can collect to earn a chance to play as Abu in Agrabah or the Cave of Wonders.
* Similarly, ''[[The Lion King (Video Game)|The Lion King]]'' has bugs that can be collected to play bonus games as Timon or Pumbaa.
* In ''[[Aladdin (Capcom)|Aladdin]]'', the "A Whole New World" stage is a bonus level with no enemies.
* ''[[Battletoads]] in Battlemaniacs'' had continuous scrolling bonus stages following the second and fifth levels. The object was to collect the bowling pins or dominoes for points and avoid the black ones and enemies.
** The ''[[Battletoads]]'' [[Arcade Game]] had a ''Street Fighter II''-like timed stage after the third level to demolish a Rat Fighter like the one from ''Battletoads and Double Dragon''.
Line 62:
* ''[[Spiral Knights]]'' periodically and randomly inserts bonus stages into their dungeons. These levels are full of money, items, [[Experience Points|Heat]] and [[Green Rocks|Minerals]], with no enemies to attack.
* In ''[[Space Harrier]]'', stages 5 and 12 have you [[Dragon Rider|leap onto a friendly dragon]] and score points by flying into everything in sight.
* ''[[Jackie ChansChan's Action Kung Fu]]'' has hidden bells in many places. When Jackie picks up a bell, he is instantly transported to a "special stage," where he can win points, by punching/kicking things or jumping on clouds, that can be spent on health, continues, and Psycho Waves. There's a show of fireworks for a perfect score.
* ''[[Milon's Secret Castle|Milons Secret Castle]]'' has hidden music boxes that transport Milon to an area in which he collects musical notes to earn money.
* ''[[Jaws (video game)|Jaws]]'' has a bonus stage involving bombing jellyfish from a plane.
