=== '''Examples:''' ===
* Bubblegloop Swamp, the [[Trope Namer]], in ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]''. Its entrance lobby can be seen in the lower left corner of this page's image.
** Tooie featured Quagmire and the area outside of Grunty Industries, both industrialized areas full of noxious purple gook inhabited by hungry mutants.
*** A stock obstacle in many levels was a swampy area which you couldn't enter, lest you be literally chewed up and spat out by a mutant venus flytrap.
*** What made the obstacle worse was that by all appearances, he enjoyed your taste-he was just spitting you out so he could be a dick and bite you again later.
Line 30 ⟶ 31:
** Similarly, any Dagobah level in videogame adapations of ''[[The Empire Strikes Back]]'' qualifies. The planet also makes an appearance in ''[[Rogue Squadron]] 3'', as well as ''Star Wars: Demolition'' and ''[[Star Wars Battlefront]] II'' .
* Several have appeared throughout the ''[[Rayman]]'' series, considering that the unique mosquitoes are a fairly iconic part of the Rayman universe... These include "The Dream Forest" in 1, "The Marshes of Awakening", "The Bayou", and the "Sanctuary of Rock and Lava" in 2, and the Bog of Murk in 3.
* Southern Swamp (which surrounds the Deku Palace) from ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|The Legend of Zelda Majoras Mask]]'', as well as Misery Mire in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|The Legend of Zelda a Link To T He Past]]'', Goponga Swamp in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening|The Legend of Zelda Links Awakening]]'', and the Castor Wilds in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap|The Legend of Zelda the Minish Cap]]'' that [[WalkWalking Onon Water|required the Pegasus Boots to avoid sinking]].
* Gooey Swamp and a bit of Steamy Marsh in ''[[Freshly -Picked: TinglesTingle's Rosy Rupeeland]]''.
* Slightly offbeat platformer ''[[Vexx]]'' had the Neverglades, which combined aspects of a swampy level with a [[Temple of Doom]].
* Bograth in the ''[[Magi Nation]]'' series.
* Deep Darkness in ''[[EarthboundEarthBound]]''.
* The Great Marsh in Pastoria and the route west of it in ''[[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl]]''. Good luck catching Croagunk and Carnivine. A bit of a [[That One Level]] because of your character's tendency to get stuck in deep mud and waste time trying to wiggle out of it.
** Several areas outside Icirrus City in ''[[Pokémon Black and White]]'', including the aptly-named Moor of Icirrus, which [[Slippy-Slidey Ice World|freezes over]] in the winter.
* The Death Marshes in ''Turok 2: Seeds of Evil'', which has both the River of Souls' [[Grimy Water]], and [[Quicksand Sucks|Killer Quicksand]] pits.
* Torvus Bog in ''[[Metroid Prime]] 2''
* One of the more interesting level designs of ''[[R-Type]] Final'' was Stage 2, which started out as a standard [[Bubblegloop Swamp]]. However, if you perform certain actions while fighting the boss, the next playthrough changes the climate of the stage. The stage can dry out, eventually becoming a harsh desert, or flood, eventually becoming a frozen sea. Each version (five in all) has an altered variety or layout of enemies. This is explained in the game's database by the boss' ability to alter the climate and temperature.
* Planet Bogad from the ''[[Futurama]]'' video game. Bonus points for being based off of [[Star Wars|Dagobah]].
* Mz. Ruby's level in the first ''[[Sly Cooper]]'' game.
Line 45 ⟶ 46:
* Planet Oozla from the second ''[[Ratchet and Clank]]'' game, Planet Cobalia from ''Tools Of Destruction'' and Planet Sarathos from ''Deadlocked''.
* There are four prominent swamps in ''[[World of Warcraft]]'': The Wetlands (which, for a long time, was the scourge of low-level Alliance players travelling between the Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor), Dustwallow Marsh (which inexplicably has several towns, most notably Theramore and its leader, Lady Jaina Proudmoore), Swamp of Sorrows and in Outland you have Zangarmarsh, which overlaps with [[Fungus Humongous]].
* ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' has this in the Bubble Breeze Galaxy, where just touching the grimy water causes Mario's gruesome instant death, as well as various other hostile stuff. Possibly also world 4 in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', which had bright purple water that killed Mario on contact, various enemies like spiders that would get in the way and sections where you had to ride a sea creature called Dorrie to cross said purple water. World 5 as a forest/swamp with deadly purple muck returns in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''.
** Parts of the [[Bubbly Clouds|Cloudy Court]] and [[Big Boo's Haunt|Boo Moon Galaxies]] from [[Super Mario Galaxy 2|the sequel]] also take place in a poison swamp.
* The Frog's marsh in ''[[Legend of Kay]]''.
Line 60 ⟶ 61:
** There's also Spooky Swamp in ''Spyro: Year of the Dragon'' and a whole homeworld of swamp in the first game.
* The later levels of the first world in the Wii ''[[A Boy and His Blob]]'' are this, after the first few levels are the [[Green Hill Zone]].
* The Swamp of No Hope, Nightshadow Bog and especially The Peat Bog in ''[[Ever QuestEverQuest]] II''
* [[Real Life]] version: The Blue Bayou segments of several [[Disney Theme Parks]].
** And the Cartoon Wasteland in ''[[Disney Epic Mickey]]'', which is based on Disneyland, has Bog Easy.
Line 69 ⟶ 70:
* ''[[Bug!]]!'' had Splot. Filled with dangerous enemies (especially the [[More Dakka|machine-gun]] snails that were [[Made of Iron]]), [[Death Course]] sections, [[Super Drowning Skills|insta-kill water]], and the [[That One Boss|swamp worm boss]].
* ''Dunmore'' and The ''Misty Swamp'' in ''Zanzarah'' as mentioned in [[Swamps Are Evil]]...
* The first act of Marahna in ''[[Act RaiserActRaiser]]'' is a [[Hailfire Peaks|combination]] of this, [[Jungle Japes]], and [[Temple of Doom]]. Also, the swamps and [[Grimy Water|poisoned lake]] in Bloodpool.
* Bogshot in ''Neopets: The Darkest Faerie'' which is mentioned in [[Swamps Are Evil]]
* ''Drakan: The Ancients' Gate'' had "Shadowmire"
