Line 133:
* ''[[Mortal Kombat]]'':
** ''[[Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks]]'' has a good number of these.
** In the core games, there were Stage Fatalities, where the winner could use a feature of the area (like the Pit with spikes, the Dead Pool full of acid, or even a subway train) to finish off the opponent. From Deception onward, there were also Death Traps, which were like Brutalities (the ability kill the opponent without reducing his life bar to zero) using something in the area. The nastiest is likely the Falling Cliffs in Deception and Armageddon, which is a platform in a mountainous area that is constantly wracked by earthquakes; knocking a combatant off causes the unlucky fighter to be impaled on a long stalagmite. It's even possible for both players to be taken out by [[Mutual Kill]] here.<ref>In which case, whoever's health bar was less at the time that happens loses the round.</ref>
* This is the entire point of ''[[I Wanna Be the Guy]]''. It would be redundant to list the numerous things that will kill [[One-Hit-Point Wonder|The Kid]] throughout the game, but suffice to say that every single screen is enough to make the proudest [[Adventure Archaeologist]] [[Bowel-Breaking Bricks|shit bricks]].
* ''[[Dwarf Fortress]]'' lets you build these as a very effective method of keeping your fortress safe from invaders. Interestingly, you can make an auxiliary entrance which invaders are forced to take when your drawbridge is up or your main entrance is sealed off in some other way. This entrance, of course, can be extremely long and extremely deadly.
Line 147:
* About halfway through [[Dead Space 2]], Tiedemann seals Isaac in a section of the Sprawl meant for processing hazardous waste. This includes several large, sharp, spinning objects that will kill you if you get too close. Which must be navigated in Zero G. Arguably the most fun part of the game.
* [[Orcs Must Die]] runs on you creating these, [[Smashing Hallway Traps of Doom|pushing, crushing, smashing]] piercing, slicing, [[Kill It with Fire|burning]], [[Shock and Awe|electricuting]], bludgeoning, freezing and [[Impaled with Extreme Prejudice|impaling]] hapless orcs.. Then there's the catapult trap which, when placed correctly, can catapult the orcs all the way back to the beginning of said deathcourse.
