Disconnected Side Area: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

In video games, normally one expects all playable parts of a level to be reachable from one single point. It might not be a point you can get to without unlocking a whole bunch of things and even [[Back Tracking]] from later in the game, but it still ought to be there.

 

 

Common in [[Metroidvania]] style games and some [[RPG]] titles.

{{examples}}

* ''[[Banjo-Kazooie|Banjo-Tooie]]'' likes to put Jiggies in these side areas, though other items are hidden here as well. The game isn't consistent about which Jiggies count for which levels: one of the Jiggies counting for Hailfire Peaks has to be reached from Terrydactyland, while another is in a side area of Grunty Industries. Yet another Hailfire Peaks Jiggy is in an ice cave that doesn't connect to anywhere else on the Icy Side.
