Line 12:
In top-down games, a conveyor belt will often act as a [[Broken Bridge]], going too fast for you to be able to run against. It's a one-way trip unless you can find a way to shut it off or reverse it.
Occasionally overlaps with [[Conveyor Belt O' Doom]], which may get adapted into this trope in [[Licensed Game|Licensed Games]].
{{examples
* ''[[Blue Dragon]]'' has conveyor belt puzzles, in which you will generally need to flip a switch to make them go the opposite direction, since it's not possible to actively move around on them, for [[Insurmountable Waist Height Fence|some weird reason]].
* ''[[Mega Man (Video Game)|Mega Man]]'' series
Line 28:
* In ''[[The Legend of Zelda a Link To T He Past (Video Game)|The Legend of Zelda a Link To T He Past]]'', an incredibly annoying boss battle occurs on one.
* ''[[Super Mario Bros]]'' series:
** The final stage of ''[[Super Mario Bros 2 (Video Game)|Super Mario Bros 2]]'' consists almost ''entirely'' of series of conveyor belts (some [[Conveyor Belt O' Doom|Of Doom]], some not).
** A couple fortresses in ''[[Super Mario Bros 3 (Video Game)|Super Mario Bros 3]]'' feature them. They freeze when a POW switch is activated.
** ''[[New Super Mario Bros Wii (Video Game)|New Super Mario Bros Wii]]'' has several ground pieces that spin, and usually hide pipes from rushing players.
Line 34:
* ''[[Ratchet and Clank (Video Game)|Ratchet and Clank]]'' - Both [[Ratchet and Clank 2002 (Video Game)|the original]] and ''[[Ratchet and Clank Going Commando|Going Commando]]'' have movement sensitive conveyor belts. When Ratchet's moving on them they sense his direction and move to speed him on his way.
* [[Sonic the Hedgehog]]:
** The ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog CD (Video Game)|Sonic the Hedgehog CD]]'' level Quartz Quadrant contains conveyor belts that scroll with no particular rhyme or reason. There are places where adjacent belts scroll towards each other. The boss of that level makes full use of an [[Inconveniently
** ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog 2006 (Video Game)|Sonic 2006]]''. The only conveyor belts in the game switch direction for no particular reason, dropping whatever is unfortunate enough to be placed on them down a level-wide [[Bottomless Pit]].
** From ''[[Sonic 3D Blast]]'', the Gene Gadget stage is filled with these. Much like the Quartz Quadrant example above, that boss also utilizes one of these.
Line 77:
* Featured in the ''Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom'' game, as well as the ''Temple of Doom'' portion of ''[[Indiana Jones Greatest Adventures (Video Game)|Indiana Jones Greatest Adventures]]''.
* ''Keith Courage in Alpha Zones'' has conveyor belts all over the place in both parts of the last zone for no good reason.
* [[Down in The Dumps|Effluvia]] and [[The Very Definitely Final Dungeon|Telos]] in ''Adventures of Rad Gravity'' are full of these, especially the latter. The former also has a [[Conveyor Belt O' Doom]] you have to rescue your [[Robot Buddy]] from.
