Lift of Doom: Difference between revisions

 

Not to be confused with the ''[[MythBusters]]'' "Elevator Of Doom" episode, or the [[Hellevator]].

 

* The second battle against Black in ''[[Gunstar Heroes]]'' takes place on one of these.

* The ''[[God of War (series)|God of War]]'' games are fond of this, though there's no platforms to crush you. You just need to kill the enemies in time.

 

 

* One of the enemies in the Subspace Emissary story mode of ''[[Super Smash Bros.]] Brawl'' actually uses this as an attack, looking something like a hostile flying carpet and lifting you off the screen to instant death if you weren't careful. Thankfully, it's easy to avoid and/or destroy.

** There's also a more traditional example in another part of the story mode. As the lift travels down, you must evade Primids and spikes jutting out from the walls.

 

 

* In the level "Defend This!" of the original ''[[Marathon Trilogy|Marathon]]'', there is a trash compactor-style Lift of Doom room, where the only way out is through an invisible door. Another one appears in "No Artificial Colors". Sometimes the player is required to traverse these to access optional items, such as the gauntlet of Lifts of Doom (not the lift puzzle) in "Colony Ship for Sale", and the "wave" in "Cool Fusion".

* Variation at the beginning of ''[[Half Life]] 2:Episode One''. Alyx and Gordon are on an elevator and debris is falling down. The goal isn't to dodge, as the debris will destroy the elevator, and both will plummet to their deaths, but to grab the objects and throw them away from the elevator.

 

 

* The level Castle Crush from ''[[Donkey Kong Country]] 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' is probably a well-known instances of this trope.

* A section of Boomer Kuwanger's stage from ''[[Mega Man X]]'' featured a rising elevator with these properties.
