[[File:JumperTwo-Train_3805Train 3805.png|link=Jumper (video game)|frame|Welcome to [[Orient Express]]. We're arriving at destination [[Take Your Time|any time now]]. For now, please enjoy [[Malevolent Architecture|luxurious travel]].]]
 
It's very common for our protagonists to find their way onto a train. After all, it's a prime location for adventure. You're stuck in a confined space, and you're unable to leave once the train is moving. You may have to show your ticket or passport, you may be held up by a bunch of robbers, you never know who you're going to meet, and nobody is ever ''completely'' sure if that strange-looking toilet door is correctly shut.
Line 23:
* One of the Doc Ock fights in the ''Spider-Man 2'' game took place on a train, and by proxy a portion of the film of the same name did as well.
* Sunset Park Act 3 from ''[[Sonic Triple Trouble]]''.
* ''[[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]]'' has three: you hitch a ride on a train and steal it's cargo, you're on a motorcycle keeping up alongside the train, the last is on on a jetpack flying around the train. There are [[Hundred-Percent100% Completion|side-missions]] where you can drive a train, but nothing interesting happens. At all. Unless you intentionally crash the thing.
* The ghostly train to the afterlife from ''[[Final Fantasy VI]]'', which is a boss in itself (and can be suplexed).
* ''[[Final Fantasy VII]]'':
Line 60:
* One level in ''[[Commandos]] 3'', where you're recovering some paintings.
* ''[[Shining Force]] III'' had a whole chapter about sneaking onto a train, people talking about trains, fighting in the train and then a big fight on top of the train for good measure. This was your standard medieval themed RPG so it makes sense it was such a big deal.
* The [[Temple of Doom|Egypt]] stage in the NES version of ''[[Strider Hiryu|Strider]]'' begins with a train ride to the pyramid in question.
* A mission in ''[[Zone of the Enders]]: the 2nd Runner'' involves chasing a train before it can deliver a deadly payload to the [[Redshirt Army]]. But since you have to ''destroy'' said train, it plays more like a [[Battleship Raid]].
* The second mission in ''[[Time Crisis]] 2''.
** As well as the last part of the second stage in ''Time Crisis 3''.
Line 71:
* Heather Mason has to fight through a train full of monsters in ''[[Silent Hill 3]]''.
* You find yourself amidst a [[Train Job]] in ''[[Red Dead Revolver]]'' while going to Brimstone.
* One of the [[Boss Battle|Boss Battles]]s in ''[[Banjo-Kazooie|Banjo-Tooie]]'' takes place on board Chuffy the locomotive.
* ''[[SnakesSnake's Revenge]]'' has this.
* The first level of Victoria's world in ''[[Little Big PlanetLittleBigPlanet]] 2'' takes place on a train.
* On level of "Rocket Knight Adventures" has your jetpack-wearing armor-clad laser-sword-wielding possum riding a little hand-car-thingie along the rails as he tries to catch up to the evil robot train with ray guns and clawed arms. Best boss ever.
* ''[[Dissidia Final Fantasy|Dissidia Duodecim]]'' has the Phantom Train from [[Final Fantasy VI]] as a level. The characters fight inside one of the cars and the seats are breakable. It's easily the most confined arena in the game, but it more or less works since the walls become partially transparent whenever doing otherwise would interfere with the camera.
* ''[[Shadows of the Empire]]'' has the Ord Mantell Junkyard level.
Line 84:
* ''[[Monster Tale]]'' has one of these levels.
* A non-video game example: Between Water 7 and Enies Lobby, the Straw Hats have some confrontations as they travel across the sea on the Sea Trains, the Puffing Tom and Rocketman.
* Grimrail Depot in ''[[World of Warcraft]]'', the ''Warlords of Draenor'' expansion. The depot is about to dispatch a munitions train is carrying a [[Wave Motion Gun]] capable of destroying Shattrath, and the players must board the train to sabotage it. Naturally, the Iron Horde is going to try their best to stop them...
