* In the fourth chapter of ''[[Tales of Monkey Island]]'', Guybrush has to follow a set of steps to prepare a Voodoo recipe called the "Feast of the senses", to feed La Esponja Grande and make it grow. In the next episode he has to follow similar steps but backwards to make the Esponja shrink, as Lechuck had stolen it and was using to steal the Voodoo energies of the Crossroads.

* ''[[VVVVVV]]'' has a shiny trinket that you cannot access because of an [[Insurmountable Waist High Fence]]. To get to the other side, the player has to navigate through 6 different screens filled with spiky death... twice.

* The final game in the ''[[Bit.Trip]]'' saga, ''BIT.TRIP FLUX'', is basically ''BIT.TRIP BEAT'' played from right-to-left instead of left-to-right.

* [[That One Level|Cold Hard Crash]] from [[Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back]] takes this concept [[Up to Eleven]] to the point of almost cruelty. To get [[One Hundred Percent Completion|100% completion]] of the game Crash must break every box in the current level he is in and collect a gem that only appears when he does so. To get all the boxes in this level you have to play through the first half without dying to activate and reach the death course, a difficult, checkpoint-free path covered in crusher traps and nitro mines, almost entirely on [[Slippy-Slidey Ice World|slippery ice]]. When you reach the end of the death course, you need to activate a switch and do the course BACKWARDS to get the new crate the switch spawns at the beginning of the level, at which point you take the platform back to the main level and complete it.

* A variant happens in ''[[Castlevania: Symphony of the Night]]''; After fighting his way to Dracula's throne room, Alucard (some irony there that he's the protagonist, given his name) finds not Dracula, but his brainwashed ally Richter. After defeating and curing him, he has to go through a ''second'' castle that is the same as the one he went through, only ''upside-down''.
