* Parodied in the retro design of Terry Giliiam's ''[[Brazil (film)|Brazil]]'', which had exposed ductwork everywhere. It even lampshaded the fact by having somebody advertise ducts on TV.

* ''[[Ratchet and Clank Up Your Arsenal]]'' has an (almost entirely optional) [[Absurdly Spacious Sewer]] section that fits this bill precisely. There are 98 "Sewer Crystals" to be found in this maze. It's hell if you're a completionist, as there's a skill point for getting all of them.
Line 36 ⟶ 32:
* You'll see one of these in ''[[Baldur's Gate]] II'' if you explore the Shadow Thief guildhouse proper. It's apparently used for training purposes.
* ''[[Purple]]'' has you going through pipe systems on occasions, they are not mazes and are usually just there as a connection to [[Down the Drain]].
* In [[BioShock (series)]] you need to complete a
