Line 4:

Space, as presented in video games, comes in two varieties:

* The [[Shoot Em Ups|Shoot Em Up]] version of space, in which you can only go in one direction, possibly thanks to [[2-D Space]] ~~-- which~~ by a crazy coincidence happens to be the direction [[Everything Trying to Kill You|swarming with enemies]].

* The [[Shoot Em Ups|Shoot Em Up]] version of space, in which you can only go in one direction, possibly thanks to [[2-D Space]]—which by a crazy coincidence happens to be the direction [[Everything Trying to Kill You|swarming with enemies]].

* The platformer version of ~~space -- which~~ is basically like every other platformer stage, except that you might jump a little higher due to [[Gravity Screw|lessened gravity]]. It may take place in a space station, [[Asteroid Thicket|densely-packed asteroids]] or on an planet or moon surface where the atmosphere is missing.

Needless to say, [[Space Does Not Work That Way]].

Line 15:

* ''[[Gradius]]'', ''[[R-Type]]'', and all their variants and spinoffs. Special mention to the Genesis title ''Whip Rush''. Several levels feature segments where your titular starship flies up, down, and even ''backwards'', all while obediently facing and shooting to the right. It requires getting either missile or flamethrower powerups to be able to shoot in the direction you're going.

* ''[[Super Mario]]''

** The entire basis of ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. Space Junk Galaxy is probably the most straight version of this out of the main fifteen levels.
