Chest Monster/Video Games: Difference between revisions

*** [[From Bad to Worse|And then Jafar comes along and conjures up a Barrel Centipede!]] What an asshole!

** ''[[Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep]]'' has 'Chest Spiders,' which are [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin]].

 

* [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] in the browser-based MMO ''[[Kingdom of Loathing]]'', where smashing a barrel in the Barrel Full of Barrels will sometimes result in a combat encounter with a mimic. The narrator even exclaims before the fight "What the? You thought these things could only mimic chests!"

** ''[[Mega Man and Bass]]'' has literal Treasure [[Chest Monster|Chest Monsters]], in Pirate Man's level. There are also legitimate chests containing the CDs needed for [[Hundred-Percent Completion]].

** ''[[Mega Man ZX]] Advent'' has the Vitaful, which looks like one of those capsules you pick up to fully replenish your health, only purple in coloration. They also stop flashing before they reveal their true nature, which happens when you get too close.

** ''[[Mega Man Legends]]'' had false treasure chests that would fire bombs at you when you opened them. Some even grew legs and started running! To add insult to injury one particular chest looked like it would be something you could money farm off of, it would stand up and generate a massive amount of refractor shards and dump them right in front of you...try to get them without the vacuum though and it would try to sucker shoot you with a single bomb!

 

* In certain levels of ''[[Super Mario Bros 3]]'' there are some mini-Goombas that hide underneath and look like normal blocks, until you get close, when they spring up and jump at you. In the NES version you can tell these blocks from the normal ones because they don't "shine". In ''All-Stars'', however, they are indistinguishable until you get close.
