A level that feels rather out of place in a video game, in that it goes against the theme of the game and even clashes with the established story and setting. Oftentimes these tend to be [[Secret Level|Secret Levels]], but sometimes, these are a normal part of the game, reachable through normal progression or level selection.
Line 14:
* The [[Secret Level]] of ''[[Batman Doom]]''. See its work page for a more detailed description.
* ''[[Wolfenstein 3D (Video Game)|Wolfenstein 3D]]'' has a [[Secret Level]] with the layout of a [[Pac-Man]] stage called "Wolf Pack", complete with ghosts that chase you, as seen [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZn9tX_yeKc here].
* ''[[Night Sky]]'': The vividly coloured "Slightly Nonsense", which is a stark, sunny contrast to the moody sunsets of the preceding worlds, and requires all of the [[Star -Shaped Coupon|secret stars]] to access.
* ''[[Portal 2 (Video Game)|Portal 2]]'' has a test chamber which has the word "TEST" written in enormous letters on a wall and is solved as easily as pushing a button. It's designed first to show that Wheatley has no idea how to design a decent test and also as a jab towards the kind of level uncreative users create when they first get their hands on a game's SDK.
* ''Abobo's Big Adventure'' has a level based on ''Urban Champion''. The champ's attempts to hurt you are ineffective, and he's a total pushover. It ends with a sequence direct from ''[[Mortal Kombat]]'' (a game that wasn't on the NES).
