* [[Platform Hell]]: One of the earliest examples of this.
* [[Press Start to Game Over]]: In the second game, the toilet you start next to is a [[Death Trap]].

** And don't forget the Emergency Power Generator, which consists of [[Pink Floyd|a flying pig above a miniature indoor Battersea Power Station]].
** And in ''JSW2'', you can fly a rocket into space. Complete the Cartography Room, and you'll note that the rooms making up the space area form a shape that looks suspiciously like the [[Star Trek|Enterprise]].

* [[Urban Legend of Zelda]]: ''Jet Set Willy'' was beset by rumours that you could sail the ship (the rooms "The Bow" and "The Yacht") to an island. The programmers put this feature in, as noted above, in the sequel.
