Line 12:
Notice: In [[Real Life]], falling icicles kill dozens of people each year, although it's the mass of the upper part of the icicle, not the pointy end that's lethal.
Subtrope of [[Malevolent Architecture]] and part of [[Everything Is Trying to Kill You]]. Note that this trope doesn't include non-inanimate enemies (like Thwomp in [[Super Mario]] series) with that kind of behavior, nor does it include [[Death Trap
See also [[Collapsing Ceiling Boss]], where a boss attacks by causing things to drop from the ceiling.
Line 30:
* A version of this appears in first ''[[Harry Potter]]'' game (at least on the PC): Stalactites in the Fire Seed Cave fall when Harry approaches, but he can never be hit by them and they're necessary to proceed through the cave.
* ''[[Ice Climber]]'', though they won't appear on the level you choose to start on.
* ''[[I Wanna Be the Guy]]'', where [[Everything Is Trying to Kill You]], it's no surprise that almost any time you walk close enough to a nearby spike, apple (cherry?), etc., it may suddenly fly out and try to kill
** ''[[Indiana Rodent]]'' has falling fruit in a homage to [[I Wanna Be the Guy]].
* [[Jill of the Jungle]] features falling stalactites in several of its cave-themed levels.
Line 47:
* ''[[Panic Restaurant]]'' - Icicles in the penultimate ice fridge level.
* ''[[Prince of Persia]]'', in the level preceding the [[Final Boss]], has a bunch of ceiling tiles that fall into your path as if someone were running over them (as loose ceiling/floor tiles are otherwise not unusual).
* Various levels in ''[[Purple]]'' have malevolent hazards that fall when the player approaches; construction beams in stages
* ''[[Rick Dangerous]]''. While they only trigger on your proximity, they will also kill any enemies they happen to fall on.
* Spikes intentionally being dropped onto the player's head is an occasional ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' trap in levels:
** The lifting weights with spiked undersides in the Marble Zone (''[[Sonic the Hedgehog (video game)|Sonic the Hedgehog]] 1'').
** The Underground Zone of the Game Gear ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog 2]]'' features spikes that fall when you near them/pass under them.
** Ice Cap Zone from ''[[Sonic 3 and Knuckles|Sonic The Hedgehog 3]]'', though the fallen icicles can also be used as
** ''[[Sonic 3 and Knuckles|Sonic and Knuckles]]'': Stactites can be found in the Lava Reef Zone.
** Daytime Holoska stage in ''[[Sonic Unleashed]]'' has a few of those icicles.
