History Main / BubblegloopSwamp

** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheMinishCap'': The Castor Wilds is a dense marshland which [[WalkOnWater requires the Pegasus Boots to avoid sinking]].

%%** Goponga Swamp in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaLinksAwakening''.

** ''VideoGame/SpyroTheDragon1998'': The Beast Makers homeworld is a large swamp bounded by pits of greenish much that will swallow Spyro if he falls in them.

* ''VideoGame/EtrianOdyssey IV'' has a MiniDungeon example with the Noisy Marsh, located in the Scarlet Pillars. It's a waterlogged area inhabited by frog-like F.O.E. monsters that move diagonally (a very rare sight in the series).

%%** ''VideoGame/BanjoKazooieGruntysRevenge'': Bad Magic Bayou.

** A biome created by the [[ProceduralGeneration world generator]] is this. It has flat terrain and shallow pools of water containing lily pads able to support your weight. Edible mushrooms are more common here, and trees are overgrown with vines hanging to the ground. [[BlobMonster Slimes]] and {{witch|Classic}}es can often be found here, and it's the only land biome that can spawn Drowned zombies.
** In the Pocket Edition, they can also be home to [[FungusHumongous huge mushrooms]] as tall as or taller than the trees.

** ''VideoGame/MonsterHunter3Tri'': The Flooded Forest is a rainy marshland that serves as home to several underwater monsters like Royal Ludroth, Gobul, Lagiacrus and Plesioth, and due to the water's impurity it's difficult to look at the surroundings while swimming. Subverted in ''Portable 3rd'', wherein the submerged parts of the forest have dried up due to the summer season. The Flooded Forest returns with a modern redesign in ''VideoGame/MonsterHunterRise''.

* The Swamp east of Youngtown in ''VideoGame/EarthBoundBeginnings''.
* Deep Darkness in ''Videogame/EarthBound1994'' is mostly swamp, with large pools of unavoidable GrimyWater.
* ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' has several examples:
** The Great Marsh in Pastoria and the route west of it in ''VideoGame/PokemonDiamondAndPearl'', full of patches of deep water for players to get stuck in, is the home of the [[DreadfulDragonfly giant dragonfly]] Yanma, the voracious [[PiranhaProblem piranha-like]] Carvanha, and a variety of other swamp wildlife. Good luck catching Croagunk and Carnivine. A bit of a ThatOneLevel because of your character's tendency to get stuck in deep mud and waste time trying to wiggle out of it.
** Several areas outside Icirrus City in ''VideoGame/PokemonBlackAndWhite'', including the aptly-named Moor of Icirrus, which [[SlippySlideyIceWorld freezes over]] in the winter.
** Laverre Nature Trail (Route 14) in ''VideoGame/PokemonXAndY'' features wetlands. Some deep areas of water have spots where you can get stuck. Look for [[BlobMonster Goomy]] here!
* Ozette Wetlands in ''VideoGame/PhantasyStarZero'' is this. The actual wetlands are either muddy or rigged with boardwalks to keep your feet (reasonably) dry. It's riddled with electric seals, frogs, giant birds which likely prey on the frogs (and all of them love human flesh equally), and a loli-lovin' octopus.

* ''VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountry'' has a few examples, like Krem Quay in ''VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountry2DiddysKongQuest''. ''VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountryTropicalFreeze'' starts off in an area called Lost Mangroves, which is a combination of this and PalmTreePanic.

** ''VideoGame/SuperMario3DWorld'': Piranha Creeper Creek, Deep Jungle Drift, and the latter's remixed form Deep-Black Jungle Drift. They are set in a murky swamp, complete with toxic purple water and moving wooden platforms.

* The Fungus Bogs in ''VideoGame/DeepRockGalactic'' are an entire network of underground swamp caves, overgrown with plants, vines, and large species of mushrooms. Terrain hazards include groups of mushrooms that spew noxious gasses and large areas of ground covered in sticky goo.

** The Phantasmal Bog in ''VideoGame/GoldenSunDarkDawn''. Instead of sinking in the mud, though, its gimmick is that you can freeze or evaporate the water in the swamp, effectively letting you switch it between this trope, the LostWoods, and a SlippySlideyIceWorld. The boss of the dungeon is a giant alligator.

%%** ''VideoGame/SpyroYearOfTheDragon'': Spooky Swamp.

* ''Quest For the Shaven Yak Starring [[WesternAnimation/TheRenAndStimpyShow Ren Hoek and Stimpy]]'' has The Stinking Wet Bayou, which serves as the third world of the game. Enemies include giant mosquitoes, snakes, frogs, flies, crabs, carnivorous plants, and fish that resemble Muddy Mudskipper. The boss of the world is a giant leech.

* ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog'', being a long-running video game franchise, naturally has examples of this. ''VideoGame/SonicHeroes'' has Lost Jungle, which picks up where [[JungleJapes Frog Forest]] left off. While Frog Forest took place high in the branches and on the tops of mushrooms that go a mile into the sky, Lost Jungle takes place at the forest floor, where it's a lot wetter. BottomlessPits are [[SuperDrowningSkills directly under the surface of the water]]. It's {{n|intendoHard}}ot [[ThatOneLevel easy]], unless you're playing with [[TastesLikeDiabetes Team Rose]]. It even has [[FurryConfusion giant frogs]] that summon rain (rain from the green frogs makes the plants grow, creating new paths, but rain from the black ones kills plants), and a [[EverythingTryingToKillYou giant alligator]] that chases you to the end.

* Deep Darkness in ''Videogame/EarthBound'' is mostly swamp, with large pools of unavoidable GrimyWater.

* In ''WebComic/YokokasQuest'', Yokoka and Yfa travel through a colourful swamp [[https://yokokasquest.com/comic/chapter-4-page-19/ in chapter 4]], where they meet Yfa's siblings Raya, Kaga, and Tomo, who are temporarily residing there.

** The Swamp in ''VideoGame/MonsterHunter2004'' (old, brought back in ''[[VideoGame/MonsterHunterFreedom2 Freedom Unite]]'' as the Old Jungle) and ''VideoGame/MonsterHunter2Dos'' (new, brought back in ''Generations'' as the Marshlands). In the old version, the muck is only ankle high in a few places at worst and never impedes movement, but poisonous gases flood certain sections at nighttime. In both versions. the cave areas are also very cold, so it's advised to consume a Hot Drink or have the Cold Resist skill to prevent the decay of the stamina meter.

* ''VideoGame/DarkSouls'' has the [[ThatOneLevel infamous]] Blighttown, which starts with a maze of precarious walkways and works its way down to a floor of thick poisonous muck, populated by persistent flies and goblins with toxic blowdarts, to say a few.

** The Swamp in ''VideoGame/MonsterHunter2004'' (old) and ''VideoGame/MonsterHunter2Dos'' (new, brought back in ''Generations'' as the Marshlands). In the old version, the muck is only ankle high in a few places at worst and never impedes movement, but poisonous gases flood certain sections at nighttime. In both versions. the cave areas are also very cold, so it's advised to consume a Hot Drink or have the Cold Resist skill to prevent the decay of the stamina meter.

** Portions of the Primal Forest in ''4/4U'' appear to be marshland, especially the outer plains and inner regions. An interesting variation occurs in that the poisonous muck ponds that appear in the innermost areas may not be naturally occurring [[spoiler:but are rather remnants of a long-dead Dalamadur's venomous bodily fluids]].

** VideoGame/SpyroTheDragon1998'': The Beast Makers homeworld is a large swamp bounded by pits of greenish much that will swallow Spyro if he falls in them.

* ''VideoGame/SpyroAHerosTail'': Crocovile Swamp, the second world, named for the hostile LizardFolk natives that serve as the most frequent enemies in the area. There's also Spooky Swamp in ''VideoGame/SpyroYearOfTheDragon'' and Beast Makers, a whole homeworld of swamp, in the [[VideoGame/SpyroTheDragon1998 first game]]. Honey Marsh in ''VideoGame/SpyroEnterTheDragonfly'' [[HailfirePeaks combines]] this trope with HornetHole.

** ''VideoGame/SuperMario3DWorld'': The levels Piranha Creeper Creek, Deep Jungle Drift and Gargantuan Grotto are set in a murky swamp, complete with toxic purple water and moving wooden platforms.

** The Flooded Forest, debuting in ''Tri'', combines this with JungleJapes; it is a rainy marshland that serves as home to several underwater monsters like Royal Ludroth, Gobul, Lagiacrus and Plesioth, and due to the water's impurity it's difficult to look at the surroundings while swimming. Subverted in ''Portable 3rd'', wherein the submerged parts of the forest have dried up due to the summer season. The Flooded Forest returns with a modern redesign in ''VideoGame/MonsterHunterRise''.

* ''VideoGame/{{Shantae}}'' has Mud Bog in ''VideoGame/Shantae2006'' and Mud Bog Island in ''VideoGame/ShantaeAndThePiratesCurse''. Both are dark, swampy places filled with [[MuckMonster Mud Bog creatures]] and various insects.

** The Swamp in ''VideoGame/MonsterHunter2004'' (old) and ''Monster Hunter 2'' (new, brought back in ''Generations'' as the Marshlands). The muck is only ankle high in a few places at worst and never impedes movement, but poisonous gases flood certain sections at nighttime. The cave areas are also very cold, so it's advised to consume a Hot Drink or have the Cold Resist skill to prevent the decay of the stamina meter.
