History Main / ContainerMaze

* In the ''WesternAnimation/{{Bonkers}}'' video game for the UsefulNotes/SegaGenesis, [[MisterBig Mr. Big's]] stage takes place in a warehouse filled with crates, which are scattered out like a maze. Mr. Big has hidden [[TimedMission a bomb set to explode in the warehouse]], and in order to defuse it, Bonkers must find the pieces of Fall-Apart Rabbit in various crates and put them together so Fall-Apart can defuse the bomb. As the levels progress, Mr. Big's mouse henchmen will navigate the warehouse to try to get Bonkers, so Bonkers must take them out by pushing crates at them.

** Map 11 of ''TNT: Evilution'' is largely one big crate maze.

* Used several times in [[Series/Grimm]]; given that it is set in Portland, this is unsuprising.

* ''WesternAnimation/GeneratorRex'' in his fight against Cane.

* ''Film/TheATeam'' climax occurs a dock loaded with containers, as part of an elaborate ShellGame.

--> '''Tom Servo:''' Joe, I'm in one of these boxes. Find me!
* ''Film/{{Welcome to the Punch}}'' (2013). A clue written on the hand of a murdered witness is Punch 119, [[spoiler:the number of a shipping container in a massive container yard where the final denouement/shootout takes place.]]

* The second level of episode two of ''VideoGame/{{Doom}}'', "Containment Area", has a rather famous crate maze filled with imps.

[[AC:WesternAnimation]]

** Doom does it for performance reasons, and other games probably do too. The main area of Containment Area is one of the biggest in the game, but the floor-to-ceiling crates keep the draw distances from getting higher than the engine can handle — not to mention keeping all the enemies from swarming you at once.

->'''Callie:''' Making use of the containers here is crucial!
->'''Marie:''' What's in those containers anyway? Maybe...CANDY?!

* ''VideoGame/VampireTheMasqueradeBloodlines'' has a small one on the Elizabeth Dane GhostShip. It's a StealthBasedMission: the challenge is to investigate a suspicious shipment without being spotted by police officers, which would threaten the {{Masquerade}}.

* ''Series/DoctorWho'', "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E3PlanetOfTheOod Planet of the Ood]]".

* ''ThisIslandEarth'' isn't an example, but the ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'' crew treat it like it is:

* In the Brazillian film ''Film/TheEliteSquad'', a container maze is used to train candidates for operations in the narrow streets of Rio's slums.

* ''Series/DoctorWho'', "Planet of the Ood".

* The ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'' GameMod ''BuildCraft''. You can't walk through pipes, and they ''will'' get in your way.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheBatman'' had one where ThePenguin takes control of Manbat.

* Lots of the levels in ''VideoGame/{{Half-Life 1}}'' (and its expansions) are this trope. Warehouses full of crates, yards full of shipping containers... ''VideoGame/{{Half-Life 2}}'' has at least one.

* ''{{Primeval}}'' episode 4.2, involving an extended face-off with a prehistoric crocodile.

* The {{Minecraft}} GameMod ''BuildCraft''. You can't walk through pipes, and they ''will'' get in your way.
