* ''VideoGame/MetroidDread'' uses this trope much more frequently than earlier ''Franchise/{{Metroid}}'' games; often, after the player finds the correct route to go, something will alter or change (such as a turnstyle moving, a floor breaking, or a hazard popping up) that prevents Samus from returning to a previous area until she's collected the necessary power-up to get past it. Atypically of a {{Metroidvania}}, this basically means that Samus is roughly able to explore the same amount of map after opening new areas. Even much later in the game, when Samus has collected most of her abilities, there are many spots that can't (or [[SequenceBreaking aren't supposed to]]) be reached until virtually the end of the game, after she has pretty much everything.
