* ''PrinceOfPersia : Sands of Time'' features [[TemporaryPlatform unstable-looking platforms]] that begin trembling the moment the Prince steps on them, and which fall into the abyss the moment he steps off. The trick is that they won't fall ''until'' the Prince steps off them; they exist to make the player feel he's just barely cheated death without actually making the game any more difficult. Crazy.

* In ''CrashBandicoot 2'', you normally want to keep a wide berth of green Nitro crates, as even grazing one will cause it to explode. However, halfway through level 20 ("Bee-having") is a pile of steel crates and Nitro crates arranged like a small staircase. These Nitro crates do not explode, and in fact climbing to the top step will warp you to a secret area with the Purple Gem, a necessary collectible to reach HundredPercentCompletion. The giveaway to this fake trap is that these particular Nitro crates do not wobble and bounce like all the others, implying that their contents are inert.
