* Krazoa Palace in ''StarFoxAdventures'' is this trope mixed with TempleOfDoom.

* The ''ChipandDaleRescueRangers'' NES game featured giant fans that blew you around in one particularly annoying level.

*** Pumpman's level in MM10 has underwater currents as well.

* The VentPhysics in ''{{Glider}} PRO'' easily leads to this with the presence of invisible air currents that can push up, down, left or right. "Sky Links" is a first-class example.

* In ''{{Purple}}'', the player can encounter blowing winds in World 5.

* ''SuperMarioBrosTheLostLevels'' does this, [[NintendoHard to the infuriation of many players]].

* One level in [[ShiftingSandLand World 2]] of ''NewSuperMarioBrosWii'' has strong winds, but it blows coins, too.

* ''SuperMarioGalaxy2'' is an inversion. There are winds in some levels, but they're there to help you by pushing your clouds along rather than impede you.
** Also "Gusty Garden Galaxy" from the first ''SuperMarioGalaxy'' game.

A videogame setting where the player's challenge is made more difficult by winds, air currents (visible or otherwise) that push the player around, interfering with their platforming skills. The winds may be localized to specific sections of the level, or may be stop and blow at intervals. Depending on the pattern, the player will have to [[AirAidedAcrobatics time their actions with favorable winds]] and/or push forward to compensate for hostile winds.

* ''LegendOfZelda'' has this all over the 3D games. Currents (especially circling ones) are a favorite in water levels, while giant fans often show up in wind temples.
** E.g. the Wind Temple in ''Wind Waker'', and the Forest Temple in ''Twilight Princess''.

* Several of the DynastyWarriors games add this element to the Yellow Turban Rebellion stage, as one of the enemy generals is supposedly a sorcerer with power over the winds. Depending on which game you play it's either push your way against the wind or choose the path with [[RocksFallEveryoneDies falling boulders]] and flank him.

You're getting closer to the end of your game. The player's shown he's mastered the basics, and you don't want to just keep providing the same old challenges. What do you do? Throw him around a bit!

This is about video game levels where a challenge is made more difficult by winds, or currents or whatever, pushing the player around, often forcing him either to time his actions, or to compensate for the push. The source could be an object in the level, an enemy or just Mother Nature getting in on the EverythingTryingToKillYou. Or [[AirAidedAcrobatics assisting you]]. Or both.

Not to be confused with a powerful wind that blocks the character's progress; that's just a BrokenBridge. Compare InconvenientlyPlacedConveyorBelt. May overlap with BubblyClouds or DeathMountain.

** As Donkey Kong Land 2 is largely based on Donkey Kong Country 2, it also features wind levels.

* Some levels in ''{{Kirby}}'s Adventure'' include winds, like the airship section in one level.

* [[MegaMan Air Man]]'s level does this. He does, too, actually.
** Other ''MegaMan'' examples: The rain in Toad Man's stage in the fourth game has this effect. This obstacle is repeated in Tornado Man's level in the ninth game.
