* ''VideoGame/ChipsChallenge'' is a prime example makes use of color-coded keys and doors in many ways for this trope as well, purpose, with the player being required to collect a certain number of chips each level to get through the gate to the exit.exit. Two examples in particular stand out:
** Level 135 (''Trust Me'') requires Chip to find one yellow key to open the yellow door blocking the exit. The problem is that, while there are multiple keys, many of them are either tied to deadly traps or simply inaccessible; as a result, he has to navigate through the whole level to figure out which is the right key to collect. There's a glitch in the Microsoft version that allows an earlier key to be grabbed without consequence to finish the level more quickly, though.
** Level 137 (''Goldkey'') features many yellow keys as well as many yellow doors. The catch here is that certain doors have to be opened in a particular order, as going through either a wrong path or a certain area too ahead of time will render the level UnwinnableByDesign, forcing the player to restart it.

At the start of the minigame, the player grabs the key at the center and has to see which chest is opened with it, and that chest will have the key that opens one of the other four chests, then get the next key to see which of the remaining three chests opens up, and so on. The fifth chest opened guards the key that allows the player to open the exit door.
