* UnderTheSea: ''Mad Monk's Revenge'' introduces a new world called the Reef World, which takes place in a cavern deep beneath the sea. Thankfully there's no swimming controls you have to fiddle with, but it does introduce liquid tiles which will instantly kill you if Jake falls into it. It is worth noting that liquid tiles can be filled with the pickaxe item, which then turns it into a regular turf tile.

''Lode Runner'' is a {{Puzzle Platformer}} created by American Douglas E. Smith in his dorm room. In it, the titular Lode Runner must collect every piece of gold before escaping a stage. Each level has a handful of enemy {{mooks}} trying to protect the gold by picking it up themselves and catching the Runner, but they can be trapped (and forced to drop what they're carrying) by pits instantly dug into the platforms using a special gun. These holes regenerate over time, which can defeat enemies (or the player character) if they don't manage to climb out.
The original game, released in 1983 for the UsefulNotes/AppleII by Creator/{{Broderbund|Software}}, consisted of 150 levels and was one of the first games to include a LevelEditor. A myriad of ports and remakes have been released ever since by companies such as Creator/{{Sierra}}, [[Creator/BandaiNamcoEntertainment Bandai,]] and Creator/HudsonSoft (mostly due to the [[UsefulNotes/NintendoEntertainmentSystem NES]] version being [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff a resounding success in Japan]]).

* UselessItem: In Lode Runner 2, there are these donut-shaped artifacts you can find in very specific levels of each world that are placed in visible, but very hard to reach places. Unfortunately nothing really happens when you collect them, but it's speculated that collecting them all would have unlocked secret worlds in the hub (see WhatCouldHaveBeen below).
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Lode Runner 2 has two entirely scrapped worlds that never made it to the full release: A Mall World, and an Alien World.

Incorrect, the reused enemy sprite is just the real-world explanation for the player character; the actual storyline for the original Famicom/NES game was indeed written as a prequel, and in addition to the ending sequence showing the robot's transformation into the human Lode Runner, the Japanese version even makes this completely clear-cut by directly introducing itself as the origin story of "the Runner from Lode Runner" right there in the game manual: http://randomhoohaas.flyingomelette.com/bomb/nes-1/ref.html

** Hudson Soft developed a video game in 1985 that serves as a direct prequel, showing the origin of the enemy character model as a humble little robot named VideoGame/{{Bomber Man}}. You may have heard of it.

It was all wrong. Bomberman is used as the enemy in the game, not the main character.
