Basic Trope: The player must finish a mission in a finite amount of time, or they fail.
- Straight: One mission in the game is escaping the burning tower in minute or they fail it.
- Exaggerated:
- Every mission in the game has a set amount of time to complete.
- The time limit for escaping the tower is five seconds.
- Downplayed:
- Once the timer runner out, the player doesn't immediately lose the mission but start taking damage gradually from now on until they escape.
- The player only needs to escape a certain part of a tower in time, not the whole tower.
- Justified: The player will die from the fire if they don't escape quickly.
- Inverted: The player is attacked in the tower and must hold his position for a finite amount of time. If he manages to survive, the mission is won.
- Subverted: The player is given a mission of escaping the burning tower. Surprisingly, you got as much time as you want to escape.
- Double Subverted: …But in order to get the Gold rank, you need to escape the tower in a minute or less.
- Parodied: ???
- Zig-Zagged: ???
- Averted: There is no time limit.
- Enforced: ???
- Lampshaded: ???
- Invoked: ???
- Exploited: ???
- Defied: ???
- Discussed: ???

- Deconstructed: The timed mission clashes with the tone of the rest of the game and as a result, the gamers see it as That One Level.
