Changed line(s) 8,22 (click to see context) from:
In platform video games, completely inanimate objects in the ceiling seem to know when a player is approaching and fall down accordingly. And only the player because the scenery just doesn't care about the enemies somehow.
The most common offenders are:
* Stalactites
* [[SlippySlideyIceWorld Icicles]]
* {{Spikes|OfDoom}}
* [[FallingChandelierOfDoom Chandeliers]]
* [[PalmtreePanic Coconuts]]
* And sometimes a tile or an entire section of a ceiling.
Notice: In RealLife, falling icicles kill dozens of people each year, although it's the mass of the upper part of the icicle, not the pointy end that's lethal.
Subtrope of MalevolentArchitecture and part of EverythingIsTryingToKillYou. Note that this trope doesn't include non-inanimate enemies (like Thwomp in ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'' series) with that kind of behavior, nor does it include {{Death Trap}}s which look like they're deliberately made to do their thing.
See also CollapsingCeilingBoss, where a boss attacks by causing things to drop from the ceiling. For ''Stalagmite'' Spite - things that come from below instead of falling - see SpikesOfDoom.
