The last boss you face in a game, usually representing the final climax of the game.
A line that signals the start or the end of the race. Even though it is used for racing, it could mean any type of racing game.
In games, fire can be an obstacle, a tool, a weapon, or a solution. Just don't play with it...unless you really want to.
Cold-blooded aquatic animals that have scales and breathe through gills.
Flattening is taking something three dimensional, and somehow making it very thin almost two dimensional. It can be used for comedic effect or a character to use it to fight through tight spaces.
Enemies that prefer to keep a distance to the ground, and swoop down occasionally to do some damage.
A type of stage themed around, or made entirely out of, food - often confectionery.
Sentient fungi. Typical forest creatures.
A character or a disembodied voice will say the name of the video game. Depending on the mood of the game, this could range from shouting the game's name to ominously whispering it.
These spooky entities are the spirits of the dead, returned from beyond their graves for generally sinister purposes. There's generally about even odds whether a particular ghost will be helpful or malevolent towards the living, but some ghosts just want to be left alone entirely.
When the player, compared to the adversary he/she is supposed to defeat, looks like a tiny inchworm.
Goombas are common enemies in the Mario games.
The ground pound is a move where a person in midair somehow makes themselves strike the ground with more force than if they had merely landed. Popularly known as the "butt stomp" due to Super Mario 64's variant, which appeared as though Mario was attacking foes with his rear end.
Hammer Bros. are a species of Koopa that throw hammers at plumbers.
Any game that involves jumping on an enemy's head as an attack, such as in Super Mario Bros.
A heads-up display is a graphical overlay of vital information used in most modern games.
A six sided geometrical shape sometimes used in strategy, puzzle, and board games.
In many games there is a ranking system, the players with the highest point value are listed in a "high score" table.
Frozen water. Ice can be slippery and it can be fun for ice skating.
The best way to make sure even the stupidest players know that certain people, places, terms, or concepts in a game are important is to highlight those words in the text with different coloured letters, or through the use of bold, italicized, or all-caps text.
It's arguably the one move that symbolizes the medium to those outside it. The ability to jump, be it onto a building, a platform, or a skull, is one of the all time most important abilities ever put in a video game.
A very common collection of enemies in the Super Mario Bros. franchise. Some famous Koopas include: Lakitu, Hammer Bro., Bowser Jr., and the King of Koopas himself, Bowser!!
One of Bowser's most common minions. They are protected by a hard shell.
The game is almost over and there are 5 turns left. The Mario Party franchise used this concept to give out the current scores and a new twist is added. This appears in all games (except Mario Party Advance and Mario Party-e).
Basically you're given a flashlight and then sent to a dark place.
The concept of affecting the universe through supernatural methods, breaking the fundamental laws of science.
These are often a departure from the conventional gameplay of a game. There have also been compilations; games including only minigames. The Mario Party series has a lot of minigames, too!
A small animal that digs tunnels and mostly feeds on earthworms. Its eyesight is weak, but the smell and the touch are strong
A mole that is featured in the Mario franchise.
Penalties to movement speed. How far/fast the player can walk. This may depend upon difficult terrain and what type of gear is being carried.
