Concepts

Bonus Stage

Bonus levels, rounds, or stages give players a chance to gain extra points, powerups, or lives. Occasionally bonus stages will play completely different than the rest of the game, like as a slot machine or pinball minigame.
Final Boss

The last boss you face in a game, usually representing the final climax of the game.
Gravity

Gravity is a physical phenomenon, specifically the mutual attraction between all objects in the universe. In a gaming setting, gravity determines the relationship between the player and the "ground," preventing the player or game objects from flying off into space, and hopefully acting in a predictable/realistic manner.
Maze

Ever since Pac-Man, games have had us navigating mazes.
Password

Passwords are codes used to save a player's progress, primarily during the 8-bit era and, to a lesser extent, the 16-bit era.
Planet Jumping

A form of level transition, mainly used in the early 90's. The act of travelling from one planet to another.
PlayChoice-10

The PlayChoice-10 was an arcade console released by Nintendo containing ten Nintendo Entertainment System games per unit.
Shopping

No point in gathering coins, gold, gil, money, or whatever if you can't buy anything with it.
Smart Bomb

A super weapon, often found in scrolling/rail shooters which destroys all enemies on screen instantly.
Treasure Hoarding

Sometimes it's hard to resist the urge to accumulate a vast amount of valuables.
Underwater Gameplay

There are lots of things to do underwater, from exploration to combat. Early games tended to treat water as slower moving blue air, but with advances in technology we're seeing an increasing number of options for underwater action.
Upgradeable Vehicles

The ability, through purchasing, winning, unlocking, or other means, to change your vehicle (usually for the better). Changes can be alterations to original vehicle or a completely new vehicle.
Warp Zone

Used in Super Mario Bros. via the pipe system. Warp Zones became popularized on the NES/SNES.
Warping

Warping allows the player to take a shortcut, bypassing part of a game.
