Deadly Gas is used in many games as an obstacle and usually causes the player's health to degenerate over time.

Levels whose visual design represents objects or symbols (including text).

Those creatures that go 'baa' and grow wool on their backs.
Sudden Death occurs when two or more players/teams have the same score at the end of the game. It can also be a penalty that activates when a player of match is taking too long. The players will then have to get rid of each other in a hurry.
The act of traversing space while attached to a piece game geometry. Sometimes via a rope, or other grapple like object.
