    Placing items just out of reach is a simple way for game designers to hint that there's much more to the map, or to the game, than the player can see at the moment. The right item placement will stick in the player's mind, and will encourage them to seek out new paths, secrets, and abilities to finally gather up that alluring item. Such item placements are staples in the Metroidvania genre.
