Stages... with Conveyor Belts!

[Ascending Wordsmith]

Remember when games had conveyor belts in'em? Hell, just about every platformer had one (or twenty). One would send you right, the next one takes you left. And in many cases, the belts usually led to a pit or bed of spikes.

Metal Man's stage in Mega Man 2 is one I'm quite fond of. The belts would actually switch directions on you in some places.



Are there any memorable stages you can conjure up that featured conveyor belts?

Batman for NES, Axis Chemical stage before the machine boss:

[Kroogah]

The last level of Chip & Dale: Rescue Rangers on the NES jumps to mind, as it's the only part of the game that still holds a challenge!

[cyberfluxor]

Shinobi 3, the area where you go against the mutant blob boss thing. The factory levels are pure fun.

Party Mix, Pressure Cooker, Piece o' Cake, Cakewalk on VCS, excellent titles.

[Jorpho]

There are a lot of big fans of Lucasarts' Night Shift.

The Incredible Machine also comes to mind. And how about some of the last levels of SMB3, like the World 8 fortress?

[Push Upstairs]

Level 6 in "Streets of Rage" has some.

There is even one part where one is going to the left and one is going to the right with allows you to quickly walk up to some baddie and kick thier ass.

SOR3 also includes a stage with belts, level 7 B (when you go to the factory and end up fighting the robot boss).

Sounds like several of the stages in Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2!

I would think the most memorable one would be one of the originals

Yeah this level gave me hell when I was a little kid. I did not have the skills to time jumps and dodge the falling spike things so I was S.O.L. This is the only game I can think of that had conveyor belts for the NES, but I believe there were games that had conveyor belt type systems. For example in one of the Sonic games the waterfalls act very similar to conveyor belts. I just dont remember which Sonic it was....OH well

[cyberfluxor]

Well in Sonic 2 for the GameGear they had the mech levels with belts and gears all over the place. And continuing with the GG, in Shinobi the Yellow ninja could walk on water and in most water levels it was flowing, somewhat like a belt. Of course if you weren't playing as yellow you were screwed and drowned.

[NickmasterX]

Bomberman and Donkey Kong '94 come to mind :-) as well as the original DK.

[jajaja]

Double Dragon 1,2 (not 100% sure about this) and 3.

[NE146]

Darn lack of an edit button

[Gapporin]

Obligatory Zillion reference.

[Steven]

The Bomberman games, though not platformers, made excellent usage of conveyor belts. BM clone Spark World also represents it well

[7th lutz]

Journey to Sillus-nes
Bomberman Tournment-GBA

I just got to the conveyor belt stage in mario 64 last night. however they provide me with no problem because I know to jump into the clock at 12 sharp.

[Slate]

Scooby Doo Night Of 100 Frights had some Very fast moving conveyor belts.

[boatofcar]

Yep! I can fly through the rest of the game but that part is pretty tough.

Although it wasnt too much of a chaleenge, I recall Flame Mamoth's stage in Mega Man X. Conveyor belts and smasher-things, the classic combo.
