Mystery Land, a playable board from Mario Party 2, is a good example of an ancient ruins-themed area.
Stages, levels, or locations with an ancient ruins theme are areas usually associated with ruins. It is one of the many reoccurring themes in the Mario franchise.
Other Traits and Features[]
One of the main features of ancient ruins-themed stages is that they usually take place in an area filled with many ancient artifacts and hieroglyphics. Ancient ruins-themed stages also tend to take place either within a deep forest or jungle or in a desert area.
Being ancient ruins-themed, one of the common hazards of these stages are various types of traps that can be set off. These can include pitfall traps, spikes, and rolling boulders.
