* "[[Hansel and Gretel]]"
* In "[
* [[Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs (novel)|Snow White]] is abandoned in the forest.
* "[https://web.archive.org/web/20131214001257/http://www.surlalunefairytales.com/authors/grimms/3ourladyschild.html Our Lady's Child]" was abandoned in the forest for refusing to confess to having looked [[Forbidden Fruit|through the forbidden door]]; the king finds her there and falls in [[Love At First Sight]].
* [https://web.archive.org/web/20131129130936/http://www.surlalunefairytales.com/armlessmaiden/stories/onehandedgirl.html The One-handed Girl] hides from her brother in the forest; a prince finds her there and marries her. When her brother tracks her down and convinces the king and queen that she is a witch, she goes back; there she rescues a snake, gets back her hand, and receives a magical ring, with which she wins back her husband.
* In "[
* In "[[Brother and Sister]]", the title characters run off into the forest to escape their [[Wicked Stepmother]]. Because she is also a [[Wicked Witch]], she enchants the streams they come to and finally turns Brother into a deer. They live in the forest until the king finds her there and falls in [[Love At First Sight]].
* "Babes in the Wood". Sometimes combined with ''[[Robin Hood]]'' as a [[Pantomime]].
Line 126:
* Boggly Woods in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' is this area with a twist: the entire area looks like a monochromatic photo. The later Twilight Trail is dark and scary, though the ghosts don't show up until [[Big Boo's Haunt|later]].
** ''[[Paper Mario (franchise)|Paper Mario]]'' features Forever Forest as the setting for Chapter 3 up to the transition to Gusty Gulch. It ''is'' haunted, after a fashion, though the scary bits serve as hints more than haunts; and the enemy population consists of Fuzzies and Piranha Plants. Like in certain incarnations of Zelda's Lost Woods, going the wrong way just takes you back to more familiar settings, so becoming irretrievably lost from Toad Town is not a concern, except for the critters...
* Wood Man's stage in ''[[
** [[Mega Man 6|Tomahawk Man]]'s stage in ''[[Rockman 6: Unique Harassment]]'', Planting Domain, takes place in a lush forest. Mega Man starts off in the on top before descending into the darkness to face off against Doc Robot with [[Mega Man 9|Magma Man's]] powers. Afterwards, Mega Man has to climb back up to ground level, so he can face off against Tomahawk Man.
* Gaoracchia Forest from ''[[Tales of Symphonia]]''
** [[Tales (series)]] likes this trope, and it appears in almost every, if not every, installment. ''[[Tales of Symphonia]]'' even has TWO: besides Gaoracchia is Torent Forest, which while not as dark or creepy does require you to follow a specific path or you'll just end up wandering around indefinitely.
Line 164 ⟶ 165:
** Well, both of the 'forests' are like a mix between forest and hill zone, with big open sunny skies and the general upbeatness. Gusty Garden seems more like a hill zone, too. At least it's not Evil Garden or some such.
** Tall Trunk Galaxy from [[Super Mario Galaxy 2|the sequel]] is actually a more straight example of this, in which there are various planets either shaped like trees, logs, and even a giant slide much akin to the one seen in ''[[Super Mario 64]]''.
* Forest Maze from ''[[Super Mario RPG]]'', the Chucklehuck Woods from ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'', Toadwood Forest from ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners In Time]]'',
* Several stratums in ''[[Etrian Odyssey]]'' are entirely this.
* Wiese Forest (Chapter 3) in ''[[Riviera: The Promised Land]]'' has an area like this. Cierra leads you in this direction, thinking it's a shortcut to the next area, only to have Serene berate her for getting lost. Furthermore, you have to navigate through ''two'' different sequences to get out.
