{{examples|Examples:}}
 
* The ''[[Mario Kart (Video Game)|Mario Kart]]'' games always have Mario Circuit, a beach level, Bowser's Castle, and Rainbow Road. Wario Stadium and a Donkey Kong track usually appear too.
* ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]'' games often have incarnations of the Lost Woods, even in the games that don't take place in Hyrule. Death Mountain, Lake Hylia, Kakariko Village, and the Gerudo Desert often appear too.
* The main ''[[Pokémon]]'' games always have a variation of Victory Road.
Line 12:
* In the ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' games, Green Hill Zone has appeared many times, in both older games and [[Nostalgia Level|newer games]].
** Actually, the series has a whole mess of levels that show up over and over again. Almost every game has a tropical zone, a casino/carnival zone, a lava zone, etc.
* In the ''[[Star Wars Expanded Universe]]'' games, Tatooine appears all the time, especially in the [[MMORPGMassively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game|MMORPGsMMORPG]]s.
** Hell, in the [[Star Wars Expanded Universe]], Tatooine appears all the time, even in places you wouldn't expect it. To wit, Tatooine has appeared in:
*** The [[X Wing Series]] (Gavin's from there. Also, the Rogues are invited to a party to honor the late Biggs Darklighter.)
Line 26:
** And the chapel, the entrance, the underground reservoir, the castle keep and throne room, the library...
