In a video game, it's not uncommon to have levels high up in the air, but a good chunk of them are getting a [[DeadHorseTrope bit too cliche]]. [[LevelInTheClouds Level with solid water vapor?]] Been there. [[LevelsTakeFlight Level on a plane?]] Done that. How do we spice it up? By having it take place ''in a tornado,'' of course! Who cares if tornadoes are probably one of the most dangerous and common natural disasters? [[RuleOfCool It's cool]], it's surprising, and that's all that matters! Usually, you are told [[DoNotTouchTheFunnelCloud to not get near a tornado]], but here, you just jump right into a whirling adventure!

In reality, being able to survive a tornado, let alone the violent, strong winds that surround it from a ''mile radius'' would barely be possible, but [[ArtisticLicense not in this case.]] You simply have to find a way out of the whirlwind and you'll barely have a scratch done on you. Usually these types of levels have [[GustyGlade strong winds]], almost everything flying around and [[EverythingTryingToKillYou at you]], or said debris being [[FloatingContinent your main ways of navigating the twister]] to remind you that you're in a tornado.
