History Main / HailfirePeaks

** The trope is named after the stage of the same name in ''VideoGame/BanjoTooie'', which was one half LethalLavaLand, the other half SlippySlideyIceWorld. It's pretty reasonable given that fire (volcanoes) and ice (snow cover) are both associated with mountain terrain. For added difficulty, you get turned into a snowball in the Ice side, and then must return to the Fire side while in this form to accomplish an objective. The area has a separate boss for each side, Chili Billi (Fire side) and Chilly Willy (Ice side.) The level that follows it up, Cloud Cuckooland, combines BubblyClouds, LevelAte, the inside of a DeathMountain, and several other things.

** ''VideoGame/RaymanOrigins'' goes for broke in this department. Although the [[JungleJapes first area]] is straightforward, the Desert of Didgeridoos is a combination of BandLand, ShiftingSandLand, and GustyGlade; Sea of Serendipity is part UnderTheSea, part PalmtreePanic, part GangplankGalleon; Mystical Pique is a TempleOfDoom slash DeathMountain; Moody Clouds is EternalEngine and BubblyClouds; and Gourmand Land? That [[IncrediblyLamePun takes the cake]], by combing the classic Hailfire Peaks themes of LethalLavaLand and SlippySlideyIceWorld with LevelAte, along with PalmTreePanic and EternalEngine as cocktail umbrellas.

** Freeze Man's level combines BubblyClouds and SlippySlideyIceWorld.

** Desert Ruins in ''VideoGame/SonicLostWorld'' is part ShiftingSandLand and part LevelAte (in Zone 3). Frozen Factory is part SlippySlideyIceWorld and part EternalEngine (with some hints of CasinoPark, as seen in Zone 3), and Sky Road is part BubblyClouds and part CircusOfFear (mostly Zone 4).

*** ''VideoGame/SuperPaperMario'': The first level, Lineland, combines GreenHillZone, ShiftingSandLand, and TempleOfDoom. World 2 is BubblegloopSwamp, [[BigFancyCastle Big Fancy Mansion]], and DownTheDrain. World 3 is NostalgiaLevel (of the original ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros1.'') featuring a sequence of UnderTheSea, TheLostWoods / WorldTree, and BigFancyCastle, World 4 is SpaceZone / WackyLand with GravityScrew and makes a pitstop on a moon, World 5 is {{Prehistoria}}, UndergroundLevel, MinecartMadness, and [[AbandonedLaboratory Not-So Abandoned Laboratory]] with a ''smidgeon'' of BigFancyCastle, World 6 takes a departure from that and is just {{Wutai}} [[spoiler:until the Void eats it and it becomes part that for most of the game (it then becomes a BonusDungeon)]], and World 7 is PlanetHeck / BleakLevel (An underworld inspired by the [[Myth/GreekMythology Greek Hades]]), ItsAllUpstairsFromHere / BlackOutBasement, and BubblyClouds / FluffyCloudHeaven. And even world 8, which is just one fixed location is TheVeryDefinitelyFinalDungeon / BigFancyCastle / OminousFloatingCastle / BleakLevel. Super Paper Mario LOVES this trope.

*** Mount Brrr loves this trope, being a mix of DeathMountain with SlippySlideyIceWorld, some [[UndergroundLevel cave zones]] around there, and BubblyClouds [[IncrediblyLamePun on top of it]].

** In ''VideoGame/NewerSuperMarioBrosWii'', Sky City combines BubblyClouds with gears that you're likely to see in an EternalEngine. Also, not too surprisingly, [[VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy Freezeflame]] Volcano is a [[LethalLavaLand volcano]] [[SlippySlideyIceWorld with a lot of ice in it]].

** [[spoiler: the Ashen World is [[Bleak Level a black-and-white world with a ruined castle, a deep chasm and a sinister monolith]], linked with [[FloatingContinent Sky Lands, a random assortment of flying islands and buildings.]]

* The ''VideoGame/YookaLaylee'' level, Galleon Galaxy, is set in [[GangplankGalleon a lagoon with tropical islands]], complete with a lighthouse. However, the level has a RaygunGothic theme where different islands are treated as different planets and the characters in the level all act as though they were living in [[SpaceZone deep space]]. Activities include jumping from asteroid to asteroid, turning into a "starship" that is really just an old timey galleon, and participating in an "intergalactic" war.
* The level "The Very Loooooooooong Cave" in ''VideoGame/YoshisIsland'' has lava at the bottom and ice at the top. The effect is stunning. There's also StalactiteSpite going on.
* ''VideoGame/{{Ys}}'': Multiple:
** In ''VideoGame/{{Ys}} II'', the [[LethalLavaLand Moat of Burnedbless]] immediately follows the [[SlippySlideyIceWorld Ice Ridge of Noltia]].
** Ilvern Ruins in ''VideoGame/{{Ys}} III'' is a TempleOfDoom in LethalLavaLand.
** Limewater Cave in ''VideoGame/{{Ys}} VI'' is two thirds UndergroundLevel, one third UnderTheSea.

** In the GameMod ''VideoGame/NewerSuperMarioBrosWii'', Sky City combines BubblyClouds with gears that you're likely to see in an EternalEngine. Also, not too surprisingly, [[VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy Freezeflame]] Volcano is a [[LethalLavaLand volcano]] [[SlippySlideyIceWorld with a lot of ice in it]].
** Its sequel, ''VideoGame/NewerSuperMarioBrosDS'', also has several worlds with this mechanic:

** The sequel, ''VideoGame/NewerSuperMarioBrosDS'', have several worlds with this mechanic:

*** Sherbet Dessert is a [[ShiftingSandLand desert]] that has [[SlippySlideyIceWorld been frozen over.]]
*** Spooky Path is naturally a BigBoosHaunt but it also has elements of BubblegloopSwamp.
*** The Abandoned Mines are a LethalLavaLand in a [[UndergroundLevel cave system]].

* ''VideoGame/WarioLand 4'' featured a level called "Fiery Cavern," which was a lava world until you hit the end-of-level switch (which acts as a LoadBearingBoss), at which point it freezes over.

* ''VideoGame/GoldenSun: The Lost Age'':

* ''VideoGame/MonsterHunterWorld: Iceborne'' has the Guiding Lands, an endgame WideOpenSandbox that combines all of the biomes in the New World ([[GreenHillZone Ancient Forest]], [[ShiftingSandLand Wildspire Waste]], [[UnderTheSea Coral Highlands]], [[BleakLevel Rotten Vale]], [[LethalLavaLand Elder's Recess]], and [[SlippySlideyIceWorld Hoarfrost Reach]]) in one area.

* The ''VideoGame/YookaLaylee'' level, Galleon Galaxy, is set in a lagoon with tropical islands. However, the level has a RaygunGothic theme, where different islands are treated as different planets, you jump around from asteroid to asteroid, and you turn into a "starship" that is really just an old timey galleon.

* While snow is usually not something that is associated with the tropics, it does snow there when it gets high enough, which can be strange for those not accustomed to that thing. The snow line is above 4,500 m, twice that of temperate places, but there are many tropical places higher than that threshold. The Andes from South America is a particularly famous example, with hundreds of perpetually white mountain peaks lying in the tropics [[https://photos.mongabay.com/11/peru_aerial_0119.jpg literally next door from the hot, sticky Amazon rainforest]]. In Africa, there are [[https://www.backtoafricasafaris.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/kilimanjaro-safari-zanzibar-beach.jpg Kilimanjaro]] and [[https://www.micato.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/mount-keyna-1.jpg Mount Kenya]].

* Although it is vanishingly rare, there have been several confirmed reports of snow falling on the Sahara, the latest one occurring on [[https://www.unilad.co.uk/news/snow-has-fallen-on-the-sahara-desert-in-extraordinary-photos/ 18 January 2021]]. This shouldn't be a surprise since the Sahara partly lies in the subtropics and was a verdant place until the Bronze Age.

* The first New World island the Straw Hats visit in ''Manga/OnePiece,'' Punk Hazard, is half-fire, half-ice. On one side, you have a sea of boiling red water, dragons, and volcanoes. On the other half, a mountain of ice and snow storms, separated from the fire half only by a large lake. [[spoiler:This formerly normal island was redecorated when [[AnIcePerson Aokiji]] and [[MagmaMan Akainu]] [[PersonOfMassDestruction fought there for ten days straight]] two years ago.]] Over the course of the arc, that lake in the center became ''poisonous''.

* ''{{ComicStrip/Dilbert}}'': One strip where the weather was getting to be particularly fierce involved Blizzards and Freezing Rain, but ''also'' deadly lava flows. [[EverythingTryingToKillYou As well as tsunamis, precision-guided ball lightning, and radiation-enlarged swarms of killer bees.]] And the PointyHairedBoss ''still'' wouldn't close the office!

* Poppy Land in ''Film/KingsmanTheGoldenCircle'' is ancient ruins in Cambodia converted into a 50's-era style town and containing a couple robots.

* In ''VideoGame/PokemonSwordAndShield'', this often occurs in the Wild Area, since each sector has its own randomly-generated weather pattern each day. It can be hailing or raining in one spot, and blisteringly sunny two steps away. Strangely, you can have bad visiblity in, for instance, a sandstorm, but can see straight through the area when just outside it.

* ''VideoGame/Prey2006'' largely takes place in a biomechanical spaceship that combines aspects of an EternalEngine and a WombLevel.

* [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Erebus Mount Erebus]] in Antarctica has a lava lake surrounded by snow and ice.
* Iceland -- most recently, the volcanic eruptions in Spring 2010 in a glacial area, providing some [[http://www.flickr.com/photos/yahooeditorspicks/galleries/72157623855495574/ stunning pictures]].

** ''VideoGame/Rayman2'' featured ''The Tomb of the Ancients'', which was a TempleOfDoom that doubled as a BigBoosHaunt. There was also ''The Land of the Livid Dead'' from ''VideoGame/Rayman3HoodlumHavoc'' which was also a BigBoosHaunt (although not in a way you'd expect) but had a few DownTheDrain sections. And one of the later levels was a DeathMountain, SlippySlideyIceWorld, EternalEngine, LethalLavaLand, and TempleOfDoom all in one.
