* SuperDrowningSkills: There are river crossings in this game that serve as deathtraps if Dino Riki botches a jump. And on top of that, there are also small (but deep) puddles that will kill him just as well.
* TemporaryPlatform: There are big lilypads in the jungle levels which sink and float back up for a few seconds.
