* SlowDoors: played with in ''infiltrating the airship''. When the BigBad is chased by Henry down a hallway, he tries to close the blast doors to escape. The trope is played straight in that the doors close one after the other rather than all at the same time, but averted in the speed with which they close; if Henry does not do something to speed up he will not make it past them.

[[caption-width-right:340:Henry Stickmin in “Stealing the Diamond”]]
The Henry Stickmin series is a series of WebGames created by Puffballs United, featuring the titular protagonist Henry Stickmin. The series currently consists of four games. In each game the player has to help Henry succeed in an assignment. To do so he can choose between multiple tools for Henry to use of actions to perform.
The games are:
* '''Breaking the bank''': Henry tries to break into a bank to rob the vault
* '''Escaping the prison''': after having been caught while robbing the bank, Henry now has to escape from jail.
* '''Stealing the diamond''': Henry tries to steal a large diamond from the museum.
* '''Infiltrating the airship''': Henry is recruited to infiltrate in the airship of a mighty criminal organization.
The games can be found [[http://www.stickpage.com/henrystickminseries.shtml here]]

!!Provides examples of:
* AttackBackfire: multiple examples. In ''Escaping the prison'', firing a rocket launcher will result in the rocket reflecting back at you. In ''Infiltrating the airship'', firing a laser cannon at the BigBad will result in Henry getting blown off the ship due to the backdraft.
* AwesomeButImpractical: many of the weapons and tools are pretty awesome, but they tend to backfire horribly.
* BlatantItemPlacement: no matter where he is, Henry always finds multiple objects he can use. Even objects you would not expect to find in that location.
* ChooseYourOwnAdventure: multiple times during the game the player is offered several choices, mostly about what kind of action Henry has to take or what object he has to use.
* CoolAirship: the airship you have to infiltrate in the fourth game.
* DodgeTheBullet: Henry does this in ''Escaping the prison''.
* FailureIsTheOnlyOption: In ''Breaking the bank'', every choice the player makes will eventually lead to failure. The other games avert the trope however; there are still plenty of ways you can fail, but they also have multiple ways of succeeding.
* JailBake: at the start of ''Escaping the prison'', Henry receives a cake that contains no less than six items, including a huge drill and a rocket launcer.
