!Cogswell's Caper! contains examples of:

*AmusementParkOfDoom: Cosmo World (Stage 6) merges this with SpaceZone. There is low gravity normally that allows George higher jumps, but altering certain switches also makes gravity heavier, shortening his jumps and making platforming more difficult.

*BigBad: Mr. Cogswell, the CorruptCorporateExecutive who is running an illegal mining operation on Planet M38.

*DreamLand: A literal namesake is the fourth level where sleepwalking dudes and dreams come to life from monitors to attack George.
*EternalEngine: The Packing Factory is the first stage.
