Game Bog

[XCLBR]

The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap has Castor Wilds, replete with swampland to wade and sink into, which can be bypassed using the Pegasus Boots. Here's a video where Link gets submerged there, prior to obtaining said boots: https://youtu.be/rEYwrZOZEMU?t=385

The first level of Hard Corps: Uprising for the Xbox 360 and PS3 takes place in a desert area, where there are some quicksand pits located after defeating the first miniboss. Here is a video of someone playing as the DLC character Sayuri for this level: https://youtu.be/mknQ0Taa2iY?t=99

There is a bog obstacle in the PC game Neverend. If you try to cross it without learning the hidden path you will wade into deep mud and the character will say that she thinks she should turn back. If you still continue she is swallowed up by the quicksand and game over. I once upon a time had a screen capture of it. If I get a chance I'll see if I can find it.

I still have a WMV of that scene.

Some Castlevania bog/swamp areas for me to share:
Castlevania III, stage 4
Super Castlevania IV, stage 2
Castlevania Chronicles, stage 8
Castlevania Dracula X, stage 4' (My comment: this one has a whole lot of bottomless muck, which should have been implemented in the PCE version, IMO.)

Impressive finds! I heard of a few of them.

Legend of Valkyrie for the PC Engine, PS1, and arcades, has a large expanse of marshes, especially in the first level. This also holds true for the PS1 remake of the NES title Valkyrie no Bouken: Toki no Kagi Densetsu, included in Namco Anthology 2. Also note that the previously mentioned NES game contains some quicksand, which is triggered at arbitrary points in a section of the desert area containing blue X flags near it.

Super Metroid has a good amount of quicksand pits in the Maridia area. Though they aren't fatal, they may either serve as obstacles or a method to conceal some paths to the player. The video playthrough uses the Justin Bailey hack.

The indie ryona-themed game, Hanakanmuri Circle, has a short cutscene where the protagonist, Fia, gets trapped in a bottomless swamp, only to get freed by a bird named Doritto. In my opinion, the scene could use some improvement in terms of presentation.

I rather liked that.
