This category is confusing

Currently, this category is very confusing. The description implies that this category is specifically for "dungeons" in video game terms; an enclosed complex area, not necessarily underground, that is usually filled with enemies and serves as the climax of the game or a section of it, like in a Zelda game (e.g. X-Naut Fortress and Shroob Castle). However, some pages seem to have been added to this category for being literal dungeons (e.g. Hazy Maze Cave, Koopa's Tower, and Damp Dungeon). This should probably be addressed, but I'm not sure what the best approach is. This category could be split into two of course (one for literal dungeons and one for Zelda-style dungeons), but I don't know how you could name them in a way that makes sense to a casual reader. I'm not even sure if it's worth having a category for Zelda-style dungeons, since what makes a location count as a "dungeon" in that sense is subjective. Is every castle level in Super Mario Bros. a dungeon because they're all climactic enclosed areas that end in a boss fight? Dive Rocket Launcher 22:38, March 17, 2026 (UTC)
