Indirect Violence

It should be noted that in some games, especially within platform games, that player controlled characters can be injured or die by falling into holes or on spikes, a common obstacle in the Mario and Sonic franchises. Also, any game which features a "boss battle" mechanic where defeating an opponent involves virtualized combat, may involve less friendly imagery.

--Party games are usually non-violent, but may require parental review.
