ITT: Game levels or game parts that in your opinion belong to a different game.

For example, Aladdin's (Genesis) "Inside the Lamp" level is basically an Earthworm Jim level. The same people worked on the games, but you got the feel this level clearly inspired creating EWJ.

That's because all of Dave Perry's games have the same terrible design.

Some Shadow Warrior levels felt like scraps from Duke Nukem. Like Auto Maul or Water Torture.

The ending of Half Life feels like another game.

Talking about Earthworm Jim, 2 isn't a coherent game, but a mix of various others. I mean The Flying King, Inflated Head, Puppy Love are all totally different games.

It's considered good game design to change things up.

Doom's episode 1 felt like a proper game, then episode 2 and 3 felt like some fanmade hacks.

Mario64 level, dire dire docks had a concept quality about it. It never really fitted right with the other levels in my opinion. Always felt like a rayman level of something

The final level of NES Contra 1 is better off in a game Set in the Alien universe. Also, Doom 2's area with SS soldiers and the Black Hole level in Star Fox 1.

The second half of Perfect Dark with the aliens would be better off as it's own game.

Toy Story is a different game in each level, only a few of them are traditional side-scrollers. it's a bit similar to the Earthworm Jim games.

The second episode of Duke Nukem 3D felt really out of space compared to Episodes 1 and 3

This part in Streets Of Rage 2 seems like it would fit better in a different game

The Hoth level in Shadows Of The Empire felt more like a tech demo or a prototype for a different game than the rest of the game

And that game was Rogue Squadron.
The last level of SotE also felt like Star Wars Arcade.
