Also, most characteristics particularly common to action genre can be found within many other genres. Most common types of games in which action genres characteristics are present:
- Platform – game character interacts with various platforms within a game, usually running, jumping, or falling throughout the gameplay. Super Mario Bros is one of the most known examples.
