10 More Video Games That Rewarded You For Being An Idiot

10. Letting Yourself Be Swallowed By Quicksand - Super Mario Odyssey

Quicksand in video games or really any entertainment media generally only means one thing - a quick and horrible drowning death.

The Mario franchise is certainly no different, as jumping onto quicksand and standing in the same spot for long will most often result in your speedy demise.

But Super Mario Odyssey is no regular Mario game, and actually rewards players who allow themselves to be consumed by the quicksand in the Sand Kingdom.

Near the Tostarena Ruins Sand Pillar checkpoint, players can find a section of the wall with a small gap between the brickwork and the flowing quicksand.

Allow yourself to be "drowned" by the quicksand here and you'll be able to emerge safely in a secret room on the other side.

For your near-suicidal efforts you'll find a Power Moon waiting for you in the room's sand-free confines, as well as a warp pipe to safely spit you back out onto the sands.
