Haven City in Jak 3 has almost completely been taken over by enemies, but the layout of areas is the same as in the second game.. In Paper Mario the other side of the Crystal Palace looks like another world in the mirror, but while things on one side affects things on the other, it's not an alternate realm. Duplighosts are just messing with Mario. Get rid of them, and it becomes clear it's just a castle with near-perfect symmetry separated by a glass (or ice) wall. Luigi's Mansion had the Hidden Mansion, which, in the PAL version only, was a mirrored version of the Normal Mansion made more difficult. While the level design is good, some sections need to be traversed multiple times, especially if you're going for 100%, which can get old. (looking at you, Peppermint Palace)
Some areas, like Candy Constellation and Rainbow Route are pretzels that can't be laid out in a way that makes perfect sense. Super Mario 64 had Tiny-Huge Island, in which you could enter pipes and travel to the other world. Everything was exactly the same, save for size. The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past had the Dark World, where a puzzle required you to drain water from one world and use the fact it would fill the other. Pokémon Go’s alpha version of a mirrorworld has been embraced by hundreds of millions of players, in at least 153 countries. Niantic, the company that created Pokémon Go, was founded by John Hanke, who led the precursor to Google Earth. Today Niantic’s headquarters are housed on the second floor of the Ferry Building, along the piers in San Francisco. Wide floor-to-ceiling windows look out on the bay and to distant hills. The offices are overflowing with toys and puzzles, including an elaborate boat-themed escape room. A 3D game based on Phineas and Ferb The Movie: Across the 2nd Dimension has the playable characters going through two dimensions on each level.The Mirror World briefly appears as the setting for the final boss battle in Dededetour! in Kirby: Triple Deluxe. After defeating Shadow Dedede, King Dedede enters the Dimension Mirror, and fights Dark Meta Knight within the Mirror World. After winning the battle, King Dedede traps Dark Meta Knight in the Dimension Mirror and destroys it. Dark Meta Knight's battle in The True Arena is also set in the same area in the Mirror World. Control has a mirror in Synchronicity Lab that leads to a mirror version of this place. It also affects Jesse's dialogue, but not her inner monologues. She has to fight an evil version of herself and what they break in this world breaks in the real Lab too. The full blossoming of the mirrorworld is waiting for cheap, always-on wearable glasses. Speculation has been rising that one of the largest tech companies may be developing just such a product. Apple has been on an AR hiring spree and recently acquired a startup called Akonia Holographics that specializes in thin, transparent “smart glass” lenses. “Augmented reality is going to change everything,” Apple CEO Tim Cook said during an earnings call in late 2017. “I think it’s profound, and I think Apple is in a really unique position to lead in this area.”
The Caverns of Time in World of Warcraft are basically this trope mixed with Time Travel. You travel to past versions of some in-game zones and dungeons to witness major lore events. They are mostly an homage to earlier games in the Warcraft franchise, but the latest bunch added in a Cataclysm content patch are integral to the main plot. Augmented reality is the technology underpinning the mirrorworld; it is the awkward newborn that will grow into a giant. “Mirrorworlds immerse you without removing you from the space. You are still present, but on a different plane of reality. Think Frodo when he puts on the One Ring. Rather than cutting you off from the world, they form a new connection to it,” writes Keiichi Matsuda, former creative director for Leap Motion, a company that develops hand-gesture technology for AR. In DmC: Devil May Cry, most areas you move through in the "normal" Limbo City will transform into warped areas of the same environments in the "demonic" Limbo. At least once, the environment itself will be flipped 180 degrees, memorably in the approach to Bob Barbas' lair; the symbolism used for the transition depicts Dante moving to the other world through the mirror image reflected by the huge body of water.In a dream sequence by Shinji, the Mirror World was instead called the " Miracle World", a fact that confused even him. Its ruler was the Fake Kamen Rider Agito, who controlled the Mirror Monsters, and all Riders fought to protect humanity against them. The real Agito was also inexplicably able to join them. After defeating the Fake Agito, the Miracle World disappeared when Shinji woke up, Ren calling him out for talking nonsense when Shinji at first failed to realize it had been a dream.
The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask has the Stone Tower Temple, which you must flip from right-side up to upside down. Conditions in the "heads" version affect conditions in the "tails" version, and vice-versa. World 6 in Purple is a set of five (not including 6-6 and Final Destiny) stages replicating the looks of previous worlds with neons. Stage 6-1 is an almost exact copy of stage 1-1. Legacy of Kain: Defiance often had the two protagonists exploring the same locations while separated by five hundred years. The Spectral Realm may also qualify.

Hanke says that despite the many other new possibilities being opened up by AR, Niantic will continue to focus on games and maps as the best way to harness this new technology. Gaming is where technology goes to incubate: “If you can solve a problem for a gamer, you can solve it for everyone else,” Hanke adds. Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal has an actual Mirror cheat. Levels can be played as mirror images of themselves. The entire world in Dark Cloud 2. The world you enter by going through the red Time Gates is the same world you're already in, but 100 years in the future. Since so much time passes, the differences between the two can be...striking. My House: The entire map involves exploring multiple locations that, to varying degrees of subtlety, all seem to be variations of the same basic house template. A very literal version of this trope is accessed via the bathroom mirror, and is a completely inverted version of the house. A mirrored version of both Underhalls and the Gas Station can also be accessed from this area.
