Electro Tile
Electro Tiles (also referred to as "Electros") are a type of tile present in every game in the Classic Trilogy. They have the appearance of standard floor tiles, but an electrical current will sometimes run through them for roughly 40 frames (two-thirds of a second) in the original releases of the Classic Trilogy. When an electric current is active, any object, Stinker, or enemy on the tile will be destroyed with the exception of UFOs due to their ability to hover above the ground. When an Electro Tile is inactive, the electric pattern is visible underneath the tile if there is Empty Space next to it. Electro Tiles have four different variations each with differently-lengthed inactivity periods. In the original releases of the Classic Trilogy, speed 1 has an inactivity period of around 40 frames (two-thirds of a second), speed 2 has an inactivity period of around 80 frames (around 1.333 seconds), speed 3 has an inactivity period of around 120 frames (2 seconds), and speed 4 has an inactivity period of around 160 frames (around 2.667 seconds).
Trivia
- If a Stinker walks into a Rainbow Gate on an active Electro Tile, it can potentially result in a Win and Die scenario.
