Add various things like coins for the user to collect in your levels.
Add special items that will enhance the player's attributes for a short time.
Use doors as an alternative to triggers in ending levels and changing areas.
Place ladders that the player can climb.
Allow the player to grab ledges it is falling past and climb up them.
Create platforms that move around and carry the player with them.
Implement a pathing system that can be used to direct the camera, enemies, or moving platforms.
Add timers to countdown certain events or keep track of the length spent on a certain task.
Create checkpoints to spawn the player from when it dies instead of forcing them to start the level completely over.
Allow the player to crouch and move around while crouching. This will also update the collision box, making the player shorter.
Add platforms that allow the player to jump through underneath but land on top.
Place tiles that the player can break in a Mario-like fashion.
