Stairs
To further advance in a dungeon, a player must find the stairs. On the last floor of most dungeons, it will take the team out of the dungeon. The stairs can go up or down, depending on if the player is to descend to the dungeon's basement floor or ascend to the top of it.
Warp Point
Warp Points are found at the last floor of some optional dungeons. It instantly warps the team out of the dungeon.
Wonder Tile
Varying numbers of these can be found on a floor, if the dungeon contains them at all. If there is a yellow arrow above the player's or partner's head (indicating a stat problem such as lowered defense, accuracy, etc.), stepping on one of these will restore the normal state. However, it also cancels stat increments of the Pokémon.
Rescue Point
Rescue Points are found when atempting friend rescues and appear at the same spot as the fainted Pokémon that are being rescued.
Carpet
If the player finds a Kecleon Shop, items are placed on these. The player may either buy or steal the items; however, thieves are confronted by many high-level Kecleon.
Training Switch
In certain dungeons, there is a chance that the team may encounter a Training Switch in a room. Stepping on a Training Switch gives the leader and their teammates the Trained status, which allows their moves to receive more points so their moves can be upgraded more easily.
Sparkling Floor
Sometimes, the player may find sparkling floor tiles in a room. Stepping on a sparkling floor will either make an enemy Pokémon appear, make the player pick up a Gold Bar or a rare item.
Traps are special dungeon tiles that cause negative effects. These tiles can make the team's Pokémon lose HP, PP, inflict status conditions, etc. These tiles will not affect enemy Pokémon unless spawned by a player's Trapper Orb. Issue #47 of Pokémon News claims that at least Pitfall Traps are appearing because of recent natural disasters.
In Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team, traps appear only after the player has completed the main story.
In Explorers of Time, Explorers of Darkness, Explorers of Sky, and WiiWare, some new traps have been introduced to reflect new moves in Generation IV, Toxic Spikes (created by using Toxic Spikes) and Stealth Rock (created by using Stealth Rock). Additionally, Explorers of Sky introduced two new, game-exclusive traps, which only appeared in a certain few dungeons in the game: the Grudge Trap and the Random Trap. Traps first appear in Amp Plains.
In Gates to Infinity, most of the same traps return from prior games; however, many traps in Gates to Infinity have been redesigned or renamed, and unlike the previous games, all of the traps break after being triggered. The first dungeon to have low-tier traps in them is Telluric Path, the high-tier traps start appearing in the dungeons that are unlocked after completing the main storyline.
In Super Mystery Dungeon, all the traps that appeared in Gates to Infinity return. All the traps' boarders have a slight change than they were in it's predecessor. And traps also appear more earlier in the game than it's predecessor and the low tier traps first appear in Glittering Mountain.

Explosion Trap
Similar to the Selfdestruct Trap, this trap explodes when stepped on and does damage to Pokémon within a 2-tile radius. It will take away half of the player's and allies' current HP, and does 80 damage to wild Pokémon. It also destroys items and walls within the radius. If a Pokémon with the Ability Drizzle or Damp is present on the floor, or if the current weather is Rain, the trap will have no effect. Fire-type Pokémon will only take half damage.
Grimy Trap
A random few Apples, Big Apples, Huge Apples, Gummis, or other edible food sources in the player's bag will be turned into Grimy Food. Grimy Food restores the player's Belly by 30, but inflicts a status condition. This trap has no effect on items in the bag when activated by allies.
Pokémon with a Survivalist IQ can sometimes bypass this side effect.
Grudge Trap
Warps all wild Pokémon around the Pokémon that triggered the trap and gives all wild Pokémon on the floor Grudge status. This usually results in all PP being drained away. This trap is exclusive to certain dungeons in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky, such as Destiny Tower and Inferno Cave.
Gust Trap
Sends the Pokémon that triggered the trap flying 10 squares in a random direction. If the Pokémon hits another Pokémon or a wall it will lose 5 HP (as will the other Pokémon in the former case), and if it lands on a tile that it cannot walk on, it will warp.

Hunger Trap

Mud Trap
Mud splashes up from this Trap, loweringRB/sharply loweringTDSBSL a random stat.
Pitfall Trap
If the player steps on it, it will inflict 5 HP damage and drop the team one floor below; and if it's the last floor of the dungeon, the dungeon will be cleared.

Pitfall Traps will only appear in dungeons that have stairs going down.
