A game, most commonly videos games, that is so ridiculously difficult that it would be considered a kaizo game. The difference between the simple kaizo genre and a kaizo trap, is that a kaizo trap puts the player into a position where after struggling for a good half an hour to reach a point in which they think they are safe, a random quick kill obstacle, enemy, or otherwise is put in as a trick to kill the player for letting their guard down.
Finally, I'm at a safe point! For the love of everything holy, it took me, like, 2 hours to-*the player's avatar is killed by a sudden falling spike*- GOD DAMN IT! This is the third kaizo trap this game has thrown at me! Can I relax for one second?

A "trap" that can cause the player to die after completing a level, thereby forcing them to do it all over again. It's usually caused by flaws in design, although it can be intentional.
Named for a level in Kaizo Mario World where the player must active a P-Switch before hitting the goal, or Mario will walk off into a pit of lava and die, negating the victory.
