Trivia
- The bonus chambers of Portal: Still Alive feature an alternate version, which has red lines on the sides (instead of blue) and has a red cube with a skull in the center on the actual button part. This variation is only used for buttons which re spawn cubes, as this feature is never present in Portal's campaign.
