| - On the Staircase, you have to work up 4 steps to the goal. This floor is the exact same as Stairs (Expert Floor 47) from Super Monkey Ball, but this time, you get 60 seconds to finish instead of 30 seconds.
- The staircase refers to a wrought-iron circular staircase that was originally made by Mary and lead from the Parlor to the second floor artist studios at Lady Sally's Place. After Lady Sally's closed it was installed at Callahan's Place by Mary at the beginning of Callahan's Secret to provide easier access to the roof. The staircase was destroyed at the end of Callahan's Secret along with the rest of Callahan's Place.
- A basic straight staircase is one square wide, five squares long on the lower level, and four squares long on the upper level. These spaces must be left clear both above and below. The first square on the lower level and the fourth square on the upper level is reserved for the landing, and players may place a floor covering on these squares. The Sims 2: Open for Business, The Sims 2: Apartment Life and The Sims 3: Late Night allow players to add elevators to lots.
- When a player right-clicks a staircase they will usually be given three options based on whether they lead up as well as down: 'Climb', 'Climb-Up' and 'Climb-Down.' If a player chooses the climb-up or climb-down option their character will do just that, either progressing to the next floor or digressing to the floor below. If a player selects the 'Climb' option, or merely left-clicks the staircase, a message will appear. The message will ask the player to choose whether they wish to climb up or down the staircase. In the Columbarium, instead of saying "You walk up/down the stairs", it says "You tramp up/down the stairs."
- A staircase or stairway is represented by either a < or > character, depending on whether the stairs go up or down. A staircase will take you to another dungeon level above or below you. There are also other means of connecting levels: ladders and portals. While ladders mean no difference in use, portals are a magical connection and may be unusable. Staircases are commonly engraved upon, with either a note to the player reminding them of something of importance on the level, or with Elbereth, which the player can stand upon to safely fight an enemy that teleports to the upstairs during combat.

In the Columbarium, instead of saying "You walk up/down the stairs", it says "You tramp up/down the stairs." New players may find that the first staircases they use are those in Lumbridge Castle, in the north-west and south-west corners. They are used to access the upper stories of the castle, including the bank there. In Tutorial Island, when it returned after the new Lumbridge Tutorial was removed, a glitch occurred where most stairs could not be used, along with many other changes. Staircases bring characters up or down a level. Most of the time, you can see all or most levels using a Graphic Setting. If you climb the set of stairs on the first levelof the Heroes' Guild, you see an animation where your character actually climbs up the set of stairs.

The first square on the lower level and the fourth square on the upper level is reserved for the landing, and players may place a floor covering on these squares. The Sims: Unleashed, The Sims: Superstar, The Sims 2: Apartment Life and The Sims 3: Generations add spiral staircases. They have a 2x2 footprint on both levels, along with an extra square on each level that's reserved for the landing. This saves space, and allows players to add upper floors to smaller houses. The Sims 2: Open for Business, The Sims 2: Apartment Life and The Sims 3: Late Night allow players to add elevators to lots.
- A staircase or stairway is represented by either a < or > character, depending on whether the stairs go up or down. A staircase will take you to another dungeon level above or below you. There are also other means of connecting levels: ladders and portals. While ladders mean no difference in use, portals are a magical connection and may be unusable. Usually there are two staircases per level: one upstairs and one downstairs. Each staircase is accessible in both directions, except the one leading from the Valley of the Dead to the Castle level: there's no downstairs on the castle level, so do not accidentally block all the trapdoors! Staircases are commonly engraved upon, with either a note to the player reminding them of something of importance on the level, or with Elbereth, which the player can stand upon to safely fight an enemy that teleports to the upstairs during combat. On branching levels, there are additional staircases. These are the entrance level to the Gnomish Mines and to Sokoban with one additional staircase. In Gehennom, there are the levels containing the Wizard's Tower which have one or two additional ladders. The vibrating square is actually a hidden down staircase that can only be revealed by performing the invocation ritual. The bottom levels of the Gnomish Mines, Gehennom and the Quest as well as the top level of Sokoban only contain one staircase, obviously. One other staircase is very important, and that's the upstairs from level 1. If you don't possess the Amulet of Yendor and climb up these stairs, you escape from the dungeon and lose the game. If you carry the Amulet, you reach the Elemental Planes and start the End Game. In both cases, you can't return, and you are warned with the message "Beware, there will be no return!" Additionally, a theory has been proposed by Dogley, that staircases are wormholes going through the magical void between the levels and can be accessed by visiting level 4.5. For more information on this, see Dogley Dimension. Note that some monsters can follow you up and down stairs: demons, including demon lords and princes will do so. Even low-level demons like imps and homunculi will do so, and because they are also fast, they can be tricky to escape early on if you are not strong enough to fight them. Ghosts will also do so (although they are rarely very dangerous), as well as some other undead creatures. If you engrave Elbereth on the stairs, they cannot follow you.
