Sokoban and Pocoman are two games that work the same way as these levels: the character must move objects onto squares, and then finishes the level when this is done. Therefore, the two terms are often used interchangeably. However, in particular, [[Chips on the Blocks]]'s first section is a direct copy of Pocoman's first level, which means it is usually called by that name.
Sokoban (1982) and Pocoman (1989) are two games that work the same way as these levels: the character must move objects onto squares, and then finishes the level when this is done. Therefore, the two terms are often used interchangeably. However, in particular, [[Chips on the Blocks]]'s first section is a direct copy of Pocoman's first level (which is Sokoban's second level), leading the Pocoman name to be in occasional use.

An additional, less formal reference to a Sokoban level is a ''block pushing level'', so principles of block pushing are frequently used. In Crazy and Crazy II, all of the Sokoban sections must be solved quickly to obtain all of the bonus flags; to solve these levels faster, certain rules of Sokoban levels must be applied. The rules of [[Rule of double bridges|double bridges]], [[Rule of turning bridges|turning bridges]], and the [[Block Donut Rule]] and [[Block Retrace Rule]] come in handy as techniques for many Sokoban levels.
