History BigEater / VideoGames

** Also in HG/SS, School Kid Billy says that Jasmine is a big eater when he tells you that she hangs out at the Olivine Cafe on Wednesdays.

* [[http://2008.pumkin.com/ This]] obscure children's educational game called "PumkinLand" ("pumpkin" is intentionally misspelled) featured a mini game that is intended to teach children about different foods. The player plays as a diner worker and has to serve an anthropomorphic pumpkin who eats enough food to feed many people in one sitting. Not only does he eat a massive amount of food but he also eats condiments and cooking ingredients on their own (salt, pepper, jam, and butter) and if he orders a beverage or something that's served in a container, bowel, cup, or shaker; he will [[ExtremeOmnivore eat that with the food]]!

* Any game that features the PowerUpFood and HyperactiveMetabolism tropes. Finding whole turkeys or cakes inside those oil drums you just kicked? They'll be gone in a second, and you'll always be ready for more.

** Parodied by ''Dueling Analogs'' [[http://www.duelinganalogs.com/comic/2008/05/15/overeaters-anonymous/ here]], where [[{{Marvel}} Galactus]] and [[{{Transformers}} Unicron]] ([[PlanetEater yes, ''those'' guys]]) come together for an intervention to get Kirby to admit he has an eating disorder.

* Crono from ChronoTrigger can apparently drink around 13 bowls of prehistoric soup bigger that his head in 30 seconds. With [[MadeOfIron no repercussions]]!

** [[LittleBitBeastly Mak]][[MsFanservice oto]] is heavily implied, if not outright stated, to be this. Her introduction in ''BlazBlue'' is at [[HospitalHottie Litchi's]] clinic, having injured herself by falling out of a tree she was climbing for exercise and fun ([[AdultChild yeah, she's like that]]) after eating several platefuls at an all-you-can-eat buffet with her friends Noel and Tsubaki. She's often shown [[SweetTooth eating snacks and sweets]], and one of her winquotes is:

* Yuyuko Saigyouji from the ''{{Touhou}}'' series.

* Big Smoke from ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoSanAndreas''. Notably in the cut-scene for the mission "Drive Through".

* In another BioWare game, ''MassEffect'', the [[AllThereInTheManual Codex]] reveals that people with biotic abilities (telekinesis) are big eaters since it takes so much energy to use their powers. In order to stay healthy, they need to eat almost three times as much as a normal person in their position, and they usually take special high energy drinks or bars right after every battle in which they use their power.

* Batsu and Hinata from ''VideoGame/RivalSchools'' (though the latter does this only with cake).

* Batsu and Hinata from ''RivalSchools'' (though the latter does this only with cake).

* Gan from ''RivalSchools''.

* Chip in ''SonicUnleashed''. He eats in many of the cutscenes, often when there's something more important to worry about, the game comes with three unlockable shorts that focus on him and food, one of the little features the game offers is the ability to feed him and Sonic food from all over the world, which means you can give him things twice his size and he'll stuff it down immediatly (after you become friends with him he'll sometimes follow this up by saying something along the lines of "Sonic, I'm hungry"). To top it off, his ''[[MeaningfulName name]]'' comes from his love of chocolate.
-->'''Chip''': Food still tastes good, even without memories. Haha! Am I shallow?

* In ''[[FantasiaOtomeGameSeries Fantasia - Momento of Grand Finale]]'', Nero is a carnivore who eats a lot (mostly inedible). It is even played for laughs most of the time and he claims it to be his magical ability as a half-elf to have an iron stomach.

* In another BioWare game, ''MassEffect'', the [[AllThereInTheManual Codex]] reveals that people with biotic abilities (telekinesis) are big eaters since it takes so much energy to use their powers. In order to stay healthy, they need to eat almost three times as much as a normal person in their position, and they usually take special high energy drinks or bars right after every battle in which they use their power.

* Naked Snake of ''MetalGearSolid 3'' would probably qualify for this, as would EVA when you have to escort her. Polishing off two sets of rations (engineered to keep you going for at least a day) in a minute and walking away no less hungry than before? Yeah. The only thing he's interested in during [=ParaMedic's=] nature lessons, [[IsItSomethingYouEat is whether he can eat the item in question.]] Add to that the Boss's comment at the beginning of the game about him having lost weight. Suggests his love of food is a little more that just necessary stamina recovery. In ''Portable Ops'', he complains about Sigint's idea to make eating unnecessary for soldiers, because eating is the highlight of his day.
* ''{{Kirby}}''
** Kirby, especially in the Anime ''KirbyOfTheStars'', can devour large quantities of food without any consequences -- except in one episode with special snack food that makes him (and King Dedede) extremely fat.

Even more so, one of her recruit conversation has her so hungry that [[ExtremeOmnivore she starts chomping on Mia's boots]], much to poor Mia's horror.

* Chip in ''SonicUnleashed''. He eats in many of the cutscenes, often when there's something more important to worry about, the game comes with three unlockable shorts that focus on him and food, one of the little features the game offers is the ability to feed him and Sonic food from all over the world, which means you can give him things twice his size and he'll stuff it down immediatly (after you become friends with him he'll sometimes follow this up by saying something along the lines of "Sonic, I'm hungry"). To top it off, his ''[[MeaningfulName name]]'' comes from his love of chocolate.

** [[CatGirl Taokaka]]. She actually carries a HammerSpace plate around in case food becomes available, her response to anything she doesn't know about is IsItSomethingYouEat, and offering/buying her food instantly gains you a place on her "good person" list; this is she met [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Ragna]] [[{{SirSwearsALot}} the]] [[OneManArmy Bloodedge]]. She also borders on ExtremeOmnivore, attempting to actually eat ''Bang and Ragna''.
** [[LittleBitBeastly Mak]][[MsFanservice oto]] is heavily implied, if not outright stated, to be this. Her introduction in ''BlazBlue'' is at [[HospitalHottie Litchi]]'s clinic, having injured herself by falling out of a tree she was climbing for exercise and fun ([[AdultChild yeah, she's like that]]) after eating several platefuls at an all-you-can-eat buffet with her friends Noel and Tsubaki. She's often shown [[SweetTooth eating snacks and sweets]], and one of her winquotes is:

* Big Smoke from ''GrandTheftAutoSanAndreas''. Notably in the cut-scene for the mission "Drive Through".

* In ''MyLittlePonyFriendshipGardens'', your pony can eat the entire stock of apples, cupcakes, pizza, and lollipops, forcing you to grow new ones.

** Yoshi

* An unusual CoolBigSis example is Deis in ''BreathOfFire IV''. Admittedly, she had the perfectly valid excuse of [[spoiler: being imprisoned in a suit of armour named Ershin (that grew to have a mind of its own) for ''centuries'']]; the first thing she does when she ends up being hosted in the body of a summoner (after complaining about the summoner's figure) is pigging out until she passed out.

* Coach is implied to be a big eater in ''Left4Dead 2'', but it's never shown since the zombie outbreak kind of ruined his chances of resting so he can eat something big. He likes eating a pizza sub style, possibly having a sweet tooth since he says it's a damn shame the rainstorm in Hard Rain washed all the sugar away, and heavily likes the Burger Tank's BBQ bacon cheese burger with fries, orange soda with no ice, and an apple pie. When the survivors see a wedding in the park during The Parish, Coach may sometimes ask if the others have seen a wedding cake around.

* ''{{SonicUnleashed}}'' gives us the first time Dr. Eggman has eaten anything on screen. He downs a 12" sub sandwich in two bites, and does it all in under 10 seconds.
* Big Smoke in ''{{Grand Theft Auto San Andreas}}'' not only orders enough food for all four people in the car when the player takes CJ's friends to the drive through on a mission, but he actually manages to eat ''everyone's'' meals in the few minutes it takes to finish the car chase immediately after.

--> *Yawn* "Now, I'm hungry..."

* ''PunchOut''

* The eponymous FatPrincess.

* ''SuperMarioBros''

* Barlow of ''VanguardBandits'', the [[AMechByAnyOtherName ATAC]] pilot with what he calls a "glandular disorder". He's always eating some candy, and when he gets hungry he starts going after the weirdest things. Ranging from earth-worms to [[EverythingsBetterWithPlatypi platypi]].

** There's also the [[ShockAndAwe thunder]] [[MagicalGirlWarrior mage]] Ilyana from ''FireEmblem 9'' and ''10''. To start, every support conversation she has involves her being hungry. She joins your party in the 10th game at first to avenge her stomach for being fed scraps that could never satisfy her. However, at her first introduction in the 9th game, the hero assumes she's just ill. Also, other characters accuse her of using her [[MoeMoe really cute looks]] to get free food.\\\

* Queen Memory in ''TwinkleStarSprites'', who is perpetually hungry and (in her ending scene) asks the wish-granting Twinkle Star for an enormous amount of food (plus sherbert for desert). It's suggested her daughter Ran might be the same way.

** The ghost of Mr. Luggs in ''VideoGame/LuigisMansion'' is this. His FlavorText says [[AWorldwidePunomenon he ate himself to death]], though that did not stop him. Plus, you can only capture him by first vacuuming his food away, making him attack you out of rage.

* Pretty much any game that features the PowerUpFood and HyperactiveMetabolism tropes. Finding whole turkeys or cakes inside those oil drums you just kicked? They'll be gone in a second, and you'll always be ready for more.

* In ''DragonAge'', a conversation with Alistair reveals that most Grey Wardens eat like it's going out of style. Of course, since you [[InformedAbility never see your character eat]]... (InformedFlaw works just as well, there.)
* In another BioWare game, ''MassEffect'', the [[AllThereInTheManual Codex]] reveals that people with biotic abilities (basically telekinesis) are big eaters since it takes so much energy to use their powers. In order to stay healthy, they need to eat almost three times as much as a normal person in their position, and they usually take special high energy drinks or bars right after every battle in which they use their power.

** Aside from constantly referencing food in the eighth game, if you take the translations literally, she ''actually eats a boss'' during the course of the game, merely complaining of a small bone afterward. Kindasorta justified in that she's a ghost. But only partially. It should be noted that the boss she "ate" made a full recovery in time for the ninth game.

* Naked Snake of ''MetalGearSolid 3'' would probably qualify for this, as would EVA when you have to escort her. Polishing off two sets of rations (engineered to keep you going for at least a day) in a minute and walking away no less hungry than before? Yeah. Not to mention how the only thing he's interested in during [=ParaMedic's=] nature lessons, [[IsItSomethingYouEat is whether he can eat the item in question.]] Add to that the Boss's comment at the beginning of the game about him having lost weight. Suggests his love of food is a little more that just necessary stamina recovery. In ''Portable Ops'', he complains about Sigint's idea to make eating unnecessary for soldiers, because eating is the highlight of his day.

** The Cavalier Lowen, Marcus' right hand in ''FireEmblem 7''. A JustifiedTrope because he's actually the [[TeamChef cook of the party]] (mentioned in his supports), not to mention he was raised by his father and grandfather, both former cooks for the Pherae royalty.

** That brings us to [[MagicalGirl Platinum the Trinity]], whose intro to the story involves her eating several dish stacks' worth of food like a total glutton - she even does this in Arcade mode, too! Truly, [[DeadpanSnarker Ragna]] is cursed - Platinum was the second to dine-and-dash on him, the first being, of course, Taokaka.

* After Gulcasa's demon blood is unsealed in ''BlazeUnion'', he goes from having a normal appetite for a teenage boy to going after just about everything edible. In hindsight, the use of this trope is actually rather depressing, as Gulcasa desperately needs the energy due to [[BlessedWithSuck the general instability of his body]] and his flagrant abuse of his DangerousForbiddenTechnique. When having Gulcasa use edible items in-game, though, it just comes off as silly and cute--especially given what kinds of food make him go "[[IAteWhat Oh god, why did I just eat that?]]" and the way he ''still'' [[PickyEater won't touch dairy with a ten-foot pole]].

** Another Pokémon family, Gulpin and Swalot, are basically living stomachs with expandable mouths that swallow their food whole.

** Bear Hugger of the same series drinks entire gallon jugs of maple syrup at pretty much every meal. He's also fat enough that you can't hurt him by hitting his stomach.

* Hanako from ''VideoGame/{{Persona 4}}'', also a {{Gonk}} that believes she's gorgeous. When she's on a ''diet'', she eats an entire bucket of curry.

* Rufus, the new, {{Acrofatic}} fighter from the USA in ''StreetFighterIV''.
