* One mini-game in ''[[VideoGame/MarioParty Mario Party 5]]'' has two players [[GrenadeHotPotato passing a Bowser-shaped bomb to each other until it explodes]]. When it does, the character holding it flies into the screen, causing the camera to tilt... and it even stays that way when the other character celebrates their victory.

* This is the selling point of ''VideoGame/{{Hachoo}}'', an action game where you can throw ''all'' your enemies into the camera, with their faces splatrered over the screen. One enemy variant will have his [[EyeScream eyeballs stuck to the camera]] as his body falls off (before the eyeballs follow suit) while there's another female mook variant who [[{{Fanservice}} lose her clothes]] after hitting the camera.

** ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom3'' continues this, SelfDemonstrating/{{Deadpool}} grabs the camera and, in his usual fourth-wall breaking self, begins berating the player about their performance, [[Franchise/ResidentEvil Wesker]] has a more sinister version, grabbing the defeated opponent (who you're seeing through the eyes of), and lifting him off the ground by the throat, holding his hand up and channeling darkness through it as though about to deliver a killing blow. [[ProudWarriorRaceGuy Super Skrull]] knocks the camera over and stomps on it, shattering the lens.

Added DiffLines:

* In ''VideoGame/BrainDead13'', if Lance gets killed during Fritz's sword-versus-chainsaw battle, pieces of Lance's skin will fly and land onto the camera. Messy!
* In ''VideoGame/{{Splatterhouse}} 2'', when you defeat the boss in the toolshed, blood pours all over the screen. At the time, it was the only time in the series when that happened. When the remake came along, blood spilling on the screen got quite common, along with some enemies getting splattered against the fourth wall during the 2-D sections when whacked with a blunt weapon.
