History CreativeClosingCredits / VideoGames

* ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcomClashOfSuperHeroes'' accompanies its end credits with humorous scenes of the AssistCharacter[=s=] from the game, plus [[VideoGame/MegaMan Roll]], fighting one another.

* ''VideoGame/OctopathTraveler'' has quite a cool example upon finishing your starting protaganist's final chapter. As the Credits are playing it replays each of the killing blows you inflicted upon every story boss up til that point.

** The later games turn the credits into minigames. In ''Melee'' and ''Brawl'', it's a shooting minigame where you shoot the different names in the staff roll or portraits of the characters. In ''4'', it's another minigame where you must fill in a picture by attacking the names as they scroll by. ''Ultimate'' returns to being a shooting minigame, with certain thresholds of hit targets rewarding the player with bonus items.

** Instead of a final encore, ''Warriors of Rock'' (on the UsefulNotes/XBox360 and UsefulNotes/PlayStation3 versions only) has a special staff roll with cut-outs of Neversoft employees being loaded into a demonic looking rocket that gets blasted into space. While the sequence may have been to honor the fact that this was supposed to be the last ''GH'' game developed by Neversoft, the later announcement that the franchise was most likely being canned may have given it a greater meaning.

* ''VideoGame/{{Teleroboxer}}'' for the UsefulNotes/VirtualBoy had the robot hands in the same first-person perspective used during the game. Pictures of the developers come into perspective and the hands start punching them, making them hilariously deformed before they are thrown into ATwinkleInTheSky--er, space. At the end the player can punch the Nintendo logo for a while.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheGrimAdventuresOfBillyAndMandy'' game allows you to destroy the credits as they roll though there is no point.

* The UsefulNotes/SegaGenesis ''VideoGame/AlteredBeast'' allows you to attack the credits.

* The closing credits of the ''VideoGame/{{Atelier}}'' games tend to display artwork and scenes related to the game during the credits, particularly the later installments. If it's the end of a particular trilogy within the series, i.e. ''VideoGame/AtelierLydieAndSuelleTheAlchemistsAndTheMysteriousPaintings'', then it will show material from all three games in the trilogy. And then there's ''VideoGame/NelkeAndTheLegendaryAlchemistsAteliersOfTheNewWorld'', which being a MassiveMultiplayerCrossover celebrating the whole series features artwork and scenes from throughout the franchise, going back to the beginning before finally ending with the game itself and the ''Atelier'' 20th anniversary logo.

* [[http://www.kongregate.com/games/whiteboardwar/creeper-world-2-academy?acomplete=creep Creeper World 2: Academy]] features a playable level in its credits.

* The end credits for ''VideoGame/DoctorRobotniksMeanBeanMachine'' features a roll call for all the opponents you faced, which is the only way to learn the names of some of them.

* Franchise/{{Kirby}}:

* The credits of ''VideoGame/RockBand'' are accompanied by a photo of every named Harmonix staff member [[ThePowerOfRock rocking out]].

* In the Collector's Edition of ''Dire Grove'', there's a math puzzle in the end credits. Solving it gives you a seven-digit number. If you then replay the game, you can enter that number into a certain telephone and get a message about an upcoming Ravenhearst sequel.
* ''Escape From Ravenhearst'', a game in which you must spot objects whose appearance shifts back and forth, has some of its closing credits shift between the real names/headings and jokes.

* The first ''VideoGame/PokemonRanger'' game let you explode the text by tapping it with your stylus while WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue-type scenes play on the top.
** Keeping with ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'', ''[=HeartGold=]'' and ''[=SoulSilver's=]'' credits are [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tFWqkhe37ks really, really sweet]]. Dancing Pokemon, gym leaders screwing around, TR getting chased by Lance, Silver kicking you...
*** ''VideoGame/PokemonBlackAndWhite'' initially displays sweeping close-up views of Reshiram (in ''White'') or Zekrom (in ''Black'') during the end credits. Afterwards, you get to see [[spoiler:N flying off on the dragon that appeared]] during TheStinger. The end credits after beating the TrueFinalBoss don't have a gimmick, though.
*** ''VideoGame/PokemonSunAndMoon'' is a montage of photos of many of the characters in the game (Trial Captains, the Aether Foundation, etc) doing things, up to and including surfing on the back of Tauros and fishing up Wishiwashi.

** The orginal's credits have an early-eighties computer effect, using [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII ASCII]] symbols which show the lyrics to the end song playing alongside various symbols and models from the games in this format.

* ''VideoGame/PowerwashSimulator'''s credits feature time-lapsed videos of your progress throughout all the levels in the game as a retrospective of how far you and your business have come.

* In ''Franchise/StreetFighter [=EX3=]'', while the credits roll, your fighter is placed at the center of a room in which you have to fight waves of opponents. Not fighting will not deny any benefits to you, nor will it spring a KaizoTrap, but the enemies come in such a sheer number that you're sure to take one hell of a wallop if you just stand there. Thankfully, their strength is inversely proportional to their ranks...

* ''VideoGame/{{ULTRAKILL}}'' has a fully-explorable developer museum, featuring throwable plushies of everyone who contributed to the game alongside their contributions, scrapped weapons and early enemy designs, and a theater that plays a montage of developer updates set to "Gymnopédie No.1".

* ''VideoGame/WorldInConflict'' expansion, ''Soviet Assault'' have credits with lots of funny photos/videos showing development team during work or at their free time plus many game engine glitches and funny scenes.

* In the ShootEmUp ''VideoGame/BigBang'' (a.k.a. ''Thunder Dragon 2''), the letters of the credits can actually be shot down by your plane for extra points.

* The credits of ''[[VideoGame/MishapAnAccidentalHaunting Mishap: An Accidental Haunting]]'' have floating concept art in the background.

* The credits of ''[[VideoGame/Nevertales3SmokeAndMirrors Nevertales 3: Smoke and Mirrors]]'' have a card knight which dances its way across the bottom of the screen.

* ''VideoGame/WarioWare: Smooth Moves'' has everyone who worked on the game appearing as a Mii on a stage. You can move a portable hole around the stage and try to make the Miis fall through it.

** The game and [[VideoGame/Bayonetta2 its sequel]] have little scenes between the credits and their spiffy music where the player relieves previous scenes of the game, ending with one last one relevant to the epilogue. Performace on these scenes grant medals, and these affect the player's ranking on the final chapter.

* ''VideoGame/{{Skylanders}}: Spyro's Adventure'' sees Flynn comment on the credits, mostly [[SmallNameBigEgo congratulating himself]] and encouraging the player to go into the PlayableEpilogue. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VWpyB9uaHB8 Then he goes meta]] (at about the three-minute mark). He comments on the sequel's credits, too, though doesn't go quite as meta this time.

* This trope is a staple of the ''VideoGame/NewSuperMarioBros'' games.
** The ending credits of the original ''New Super Mario Bros.'' features a montage of every single level that had been played in the game. If you play a level that you hadn't before beating the game, it will be added to the credits the next time you see them. The player can also use the stylus to tap the letters in the names that appear in the credits; each letter plays a different sound effect.
** The outro of ''VideoGame/NewSuperMarioBrosWii'' has every letter of the credits as unique brick block. You can destroy them to find coins, with up to four players competing, the player with the most coins at the end "wins". (Yes, the minigame consists of smashing the credits to pieces for coins.) Or you could just watch everyone dance along to the music.
** ''VideoGame/NewSuperMarioBros2'' had Mario[=/=]Luigi carry Peach home through an autoscrolling level, with patterns of flying coins you can pick up to add to your total. You can also [[FunnyBackgroundEvent watch Bowser and the Koopalings]] try to harass you, and [[EpicFail fail]].
** ''VideoGame/NewSuperMarioBrosU'' has a competitive minigame during the credits. This time, you're trying to collect coins being spit out in bubbles by Baby Yoshis.

* ''VideoGame/PaperMario'':
** ''VideoGame/PaperMario64'', ''VideoGame/PaperMarioStickerStar'', and ''VideoGame/PaperMarioColorSplash'' have parades go by, featuring characters and floats themed after all previous levels. The music is a medley of tracks from the game, too.
** ''[[VideoGame/PaperMarioTheThousandYearDoor The Thousand-Year Door]]'' mixed things up a bit by having a simple credits sequence with silhouettes of every single character marching through it.
** ''VideoGame/PaperMarioTheOrigamiKing'' has Mario and Luigi driving back from Peach's Castle, while the background changes to match previous areas and a [[WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue image slideshow of the characters]] runs alongside.

* The credits of ''VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy2 '' allow you to jump all over the place, and yes, you ''can'' even die in the credits. If this happens, the credits fade with Mario's death, the "TOO BAD!" screen will be overlaid over the final shot, and TheStinger will play as normal. The stinger depicts Rosalina closing a book in front of an audience of excited Lumas, implying that the game was her telling a story to them--it becomes hilarious if Mario dies during the credits, as it means her book has a sudden and unexpected DownerEnding.
* ''VideoGame/SuperMarioRPG'' ends with a parade of the game's entire cast, filled with plenty of visual gags and ending at night with a fireworks display that changes depending on a relatively minor mechanic from earlier in the game.

* ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog'':

* ''VideoGame/{{Borderlands}}''':

* ''Franchise/{{Splatoon}}'': The [[VideoGame/Splatoon1 first game's]] credits, and the many doodles that are drawn along them, are revealed by firing ink or tossing Burst Bombs in the opposite color at the screen as they scroll by. ''VideoGame/Splatoon2'' repeats the trick for the base campaign's credits, but ''[[DownloadableContent Octo Expansion]]'' ditches it in favor of having the credits and doodles displayed as a projection from the player character's personal device that the main cast is watching alongside you. ''VideoGame/Splatoon3'' instead has the credits and doodles roll through outer space while giving you the option to fire ink that then either splashes on the text/images or floats around in zero-g.

* ''VideoGame/{{Splatoon|1}}'''s credits, and the many doodles that are drawn along them, are revealed by firing ink or tossing Burst Bombs in the opposite color at the screen as they scroll by. ''VideoGame/Splatoon2'' repeats the trick for the base campaign's credits, but the ''[[DownloadableContent Octo Expansion]]'' ditches it in favor of a more conventional credits roll.
