* Gideon Gordon Grave's battlefield in Ramona's mind in the ''ScottPilgrim'' graphic novels has a checkered floor.

* Interestingly, quite a bit on the {{Mario}} games. Given the ''Literature/AliceInWonderland'' roots, little wonder.

* Chessboard Land in ''KingsQuestVI''.

* Tartarus in ''{{Persona 3}}''

* The heart of the Amala Labyrinth in ''ShinMegamiTenseiNocturne'' [[spoiler: where Lucifer resides]] has a checkerboard floor.

* The ''HomestarRunner'' [[ShowWithinAShow cartoon within a cartoon]] "Sweet Cuppin' Cakes" is set on a teal checkerboard plain. This is probably the show's least surreal feature.

* YumeNikki has a checkered pattern on Madotsuki's shirt. The Fangames took that and carried on with it, ending up with this trope.

* The cockpit of the Megazords in ''PowerRangersMysticForce'' is a not-actually-real place that looks like a checkerboard floor in the middle of a void.

* The heart of the Amala Labyrinth in ''ShinMegamiTenseiNocturne'' [[spoiler: where Lucifer resides]] has a checkerboard floor.

* ''{{Kyousogiga}}'': Inevitable, given the massive HumanChess and ''AliceInWonderland'' refs.

* All over ''TheMatrix''; one example is when Neo goes to meet Morpheus (and first enters "the Real World.") The movie is pretty blatant with the ''AliceInWonderland'' refs in that scene.

* Interestingly, quite a bit on the {{Mario}} games. Given the ''AliceInWonderland'' roots, little wonder.

* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'': there's a notable creepy checkerboard ground in the scenes where the [[IncrediblyLamePun mane]] cast confront the villain Discord on his throne during part two of the season 2 premiere. Because of discord, all of Equestria had effectively been turned into an EldritchLocation.

* Skaia in {{Homestuck}} is a Checkerboard PLANET after prototyping enough times.

* ''Sonic3AndKnuckles'' features them quite prominently in the BlueSphere special stages. GreenHillZone doesn't count, however, since despite featuring a prominent checkerboard pattern, it's not actually otherworldly within the context of the series.
* Touhou: In Fanworks, Sikieiki's Court has a chessboard floor, somewhat justified, given her ability to judge things black and white.
