* ''RatchetAndClank 2'' has the Mini Nuke, an explosive grenade that isn't nuclear.
* Explosives in ''LittleBigPlanet'' create mushroom clouds in the background if you detonate many of them.
* The Cain in ''MassEffect2'' is specifically explained to ''not'' be nuclear in nature — it's simply a large, explosive-filled shell launched at relativistic velocities towards a target. Since the resulting impact is powerful enough to create the characteristic mushroom cloud, it's referred to as the 'Nuke Gun' by its users in-universe, and has radioactivity symbols plastered all over it.
* "Fallout 3" has the mini nuke, shooting a round the size of a football and it consistently gives a mushroom upon impact. The scattered cars apparently all ran on nuclear power as well and ALSO explode in a mushroom cloud when hit with enough stray rounds.
* The Doom-Shroom from ''PlantsVsZombies'' is a black, evil-looking mushroom that explodes in a mushroom cloud. Granted, the explosion is pretty big and instantly kills anything short of a Gargantuar, but it is definitely not nuclear in nature.
* The E3 trailer for ''SuperSmashBros Brawl'' (semi-)ended with Wario preparing his [[{{Fartillery}} fart attack]] -- whereupon the camera shifts to a remote view of a lime-green mushroom cloud.
