* ''PansLabyrinth'' features easily one of the [[HighOctaneNightmareFuel darkest]] examples of the trope. Ofelia must go through three dangerous trials to prove to the Faun that her "essence" is still intact, and she is worthy to return to the Underworld as Princess Moanna, all while dodging her [[CompleteMonster sadistic]] Fascist step-father. [[spoiler:In the end, she's shot to death - but, [[BittersweetEnding happily]], death turns out to be a requirement of [[FridgeBrilliance being a princess of the Underworld]].]]

* The ''{{Angelique}}'' series centers around an inverse version of this: the protagonist is competing against a rival to see who will become Queen, but the girl is taken out of her normal life on Earth to become a Queen Candidate.

* Played with rather interestingly in ''HanaNoKoLunLun''. The titular CuteWitch had to find the MacGuffin (a magical flower) in her travels -- but it was nor for ''herself'' but to enable someone else (the Prince of the Flower Star) to legitimately ascend to the throne. On the other hand, the BigBad Togenishia was a VainSorceress from the Flower Star who wanted Lunlun to find the PlotCoupon and then ''steal'' it from her so she could be crowned as Queen instead. [[spoiler: Lunlun succeeds, Togenishia is defeated... ands it turns out that the Orince was Lunlun's MysteriousProtector, whom she's in love with. He steps out of the succesion line, gives the Flor to his brother who's crowned in his place, and marries Lunlun to live on Earth with her.]]

A MagicalGirl trope. Usually more heavily linked to the CuteWitch than other types of magical girls, especially magical travellers from other realms or planets.

* ''MajokkoMegChan'' was both the first magical girl show to introduce a rival, and it was pretty much the TropeMaker for this trope too. Meg-chan is competing with another extra dimensional traveller called Non for the throne. She has a [[MuggleFosterParents Muggle Foster Family]] (other than the mother, who is also a witch) and she herself has no concept of family coming from a realm where families don't exist.

[[Tabletop Games]]

Not all magical travellers have this plot element, some of them just visit earth out of curiosity and others are sent there to make it a better place or reconnect it with their home realm which may be in jeopardy but don't have the Queen competition element (so this trope doesn't include Princesses who would become queen anyway regardless of if they ever visited the planet e.g. ''MagicalPrincessMinkyMomo'' and ''SallyTheWitch'' who are magical princesses and Earth visitors, but aren't being tested, don't count). Note if the MagicalGirl in question never leaves her realm but is still competing for Queendom then she probably does count, but visiting Earth is fairly common to this trope.

* ''HanaNoKoLunLun'' had it of sorts, [=LunLun=] had to find PlotCoupons to enable someone else (a Prince) to take the throne. Close enough if not exactly this trope.

* ''PansLabyrinth'' features easily one of the [[HighOctaneNightmareFuel darkest]] examples of the trope.

A MagicalGirl trope. Usually heavily linked to the CuteWitch subgroup of magical girls rather than MagicalGirlWarrior or OlderAlterEgo magical girls, especially magical travellers from other realms or planets.

* This trope is the entire plot of ''Zatch Bell''. 100 child demons are sent to earth to fight one another and the last one standing is crowned King of their world.

* ''Stargate Atlantis'' has a slight variant on this in the 4th season episode "Harmony" -- the princess doesn't visit Earth, but ''is'' required to complete a task and activate an Ancient device to prove her worth as the new Queen.

* ''PansLabyrinth'' features easily one of the [[HighOctaneNightmareFuel darkest]] examples of the trope. For one thing, [[AllJustADream it might not even be real]].
** The WordOfGod has denied that interpretation - not to mention that taking out the supernatural elements shown would mean that the heroine possessed inexplicable powers of teleportation, instead.
