** Despite being one half of a famous duo who gets as much focus as his brother in the games, Luigi is largely sidelined with his role as a DistressedDude, leaving most of the focus on Mario and his new friends. [[spoiler:He does, however, play a pivotal role in the climax by saving Mario from getting singed by Bowser's flame and using the Super Star with his brother to defeat Bowser and his army.]]

* While it's not rare for individual members of the ComicBook/LegionOfSuperHeroes to be out of focus for stretches, this was actually the fate of the entire ''team'' during the five-years-later-era Terra Mosaic arc. With the focus squarely on Earth and the war against the invading Dominators--which included, among its many major players, a teenaged version of the team--the actual adult Legion spent most of its time on its home base offworld doing little of note. Even the adult legionnaires sent to Earth to help with the effort do very little, compared to characters like the former Legion of Substitute Heroes or Universo.

** Jill is the hardest hit out of all the ''Resident Evil'' characters when it comes to this. While even the likes of Rebecca, Barry and Sherry have made later appearances, Jill is left out of focus of the games as well as the animated media after ''[=RE5=]'' and ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilRevelations''. The likely explanation is the Creator/{{Capcom}} themselves [[https://www.google.com.au/amp/s/gamerant.com/resident-evil-infinite-darkness-re8-no-jill-valentine/amp/ no longer consider Jill a bankable character]] after the lackluster sales of her games, although that’s hardly her fault. This has been averted at long last with the new CG film ''Resident Evil: Dead Island'' where Jill returns to the story, the creators may well of known how momentous this would be to the fans, given they used Jill as TheStinger of the trailer.

** This actually happened to ''Sonic himself'' in ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2006'' where Sonic plays the ''least'' relevant role of all three protagonists. He never even figures out who the BigBad is, or what he's even planning. He's more occupied with rescuing [[TheLoad Princess Elise]] repeatedly. What's especially JustForFun/{{egregious}} about this is that was the ''franchise's 15th anniversary''.
** ''VideoGame/SonicColors'' marked Creator/SonicTeam's attempt to streamline the franchise, which meant all the supporting cast had to go, leaving just Sonic, Tails and Eggman (and Orbot and Cubot as comic relief). ''VideoGame/SonicGenerations'' brought many of the supporting cast back for minor roles, though they went away again for ''VideoGame/SonicLostWorld'', with Amy and Knuckles appearing in 2 cutscenes, but not contributing to the main plot. ''VideoGame/SonicBoom'' seems to be bringing them back to playable character status.
