Added DiffLines:

* ''VideoGame/TakeNoPrisoners'' grants you hover-platforms and hovercrafts in a few areas, that can be manned by a single person and is equipped with a gatling turret for you to kick plenty of ass. You dismount if your ride is too heavily damaged, or you reach an area whose entrance is too small for your ride to enter forcing you to continue on foot.

* The original ''VideoGame/PuzzleQuest'' and it's UpdatedReRelease, ''The Legend Returns'': Mounts grant a boost to one stat plus access to a spell. Example: The dragon spider will increase your Fire/Red Mana stat and grant you the powerful "Breathe Fire" spell.

to:

** ''VideoGame/PokemonScarletAndViolet'' feature Koraidon and Miraidon, two large, vaguely bike-shaped reptilians who the player can... well, ride on. Though initially limited to ground transportation, they gain new forms that enable water and air travel as you progress through the story.

Added DiffLines:

* In ''VideoGame/PaleoPines'', the player can ride certain dinosaurs, known as helpers, which have different abilities. As seen in the demo, Lucky the ''Parasaurolophus'' can dash, and ''Styracosaurus'' can break rocks (''Pachycephalosaurus'' was also shown doing this [[https://twitter.com/PaleoPines/status/1617918415020388352 in a Twitter clip]]). The trailer also shows them using a ''Triceratops'' to plough a field, and [[https://twitter.com/PaleoPines/status/1658135146342813696 the pre-order trailer]] shows a ''Tyrannosaurus'' watering plants.

Added DiffLines:

* ''VideoGame/{{Hangzo}}'' has a {{kirin}} steed you can ride on, where it attacks enemies by breathing fireballs as well as helping you jump further. Said kirin also serves as an extra life, where getting hit will deprive you of the kirin but you can still continue fighting on foot.

Added DiffLines:

* The second game of the ''VideoGame/HeroOfSparta'' series allows you to use larger enemies, like minotaurs or the Cretan bull, as mounts. By executing a grabbing move, you then leap on their shoulders, drives your sword on their backs, and use your weapon to manipulate them into attacking other enemies.

** ''VideoGame/SaturnBomberman'' exchanges the Louies for [[EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs dinosaurs]]. Their name is "Tirra", if ''Bomberman Fantasy Race'' is to be believed, but ''Saturn Bomberman'' itself makes no such suggestion.

Added DiffLines:

* ''VideoGame/BoogieWings'' have animals you can leap and ride on, should you lose your plane or tank and happens to be on foot, including horses, elephants, and a somewhat odd choice, giraffes (if there's a second game out there allowing you to kick ass on a giraffe mount, we'd love to hear about it).

** ''VideoGame/YoshisIsland'' is the inverse of this: you play as Yoshi himself and his friends, as they carry Baby Mario on their backs.[[note]]Except in a few levels where Baby Mario flies around.[[/note]] The creators also thoughtfully included a PowerupMount ''for'' Yoshi, in the form of a large dog named Poochy. The dog carries his passengers across spikes and lava and things, but has a fairly steep learning curve for controlling it.
