* Director-writer Franco Dragone helmed the bulk of Creator/CirqueDuSoleil's shows through 1998, and has since struck out on his own. Two of his solo shows, ''Le Reve'' (2005, Las Vegas) and ''The House of Dancing Water'' (2010, Macau, China) can be seen as spiritual successors to one of his last Cirque efforts, ''Theatre/{{O}}'' (1998, Las Vegas), if only for the fact that they're all stylized fantasies that take place in, around, and upon enormous pools that can be converted to conventional stages as needed. (''Le Reve'', which was competing directly against ''"O"'', was initially poorly regarded by critics for being little more than a grim [[RecycledPremise recycling of]] the Cirque effort, and substantial [[{{Retool}} retooling]] resulted.)
* Creator/HenrikIbsen had a number of successor plays: ''Theatre/AnEnemyOfThePeople'' follows up the political themes from ''Theatre/TheLeagueOfYouth'', with a character from the former play showing up in the latter. Also ''Theatre/TheMasterBuilder'', who follows the same pattern as a sequel to ''Theatre/TheLadyFromTheSea''. Both ''The Master Builder'' and ''Theatre/WhenWeDeadAwaken'' have themes in common with Theatre/{{Brand}}.
* ''Theatre/{{Hamilton}}'' can be compared to ''Theatre/SeventeenSeventySix'' for a few reasons. Most obviously, it's a musical about the Founding Fathers trying to create America. Although ''1776'' is a GovernmentProcedural about the efforts to declare independence and ''Hamilton'' is a full biography, both have songs about their leads grappling with principles and the need to compromise to accomplish their goals. While ''1776'' portrays the Founding Fathers as griping, mopey, bored aristocrats who painstakingly earn their "Mount Rushmore" stature by learning to compromise their ethics and rise above their flaws, the Founding Fathers in ''Hamilton'' are a mixture of the previously-described aristocrats and young, poor revolutionaries who have a fire lit under them, yet are no less flawed and taken a bit more soundly to task for it. Where ''1776'' alludes to the fickleness of historians through John Adams' lament that he'll be forgotten and Franklin's ironic "What will posterity think we were, demigods?", ''Hamilton'' turns it into a central theme as its principal characters struggle to define and control their legacy. Both Adams and Hamilton were also "forgotten" Founding Fathers in spite of their zeal and accomplishments, whose profiles were raised dramatically by the plays, and had a tendency to piss off everyone around them. (Including each other, in fact; "despised" would be a mild way of describing their mutual feeling.)
* Creator/WilliamShakespeare used a limited number of themes in his works, to the point that some of his plays are almost identical in mood. For example: ''Theatre/KingLear'', ''Theatre/TimonOfAthens'', and ''Theatre/TitusAndronicus'' are all dark and heart-wrenching tragedies with {{Bittersweet Ending}}s about great and powerful men who are reduced to insane beggars because of a single decision which was idiotic in retrospect.

* Crossing with Music, Buffalaxes are the spiritual successor to Animutation. Both runs on {{Mondegreen}}s, but while Animutation creators create trippy animation to go with what they mondegreened, Buffalaxes tend to be more straightforward and use the real music video wholesale, with the humor coming from over-the-top expletive-laden mondegreens of the song lyrics instead being shown as the song's subtitles. Buffalaxes started surfacing a few years after the animutation craze has died down.
* ''WebAnimation/DCSuperheroGirls'' is ''WesternAnimation/SuperBestFriendsForever'' meets the unused ''Gotham High'' pitch. ''DC Superhero Girls'' is a LighterAndSofter HighSchoolAU where the protagonists are mostly several female Creator/DCComics characters in a SuperheroSchool. It features teenage versions of ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} and ComicBook/{{Batgirl}}, though it uses Franchise/WonderWoman rather than her sister Wonder Girl.
* ''WebAnimation/SuperMarioBrosZ'' received a spiritual successor in the form of ''[[http://fav.me/d585i9m Super Mario Bros. GT: The Grand Adventure]]'', this one being a crossover with ''Franchise/{{Kirby}}''.
* ''WebAnimation/WolfSongTheMovie'' is a wolf-centric animation that takes some inspiration from licensed works. There's a clear ''Literature/{{Warrior|Cats}}s'' influence, but with the characters as canines instead of cats, and it's also similar to ''Warriors''' sister-series ''Literature/{{Survivor|Dogs}}s'', but with more wolves. Some of the designs look awfully similar to ''Manga/GingaNagareboshiGin'', as does the fighting. Similarily to ''Anime/WolfsRain'', wolves are near extinction.

[[folder:Web Comics]]
* ''Webcomic/TheAccidentalSpaceSpy'' is a spiritual successor to ''Webcomic/HitmenForDestiny'' by the same author. The setting and characters are different, but they both explore how BizarreAlienBiology might come about through evolution, and rely on {{farce}}.
* ''Webcomic/AntiHeroes'' openly acknowledges right at the top of the page that it was inspired by Rich Burlew's ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'', and uses a similar stick-figure style as well as medium-aware gags, and even a few breaking-the-fourth-wall-references to Burlew's style. The overall plot and universe differ significantly, though.
* [[https://asoftersea.tumblr.com A Softer Sea]] is a comic drawing direct inspiration from {{Webcomic/A Softer World}}, down to the formula of three or six panel strips juxtaposed with poetry, created by two people. The main difference is that A Softer Sea seems to adhere to a loose canon, rather than a wider variety of content from its inspiration.
%%* ''Webcomic/DarthsAndDroids'' was directly inspired by ''Webcomic/DMOfTheRings''.
* ''Webcomic/{{Girly}}'' by Josh Lesnick is... kind of a Spiritual Successor to his previous webcomic ''Webcomic/CuteWendy''. The two main characters from ''Cute Wendy'' are the mother and father/mother of Winter from ''Girly'', but the stories are separate and unique enough to be considered a league of its own.
* The characters of ''{{Webcomic/{{Precocious}}'' share a lot of traits with ''Webcomic/OzyAndMillie'' -- as do the adults, who generally seem content to leave them to their own devices as long as the damage is kept at a minimum.
%%* The webcomic ''Webcomic/QuantumVibe'' is believed to be a spiritual successor of ''Series/RedDwarf''.
* In John Allison's own words: ''Webcomic/BadMachinery "is son of ''Webcomic/ScaryGoRound'' in the same way that ''Scary Go Round'' was son of ''Webcomic/{{Bobbins}}''."
* Shaenon Garrity's ''Webcomic/SkinHorse'' is a bit of an odd duck here-- it ''was'' the spiritual successor to ''Webcomic/{{Narbonic}}''. A group of misfits providing each other with emotional support; one or two non-human sentients trying to find a way to fit into the world; and a dash of UST. Now, however, a ''Narbonic'' character has made an appearance in ''Skin Horse'', promoting it ([[{{Retcon}} retroactively]]?) to ''actual'' sequel. It's been confirmed by WordOfGod that UNITY is what the military did with the samples of Mell's DNA that Helen sold them. If that wasn't planned from the start it fits together ''very'' neatly.
* ''Webcomic/ThreePanelSoul'' is the SpiritualSuccessor to ''Webcomic/MacHall''. The relationship between the two comics is not dissimilar to the relationship of one's life during college, and one's life after college (and not without good reason, either, since that's what they're about with regards to Matt and Ian).
* ''Webcomic/WeAreTheWyrecats'' is technically a sequel to ''Webcomic/RubyNation'', but it focuses on an (almost) entirely new cast of characters. What the two comics share is the same setting and the [[CreatorThumbprint same set of themes]].

However, the protagonists are very different; Michel is an rich man experienced at all this magic stuff, while the narrator of PE is a broke homeless guy who can't remember his name or past and has no real idea what's going on.
* Discussed in Website/SFDebris' review of ''Film/StarTrekNemesis''. Like many Trekkies, Chuck Sonnenberg feels that a major problem with ''Nemesis'' is that it tried way too hard to be a SpiritualSuccessor to ''Film/StarTrekIITheWrathOfKhan'', a film often cited as the best of the ''Star Trek'' movies; it features a genetically modified human villain who's framed as the EvilCounterpart of the heroic Captain, an experimental doomsday weapon figures into the plot, it climaxes with a one-on-one starship battle, and it even ends with [[spoiler: Data pulling a HeroicSacrifice to save the crew à la Spock]]. But as Sonnenberg argues, the producers didn't realize that they had already unintentionally made a much better Spiritual Successor to ''The Wrath of Khan'' with ''Film/StarTrekFirstContact''. Both films are follow-ups to classic episodes of the TV show ([[Recap/StarTrekS1E22SpaceSeed "Space Seed"]] and [[Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS3E26S4E1TheBestOfBothWorlds "The Best of Both Worlds"]], respectively) that feature Kirk and Picard attempting to come to grips with their FatalFlaw while battling their [[ItsPersonal most personal]] enemy, and they feature them confronting the legacy of [[CrapsackWorld the brutal 21st century]] in the personage of Khan Noonien Singh and Dr. Zephram Cochrane. [[note]] Both are important in-universe historical figures who cross paths with the crew of the ''Enterprise''; one is an infamous tyrant who waged the bloody Eugenics Wars based on notions of genetic superiority, the other is a revered scientist who led mankind into a new era of peace in the wake of the Third World War. Khan meets the crew after being locked in cryogenic stasis for three centuries, while the crew meets Cochrane after traveling through a time warp into the 21st century.[[/note]]

* The Website/YouTube channel ''[[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYbrF2-PsN4_vAkRdYjRwNQ/ AOK]]'' is a spiritual successor to the ''[[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyjTUNqX_vasRG4AAaM34jA FOX ADHD]]'' channel and television block. The type of content on both channels is very similar, not to mention that two of ADHD's writers, Heather Anne Campbell and Eric Moneypenny, are the writers for AOK.
* ''WebVideo/{{Crossed}}'' was a series of short video by Karim Debbache where he reviewed movies based on -- or talking about -- video games. The series ended after the 28 episodes negotiated with [=JeuxVidéo.com=], the website which hosted his videos. After negotiations with the website and other potential partners failed, Karim launched in 2016 a new, crowdfunded show called ''WebVideo/{{Chroma}}''. The new show doesn't just have a similar title and subject as ''Crossed'' but also the same length and format, the same humor, Karim's friends Gilles and Jeremy coming back, and generally feels like a season of ''Crossed'' that doesn't focus on videogames.
* ''Diggnation'' and ''[=TWiT=]'' are both spiritual successors to ''The Screen Savers''
* Richard Michael Alvarez, creator of ''WebVideo/StupidMarioBrothers'', announced that a spiritual successor to SMB called ''That Stupid Video Game Show''. It will feature generally the same characters as SMB but will not have an overarching storyline like its predecessor. Each episode will be self-contained.
* ''WebVideo/TheTotallyRadShow'' is a spiritual successor to ''Geekdrome'' and Burt Monroy's ''Pixel Perfect'' can be seen a spiritual successor to Bob Ross' ''Series/TheJoyOfPainting''
* ''WebVideo/TVTrash'' could be seen as this to Benthelooney's 2009-2011 run of rants, because of The Rowdy Reviewer's characterization, the way he voices his opinions (Fair and less harsh when compared to other [[CausticCritic caustic critics]]), less focus on jokes, and more focus on the subject at hand with an occasional joke thrown into the picture. (Especially so, since Benthelooney took a different direction to the way he was before cancellation, when his rants restarted production.)
* ''WebVideo/WorldWarTwo'': The series is one to ''WebVideo/TheGreatWar'' following the same RealTime format, the same host, and some of the same production staff but about UsefulNotes/WorldWarII following on from the original series coverage of UsefulNotes/WorldWarI.

* ''Gloomsbury'' to ''The Wordsmiths at Gorsemere'': a BBC Radio 4 slice-of-life sitcom written by Sue Limb about an exaggerated version of a well known group of writers (the Romantic poets and the Bloomsbury set), filled with {{punny name}}s.
* ''Radio/HelloCheeky'' was this to ''Radio/ImSorryIllReadThatAgain''. Both were sketch shows with a surreal bent, a cast that played exaggerated versions of themselves, NoFourthWall, a shared actor in Tim Brooke-Taylor and, early on, a shared producer in David Hatch. The main difference was that ''Hello Cheeky'' was a lot quicker and looser, with sketches not needing a punchline. (Actually, the first season of ''Hello Cheeky'' ran parallel to the last season of ''I'm Sorry, I'll Read That Again'', which resulted in playful potshots by the latter to the former.)
* Not a programme, but an entire station: 96.3 Radio Aire in Leeds, West Yorkshire, could be considered as a spiritual successor to 103.2 Power FM in Hampshire. Similar playlist, emphasis on personality/music, rather than "more music less talk", and emphasis on dance music at the weekends, whilst retaining an air of locality; in fact they only network 7pm-10pm and 1am-6am weekdays, from 6pm-10pm Saturdays and weekend overnights; otherwise, they're pretty much local.
* Same could be said for UKRD's takeover of the former TLRC [The Local Radio Company] stations; they sound like live and local stations of the 1990s, with emphasis on the local part. Plus, there were few if any rebrands, except in the North East, and no networking - so it feels local in content terms.

* The design team of ''TabletopGame/CityOfSevenSeraphs'' has cited ''TabletopGame/{{Planescape}}'' as a major influence. The City, a planar hub metropolis at the centre of all realities, is Sigil with the serial numbers filed off. Colin [=McComb=], co-creator of Planescape and writer of ''VideoGame/PlanescapeTorment'', is one of the designers working on ''City of 7 Seraphs''.
* Cheapass' Games ''Kill Doctor Lucky'' is a spiritual ''prequel'' to ''TabletopGame/{{Clue}}''.
* ''Magic: The Gathering Arena of the Planeswalkers'' is the successor to ''TabletopGame/{{Heroscape}}'' as it is made by the same designers and basically just takes Heroscape and puts it in the TableTopGame/MagicTheGathering universe and adds magic cards but is 90% the same game. It even has compatable terrain and some even say armies and almost everyone that has both games has tried mixing them.
* ''TabletopGame/{{Hordes}}''/''TabletopGame/{{Warmachine}}'' by Creator/PrivateerPress is considers by many to be a better version of TabletopGame/{{Warhammer}} Fantasy and 40,000, as many Creator/GamesWorkshop designers left to start Privateer Press for the purpose of not only making a better game but in their opinion a better game company.
* The OGL fostered many of these for ''Advanced Dungeons and Dragons'' First Edition: Among them are ''Castles and Crusades'', ''OSRIC'', and ''Labyrinth Lord''.
* ''TableTopGame/{{Pathfinder}}'' is Paizo's refinement of ''TableTopGame/DungeonsAndDragons 3.5'' edition rules, made after Creator/WizardsOfTheCoast released Fourth Edition and upset a lot of fans because it was completely incompatible with 3.5 and was a sharp change in play-style.
** Dreamscarred Press has made a habit of taking TableTopGame/DungeonsAndDragons's alternate magic systems and porting them to Pathfinder.
*** [[PsychicPowers Psionics]] were revamped in their ''Ultimate Psionics'' book, with significant chunks being outright conversions.
*** The controversial ''Tome of Battle'' was revamped in ''Path of War''. Notably, while the ''system'' is a Pathfinder version of Tome of Battle's, none of the Tome of Battle classes or disciplines have counterparts, so as to avoid rights issues.
*** ''Magic of Incarnum's'' meldshaping was reworked into the veilweaving of ''Akashic Mysteries''. Like Path of War, it avoids having direct counterparts to its predecessor's classes. ''Unlike'' Path of War, the fluff around Akasha is ''considerably'' different to that of incarnum.
** ''Kobold Quarterly'', from Open Design/Kobold Press, which ran from 2007 to 2012, was essentially a ''Magazine/{{Dragon}}'' magazine for 4th ed and ''Pathfinder''. It even had an advice column by Skip Williams, the original Sage of ''Dragon'''s "Sage Advice".
* ''TabletopGame/FrontierSpace'', released in 2017, is a DolledUpInstallment of TSR's 1982 classic sci-fi RPG ''TabletopGame/StarFrontiers''.
* The ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000'' GaidenGame ''TabletopGame/{{Necromunda}}'' is a heavily streamlined version of the early 90s game ''Confrontation'' with fleshed out background. Serialised in ''Magazine/WhiteDwarf'', ''Confrontation'' dealt with running underhive gangs in small scale skirmishes and what went on in the downtime between them. The game was known to be exceedingly complex and terrifyingly lethal (roll up a gang in a few hours, have the first guy killed within a minute of starting to play) but interesting nonetheless.

* ''VisualNovel/HotelDuskRoom215'' is considered to be the SpiritualSuccessor to ''VideoGame/AnotherCode'' (''Trace Memory'' in the United States), and is set in the same universe. ''VisualNovel/{{Again}}'' is in turn the SpiritualSuccessor to ''VisualNovel/HotelDuskRoom215''.
* ''VisualNovel/{{Snatcher}}'' and ''VisualNovel/{{Policenauts}}'', both of which are sci-fi graphic adventure games directed by Creator/HideoKojima.
* The ''VisualNovel/TokimekiMemorial'' series got, [[LongRunners during its 15 years-long run and ongoing]], three Spiritual Successors:
** ''VideoGame/MitsumeteKnight'' in 1997, which used ''Tokimeki Memorial 1'''s game engine and most of its mechanics, with several twists such as easier girl management, an expanded battle system, and a rich medieval/heroic-fantasy storyline where AnyoneCanDie ;
** ''VideoGame/MeineLiebe'' in 2001, using too the same game engine than Tokimemo but in a [[GenderFlip Gender Flipped]] version, making it the predecessor of the ''VisualNovel/TokimekiMemorialGirlsSide'' branch of the series ;
** ''VideoGame/LovePlus'' in 2009, reducing the datable characters to a measly three of them, but with lots more development around them and an ''After Story'' of sorts where the player can interact with the girl long after having they have confessed their feelings (a system which got a lot of controversy, especially with some {{Otaku}} [[http://kotaku.com/5409877/the-one-about-the-guy-who-married-a-video-game pushing the thing]] a bit too far).
** In 2007, Konami released ''VideoGame/BrooktownHigh'' in English. It was an InNameOnly successor to the ''Tokimeki Memorial'' series. It received mixed reviews and weak sales.
** ''Shira Oka: Second Chances'' was meant to be an unofficial fan-made spiritual successor to ''Tokimeki Memorial'', but in English. It began development around 2005, but the full game was not released to the public until December 2010. Therefore, the title of "first fan-made spiritual successor in English with a commercial release" goes to the independent game ''Summer Session''.
* ''VisualNovel/UminekoWhenTheyCry'' is a spiritual sequel to the two-installment ''VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry''. It shares many elements with ''Higurashi'': written by the same person, [[spoiler:GroundhogDayLoop that loops at the beginning of each new arc]], and [[WhamEpisode spikes]] from happy scenes to horrific scenes; however, it's in an entirely new setting: instead of a small, secluded village, it takes place on an island owned by a multi-million-yen family with new characters. It does have a couple {{Continuity Nod}}s, however, in the form of [[spoiler:Bernkastel and Lambdadelta]]. But that hasn't stopped the fans from theorising that there is a connection between the series, especially since [[spoiler:Bernkastel has been confirmed to be an amalgamation of all the Rikas who never made it past June of 1983]], plus Higurashi was labeled When They Cry 1 & 2 (Higurashi and Higurashi Kai) while Umineko is When They Cry 3 & 4 (Umineko and Umineko Chiru). This might indicate a closer connection between the series.
* The ''[[VisualNovel/NineHoursNinePersonsNineDoors Zero]] [[VisualNovel/VirtuesLastReward Escape]]'' series can be seen as a spiritual sequel to the Infinity series (which includes ''VisualNovel/{{Never7}}'' and ''VisualNovel/{{Ever17}}''), including similar themes about existence and involve a shady pharmaceutical company.

A Spiritual Successor is a type of sequel that is not part of the same world or story as its predecessor, but is nonetheless considered to be a successor because it shares common themes, styles, and elements, and may even be made by the same creators. In other words, it’s a sequel “in spirit”.

%%* ''Sweet Apple Massacre'' could be considered this to ''Fanfic/{{Cupcakes}}''.
%%** There's also ''Muffins'', ''Dresses'' and ''Pattycakes''.
%%** ''Dipper Goes to Taco Bell'' has gain the same notoriety as ''Cupcakes''.
* ''Fanfic/SkyholdAcademyYearbook seems'' to be this to the ''VideoGame/DragonAgeInquisition'' medieval AU duology "The Lions of Grand Forest," written by the same authors. However, it's actually the reverse; ''Skyhold Academy'', the first story in the ''Yearbook'' series, was written before ''The Lady and the Lion,'' the first half of "Lions." The authors initially had no intention of publishing ''Skyhold Academy'', so the similarities between the two stories weren't considered a problem. JustForFun, therefore, the later installments of ''Yearbook'' contain a number of vague references which imply that ''The Lady and the Lion'' is actually a RealPersonFic written by two of the school's students. It's entirely up to the reader which is better.
* ''Fanfic/ForLoveOfMagic'' has enough parallels to ''Fanfic/PartiallyKissedHero'' to be called this. Both are fanfics with a sociopathic Harry whose racist against Muslims (and others), attracts women to him like flies, has the masquerade be shattered wide open, and to top it all off potentially interesting ideas are sprinkled in between all of the above. Both fics spend a lot of time tearing into aspects of the Harry Potter community (though while the former goes after canon the latter goes after fanon).
* ''Fanfic/GhostOfYou'' is one for the infamous ''Fanfic/MyImmortal'', since it features the same EmoTeen motifs and the eternal war of goths and preps and was in fact Tara Gilesbie's and Raven's final collaboration.
* ''Fanfic/{{Luminosity}}'' is doing to the ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'' universe what ''Fanfic/HarryPotterAndTheMethodsOfRationality'' did to the ''Literature/HarryPotter'' universe--that is, take the main character, make him/her intelligent and rational, and [[AlternateUniverseFic write the story from there]]. Bella isn't quite as much of a SelfInsert, though.
* ''Fanfic/MyBravePonyStarfleetMagic'' is considered this to ''Webcomic/{{Sonichu}}''. However, while the first installment of ''Unicorn'' is considered SoBadItsGood (the rest of the series, [[{{Sequelitis}} not so much]]), ''Sonichu''... [[Horrible/WebComics isn't]].
* [[http://www.fimfiction.net/user/Animegx43 Animegx43]]'s ''Twilight Sparkle: Ace Attorney'' series has been described as a spiritual successor to ''WebAnimation/TurnaboutStorm'', by one of the people who worked on ''Turnabout Storm''.
* ''Fanfic/WarriorsRedux'' is a FixFic based on ''Literature/WarriorCats'' but the dramatic changes make it more closer to the 1980s book ''Literature/TailchasersSong'' (even more so than the source series). The writer was inspired by ''Literature/WatershipDown'', which also inspired ''Tailchaser's Song'', thus making ''Warriors Redux'' into essentially "''Watership Down'' but [[RecycledInSpace with cats]]".
* ''Fanfic/JWITCHSeason1'' is this to ''Fanfic/GuardiansWizardsAndKungFuFighters'', both being crossovers between ''WesternAnimation/JackieChanAdventures'' and ''WesternAnimation/{{WITCH}}'' that involve the Chan Clan being brought in to train the new Guardians. The author of the former even directly references the latter as an inspiration.

[[folder:Pinballs]]
* ''[[Pinball/BlackKnight Black Knight 2000]]'' is not only a sequel to ''Black Knight'', it's also a spiritual sequel to ''Pinball/{{Flash}}'', as they share the same lightning motif, ''Black Knight 2000'''s layout is nearly similar to ''Flash'', and programmer Ed Boon released pictures of the whitewood, which showed that "B-L-A-C-K" was "F-L-A-S-H" at one point.
* ''VideoGame/DevilsCrush'' is a rethemed sequel to ''VideoGame/AlienCrush''.
* ''VideoGame/EpicPinball'' is an unofficial sequel to ''VideoGame/{{Silverball}}'', both of which were developed by James Schmalz of Digital Extremes. The MissionPackSequel ''Silverball Plus 2'' even recycles two ''Epic'' tables with minor changes.
** In turn, ''VideoGame/ExtremePinball'' is a Spiritual Successor to ''VideoGame/EpicPinball''.
* The Pro edition of ''Pinball/GameOfThrones'' is seen by many as a modern update to ''Pinball/F14Tomcat'' and ''Pinball/NoFearDangerousSports''. The Premium and Limited editions, on the other hand, invoke comparisons with ''Pinball/BlackKnight2000''.
* Designer Creator/JonNorris admits his games ''Bad Girls'' and ''Pinball/GoldenCue'' were attempts to modernize his favorite game, Creator/{{Bally}}'s ''Pinball/EightBall Deluxe.''
** As is ''Pinball/SharkeysShootout'', a modified version of ''Pinball/GoldenCue''.
** Similarly, Norris' ''Pinball/CueBallWizard'' contains so many {{Shout Out}}s to ''Pinball/EightBall Deluxe'' that it can be considered as one.
* ''Pinball/{{Krull}}'' is an updated version of ''Pinball/HauntedHouse''.
* ''VideoGame/LastGladiators'' is the unstated sequel to [=KAZe=]'s earlier ''VideoGame/SuperPinball'' games.
** In return, ''VideoGame/{{Necronomicon}}'' is the unstated sequel to ''VideoGame/LastGladiators''.
* ''Pinball/MagicGirl'' is mostly a follow-up to both ''Pinball/TheatreOfMagic'' and ''Pinball/TalesOfTheArabianNights,'' with a little bit of ''Pinball/CirqusVoltaire'' thrown in.
* ''Pinball/MedievalMadness'' is a medieval version of ''Pinball/AttackFromMars'', but with more jokes.
* Creator/SternPinball's ''[[Pinball/MustangStern Mustang]]'' is this to ''Pinball/{{Corvette}}'', with Creator/GeorgeGomez involved in the development of both games.
* ''Pinball/{{Paragon}}'' is unofficially a sequel to Creator/{{Bally}}'s earlier ''Lost World''; Creator/PaulFaris did the artwork for both games, and they feature the same {{winged|Humanoid}} BarbarianHero, DamselInDistress, and HeroicFantasy setting.
* ''Pinball/ThePartyZone'' is this for Creator/DennisNordman's earlier "Party" games (''Party Animal, Pinball/ElviraAndThePartyMonsters,'' and ''Pinball/DrDude''), using a CrossOver to bring them together.
* ''Pinball/RedAndTedsRoadShow'' is ''Pinball/FunHouse'' with '''[-TWO-]''' talking heads!
* ''Pinball/{{Rollergames}}'' is a spiritual sequel to 1986's ''Pinball/HighSpeed'' due to how the layout between both games are similar.
* ''Pinball/SafeCracker''[='=]s board game concept would later be used in the ''Pinball/{{Monopoly}}'' pinball (both by Creator/PatLawlor).
* Most players consider ''Pinball/TheSopranos'' to be a refined version of ''Pinball/MonsterBash''
* In addition to being an obvious successor to ''Pinball/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'', many players feel that Creator/SternPinball's ''[[Pinball/StarTrekStern Star Trek]]'' (also by Creator/SteveRitchie) is a Spiritual Successor to his 2007 ''[[Pinball/SpiderManStern Spider-Man]]''.
* ''Pinball/Terminator3RiseOfTheMachines'' is a borderline example, since both this game and the ''Pinball/{{Terminator 2|JudgmentDay}}'' pinball share the same licensee and the same creator, but are released by different companies. Whether this makes them direct sequels or not depends on how one defines "successor".
** ''Pinball/{{ACDC}}'' is a spiritual successor to ''Pinball/{{Terminator 2|JudgmentDay}}''.
* ''Pinball/TronLegacy'' shares most of its layout with ''Pinball/FunHouse'', with the Rudy shot and the middle shot switched. The rules are entirely different though.
* ''Pinball/{{Whirlwind}}'' is ''Pinball/{{Earthshaker}}'' [-WITH A FAN AND DIFFERENT GAMEPLAY!-]
** Creator/SegaPinball's ''Twister'' is a Spiritual Successor to ''Pinball/{{Whirlwind}}'', complete with blowing fan.
