* While not exactly a weapon, a bicycle is available during a small section of ''Videogame/{{Earthbound}}''. The bike lets you get around faster in outdoor areas, is capable of outrunning most enemies, and comes with its own background music (with optional bell-ringing sound effects). Following on the heels of your new bike is a second party member, who renders your single-seat bike useless. Heck, the bike comes at a time when you can start buying teddy bears, which follow you like party members, and they render the bike useless too. This actually leads to one of the strangest secrets in the game: [[spoiler: a sound effect that can only be heard by riding the bike in the swamp. This is only possible by ''beating the final boss'', ditching all your partners in the extended epilogue, heading to the swamp, and, of course, remembering that you have an otherwise-useless bicycle in the first place.]]

** Whenever ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros'' gives you a Starman, you'll probably get a nice stretch of enemy-filled land to exercise your invincible bashing capabilities on.

* Slashers love to do that. ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry 4'' gives us Lucifer (a very interesting and unique weapon) and Pandora (a suitcase full of awesome) when it's almost time to say "Good-bye, Dante!" And this is why you get NewGamePlus and Bloody Palace.

* ''VideoGame/{{Makai Toshi SaGa}}'' (''The Final Fantasy Legend'') has the King equipment to collect in the very first world. [[PlotCouponThatDoesSomething It is some of the best equipment in the game, but you have to give it up to advance the plot]].

* ''VideoGame/JediAcademy'' has the duel sabers/saber staff/[[StanceSystem three style]] single saber option only usable in the last set of missions. Mods exist to allow you to use them from the start of the game ''Jedi Academy'' also features a neat but mostly useless and forgettable little trick with Tauntauns in the first Hoth level. There are a few fallen rocks where you are intended to abandon your initial ride (and have an encounter with a Wampa), but it is possible to use the Tauntaun's momentary boost to clear the rocks with it.

* In the first ''ShinMegamiTensei'', Law-path players are granted three outrageously powerful seraph companions for a time in the final dungeon. However, they have to give them up in order to fuse a necessary MacGuffin.

* Slashers love to do that. ''Franchise/DevilMayCry 4'' gives us Lucifer (a very interesting and unique weapon) and Pandora (a suitcase full of awesome) when it's almost time to say "Good-bye, Dante!" And this is why you get NewGamePlus and Bloody Palace.
