* ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog'':

* ''VideoGame/GarfieldsFunFest'': The levels preceding the final two are flying stages, which control similarly to the Odie-riding stages. Garfield and Odie use a triangle-shaped paraglider to travel across an alpine forest in one level, and across the upper part of their home city in the other.

* In ''VideoGame/KidIcarus'', Pit can't fly with his normal wings, but uses many items for different variations of video game flight. The Angel Feather is a BottomlessPitRescueService that only last a few seconds in the first game and short last method of quick travel in the second, The Wings Of Icarus from Smash Bros Brawl can be used anytime but still fade in seconds, [[Videogame/KidIcarusUprising Uprising's]] Miracle Of Flight [[RailShooter moves him where it wants]] for up to five minutes, and finally the Wings Of Pegasus let Pit fly wherever he wants whenever he wants, limiting them to the end game.

** ''VideoGame/PokemonScarletAndViolet'' has a WarpWhistle feature to fast travel between cities, or from a route or even a cave to a city but you can also unlock gliding on Koraidon or Miraidon after defeating several of the titan Pokemon. It’s still gliding in reality but enables the player character to combine it with the mount’s climbing ability to go anywhere on the map. The exception is in the endgame. You’re forced to walk down the crater of Paldea because your mount is afraid and won’t leave it’s poke ball. You can glide in the crater post-game though.

*** There's a P-balloon item that lets Mario float, but at a very slow speed, that will lose effectiveness after a while and drops him like a rock if he so much as brushes up against anything that can hurt him. This culminates in [[ThatOneLevel "Tubular"]], the second stage of the hidden Special Zone, a level built entirely around the use of this powerup to float over a vast BottomlessPit, and easily considered to be the hardest level in the game.

* ''VideoGame/TheSacredArmourOfAntiriad'':Once the gravity displacers have been collected, the anti-rad suit can take to the sky. This is important, because the anti-rad suit cannot move any other way than by flight. The suit cannot be damaged, but taking what should be damage does drain its energy. If the energy meter reaches zero, the suit becomes inoperable until it receives a new recharge cell.
