* This naturally had to be executed at some point in the ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible'' episode "Hive Mind", in which she received red hypersonic speed sneakers.

** For the first time in video gaming history ever, an [[FirstPersonShooter FPS game]] has the water! But don't worry, it's actually the same friggin' floor, just with a gimmicky texture.

* There is a magic trick where a magician appears to walk across a pool, sometimes with people swimming underneith them. The trick involves walking on perspex blocks, which turn invisible if you get the angle of the audience and lighting right.

* Certain insects, like the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerridae Gerridae]], are capable of doing this thanks to cohesion (basically, they stand on the membrane the water's surface forms). Course, that's just plain ol' physics/chemistry, which as we all know well is ''not'' cool.
** I take it you never watched [[BillNyeTheScienceGuy Bill Nye]] as a kid?

* Gameloft's ''MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' video game has two locations, Ponyville and Canterlot. Both have rivers. In Canterlot, bridges exist over the rivers, and the ponies use them to cross. Ponyville has no bridges, no to build any. But it doesn't matter, because the Ponyville ponies can walk and stand on the rivers as if they were solid. (You can build ponds, though, and the ponies always detour around those.)

* The water walking potion in ''{{Terraria}}'' grants the player this ability.

* A would-be girlfriend to Twilight Sparkle in ''A Stitch in Time'' (sequel to ''[[EakinsHardReset Hard Reset]]'') tries to comprehend the idea of dating a mare who 'practically walks on water'. This being Twilight Sparkle, she does indeed do just this. And [[OnlyTheWorthyMayPass dares her to walk out onto the lake with her]].

** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX'' has one scene where Yuna performs a sending by walking out onto open water, then performing the traditional sending dance while the water rises into a column under her feet. It's never explained how she did that and she never does it again. Considering Yuna's [[TheMessiah role in the plot]], it was probably a case of WhatDoYouMeanItsNotSymbolic.\\\

* In ''Illusions'', [[TheMessiah Donald Shimoda]] does this trick to demonstrate his powers...and then follows it up by ''swimming in land''.

** There are other motivators - PepeLePew spots a "belle femme skonque" on an ocean liner out at sea, and rushes to her. "You know, I suddenly realized that I never learned to swim! Silly me...(glub)"

* Kida does this in ''Disney/AtlantisTheLostEmpire'' when she becomes possessed by the crystal.

* Twilight Sparkle do no walk, but she was standing on a pond in the Episode "Magic Duel"

** The new Death Knight class does it in a slightly different way, freezing the water below them.

* In ''VideoGame/{{Warcraft}} III: The Frozen Throne'', Illidan gained the ability to walk on water, since he teamed up with the amphibious Naga and needed to be able to move with them.

* In ''VisualNovel/HatofulBoyfriend'', Oko San attends swimming class, only to run across the pool's surface instead of swimming.

* In ''VisualNovel/HatofulBoyfriend'', Oko San attends swimming class, only to run across the pool's surface instead of swimming. Physics and Oko San have ''never'' been eye-to-eye.

* Real life aversion: A priest tried to prove that one could walk on water if one only had enough faith. He demonstrated using himself as the example. It didn't go as well as he expected,[[http://www.darwinawards.com/darwin/darwin1999-49.html earning him]] a [[DarwinAwards Darwin Award]].

* [[CaptainObvious Of course]], everyone can walk on water as long as it's solid.
