* ''VideoGame/EarthBound'' has the PSI Teleport spell, used by Ness and Poo, which allows you to go back to any location in the game that you've been to previously. Ness at first only has access to the Alpha variant of the spell, which requires you to do a running start in order to teleport, but gains access to PSI Teleport Omega after completing Magicant. (Poo has access to PSI Teleport Omega when he joins the party, and is in fact ''how'' he joins the party.)

* A facet of ''VideoGame/FridayThe13th'' that the game doesn't really advertise is that, by entering a small cabin, you can hit Start to return to the character selection screen, as each counselor occupies a random cabin in real time. This can be useful for when Jason is attacking someone all the way across the map from you, letting you reach the victim faster, or even allowing the victim to fight Jason off him/herself.

* A large number of [=RPGs=], especially {{Eastern RPG}}s, utilize some form of Dash Mode, usually offering an alternative between run and walk modes. Games which don't offer this usually expect you to RunDontWalk.
** Some games like the first ''VideoGame/{{Final Fantasy|I}}'' had a spell where you can teleport yourself out of a dungeon so you don't need to retrace your steps.

* ''Franchise/{{Splatoon}}'' enables players to skip swimming to the front-lines by [[InASingleBound Super Jumping]] to any of their allies. Players have to be strategic though; [[CrosshairAware your landing spot is clearly marked for enemies to camp]] unless you have equipment that negates it, the jump can be sped-up by using certain gear, and certain weapons come with the "Squid Beakon" deployable item that can be selected as a landing spot for the rest of the team.

* ''{{VideoGame/Arcanum}}'' has a number of fast-travel options, but they're all limited somehow:
** The train network lets you go to Tarant, Black Root and Ashbury, but not if you have the dog as one of your followers ([[GameBreaker and why wouldn't you?]]). Note that this isn't mentioned when buying the tickets, so you can only get partially refunded in addition to the whole rigamarole of "do you have a mage in your party" that happens every single time you take it.
** Once you GetOnTheBoat, you can only go to Tarant, Ashbury, Black Root and Caladon.
** Map fast-travel is the main method of exploration and travel, but is often interrupted by bandits and assassins (on the other hand, said interruptions are handy for getting gear than can be sold for decent prices). Travelling on foot is theoretically possible, but would take an absurd number of hours in real-time.

** ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild'': You can use the Sheikah Slate to instantly teleport to any Towers and Shrines you’ve found and registered, as well as the Shrine of Resurrection. The Master Trails DLC adds the obtainable Travel Medallion, which allows you to place a travel point anywhere in the overworld, but only one at a time.



** In at least some of the ''VideoGame/LeisureSuitLarry'' games, double-clicking on an exit will make Larry walk at hyperspeed.

** Ariadne's Thread, a consumable item that lets you teleport to pretty much any place in the game world, and is even used by NPC's after some of the main quests so you don't have to walk all the way back to the main quest giver NPC.

** ''[[VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoV GTA V]]'', on the other hand, has the Taxi already added to your contacts from the start, allowing you to take a cab to wherever you'd like for a price. Unlike ''GTA IV'', however, you'll always have to pay for your fare every time (unless you're Franklin and you buy the Downtown Cab Co side business, anyway).

** Even this is not fast enough for some, and so enterprising mod developers have created addons that allow creation of portal networks and instantaneous teleportation to user-definable waypoints.
* The first two ''VideoGame/SaintsRow'' titles have this in the form of the Taxi Service. By calling the number on a taxi (like you would in RealLife, so you might want to find a Taxi first or [[GuideDangIt hit up the Saints Row Wiki for the in-game numbers]]), you can have a Taxi come pick you up and take you wherever you want in Stilwater for a reasonable price.
** The [[VideoGame/SaintsRow2022 2022 Reboot]] succeeds this with a clever implementation of the game's PhotoMode. Simply taking a picture of Santo Ileso's landmarks (which are marked for you on the map this time around) unlocks new points for you to warp to or respawn at when you die.
