* The appropriately titled episode, "[[Recap/LupinIIIS2E67 Lupin's Big Saiyuuki]]" of the Anime/LupinIIIPartII TV series, where the Lupin gang are cast as the characters from the tale. It's likely a {{Homage}} to ''Monkey'', which debuted shortly before the ''Lupin'' version came about. To be specific: Fujiko is Sanzo (carrying forward the gender-bending casting gag), Jigen is Hakkai, Goemon is Gojo, and Lupin is, of course, Son Goku.
* One episode of ''Anime/MegaManNTWarrior'' has the main characters infiltrating in the base of the bad guys during a costume party, and so they arrive in costume as the cast from ''Journey to the West'': Lan as Son Goku, Dex as Cho Hakkai, Yai as Sha Gojo, Maylu as Sanzo, Masa/Commander Beef as the Ox King and Yu/Misteryu and Sal/Black Rose as the White Dragon Horse.

* A Chinese crime lord in the Franchise/MarvelUniverse who'd taken the name of the Monkey King ventured into Sun Wukong's 'tomb' to claim the treasure Wukong had been buried with. There, he encountered the spirit of the real Monkey King, who gave him a test to see if he was worthy of his powers - break out of the hellish realm of the Eighth City. He succeeded, becoming Wukong's avatar, and inheriting his staff and powers, which he put to use fighting crime - having been to Hell, he really didn't want to go back.

* Various MultiplayerOnlineBattleArena have characters based on [[FountainOfExpies Wukong]] himself, it's almost an unwritten law that a MOBA would not be complete until they have a Wukong representation.
** The original ''VideoGame/DefenseOfTheAncients'' has Wukong become a secret boss and the first ''VideoGame/Dota2'' exclusive hero (whose Chinese voice actor was Sun Wukong in the 1986 AnimatedAdaptation).
** Monkey King from ''VideoGame/HeroesOfNewerth'' is based on, but not quite the exact Wukong from the literature.
** The actual Sun Wukong is also a playable character in ''VideoGame/{{Smite}}'' as the game is about CrossoverCosmology and Chinese Pantheon is included.
*** Also, their Wukong just to drive home allusions is also voiced by Creator/SeanSchemmel, the English voice of the aforementioned Wukong/Gokū from ''Dragon Ball''.
** ''VideoGame/HeroesOfTheStorm'' only has the Wukong reference via a Legendary skin of Samuro that turns him into a Wukong-like character, simply because Creator/BlizzardEntertainment has no major Wukong-like character throughout their games. The cancelled ''VideoGame/Paragon2016'' also featured a direct reference with its own hero named Wukong.
** The character Wukong the Monkey King in ''VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends''. He even has the [[ActorAllusion same]] [[Creator/MasakoNozawa Japanese voice]] as ''Franchise/DragonBall'''s version of Wukong/Gokū that everyone knows.
** Since ''VideoGame/HonorOfKings'' is based on Chinese figures from myth, stories and history, it goes without question that Sun Wukong is included as one of the heroes. Surprisingly, both Tang Sanzang (referred as Jin Chan) and Zhu Bajie also become available as heroes, along with the Bull Demon King Niu Mo Wang (Just rendered as 'Niu Mo'). Wukong is the only one who makes the jump to ''VideoGame/ArenaOfValor'' and he's the only returning heroes (aside of [[Literature/RomanceOfTheThreeKingdoms Lu Bu and Diaochan]]) who kept his default kit. When the game is given an actual international translation, only Wukong makes the jump as certain countries may find both Niu Mo and Bajie violating their cultures. Therefore, they're replaced with their ''VideoGame/ArenaOfValor'' counterparts (Lumburr and Ata, respectively). The jury's still out for Tang Sanzang/Jin Chan, because he's not anyone's counterpart.
** ''VideoGame/MobileLegendsBangBang'' features a monkey king hero with staff and the ability to produce clones to overwhelm his enemies, and lore-wise, he's also born from a particularly hard rock within [[{{Wutai}} Cadia Riverlands]]. His name is... Sun. Yeah, just Wukong's surname.
* Occasionally referenced in ''VideoGame/AsurasWrath'', where the main character, just like Son Goku, is sealed underneath a mountain for 500 years, and Augus's extendable blade is basically this to Son Goku's extendable staff.
** One of the more memorable scenes in ''VideoGame/AsurasWrath'' is referenced back in the climax of the most recent movie version of the story. Don't believe us? [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jBrcVawcsw Watch this side by side comparison and twist your head around that.]]

* The Monkey King antagonized the heroes a few times in ''WesternAnimation/JackieChanAdventures'', portrayed as ThePrankster who fancies himself as the King of Comedy. He is [[ForcedTransformation cursed with the form of a doll]] unless somebody pulls his leg, at which point Monkey King comes to life and the puller is trapped as a doll instead. This can be reversed if Monkey King pulls this person's leg himself, but since of course he'd never do that himself he has to be tricked.
** The irony here is that this version of him in Japanese is voiced by Creator/RyuseiNakao, who happens to be the voice of [[Franchise/DragonBall Frieza]]. Talk about having your voice portray a closer-to-original version of your nemesis.
