* VideoGame.KirbyAndTheRainbowCurse: "''Kirby and the Rainbow Curse'' (''Touch! Kirby Super Rainbow'' in Japanese, and ''Kirby and the Rainbow Paintbrush'' in British English) is the only ''{{Franchise/Kirby}}'' game for the UsefulNotes/WiiU, and a SpiritualSuccessor to ''VideoGame/KirbyCanvasCurse'' with similar gameplay using a claymation-esque graphical style with the addition of various transformations."

* VisualNovel.PhotoKano: "''Photo Kano'' (フォトカノ ''Foto Kano'', lit. "Photo Girlfriend") is a Japanese DatingSim video game developed by Dingo and Enterbrain, the latter being the same studio behind ''VideoGame/{{Kimikiss}}'' and ''VideoGame/{{Amagami}}'', making this its SpiritualSuccessor. "

* Film.TheHappytimeMurders: '''Multiple examples, all just comparing the film to other ones.'''
** It's been gaining comparisons to ''Film/MeetTheFeebles'', another film that gives us a darker look at puppets usually used in children's shows. The difference being that this film was made by the actual creators of ''The Muppets''.
** People have also compared the movie to ''WesternAnimation/SausageParty'', another R-rated film that could be easily mistaken for a kids' movie.
** It's very similar to ''Theatre/AvenueQ'', another dark, raunchy comedy that happens to involve muppets.
** The basic premise of a crime story involving characters from a stylized medium as real people and second-class citizens is similar to ''Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit''.
** An earlier movie called ''The Fuzz'' featured a puppet cop tracking down the dealers of a GRatedDrug (Jelly Beans rather than sugar), partnering with a human cop and dealing with anti-puppet prejudice. It was also of a darker, more adult tone.
* Literature.JokerGame: "To ''Anime/NightRaid1931'' which is a historical spy fiction set in the Showa Era prior to UsefulNotes/WorldWarII minus the PsychicPowers. Which is actually a recursive successor, as the first two D Agency novels (''Joker Game'' and ''Double Joker'') were published before ''Night Raid 1931'' began airing." '''Comparison to another work in a different medium, and then admits it's not even true because it was published first.'''
* Music.CNBlue: " When they debuted in Korea, they were immediately noted for sharing similar success and appeal as labelmates Music/FTIsland who had debuted about 2.5 years beforehand. Both promote alongside each other and have moulded their own distinct sounds and success since then." '''Fan comparison.'''


Added DiffLines:

* Recap.PhineasAndFerbJustOurLuck: "This episode likely served as the inspiration for ''WesternAnimation/MiloMurphysLaw'', which concerns a kid with bad luck and all the ways he works around it." '''Speculative comparison.'''

* Music.AMoonShapedPool: "Following the mixed response to their previous effort, the experimental, groove-based NewSoundAlbum ''The King of Limbs'', the slightly more conventional style of ''A Moon Shaped Pool'' was greeted with open arms upon its release and dubbed a return to form by fans and critics, with some even considering it to be the '''[[SpiritualSuccessor true follow-up]]''' to ''Music/InRainbows'' (which also boasted similarly lush production and reliant heavily on strings)."

SpiritualSuccessor is currently a mainspace trope. However, it's based on subjective interpretation and comparison. This is a Wick Check to see if the examples treat the trope as a subjective concept or not.
