1* In ''VideoGame/EliteBeatAgents'' and ''VideoGame/OsuTatakaeOuendan'', the way the Agents/Ouendan enter are different sometimes. For example, the agents could drive in on motorcycles, and the Ouendan are in a hot spring. The scene also differs slightly based on difficulty, changing elements like what type of ladder the Agents descend on, or what type of book the Ouendan are reading.
2* ''VideoGame/TheJackboxPartyPack'': Several of the mini-games have randomly-chosen openings and introductory spiels for the host, such as the different images that appear in the intro to ''Trivia Murder Party'' and its sequel.
3* On the main menu of ''VideoGame/NightmareRealm: In The End...'', glowing graffiti fills in ''what'' will happen "in the end", switching between different possible grim ("love must die"), hopeful ("light will be shed"), or ambiguous ("who will prevail?") outcomes.
4* At the title screen of each ''VideoGame/KaizoMarioWorld'', Mario is trapped between two pillars of blocks with an inescapable Thwomp above him, each slightly different. [[spoiler: The first game positions it so that you won't die unless you jump, the second game inverts this (you have to jump in the right spot to activate an invisible block that stops the Thwomp from hitting you), and the third game puts a pit below you (though, like the first game, the text box will pop up before you fall off the screen).]]
5* In ''VideoGame/PokemonChannel'', Pikachu does a different animation every time the save file is loaded. This included him doing a ballet, standing on top of the cabinet, watching TV, and sleeping in the storage cabinet.
6* In ''VideoGame/DawnOfWar'' there is a random "thought of the day" at the bottom of context menus.
7* In ''VideoGame/{{Terraria}}'', when the game is in windowed mode one of a number of silly subtitles will be displayed next to the title, such as "Terraria: [[VideoGame/BarkleyShutUpAndJamGaiden Shut Up and Dig Gaiden]]!", "Terraria: [[VideoGame/{{Diablo}} There Is No Cow Layer]]" and "Terraria: [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment Terraria: Terraria:]]"
8* ''VideoGame/Portal2'' has different {{Loading Screen}}s that change when the game is launched. The main menu also has a different background depending on how far in the single-player campaign you are. The "deactivated [=GLaDOS=]" background is the default and is shown when you have not played the single-player campaign (co-op and custom maps).
9* The intros to the ''VideoGame/{{Borderlands}}'' games list off the names and classes of the Vault Hunters until they reach the fourth Vault Hunter, who is introduced with some other description.
10** ''Borderlands 1'': Roland as the Soldier, Lilith as the Siren, Mordecai as the Hunter and Brick as himself.
11** ''Borderlands 2'': Axton as the Commando, Maya as the Siren, Salvador as the Gunzerker and [=Zer0=] as a number.
12** ''Borderlands'': The Pre-Sequel!: Athena as the Gladiator, Willhelm as the Enforcer, Nisha as the Lawbringer and Claptrap as a mistake.
13** ''Borderlands 3'': [=FL3K=] as the Beastmaster, Moze as the Gunner, Amara as the Siren, and Zane Flynt as himselves.
14* In ''VideoGame/SuperMarioMaker'', each day of the week has something different happen to Builder Mario during the start of the game.
15** ''VideoGame/SuperMarioMaker2'' also has different openings that can happen when you boot up the game, but they are random, instead of being based on the day of the week.
16* ''VideoGame/TheBindingOfIsaac: [[VideoGameRemake Rebirth]]'' shows a random symbol upon starting a run. Some of them are MythologyGags referencing other Creator/EdmundMcMillen games or the original Flash version, but some hint at the game's various secrets, particularly involving the SecretCharacter.
17* ''VideoGame/Sacred2FallenAngel'' has a roster of about 300 joke messages on the LoadingScreen, ranging from shoutouts to false "deleting everything" messages to [[AIIsACrapshoot your computer acheiving sapience and snarking at you.]]
18* ''VideoGame/RhythmHeaven Megamix'' uses different character sprites during {{loading screen}}s, depending on how many you've unlocked by playing the "Feed the Goat" minigame.
19* ''VideoGame/FridayNightFunkin'': There are multiple phrases that show up at random in between the title screen and "in association with Newgrounds" screen. Said phrases include but are not limited to: "ultimate rhythm gaming -- probably", "newgrounds -- forever", "dope ass game -- playstation magazine", and "yooooooooooo -- yooooooooo".
20* ''VideoGame/FiendFolio'': There is fainted text above the main menu screen that says something different each time the menu is loaded. Possibilities include "Erfly[[note]][[SelfDeprecation One of the mod's developers]][[/note]] is stinky," "Please don't judge my code too much," and "Welcome to TV Tropes!"
