225 | * ''Penguin Land''[='s=] Japanese title is ''Doki Doki Penguin Land: Uchuu Daibouken'', which means "Doki Doki Penguin Land: Outer Space Adventure." That's right: the game is literally ''Doki Doki Penguin Land'' [-IN SPACE!-] |

258 | * ''[[VideoGame/TokyoXtremeRacer Shutokou Battle]]''[[note]]Prior to Dreamcast versions[[/note]] is ''VideoGame/RidgeRacer'' [-[[TokyoIsTheCenterOfTheUniverse IN TOKYO]]-]! |
259 | * ''VideoGame/SidMeiersAlphaCentauri'' is more of an aversion (and even an inversion), since, while sharing the basic mechanics of Meier's previous ''VideoGame/{{Civilization}}'' series, the game introduces a lot of new concepts that simply weren't present in the previous two instalments of the ''VideoGame/{{Civilization}}'' series, but '''were''' included in later versions - borders and advanced social policies just to mention two. The fact that the game spends more time on another planet than in space adds to this. |
260 | ** From a story standpoint, it makes sense, since game lore hints that the rocket launch victory in ''VideoGame/{{Civilization}}'' ends up being the ''UNS Unity'', the colony ship from ''VideoGame/SidMeiersAlphaCentauri''. |
261 | * ''VideoGame/{{Singularity}}'' is ''VideoGame/BioShock'' [-IN SOVIET RUSSIA, WITH TIME TRAVEL!-] |
262 | * ''VideoGame/SINoALICE'' is revealed by the ending for its Taiwanese and Global servers to be ''[[spoiler:VideoGame/{{Omori}}]]'' [-WITH FAIRY TALE CHARACTERS!-] |

264 | * ''VideoGame/SnowBros'' is ''VideoGame/BubbleBobble'' [-WITH SNOWMEN!-] (One Korean bootleg of ''Snow Bros.'' was titled ''The Winter Bobble''.) |
265 | * ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'': |
266 | ** ''VideoGame/SonicAndTheSecretRings'' is ''VideoGame/SonicAdventure'' [-IN ARABIA-]! |
267 | ** Likewise, ''VideoGame/SonicAndTheBlackKnight'' is ''VideoGame/SonicAndTheSecretRings'' [-IN MEDIEVAL TIMES-]! [-AND WITH SWORDFIGHTING-]! |
268 | ** Both ''VideoGame/SonicAndTheBlackKnight'' and ''VideoGame/SonicAndTheSecretRings'' were originally planned to be part of a [[PortalBook Storybook Series]] with more Sonic games following this pattern, but sales of these two games were lackluster, making a third Storybook game unlikely. |
269 | ** Both ''VideoGame/SonicAdventure'' games parody this trope with posters for movies called ''Chao in Space'' and ''Chao in Space 2''. ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2006'' (Xbox 360/[=PS3=]) later continues this with ''Chao in Space 3''. ''Chao in Space'' became an [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=69zTLvF8ajc actual animated short]] in December 2019. |
270 | ** Look at the architecture for the Death Egg in ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2''. It is quite literally ''Chemical Plant'' [-IN SPACE-]! |
271 | ** ''VideoGame/SonicColors'' is ''VideoGame/SonicUnleashed'' (minus the Werehog) and ''VideoGame/SonicRush'' [-IN SPACE (FOR THE WII AND DS, RESPECTIVELY)-]! It works out pretty well, though. |
272 | ** ''VideoGame/SonicGenerations'' seems to be going the route of ''VideoGame/SonicUnleashed'' and ''VideoGame/SonicRush'', but [-IN OLD SONIC LEVELS (FOR THE [=PS3=] / 360 AND 3DS RESPECTIVELY) PLUS SOME CLASSIC-STYLE PLATFORMING FOR BOTH VERSIONS!-] |
273 | ** The current formula for Sonic levels introduced with ''VideoGame/SonicUnleashed'' Day levels is arguably ''VideoGame/SonicRush'' [-IN 3D-][[note]]But it doesn't really count as a VideoGame3DLeap[[/note]]! |
274 | * ''VideoGame/SouthParkTheStickOfTruth'' is ''VideoGame/PaperMario''...[-IN THE [[{{WesternAnimation/SouthPark}} SOUTH PARK]] UNIVERSE!-] |
275 | * ''VideoGame/SpaceAce'' is ''VideoGame/DragonsLair'' [-IN SPACE!-] |
276 | * VideoGame/SpaceQuest is the [[DeadpanSnarker snarkier]], slightly raunchier, and somewhat DarkerAndEdgier little brother of VideoGame/KingsQuest. |
277 | * ''VideoGame/SpaceSiege'' ''is VideoGame/DungeonSiege'' [-IN SPACE WITH CYBERNETICS-]! |
278 | * ''VideoGame/{{Spidersaurs}}'' ''is VideoGame/{{Contra}}'' [-AS A [[SaturdayMorningCartoon SATURDAY MORNING CARTOON]]-]! |
279 | * ''VideoGame/{{Starbound}}'' is ''VideoGame/{{Terraria}}'' [-IN SPACE!-] and shares some of the same staff, though Starbound has a much larger team than its predecessor. |

282 | ** ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'' is ''VideoGame/{{Dwarf Fortress}}'' [-IN 3D!-] |
283 | * ''VideoGame/StarCraft'' is "''[[DefiedTrope not]]'' ''VideoGame/{{Warcraft}}'' [-IN SPACE-]! [[MemeticMutation It's]] [[StopPokingMe much more sophisticated]]!" However, many elements introduced in ''Starcraft'' were reused in ''Warcraft 3'', along with further refinements -- such as the Undead, who are essentially the Zerg [-NOT IN SPACE-]! |
284 | * ''VideoGame/StarFoxAdventures'' became ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'' [-IN SPACE-]! (it even had the same you-just-solved-a-puzzle music) when [[ExecutiveMeddling Nintendo replaced the setting]] with ''VideoGame/StarFox'' characters and also made it a game that didn't please the fans of the series at all. Before that, it was more like ''Zelda'' [-WITH FURRIES-]!, something Rare has done quite a few times with more success (''Mario 64''-> ''Banjo-Kazooie'', ''VideoGame/MarioKart'' -> ''Diddy Kong Racing'', not to mention the older ''VideoGame/DonkeyKong'' games). |
285 | * ''Star General'' is ''VideoGame/PanzerGeneral'' [-IN SPACE!-] |

296 | * ''Super Cobra'' is ''VideoGame/{{Scramble}}'' [-WITH A HELICOPTER!-] |
297 | * ''VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy'' is ''VideoGame/SuperMario64'' [-IN SPACE, AND IN LINEAR LEVELS-]! [[Administrivia/TropesAreTools Although it works out pretty well]]. |
