Big Little Brother / Video Games

• AI: The Somnium Files: Tama is technically six years younger than Aiba, but looks the part of a fully-grown woman compared to Aiba's petite, teen-like physique. Then again, they're both AI, so theoretically it's easy to change up their looks.
• Bugsnax: Snorpy is taller than his older sibling, Floofty, mainly because he's got long legs while they have long arms.
• Chantelise: Chante is the older sister to Elise, but also the one who gets turned into a tiny little fairy when they go off into the night to see something they were warned against.
• In Chicory: A Colorful Tale, Radish assumes that Clementine's older than Pizza because she's twice their height, but Pizza corrects Radish, saying that Clementine's their younger sister.
• Light example with Crash Bandicoot. Coco is often slightly taller and significantly more intelligent and sane than her "big brother" Crash (granted this depends on the creative team, in Crash: Mind Over Mutant for example she is shorter than Crash and almost as demented and childish as he is).
• Darksiders, the protagonist of original game, War, is the youngest of his siblings that make up the Horsemen of the Apocalypse, but he's also the largest and physically strongest, though the oldest of them, Death, is the most powerful overall. Note that War being the largest doesn't make the others "small" by any means; even the sole female Fury is comparable to a fully-grown normal human man.
• Donkey Kong:
  • Tiny Kong is an interesting example. She is the little sister of Dixie Kong that made her debut in Donkey Kong 64, and her original design resembled that of a little girl. When she appeared in Diddy Kong Racing DS, she was redesigned into a teenager, and is now much taller and looks older than her older sister. Some may not know however, that Tiny has always been taller than Dixie, as Tiny is a whole head taller than Diddy in DK64^note Measured by comparing their models in the multiplayer mode., and Diddy and Dixie are the same size.
  • Also from Donkey Kong 64 is K. Lumsy, who is the younger brother of King K. Rool, according to the game's Japanese manual. K. Lumsy is absolutely gigantic in size compared to K. Rool.
• By the time Drakengard 2 rolls around Seere's younger twin sister Manah is much taller than him. Justified, considering that A: there's been a Time Skip of 18 years, and B: Seere is The Ageless and Manah isn't.
• Final Fantasy VIII has a Summon of two minotaur brothers which make use of this trope. Of course after you fight the first one and he goes to get his Big Brother, it's alluded to that his Big Brother is literally bigger than he.
• Fire Emblem Engage: Fogado is noticeably taller than his older sister Timerra, being 5'10 and 5'3 respectively. Justified, as they're only one year apart (17 and 18) and are opposite genders.
• God of War: Zeus, while the youngest of his siblings (though much in Classical Mythology, he looks older than them) is also probably the largest of the Olympians, and much in the original myths, embodies Rank Scales with Asskicking.
  • Although this is complicated by Hades, the oldest, who generally appears to be about thirty feet tall to Zeus' eight. However, the Olympians have the ability to grow to a giant size-and when Zeus uses his he is well over fifty feet. (Poseidon utterly dwarfs both of them during his boss fight, but it isn't his physical body)
• In Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, Lance Vance is shown to be taller than his older brother Vic.
• The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild:
  • Prince Sidon is rather tall even by Zora standards (with the adult Zoras all being a few heads taller than Link), while his late older sister Mipha was a head shorter than Link. Though it's unclear if that's partly because she never reached her adult height like he certainly has. Furthermore, even as a toddler Sidon's head-tail appendage was already long enough to be dragging on the ground past his feet in contrast to his sister's shorter head-tail, implying that he would have gotten taller than her regardless of her death.
  • Played with in regards to Purah and Impa. Impa is the younger sister, but looks like she could pass as Purah's great-grandmother due to the latter's reverse-aging experiment having Gone Horribly Right. They're still around the same height though due to Impa being a Miniature Senior Citizen. This is Averted in Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, however, where they are shown to be approximately the same height in their youth.
• Mafia II only lampshades this with the Achievement Big Brother, though the wiki states that this is a misnomer as Vito is actually 4 years younger than Francesca.
• In Mary Skelter: Nightmares, Thumbelina is the oldest and (fittingly enough) the smallest between herself, Sleeping Beauty, and Snow White. She has a major complex about it too, which Jack discovers the hard way.
• Mother 3 has the enemies Big Bro and Little Big Bro. The latter's description reads, "Adjective wise, he's caught between his size and his age. It's all very confusing."
• Namu Amida Butsu! -UTENA-: Seishi Bosatsu is the tallest character in the game at 190cm, while his older brother Kannon Bosatsu is just 176cm. You can really see how big the former is every time they stand next to each other.
• In the Neptunia series, Nepgear is slightly taller and much more mature than her older sister Neptune to the point where she is often mistaken as the older sister. Much to the latter's annoyance.
• In Ōkami, the Sparrow Clan leader Jamba has two children, Chun and Tai. Chun is shorter than the adult Sparrows but is the elder sister, while Tai is twice as tall as the adults (and in a further bit of characterization irony, he's also a bit of a crybaby).
• Old School Musical: Rob is much taller than his seven years older big brother Tib, and the first chapter shows this has been the case since he was three and Tib was ten.
• Pokémon Sun and Moon gives us Lillie, who is very subtly taller than her brother Gladion but is noticeably taller than the protagonist and Hau. The Anime of the Game as well as the Updated Re-release Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, however, shrink her down so any other male child is taller than her (but slightly so).
• Played with in the Super Mario Bros. series. Luigi is taller than Mario and has his own moments of impressive heroism, but they are actually twins according to Yoshi's Island, and he is also rather cowardly and frequently lives in his older brother's shadow.
• Undertale has Papyrus, who's taller and more responsible than his older brother Sans. However, he's also more naive and youthfully exuberant, so it's not too much of a surprise that he's the younger sibling. The Genocide route also shows that, while Papyrus is physically stronger, Sans is the more effective fighter by a country mile.
• Yakuza has the two Akai brothers, who lead the Bloody Eye color gang. The names in the original were confusing (the "Big" was relegated to the quick and nimble Dance Battler, the "Little" was relegated to the big and brawny guy who relies on Good Old Fisticuffs), but in the Kiwami remake, it's Elder and Younger instead.
