* ''Manga/HimechanNoRibon'' has a variation on this. The titular MagicalGirl isn't the princess, but it's her job to test out the magic ribbon Erika, her magic world counterpart, created to prove that Erika is worthy as a princess.

Not all magical travelers have this plot element - some of them just visit earth out of curiosity (e.g. ''Anime/MahouTsukaiChappy''), some arrive by accident (e.g. ''Anime/MahouShojoLalabel'') and others are sent there to make it a better place or reconnect it with their home realm which may be in jeopardy but don't have the Queen competition element (so this trope doesn't include Princesses who would become queen anyway regardless of if they ever visited the planet e.g. ''Anime/MagicalPrincessMinkyMomo'', ''Anime/SallyTheWitch'' and ''Anime/MahouNoMakoChan'' who are magical princesses and Earth visitors, but aren't being specifically tested, don't count -- Sally ''does'' have magical tests, but these are in regards to her magical skills rather than her queenly aptitude). Note if the MagicalGirl in question never leaves her realm but is still competing for Queendom then she probably does count, but visiting Earth is fairly common to this trope.

* ''Film/PansLabyrinth'' features easily one of the darkest examples of the trope. A girl named Ofelia, who lives in the times of the Spanish Civil War, must go through three dangerous trials to prove to the Faun that her "essence" is still intact, and she is worthy to return to the Underworld as Princess Moanna, all while dodging her sadistic Fascist step-father. [[spoiler:In the end, she's shot to death by said stepfather - but, [[BittersweetEnding happily]], death turns out to be a requirement of [[FridgeBrilliance being a Princess of the Underworld]].]] WordOfGod says that the whole deal ''truly'' happened in story, and the Underworld and the Faun weren't simply the product of Ofelia's imagination as she tried to cope [[BreakTheCutie with her terrible life]] [[spoiler: and later her own death.]]

* Lumi of ''Music/{{Vocaloid}}'' is a jellyfish shrine maiden who is set to become the Goddess of Shinkei, a land on the seabed of Kamakura. In order to be considered worthy, she has come to Earth to transform 1,000 of humanity’s "seeds of anguish" into "seeds of hope".

* ''VisualNovel/LongLiveTheQueen'': The PlayerCharacter is a princess who needs to learn the skills required to become queen (due to her mother having died), and possesses capacity for becoming a Lumen (the setting's equivalent of a magical girl). However, the skills required tend to be [[BoringButPractical finance, foreign affairs, and the like]], learning magical skills is optional (though useful), and the main test is [[NintendoHard surviving to coronation]] in the DecadentCourt.
