* In ''ChronoTrigger'', Crono gets arrested fairly early in the game.  You can either wait three days until your execution or you can attempt to escape by ticking off the guards.  It is considerably easier to wait three days due to [[BigDamnHeroes some well-timed intervention]].
** An earlier example:  While Marle is getting candy at the Millennial Fair, don't move.  Specifically, don't move away from her, but it's way easier just to wait fifteen seconds.
* Almost any time you're captured and imprisoned in a ''MetalGear'' game, one of the options to escaping is to wait for someone to bust you out.
* In ''MetalGearSolid2'', the first Dead Cell member that you fight has a magnetic barrier preventing bullets and such from hurting her.  The only way to complete the battle is to wait and avoid her rail gun shots.
* In ''MetalGearSolid3'', one boss can be defeated just by waiting out the battle due to the boss being so damn old.  Alternatively, just save, change your PS2's internal clock to a week in the future, load your save, and pat yourself on the back.
** Similarly, a later boss can be "defeated" by just waiting while underwater, thus drowning yourself.  It's a ''MindScrew'' boss, but it's expected given the series title.
* One of the microgames in the [[WarioWare WarioWare Inc.]] stage of [[SuperSmashBros Super Smash Bros Brawl]] requires you to stand completely still to receive a bonus.
