* And and after waiting for 10 years and all the trials and tribulations, beating all the bosses with all 34 characters, collecting all 716 items, doing all 44 challenges, and repeating it on 2 other save files, is there a more beautiful sight than [[spoiler: seeing [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/fif2scv.png this]]]]?

* Beating any run as [[OneHitPointWonder The Lost - both versions if you are playing Repentance]]. Especially if you beat Mega Satan, Hush, Mother,'''Delirium''' and '''THE BEAST''' with it. Give yourself a pat on the back; after what you've went through, you've earned it.

* A bit of a meta example, but on its release day, ''Rebirth'' topped Steam's sales charts, surpassing ''Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare''. To make that even more awesome, Steam's sales charts are based off of gross revenue. Considering ''Rebirth'' is only one fourth of ''Advanced Warfare''[='=]s price...

** Beating Hush, Delirium, Mother and the Beast normally is already enough of a challenge that it's awesome, so it's no doubt ''glorious'' to kill them using [[LethalJokeCharacter The Lost.]] A ridiculously difficult feat, but most definitely possible and amazing to pull off.
** The Godhead. When picked up, it gives Isaac homing tears with a huge damaging aura around them that straight-up melts most enemies. Even just unlocking it counts as an awesome moment in and of itself, as this requires beating ''every main boss in the game'' with the Lost, and if you installed any of the [=DLCs=], you have to beat ''their'' bosses with said character as well, making it more or less the ultimate BraggingRightsReward.

* Meta: The sheer amount of content. First, the Halloween free update. Then the ''Wrath of the Lamb'' expansion, which was two-thirds of the original game.

* Another meta example: former Nintendo of America head of indie relations, Dan Adelman, was thanked by the developers as the reason for ''Rebirth'' seeing release on the Nintendo eShop after the game's initial rejection in 2012. Adelman himself once stated that one of his regrets from his days at Nintendo was being forced to reject ''Binding of Isaac''[='=]s initial 3DS release, due to Nintendo's eShop content guidelines still being outdated and restrictive at the time. Thanks to some reforms Adelman was able to work out at Nintendo prior to leaving and starting his own company, ''Binding of Isaac'' was, at long last, able to see release on Nintendo platforms in 2015 in the form of the ''Rebirth'' version.

** Then ''[[UpdatedRerelease Rebirth]]'' raised the item count to +340 from the original's 100 or so of. And as of this writing, there's a ''Rebirth'' expansion in the works that will '''[[UpToEleven double the amount of content]]'''.
** The expansion, ''Afterbirth'', provides a special meta example in how it doesn't supplant Mega Satan as the TrueFinalBoss, making this the first major update or expansion that does not add a new TrueFinalBoss and defy precedent. Instead, we get a BonusBoss and an alternate mode with its own FinalBoss.
** And now with ''Repentance'' featuring all the Afterbirth+ and [[VideoGame/TheBindingOfIsaacAntibirth Antibirth]] content, we will get all the content of '''Antibirth''' and '''Afterbirth+''' in one game, and lots of Antibirth items, plus some entirely new stuff and items. By the time ''Repentance'' comes out we will likely have '''over 600''' official items in Issac. [[https://store.steampowered.com/app/1426300/The_Binding_of_Isaac_Repentance The official Steam page]] confirms it to be 700+.

* Defeating Isaac as the Blue Baby and unlocking the D6. An awesome item in its own right, this item lets the user re-roll any item pedestal in the room. Don't like it? Re-roll it! But what makes unlocking it all the more awesome is that it immediately becomes Isaac's starting item by default. This turns Isaac from a basic, mediocre, but well-rounded character into the closest thing you can get to a wild card without playing as Eden.
