History BigEater / VideoGames

* Crono from ''VideoGame/ChronoTrigger'' can apparently drink around 13 bowls of prehistoric soup bigger that his head in 30 seconds. With [[MadeOfIron no repercussions]]!

*** In the UpdatedRerelease, Kasumi certainly counts. She is often shown to eat twice as much as Joker, who is given a few choices to comment on it. It is justified in the fact that she is a hard-working gymnast who needs the calories to perform at her best.

* Killia of ''VideoGame/Disgaea5'' is known to eat before a battle, occasionally delving into FoodPorn where he describes the meals in question. [[spoiler:It helps distract him from his personal doubts and keeps his repressed inner hatred at bay, but it's only a stopgap, as Chapter 12 sees him eating ever-increasing portions, up to and including '''whole dragons'''.]]

* ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters''/''VideoGame/FatalFury'':

** Another Pokémon family, Gulpin and Swalot, they are living stomachs with expandable mouths that swallow their food whole.

* In ''VideoGame/PokemonScarletAndViolet'', one of the few things [[{{Salaryman}} Larry]] shows enthusiasm for is lunch. You're introduced to him while he's eating at a restaurant, and he's hungry ''again'' after your gym battle with him. He treats the player to a meal for their victory, and the snapshot you get afterwards shows your character looking shocked at how many rice balls Larry ordered for himself.
* In ''VideoGame/PokemonSunAndMoon'', ''you'' are. The protagonist trainer can grab up to ''50 servings'' of food at the Battle Buffet, Buffet[[note]]You're given 10 turns to grab as much as you can, meaning you can grab 10 entrees if you manage all [=OHKOs=], and the maximum each entree can have is five servings.[[/note]], and scarfs down ''all'' of it after doing so. (Oh, and there's nothing keeping you from going to Mallow's restaurant right after that.)

** ''VideoGame/PokemonDiamondAndPearl'': Maylene. She mentions being hungry after you defeat her in Diamond & Pearl, but just how much she can eat wasn't discovered until we saw her in ''[[VideoGame/PokemonGoldAndSilver HeartGold & SoulSilver]]'', where she is scarfing down her ''ninth'' plate of food at the Celadon Diner EatingContest.

* Subverted in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIV''. While [[PlayerCharacter the Warrior]] can boast about trying to eat their own weight in carnival food, they bite off a little more than they can chew after the Exarch has them "crack the coinpurse" in Mord Souq to earn the trust of the locals. One Voeburtite honour buys forty loaves of Mushloaf (a bread stuffed with fruit), ten sides of Everburning Bounty (a very spicy meat dish), sixty-five Chewy Skewers (fire-roasted frogs), or fifteen jars of Glazed Wrigglers (honey-slathered worms) - and the Warrior tries to eat the ''whole purchase'' right there at the storefront. By the end, they can either force themselves to down the last serving with immense discomfort, or give up and hand the rest to the merchants as free food. Whether they qualify for the "thin" or "fat" subtypes depends on the race you choose: Elezen, Au Ra, Viera, and Hyur Midlanders are skinny, Lalafell are short but somewhat thicker relative to their height, Hyur Highlanders and female Roegadyn and Hrothgar are muscular, and male Roegadyn and Hrothgar are broad.

* Subverted in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIV''. While the Warrior can boast about trying to eat their own weight in carnival food, they struggle to get countless servings of Mord Suuq's ForeignQueasine down after the Exarch has them "crack the coinpurse" to earn the trust of the locals. By the end, they can either force themselves to eat the last serving with immense discomfort, or give up and hand the rest to the merchants as free food. Whether they qualify for the "thin" or "fat" subtypes depends on the race you choose: Elezen, Au Ra, Viera, and Hyur Midlanders are skinny, Lalafell are short but somewhat thicker relative to their height, Hyur Highlanders and female Roegadyn are muscular, and male Roegadyn and Hrothgar[[labelnote:*]]Hrothgar do not yet have a female option as of this writing[[/labelnote]] are broad.

** The Warrior of Light of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIV'' is a subversion. While they can boast about trying to eat their own weight in carnival food, the Warrior struggles to get countless servings of Mord Suuq's ForeignQueasine down after the Exarch has them "crack the coinpurse" to earn the trust of the locals. By the end, they can either force themselves to eat the last serving with immense discomfort, or give up and hand the rest to the merchants as free food.

** VideoGame/{{Wario}} is even worse than Mario in this regard: many cutscenes in ''VideoGame/WarioWare'' games show him eating sweets on his couch (to the point [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome he ends up destroying his teeth]] in one of them), and ''VideoGame/WarioLand4'' ends on him going to an eating contest. [[GameplayAndStoryIntegration This is weaponized]] in ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'', where he can eat items and projectiles for a small healing benefit. Eating explosives and [[ExtremeOmnivore his motorcycle]] allows him to build up strength for his [[{{Fartillery}} Wario Waft]] more quickly.

** ''VideoGame/SuperMarioWorld'' marks the debut of Yoshi. In every game where he appears, he can swallow enemies (most of them) and depending on the game, make use of what he eats, gaining powers in some cases, spitting them at other enemies in other cases, or in still other cases using them to produce eggs to use as projectiles.

** VideoGame/{{Wario}} is even worse than Mario in this regard: many cutscenes in ''VideoGame/WarioWare'' games show him eating sweets on his couch (to the point [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome he ends up destroying his teeth]] in one of the games), and ''VideoGame/WarioLand4'' ends on him going to an eating contest. [[GameplayAndStoryIntegration This is weaponized]] in ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'', where he can eat items and projectiles for a small healing benefit.

* [[VideoGame/WarioLand Wario]], in ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'', can eat items and projectiles for a small healing benefit. Eating explosives and [[ExtremeOmnivore his motorcycle]] allows him to build up strength for his [[{{Fartillery}} Wario Waft]] more quickly.

** Concerning Kris, they tend to steal food during night (to the point Toriel has to innovate in ways to protect her pies and to warn the local shopkeeper to keep chocolate away from them), and when they are locked in, you can decide to make them eat moss, and unlike many decisions you make in the game, they don't seem to mind.

** Mario himself really likes-a his pasta. Also, seafood in ''VideoGame/SuperMarioSunshine''. It is made more evident in the [[WesternAnimation/SuperMarioBrosDic DiC cartoons]] though, then we find out that his much thinner brother Luigi can put on food even more than he does...

%%** ''VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiBowsersInsideStory'': [[StoutStrength Bowser]].

* ''VideoGame/{{Deltarune}}'': Both Kris (thin) and Susie (big) have the reputation to be ObsessedWithFood. This tends to be justified as they are teenagers:
** Concerning Kris, they tend to steal food during night, and when they are locked, you can decide to make them eat moss, and unlike many events in the game, they don't seem to mind.
** Susie goes even further, as a significant part of her dialogues consist of analyzing if some items can be eaten, [[ExtremeOnivore and she's not kidding]] to the point the following mentions are only stretching the surface: she's been seen eating chalk, she mentioned drinking a plate of milk in a backstreet, and she tends to threat to eat people's faces. Her case may be more dramatic, as the chalk she's seen eating in Chapter 1 apparently was an improvised breakfast.

* The [[PandaingToTheAudience pandaren]] in ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft: Mists of Pandaria'' are an entire ''race'' of Big Eaters. In part because of that, most pandaren consider being fat a ''virtue'', and some will even say that your character could stand to gain a few pounds. (Indeed, fat pandaren seem to be [[{{Acrofatic}} barely slowed down]] by their extra weight.)

* ''VideoGame/BlazBlue'':

* In ''VideoGame/PokemonScarletAndViolet'', one of the few things [[{{Salaryman}} Larry]] shows enthusiasm for is lunch. You're introduced to him while he's eating at a restaraunt, and he's hungry ''again'' after your gym battle with him. He treats the player to a meal for their victory, and the snapshot you get afterwards shows your character looking shocked at how many rice balls Larry ordered for himself.

* Hilda's combat abilities in ''VideoGame/ShadowHearts 3'' actually justify her eating habits -- she casts from calories. And if her calories get high enough, she ends up both "curvy" (read: ridiculously round) and barely recognizable.

** Mario himself really likes-a his pasta. Also, seafood in ''VideoGame/SuperMarioSunshine''. It is made more evident in the [[WesternAnimation/SuperMarioBros cartoons]] though, then we find out that his much thinner brother Luigi can put on food even more than he does...
