** In an old version of PC Monopoly came on a 5 1/2" floppy, the limited AI meant that a player who made an offer to an AI then had to turn the machine over to the other human players, who would then vote in place of the AI making a decision. Needless to say, in a single player game, this could be abused relentlessly.

** [[spoiler: It goes UpToEleven in Biju Mode. Naruto has Bijudama now-which can literally wipe out islands and mountain ranges off the map. His speed is even faster than Nine-Tailed Chakra Mode. He can lift the 'Mini-Bijudama' in one hand and create Rasengans in one hand (when he wasn't able to do so before). His clones get all these attributes too, able to partially manifest Kurama or completely form him. He's the ''only'' character who made ''Madara'' get serious one-on-one.]]

* The NES version of ''{{Monopoly}}'' allows the player to make offers on AI players' property, which the AI will accept a certain percent of the time depending on how high the offer is. However, since there's no limit to how many times an offer can be made per turn, the player can repeatedly offer an extremely low amount for a property and the AI will eventually agree. Effectively, this means the player can take over the entire board with ease.

* A parachute can turn an [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egg_drop_contest egg-drop competition]] into a joke: if it can handle a ten-foot drop, a parachute-equipped egg can survive being dropped from any altitude up to the point where you need to worry about surviving orbital re-entry. Consequently, many egg-drop competitions [[ObviousRulePatch ban the use of parachutes]].

* YuGiOh: Noah's deck master Shinato's Ark is this all the way. First, whenever an opponent attacks Noah directly, he gets to special summon a monster in the Graveyard to block the attack, and can do this once for each monster in the Graveyard. Second, he can outright remove all the monsters in both Graveyards from play to gain 500 Life Points for each one. And then when the Ark is destroyed, Shinato itself is summoned. Whenever Shinato destroys a monster, the opponent's Life Points are cut in half and Noah's points increase by the same amount. When the opponent takes battle damage, Noah gains the same amount of points they lost. Whenever Shinato would be destroyed it moves back off the field into the Deck Master position, so it effectively cannot be destroyed. Oh, and it has 3300 ATK points. No wonder Noah became the first duelist in the show to get over 10,000 Life Points.

* From the book series ''Literature/{{Animorphs}}'' there's Cassie, who right from the start is an ''estreen'', a character naturally skilled at morphing. She is one of two characters seen with this ability, the other being a OneShotCharacter and thinly-veiled {{Deconstruction}} of [[MarySue Mary Sue-type]] characters. Later they go even farther, with ''Back to Before'' revealing that Cassie is a 'temporal anomaly', an exceedingly rare creature with a spatial sense so superhuman her very ''presence'' undoes the timeline-meddling of a RealityWarper.

* There are debately many Devil Fruits in ''OnePiece'' which can be considered this, but none more so than Blackbeard's Yami Yami no Mi (Dark Dark Fruit). In rough order, it gives the user control over gravity (i.e. letting the darkness suck in absolutely anything), allows them to cancel out other Devil Fruit abilities, and most recently, [[spoiler: it's allowed Blackbeard to [[MegaManning obtain the Devil Fruit ability of the recently-deceased Whitebeard]], the Gura Gura no Mi (Quake Quake Fruit), which is acknowledged as a power [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt that can destroy the entire world.]]]] Needless to say, someone lucked out in the SuperpowerLottery.

* Pog has 2. One, Unoffical slammers were often larger and thicker than official Slammers, making it much easier to score if you were using then, for no real drawback. A much better one was to simply throw the slammer at the SIDE of the pile, which could often knock over more than half of the Pogs on turn 1, rendering the game unwinnable for anyone else.

* In ''ToAruMajutsuNoIndex'', Accelerator's esper ability is pretty much a total GameBreaker. He can control the vector values of ANYTHING he touches. He can increase/decrease the speed, change the direction and gravity of where it goes and control how much force feedback it can cause. Including his own body. He just has to touch you to cause severe harm to your innards. And woe betide anyone who is or gets wounded in a fight against him. In THAT case he will touch your wound, making contact with your blood. THEN he'll just reverse the flow of the blood circulation, [[HighOctaneNightmareFuel killing you in a VERY horrible way.]] And to top the whole thing: [[PowerIncontinence his powers are automatic]] [[AttackReflector so anything that tries to hit him hits back to where it came from]]. '''HARD.''' When a character can theoretically [[{{Flight}} fly]] and [[NoSell survive a nuclear bomb dropped directly on him]] without breaking a sweat, [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast you know you don't want to oppose him...]]

* In the ''{{Gundam}}'' franchise, the [[TurnAGundam Turn A and Turn X]] completely overpower anything else in the series. Here's a partial list of their abilities: self-repair via nanomachines, teleportation, thrusters equal in strength to a battleship's, bending light to briefly turn invisible, I-fields that can even block kinetic weaponry, and, of course, the infamous "[[GreyGoo Moonlight Butterfly]]", which knocked Earth back into the stone age in one fell swoop. These mobile suits were designed for the explicit purpose of ''interstellar'' warfare, each expected to take on the military forces of an entire planet and win. All this from an ostensibly RealRobot series.
