History GameBreaker / Other

** In single-player Battledome matches, the Faerie abilities Lens Flare and Warlock's Rage, which have identical effects: they prevent the opponent from acting at all for that turn. Most matches require you to choose a balance between attack and defense. When this is in play, DualWielding is a viable option, and many single-player opponents go down in a OneHitKO after that, especially if your pet is at a high enough level to learn Warlock's Rage—a minimum of 200.

** In 2014, the IP was sold from Creator/{{Viacom}} to Creator/{{Jumpstart}}, and with the server migration that followed came a GameBreakingBug in late September and early October that allowed items to be duplicated. Naturally, a number of exceptionally rare and powerful items were duplicated en masse and flooded the market.

** [[MasterOfAll Humans]] are the best "class"/"build" in the game ''bar none''. Their ''extremely'' high intelligence allows them to build inventions that massively raise all their other stats except base health. Of note is that, if you could take away all of a human's inventions ''and'' nerfed their intelligence, they'd ''still'' be overpowered thanks to rapid stamina gain, superb throwing distance and accuracy, and ability to get more experience from eating food thanks to gut flora.

* Subverted in MagiNation. A power gem could be bought for 8 animite and sold for 12 animite. However, while animite is the currency of the realm, you never need to buy items, as you can recover health naturally, and you need infused animite anyways to forge rings. Basically, its a game breaker in the most technical sense that you need animite, but you don't need it that badly.

** In {{VideoGame/Job Simulator}}, the play area is locked to coordinates in virtual space, meaning it's possible to reach through virtual obstructions to pick up dropped or thrown items as long as they're still within your play area. Of course, the dropped item itself can still be blocked by other virtual objects, but that doesn't prevent you from phasing through a counter to pick up dropped money, for example.

** Odds are that if you can name a SuperMode in any Heisei/Neo Heisei era ''Franchise/KamenRider'' series, it qualifies as this - notable examples include [[Series/KamenRiderOOO PuToTyra]][[note]]although [[DoppelgangerAttack GataKiriBa]] isn't far behind, since the copies of OOO can all ''transform into different combos''[[/note]], which had the ability to freeze opponents in place and could even destroy core medals; [[Series/KamenRiderGaim Kiwami Arms]], which [[AllYourPowersCombined can summon any of the lockseed weapons]], [[spoiler: and eventually turns its user into a god]]; [[Series/KamenRiderBlade King Form]], which was similar to the Kiwami Arms, except with all Rouze Cards of it's user's suite[[note]]although Blade is the only one who gets one in-series, Garren and Leangle have their own version of King Form; however, Garren's buckle was broken before he had a chance to assume the form, and while Leangle ''tried'' to assume his King Form, due to the Spider Undead not being properly sealed, it instead summoned the aforementioned Spider Undead while untransforming Leangle[[/note]]; and [[Series/KamenRiderKuuga Ultimate Kuuga]][[note]]which technically counts as a subversion, mainly due to the fact that it's only used once at the end of the series[[/note]] which is so powerful that, if it's Rider Kick was used, it would [[EarthShatteringKaboom break the planet in half]].

* In ''Mythic Quest'', the main character's Shadow Sword is so powerful it is often accused of being a [[GameShark hack]] in that video game by other characters. All the Shadow Spells fall under this, usually ending up in [[OneHitKill one hit KO]] territory.

* In the parodic LetsPlay ''SonicTheHedgehog2SpecialEdition'', playing as Knuckles the Echidna makes any level a cakewalk. In addition to gliding and climbing walls, he can jump really high (as in, high enough skip entire levels in a single bound or to almost leave Mobius' atmosphere) and he can summon artillery support to take out Robotnik in a single shot.

* Roleplay/TheBalladOfEdgardo. An underpowered PC in a [[PlayByPostGames online roleplay]] manages to reach the top by proper exploitation of a Game Breaker. One of the in-universe locations would instantly refill the ManaMeter of any player who visited it, up to the maximum allowed {{Cap}}. One of the abilities available to first-level characters ''removed the mana cap''. Cue the character walking around with literally infinite power.

* The [[CoolCar Porsche 917]] was such a good race car that the Le Mans organizers rewrote the rules after the 1970 season to ban it. The primary reason why it destroyed the competition in any of the racing events it entered (especially the infamously loose Can-Am series) wasn't because of its well-designed aerodynamics and all-around performance but because of its ungodly powerful engine. Specifically the 917/30KL version mounted a ''monstrously powerful'' turbocharged engine that maxed out at '''1500 HP''', easily leaving any of the would-be supermachines in the dust without much effort.

* Not specific to any machines are four techniques banned from all official tournaments (and nearly all unofficial ones too): The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AAsetQUkgIE Shooter Lane Cradle]], the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BzECDdPijsw Shooter Lane Juggle]], the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZljaPDYpXs Death Save]], and the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KB8Xp4PMvbQ Bang Back]]. The former two are banned because they allow the player to play multiballs with one or more balls resting by the plunger, making it impossible to actually lose. The latter two are banned because they are techniques that rescue a ball that should have otherwise drained and are easy enough to do that an experienced player can consistently rescue the ball until he or she tires out. All four techniques, however, are also banned because they can cause damage to the machine and/or the player.

** Machines made by Creator/{{Gottlieb}} tend to have one or more things worth much more than anything else in the game, whether it be the multiball in ''Pinball/CueBallWizard'' and ''Pinball/TeedOff'', the Million Shot in ''Pinball/LightsCameraAction'', or completing the grid of lights in ''Surf 'N' Safari''. According to Creator/JonNorris, who designed the playfields for most of Gottlieb's machines from the mid-80's and onwards (but not the rules), this was intentional: Gottlieb's machines were not designed with competition in mind, nor did they anticipate the machines' rules would get picked apart in the future, so one or more things were made more valuable than the others as a ComebackMechanic to allow a less-skilled player to catch up by stumbling onto a high-scoring mode. This did not stop Gottlieb's machines from showing up in major competitions though--''Surf 'N" Safari'' was a game used in the final rounds of PAPA World Championships 18 on March 2015, for instance, as completing the grid is considered no easy task, even by the best players.

* The spartan from DeadliestWarrior the DeadliestWarrior video game is a bit of game breaker. His spear range attack flies at head level (and attacks to the head are almost always one hit kills), and can end a match within a second if the opponent doesn't move out of the way IMMEDIATELY.

* SpectacleFighter Beat 'Em Up series ''{{VideoGame/Bayonetta}}'' has the Climax Bracers, so game breaking just equipping them disables the ability to set records in the game (which isn't a hindrance if you don't care about records). In the first game they put Bayonetta on permanent 'Serious Mode', in which all of her attacks summon massively damaging demonic limbs (normally a mode only reserved for intense boss fights). [[{{VideoGame/Bayonetta2}} In the sequel]], they grant Bayonetta infinite magic, which means unlimited [[SuperMode Umbran Climax]] or [[OneHitKill Torture Attacks]], or if used in conjunction with the Bracelet of Time, unlimited [[BulletTime Witch Time]].

* When ''PhineasAndFerb'' create a virtual reality game, Candace gets sucked in, with a ModestyTowel and more important to the trope a hairdryer reducing the use of "jumping and ducking."

* In ''{{ReBoot}}'' Bob's [[DoAnythingRobot Glitch]] lets him be a [[TheComputerIsACheatingBastard cheating bastard]] in every game he's in. Then there was the one time he (mistakenly) brings a bomb into a racing game, and the explosion crashes the game. And the one time Matrix pulled out his Gun, in a Golf Game.
