* ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsChainOfMemories'' is this for the ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'' series. Sora's party arrives at Castle Oblivion, a labyrinthine castle which is stated to have power over memories. With every floor he ascends, memories of his previous adventures fade while repressed "true" memories bubble up to the surface. It is later revealed that [[spoiler:Sora's memories are actually being manipulated in a bid to control him]], and [[spoiler:the only way to restore his memories to normal would involve forgetting the events of the game altogether. So ''he does''.]]
**The convenience of the ending twist led some fans to believe that the game was intended to be a non-canonical side game that wouldn't be necessary to understand future games. Cue ''every subsequent entry in the series making reference to the events of this game''.
