Not to be confused with FluffyCloudHeaven, which only sometimes overlaps with this (when combined with BubblyClouds). If TheLegionsOfHell are running wild here, it's HellInvadesHeaven.

* In the first ''VideoGame/SaGaRPG'', [[VideoGame/TheFinalFantasyLegend Makai Toshi SaGa]] (or ''[[DolledUpInstallment Final Fantasy Legend]]'' as it is known in the United States) your characters have to [[spoiler: fight the Creator in his own heaven]]. The ''second'' game also has this to a lesser extent: [[spoiler: Odin's world looks like the white puffy version of heaven before he forces you to kill him in it.]]

A bonus level or [[BonusDungeon dungeon]] where the characters get to slaughter their way through {{Heaven}}, and possibly culminating in [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu punching out]] [[GodIsEvil God]].

* The coin heaven areas in the ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'' series.
* In ''VideoGame/SonicRoboBlast2'', [[spoiler:this area is a literal bonus level. It's also a MarathonLevel, being a combination of four levels with the same theme from a popular GameMod.]]

* ''VideoGame/Bomberman64'' had the secret final level called Rainbow Palace that fits the FluffyCloudHeaven motif, and had relaxing music that [[SoundtrackDissonance severely clashed]] with how unforgiving some of the puzzles were. Unlike most examples, the level is actually plot-relevant, as it leads to the TrueFinalBoss [[spoiler:and real BigBad, [[TreacherousAdvisor Sirius]]]].

* ''VideoGame/{{Bomberman}} 64'' had the secret final level called Rainbow Palace that fits the FluffyCloudHeaven motif, and had relaxing music that severely clashed with how unforgiving some of the puzzles were.

* In the arcade version of ''VideoGame/TheNewZealandStory'', when you lose your last life in the later stages of the game, Tiki will reappear in the stage Heaven. There are different layout Heavens based on when you died, but they're all rather difficult stages. If you make your way all to the right, you meet up with the Goddess and pass on to the afterlife in a sort of TheManyDeathsOfYou fashion epilogue (I think...).

* ''[[VideoGame/MrGimmick Gimmick!]]''

* In ''VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountryReturns'' collecting all the medallion pieces, and then completing all world's secret temple levels unlocks the very definitely bonus temple on the world map. ... Which is NintendoHard with CheckPointStarvation with brand new [[UniqueEnemy Unique Enemies]] which you won't find anywhere else in the game.

* ''VideoGame/CopyKitty'' has the Hard Mode version of [[ThirteenIsUnlucky World 13]] which was previously that of the [[BonusWorldOfHell hellish type]]. On Hard, it's filled with bright lights, cheerful music, fluffy clouds, and lots of greenery. Do not confuse this for the game going easy on you, enemies can tank a lot of damage before they go down, saving lots of weapon ammo is all but required to deal with the tons of targets onscreen, and the angelic Throne Gehligrukai are practically minibosses in their own right. To really hammer it home, there's a laundry list of challenges and conditions that must be completed before the game even lets you attempt it. This culminates in the [[BonusBoss Bonus Bonus Boss]] Aekros, one of the most spectacular boss battles in the game.

* In VideoGame/SonicRoboBlast2, [[spoiler:this area is a literal bonus level. It's also a MarathonLevel, being a combination of four levels with the same theme from a popular GameMod.]]

* ''TonyHawksProSkater 2'' actually features a level called Skate Heaven, which is a gigantic level with only one real hazard, and even begins with a booming voice proclaiming "Skate on, my son."

* The GameBoyAdvance and PSP ports of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyII'' let you take on heaven with the characters who had died in the main story after you beat the game. [[spoiler: They end up meeting the Emperor, who explains that the guy who took over Hell is actually the evil half of his soul. Then it turns out that his "better half" is ''still evil'', and you have to stop him from taking over Heaven as well.]]

* You can have a Bonus ''ending'' of heaven in ''YggdraUnion'', as the whole killing God is implied when Yggdra kills Marietta.

* ''ValkyrieProfile'' has the Seraphic Gate, a bonus dungeon you can complete only after going through Hard mode to find eight special items. The most powerful bosses await there, including [[spoiler:Gabriel Celeste and Iseria Queen]].

* ''VideoGame/SuperPaperMario'' manages to [[HailfirePeaks combine]] this with PlanetHeck in Chapter 7. You start in the "Underwhere" (hell) and climb up to the "Overthere" (heaven) throughout the course of the chapter.

* There's a fan-made Heaven sourcebook for the tabletop RPG ''{{Kult}}''. Given that God is missing and His replacement is [[GodIsEvil evil]], this makes sense.

* The PS2 game ''VideoGame/ChampionsOfNorrath: Return to Arms'' has you hack your way through heaven and hell. Apparently, the difference between the two is largely cosmetic.
