%%* In ''VideoGame/RecettearAnItemShopsTale'', paying off Recette's DisappearedDad's debt is one of these. Failing to make a repayment is still the GameOver condition, but the game allows you to begin the NewGamePlus nonetheless -- in fact, it's ''very'' difficult (but not quite impossible) to complete the game without doing this once. Clearing the Cash Gate by making the final repayment unlocks Endless Mode, where the game continues without the money pressure, allowing you to focus on dungeons and plot; and Survival Mode, where the debt constantly ramps and can't ever be fully paid off. %%Missing context: What paying off the debt is here.

Misuse of the page/link. The game already has Banana Coins as currency, which you use to purchase abilities and stuff from the non-playable Kongs. B. Locker asking you to collect Golden Bananas is simply how the game enforces the collection of the primary Plot Coupons


* ''VideoGame/ShantaeRiskysRevenge'': It costs 20 Gems every attempt at the Battle Tower. But enemies inside are {{Money Spider}} s so a full run should reimburse Shantae and more.

** In ''VideoGame/DonkeyKong64'', a character by the name of B. Locker (yes even his name is a pun to his status) blocks the entrances to levels, forcing the player to have the required amount of Golden Bananas to pass by him. You're not exactly ''paying'' to access the levels, but it still counts as you need to go out your way to collect Golden Bananas.

** In the ''WesternAnimation/StarTrekLowerDecks'' episode "Parth Ferengi's Heart Place", Boimler reveals that some Ferengi paywall everything. They even paywall paywalls! [[spoiler:This is what gets Nick Locarno killed when it turns out ''[[FailsafeFailure they put a paywall on the Genesis Device's self-destruct device]]'']].

* CashGate:
**The Vault Bundles, which allow the player to [[BrokenBridge repair the bus and access the desert]], are completed by paying money upfront; 42,500 Gold is needed to complete all of them. And ''then'' every time you want to go there, you have to pay 500 Gold to take the bus, or use Desert Warp Totems which must be bought for 3 Omni Geodes each or crafted, and the crafting recipe itself costs ''ten Iridium Bars'' and each crafted Totem uses even more Iridium alongside other ingredients. Most of the other bundles indirectly require you to spend money so that you have the seeds and tools needed to complete them.
** Buying a Joja membership to replace the Community Center with the Joja Warehouse turns the bundle system into a more straightforward version of this. Instead of offering the required items, you just pay cash to have Joja Corporation complete the projects that the Junimos would otherwise do.
