** This can be done by accident in ''VideoGame/FireEmblemTheBlazingBlade'': resetting the game just as an enemy steps on a mine will let the player control every enemy unit for the rest of the turn, moving them away from wounded characters or into range, dropping all their equipment...

A standard type of BonusSpace where board games are concerned. In RollAndMove games, it can also be a reward for certain rolls (typically a 6 if you roll one [[UsefulNotes/{{Dice}} d6]], or rolling doubles if you roll two).

** ''VideoGame/FireEmblemEngage'' features a few ways to gain extra turns, mostly as {{Mythology Gag}}s. Celica's Echo grants the user two turns, though they can't move from the tile they began to attack from. Byleth's [[LimitBreak Engage Attack]] is Dance of the Goddess (now renamed Goddess Dance) as mentioned above. Engaging with the ''Three Houses'' lords gives access to Raging Storm at the cost of 3 turns of Engage, and performing their Engage Attack adjacent to an ally with Byleth's ring also grants an extra turn. Engaging with Veronica gives access to the ability Contract, which gives an extra turn but prevents the target from moving during that turn.

Many classic (and otherwise single-player) arcade games -- ''VideoGame/PacMan'', ''VideoGame/MsPacMan'', ''VideoGame/SpaceInvaders'', ''VideoGame/{{Galaga}}'', ''VideoGame/DonkeyKong'' and so forth -- that allowed more than one player to insert coins would alternate between the players whenever one lost a life.[[note]](Cocktail-style game cabinets with controls at opposite sides, like ''Pac-Man'', would even flip their onscreen display to accommodate whomever is currently playing.)[[/note]] Thus, from a meta perspective, a OneUp (especially those occuring EveryTenThousandPoints) represents an extra turn at the controls.

* Basically most simple children's race games (where you roll a die and move your pieces along the track until you reach the finish) include this as a reward for landing on certain squares (while other squares may penalize an unlucky player by forcing them to skip their turn).

--> Big gun wins. Winner gets a free turn.

** [[https://scryfall.com/card/vma/287/time-vault Time Vault]] gives its controller an extra turn whenever it is tapped - but it doesn't untap normally, requiring the controller to skip a turn to untap it. And despite this caveat, it's only legal to play in the Vintage format - where it's restricted to one copy in a 60+ cards deck. However, its Untap mechanic can be circumvented with cards like [[https://scryfall.com/card/m11/219/voltaic-key Voltaic Key]].

** Numerous other spells with this effect in ''Magic: The Gathering'' qualify, many of which have "Time" in the name and are often aligned with Blue, such as [[http://magiccards.info/tp/en/97.html Time Warp]] (a far more balanced version of Time Walk), [[http://magiccards.info/od/en/108.html Time Stretch]] (which lets you take ''two'' extra turns but costs ridiculous amounts of mana), and [[http://magiccards.info/ts/en/93.html Walk the Aeons]] (which has the potential to be used an unlimited number of times thanks to its "buyback" effect, but sacrificing three lands is a hefty cost). [[http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=129898 Time Stop]] achieves basically the same effect by a different method -- instead of taking an extra turn you make your opponent skip most of theirs. Such effects are normally limited to blue cards, but there are exceptions such as the red spell [[http://magiccards.info/mr/en/173.html Final Fortune]], which is equivalent to the original Time Walk and also only costs 2 mana, but causes you to lose the game at the end of your extra turn -- unless, of course, you manage to win before the turn is up.[[note]]Note that if the turn is somehow skipped for some reason, you don't lose the game, allowing the card to be used to pay costs such as "skip your next turn".[[/note]]

* Since the ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' series focuses mainly on one-on-one combat, many of the game's status ailments can be viewed as extra turns to whomever inflicts them. E.g., when a Pokemon paralyzes its foe, there is a 25% chance that the victim will lose their turn to paralysis. If a Pokemon gets "flinched" before it makes its move, it loses its turn. If a foe is asleep, they lose two to five consecutive turns in a row (unless they also have Snore or Sleep Talk, which can be used while sleeping). If the victim is frozen, there's an 80% chance they'll lose their turn (so, theoretically, it could last forever, but in practice, they usually thaw out 2-3 turns later). Note that in these cases only the ''Pokemon'' loses its turn; its ''Trainer'' is still free to take actions (such as healing the Pokemon or swapping it out for another).

** This game has the high level arcane spell Time Stop, which grants the caster 2-5 rounds in which generally nobody else can do anything. It's limited in use, as the caster can't attack people or cast offensive spells during it, only move around and cast personal spells. However, one popular trick is "Time Stop, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Delayed Blast Fireball]], Delayed Blast Fireball, run for your life".\\

** 5th Edition's Time Stop spell gives you 1-''5'' extra turns, with the caveat that the spell ends as soon as you do something that affects another creature, an object it's holding, or move more than 1,000 feet away from the spell's point of origin.

* And in UsefulNotes/{{Baseball}}, any time you get on base (usually by base hit or walk), it's an extra turn, because you keep the number of outs where it is (except in the case of the fielder's choice, wherein even though the runner gets on base, it's only because the fielder decided to put someone else out, and as such, the batter/runner is treated like he was out, even though he safely got on [which means that if the batter was 0 for 2 at that time, the batter is now 0 for 3]). That said, the natural extra turn that comes of getting on base by base hit or walk has been instrumental in many a Main/MiracleRally, like in Game 6 of the 1986 World Series, where Boston led the Mets 5-3 in the bottom of the 10th inning, and was one out away from putting it away in 6, before the Mets had an unbelievable Main/MiracleRally to score 3 runs and eventually pull it out and get the Series to a 7th game (Mookie Wilson hit a grounder that got through Bill Buckner's glove and legs, and Ray Knight came home to score the winning run; there was much cheering in Shea Stadium, and late, great NBC Sports baseball announcer Vin Scully continues to be lauded to this day for allowing the pictures to tell the story of this remarkable sporting achievement).
