* Almost all {{Roguelike}} games have some speed mechanics incorporated in their design, often even differentiating between movement, attack and other speeds. Since these games are turn-based, creatures with higher speeds effectively act more often than the slower ones.
* Eagle from ''VideoGame/AdvanceWars'', has the Super CO Power (just CO Power in the first) "Lightning Strike" once he builds up enough power, to let all non-infantry units move again, essentially gaining two turns. In the first game, it also renders such units weaker, where in ''Black Hole Rising'' and ''Dual Strike'' it makes them stronger. Also, in ''Dual Strike'', his regular CO Power "Lightning Drive" does what "Lightning Strike" did in the first game. The titular Dual Strikes in ''Dual Strike'' let every unit take two turns (and if Eagle is involved, 3). Which matches so well with Andy's Super (Heal all units, massive attack and defense bonus until next turn) that it's a straight GameBreaker. Andy attacks with super strong troops, Eagle attacks with super strong troops, Eagle attacks again (STILL with super troops- cause his turn ''hasn't ended yet'') then Andy goes, AGAIN. If the enemy even survives this it's almost impossible that they have the strength left to win, because in ''VideoGame/AdvanceWars'' your HP strongly affects your attack power ([[LogicalWeakness More troops= more shots fired]])
* ''VideoGame/{{Avernum}}'' and ''VideoGame/{{Geneforge}}'' cross-pollinated then changed their mechanics together: carrying over from ''VideoGame/{{Exile}}'', the Haste spell with modifying gear could grant Action Points equivalent to an extra turn. Quick Action skill had a chance of granting an automatic second attack, limited to the same target with the same weapon. Quick Strike skill first had a chance of granting extra AP, then after Haste was nerfed, it gave the chance to grant extra AP that again with +AP gear added up to an extra turn.
* ''VideoGame/BaldursGate'' has time stop, one of the most useful of any spell. It allowed you to attack and cast spells while using it, although area of effect spells wouldn't go off until the effect ended. Which meant they'd all happen simultaneously, giving no chance for automatic defenses to activate. The only drawback was that against a few exceptionally powerful enemies, Time Stop froze time for everyone but the caster...and that enemy.
* All bosses in ''VideoGame/BeyondTheBeyond'' have the ability to attack twice in one round: once during the normal agility turn cycle, and again after everyone has taken their turn. This can be somewhat frustrating when you've already been hit for big damage and need to plan out how you're going to ration your healing spells (if you've got Annie or Lorelei on your team).
* ''VideoGame/BravelyDefault'' takes this concept to a new level with its "Brave Points" (BP) system: Characters gain one BP per turn in combat, and every action they take spends one BP. The game's DefendCommand ("Default") also saves their BP up for a later turn, while the "Brave" command spends this BP to take an extra action. But the major twist is that both player ''and'' enemies are free to save or spend it as they please: They can save up BP and unleash multiple turns at once, or spend future turns in advance (causing them to sit out while their BP recovers). Some skills are cast from BP (instead of [[MagicPoints MP]]), some skills can deplete or drain or BP from an opponent, and some skills can grant extra BP for free (the Red Mage job class in particular specializes in BP-granting abilities).
* A sufficient speed stat in ''VideoGame/BreathOfFireIII'' would allow the character in question to take extra turns every round of battle. Generally, only Rei and Nina could ever achieve such a feat. However, there was a hidden battle formation called Chain Formation which would allow every character in the game to have the same speed as the group's leader. It was close to a GameBreaker, to say the least, with its primary counter being that your party's defense scores take a massive hit.

* In ''VideoGame/BugFables,'' the "2x" status effect gives the character afflicted with it an extra attack on the next turn. You can gain them by performing a first strike on an enemy in the field, which gives it to the first member of your party, by using the Hustle Bean item or [[ItemCrafting foods cooked with it]], or by using Turn Relay to have one character give their attack to another. On the enemy side, some enemies, such as Mantidflies, start with the status effect already applied.
* TurnBasedTactics game ''Videogame/CallOfCthulhuTheWastedLand'' has two features that allow to occasionally give a single playable character the equivalent of one (or several) extra turns:
** Losing too many Sanity (by attacking[=/=]being attacked by monsters) has a chance to make the character enters in a manic state, giving him a lot of bonus action points in the current turn and the following. The downside is, unless the character is cured of his Sanity loss while still manic, at the end of the crisis he'll eventually faint, and then die a couple of turns later if not healed.
** The Vitality Dose items boost the action points of the unit who benefit from them (it is impossible to inject yourself with it).
* In ''VideoGame/{{Civilization}} IV'' and ''Revolution'', units can acquire the Blitz promotion which allows them a second attack.
* ''VideoGame/DawnOfWar: Dark Crusade'': One of the maps houses a Khorne-possessed artifact of Chaos that gives you two turns. Please ignore that of the seven factions in the game, two exist solely to ''fight'' Chaos, one is immune to it, and two others would very sensibly rather bombard the place thrice over as soon as they started hearing voices urging them to kill. The remaining factions are Orks (whose response to said voices would be along the lines of "Shaddup, don't need your help to kill things!") and, well, Chaos.
* In ''VideoGame/DigimonWorld3'', the frequency of a Digimon's turn coming up in battle is in direct proportion to their Speed stat. If the speed difference between two combatants is great, the faster Digimon may literally get two or three turns for every turn the slower Digimon gets. Its "Frozen" status ailment is similar to paralysis in ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'', but it is next to impossible to move when you're frozen.
* The Maid class in ''VideoGame/Disgaea5AllianceOfVengeance'' lets another unit act again (once per turn) with their character skill, Tea Time, by serving [[TheKlutz (spilling)]] refreshing tea. Also, Killia's LimitBreak lets him act three times in one turn.
* ''VideoGame/DivinityOriginalSinII'': [[FishOutOfTemporalWater Fane's]] unique Time Warp ability lets the target character take an additional turn immediately after their next turn ends.
* ''VideoGame/DragonQuest'':
** Some late-game bosses have this ability to attack twice in one round.
** ''VideoGame/DragonQuestMonsters'' has "Focus," which allows its user to perform two actions the following turn. It only counts for the monster that uses it, however.
* In both ''VideoGame/EarthBound1994'' and ''VideoGame/Mother3'', sneaking up on an enemy from behind grants an extra turn at the beginning of the battle. ''MOTHER 3'' also has a couple of items that can turn enemies around, granting an extra turn. One of these is Duster's Siren Beetle, which can be used over and over again... but sometimes it fails.
* ''VideoGame/EpicBattleFantasy5'' has the Haste status, which gives an affected player another action per stack[[note]]Enemies can acquire Haste, but automatically lose all their stacks upon taking their turn[[/note]]. It can be given to a single player via the Encore skill or all players via the Viking Monolith summon, or randomly given to players and foes alike by Cherry Blossoms's weather effect, with certain pieces of equipment able to give it at random.

* 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); however, this is of less use in [=PvP=], where items are banned, or if you're down to your last Pokemon and thus can't switch.

It was practically a GameBreaker when it was first introduced in ''VideoGame/WildArms4'', since the MightyGlacier who can use it possessed obscene levels of damage and could spam it as long as there is at least one level in [[ChargeMeter Force Gauge]], so even boss battles tend to end once she gets her turn.
* Most of the combat in the Press Turn System and its variants used in the ''Franchise/ShinMegamiTensei'' series is built around this. Each side gets a certain amount of turns before control switches over, represented by icons, and usually equal to the number of party members (the exception is usually bosses, though you can get an extra turn in Nocturne). Getting a CriticalHit or exploiting an elemental weakness makes the icon flash, granting you another turn. Obviously, you can't get any extra turns if all of your icons are already flashing. On the other hand, dodging, blocking or absorbing an attack causes the opposing party to ''lose'' turns. So one bad move can easily cause a player to lose their chance to heal or buff, while good planning can let one bring a team with the right resistances to eat up a boss's turns.

** Certain powerful bosses, meanwhile, possess an ability that shoots up their turn counts. The most common ([[ThatOneAttack and infamous]]) are Beast Eye and Dragon Eye, which trades one Press Turn for two and four, respectively. Luckily, only three minibosses have the potential to spam Beast Eye, and only one of them (Mot) can destroy you with it on rare occasions.
** Press Turn's successor in ''VideoGame/{{Persona 3}}'' / ''VideoGame/{{Persona 4}}'' / ''VideoGame/{{Persona 5}}'', the "One More!" system, grants an extra turn for knocking a combatant down by exploiting their elemental weakness or scoring a critical hit. Hitting an enemy that's already knocked downship doesn't give you an extra turn. In ''Persona 4'', having a character defend prevents the enemy from exploiting their weakness in this manner. ''VideoGame/{{Persona 5}}'' further allows characters to give a "One More!" to allies via the "Baton Pass" subsystem for additional tactical options and temporary stat boosts (which can stack, by the way).
** ''VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiIV'' also uses the Press Turn system, but with a new twist: Hitting an enemy's weakness or getting a CriticalHit not only grants the attacker an extra turn, but may also grant the attacker the "Smirk" status, which makes ''them'' immune to getting knocked down by a weakness or critical hit (in addition to receiving a temporary boost to their evasion andattack power). The {{Superboss}} has Guardian's Eye, an "Eye" skill that adds 3 half-turns; defeating them and fusing them allows ''the player'' to use it, but [[AwesomeButImpractical it costs 255 MP to cast]].

* Full Custom (and Folder Back askirmish can grants a squad member an Extra Turn (called stronger version that by name, even), which prolongs the battle for one more turn where only characters who have an extra turn can act. In the sequel, having a demon of the Omega race lets you reuse every chip you used) in ''VideoGame/MegaManBattleNetwork'' allows you to potentially have two extra turns in one battle -- known as Double Extra.
** Devil Survivor's grid-based maps allow for a different variation on this. Your turn onskip to the map consists start of moving, attacking, and using one skill from each member of a "team". The more you choose to do, the further back on the VisualInitiativeQueue you'll be sent. Two races of Demons, Kinshin and Fiend, allow next "turn" whenever it is used. This allows you to select the attack command twice per map-turn, or refresh your entire turn and begin moving, attacking, etc, again. Combining the two would let another 5 (assuming you enter are running a skirmish four times, allowing for up fluid folder) chips to [[CombinatorialExplosion eight Extra Turns]].
*** Some bosses in Devil Survivor have a passive version of ''Beast Eye'', which in this game translates to them acting twice per "turn". This means that if they achive an Extra Turn, they get ''two more'' actions. The final boss of ''VideoGame/DevilSurvivor2'' (on two routes) has this effect, combined with Double Extra.
* ''VideoGame/StellarBewitching'': Pokie's Wrathful Edge buff grants the target a speed boost and an extra action per turn, which helps in keeping up with later bosses and their ability to act two to three times per turn.
* All bosses in ''VideoGame/BeyondTheBeyond'' have the ability to attack twice in one round: once during the normal agility turn cycle, and again after everyone has taken their turn. This can be somewhat frustrating when you've already been hit for big damage and need to plan out how you're going to ration your healing spells (if you've got Annie or Lorelei on your team).

* In ''VideoGame/MasterOfOrion II'', any ship fitted with a Time Warp Facilitator will get an extra turn in combat at the end of every round. Makes a very deadly combination with Phasing Cloak (if the ship doesn't attack it recloaks, becoming untouchable at the end of its turn).
* A sufficient speed stat in ''VideoGame/BreathOfFireIII'' would allow the character in question to take extra turns every round of battle. Generally, only Rei and Nina could ever achieve such a feat. However, there was a hidden battle formation called Chain Formation which would allow every character in the game to have the same speed as the group's leader. It was close to a GameBreaker, to say the least, with its primary counter being that your party's defense scores take a massive hit.
* Avalon Hill's UsefulNotes/WorldWarII game ''Third Reich'': The player with the most [=BRPs=] (resource points) moved first every turn. By careful restriction of BRP expenditures, a player could arrange to move last in one turn and first the next turn, thus moving twice in a row. This allowed the player to perform a devastating blitzkrieg attack like the ones the Nazis used during the RealLife invasions of Poland, France and the Soviet Union.
* In ''VideoGame/DigimonWorld3'', the frequency of a Digimon's turn coming up in battle is in direct proportion to their Speed stat. If the speed difference between two combatants is great, the faster Digimon may literally get two or three turns for every turn the slower Digimon gets. Its "Frozen" status ailment is similar to paralysis in ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'', but it is next to impossible to move when you're frozen.
* In the first ''VideoGame/MarioParty'' game, landing on a mushroom space will give you either a "Super Mushroom" (Extra Turn) or a "Poison Mushroom" (lose next turn).
* ''VideoGame/BaldursGate'' has time stop, one of the most useful of any spell. It allowed you to attack and cast spells while using it, although area of effect spells wouldn't go off until the effect ended. Which meant they'd all happen simultaneously, giving no chance for automatic defenses to activate. The only drawback was that against a few exceptionally powerful enemies, Time Stop froze time for everyone but the caster...and that enemy.
* In both ''VideoGame/EarthBound1994'' and ''VideoGame/{{Mother 3}}'', sneaking up on an enemy from behind grants an extra turn at the beginning of the battle.
** ''VideoGame/{{Mother 3}}'' also has a couple of items that can turn enemies around, granting an extra turn. One of these is Duster's Siren Beetle, which can be used over and over again... but sometimes it fails.
* In ''Franchise/StarTrek: VideoGame/BirthOfTheFederation'', any ship equipped with a [[InvisibilityCloak cloaking device]] (most Romulan ships, a few Klingon ships, and the ''Defiant'') get an extra turn at the beginning of the battle, which often means there is no second turn. Coupled with the fact that you can't see cloaked ships on the galactic map means they can sneak up on you. The Romulans are slightly balanced by the fact that their ships are extremely slow on the galactic map, but that might not be a problem if the enemy can't see you coming.
* The ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars'' series has used several versions over the years:
** In early titles (roughly, those before 2001) pilots who reached a certain level (usually in the 40s-50s+) gained the ability to move twice during a turn. Generally, pilots from series with small, quick robots earned this extra action at a lower level than those with more ponderous rides.
** Most games have two SP Commands (basically spells): Awaken, which allows the caster to move again after taking an action; and Enable, which allows an allied pilot who has already moved to take a second action.
** The ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsZ'' subseries introduces Continuous Action, a pilot skill that allows a pilot to act again after killing an enemy, and a (difficult to obtain) piece of equipment that outright grants an extra action. In addition, some antagonists have the Double Move skill, and a very few have ''Triple'' move.
** ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsV'' introduces the "Extra Count" system: units earn points by defeating enemies or gaining levels that can be spent on Extra Actions (or Extra Orders for battleship captains). One Extra Action provides the effect of the Continuous Action skill, while one Order has the same effect as Enable.
* ''VideoGame/{{Avernum}}'' and ''VideoGame/{{Geneforge}}'' cross-pollinated then changed their mechanics together: carrying over from ''VideoGame/{{Exile}}'', the Haste spell with modifying gear could grant Action Points equivalent to an extra turn. Quick Action skill had a chance of granting an automatic second attack, limited to the same target with the same weapon. Quick Strike skill first had a chance of granting extra AP, then after Haste was nerfed, it gave the chance to grant extra AP that again with +AP gear added up to an extra turn.
* TurnBasedTactics game ''Videogame/CallOfCthulhuTheWastedLand'' has two features that allow to occasionally give a single playable character the equivalent of one (or several) extra turns:
** Losing too many Sanity (by attacking[=/=]being attacked by monsters) has a chance to make the character enters in a manic state, giving him a lot of bonus action points in the current turn and the following. The downside is, unless the character is cured of his Sanity loss while still manic, at the end of the crisis he'll eventually faint, and then die a couple of turns later if not healed.
** The Vitality Dose items boost the action points of the unit who benefit from them (it is impossible to inject yourself with it).
* ''VideoGame/BravelyDefault'' takes this concept to a new level with its "Brave Points" (BP) system: Characters gain one BP per turn in combat, and every action they take spends one BP. The game's DefendCommand ("Default") also saves their BP up for a later turn, while the "Brave" command spends this BP to take an extra action. But the major twist is that both player ''and'' enemies are free to save or spend it as they please: They can save up BP and unleash multiple turns at once, or spend future turns in advance (causing them to sit out while their BP recovers). Some skills are cast from BP (instead of [[MagicPoints MP]]), some skills can deplete or drain or BP from an opponent, and some skills can grant extra BP for free (the Red Mage job class in particular specializes in BP-granting abilities).
* Almost all {{Roguelike}} games have some speed mechanics incorporated in their design, often even differentiating between movement, attack and other speeds. Since these games are turn-based, creatures with higher speeds effectively act more often than the slower ones.
* The ''VideoGame/SDGundamGGeneration'' series has the Chance Step mechanic, which allows characters to take an extra action after killing an enemy. The number of times they can do this in one turn is determined by their level, and can be increased with certain skills or equipment.
* [[spoiler:Sans]] from ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'' uses this against you. Realizing that he can't beat you he resorts to cheating by denying you your turn, not that it does much good as he can dodge anything you throw at him.

* ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsOfColdSteel'' has Chrono Burst, which costs a hefty amount of {{Mana}} to use (in the first game, it's 200 EP, around what many of the high-tier offensive magic spells are, and in the second, it's 400, which is outdone only by the highest-tier attack spells and a small set of Infinity Plus One spells that take ''all'' of your EP and require beating optional bosses to obtain) but grants its user two immediate additional actions.

* ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'':
** Since the 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); however, this is of less use in [=PvP=], where items are banned, or if you're down to your last Pokemon and thus can't switch.
** In the spin-off ''VideoGame/PokemonConquest'', some Pokemon have an ability called "Celebrate" which allows their Pokemon to take one of these if they land a knockout blow to an opponent. The Ability does not award multiple turns in a row, however.
* ''VideoGame/PrayerOfTheFaithless'': The MultipleHeadCase-type OddballDoppelganger of Reyson and Serra, being because they fight together, gets to attack twice each enemy turn, possibly because they have two heads, or because Reyson does DualWielding so they mimic using two weapons each turn.
* The easiest way to win at ''VideoGame/PuzzleQuest'' is to build enough mana to cast a near-endless chain of these. Likewise, the fastest way to lose in ''Puzzle Quest'' is for the ''CPU'' to AssPull [[TheComputerIsACheatingBastard an endless supply of these]].
* The ''VideoGame/SDGundamGGeneration'' series has the Chance Step mechanic, which allows characters to take an extra action after killing an enemy. The number of times they can do this in one turn is determined by their level, and can be increased with certain skills or equipment.
* Most of the combat in the Press Turn System and its variants used in the ''Franchise/ShinMegamiTensei'' series is built around this. Each side gets a certain amount of turns before control switches over, represented by icons, and usually equal to the number of party members (the exception is usually bosses, though you can get an extra turn in Nocturne). Getting a CriticalHit or exploiting an elemental weakness makes the icon flash, granting you another turn. Obviously, you can't get any extra turns if all of your icons are already flashing. On the other hand, dodging, blocking or absorbing an attack causes the opposing party to ''lose'' turns. So one bad move can easily cause a player to lose their chance to heal or buff, while good planning can let one bring a team with the right resistances to eat up a boss's turns.
** Certain powerful bosses, meanwhile, possess an ability that shoots up their turn counts. The most common ([[ThatOneAttack and infamous]]) are Beast Eye and Dragon Eye, which trades one Press Turn for two and four, respectively. Luckily, only three minibosses have the potential to spam Beast Eye, and only one of them (Mot) can destroy you with it on rare occasions.
** Press Turn's successor in ''VideoGame/Persona3'' / ''VideoGame/Persona4'' / ''VideoGame/Persona5'', the "One More!" system, grants an extra turn for knocking a combatant down by exploiting their elemental weakness or scoring a critical hit. Hitting an enemy that's already knocked down doesn't give you an extra turn. In ''Persona 4'', having a character defend prevents the enemy from exploiting their weakness in this manner. ''Persona 5'' further allows characters to give a "One More!" to allies via the "Baton Pass" subsystem for additional tactical options and temporary stat boosts (which can stack, by the way).
** ''VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiIV'' also uses the Press Turn system, but with a new twist: Hitting an enemy's weakness or getting a CriticalHit not only grants the attacker an extra turn, but may also grant the attacker the "Smirk" status, whichgives an affected player another action per stack[[note]]Enemies can acquire Haste, but automatically lose all their stacks upon taking their turn[[/note]]. It can be given to a single player via the Encore skill or all players via the Viking Monolith summon, or randomly given to players and foes alike by Cherry Blossoms's weather effect, with certain pieces of equipment able to give it at random.

The {{Superboss}} has Guardian's Eye, an "Eye" skill that adds 3 half-turns; defeating them and fusing them allows ''the player'' to use it, but [[AwesomeButImpractical it costs 255 MP to cast]].
** Since ''VideoGame/DevilSurvivor'' and [[VideoGame/DevilSurvivor2 its sequel]] are strategy games, battles typically only last one turn, but landing a critical hit, hitting an enemy's weakness, guarding against an attack or just being lucky at the start of a skirmish can grants a squad member an Extra Turn (called that by name, even), which prolongs the battle for one more turn where only characters who have an extra turn can act. In the sequel, having a demon of the Omega race allows you to potentially have twoothers extra turns in one battle -- known as Double Extra.
** Devil Survivor's grid-based maps allow for a different variation on this. Your turn on the map consists of moving, attacking, and using one skill from each member of a "team". The more you choose to do, the further back on the VisualInitiativeQueue you'll be sent. Two races of Demons, Kinshin and Fiend, allow you to select the attack command twice per map-turn, or refresh your entire turn and begin moving, attacking, etc, again.

* The ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars'' series has used several versions over the years:
** In early titles (roughly, those before 2001) pilots who reached a certain level (usually in the 40s-50s+) gained the ability to move twice during a turn. Generally, pilots from series with small, quick robots earned this extra action at a lower level than those with more ponderous rides.
** Most games have two SP Commands (basically spells): Awaken, which allows the caster to move again after taking an action; and Enable, which allows an allied pilot who has already moved to take a second action.
** The ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsZ'' subseries introduces Continuous Action, a pilot skill that allows a pilot to act again after killing an enemy, and a (difficult to obtain) piece of equipment that outright grants an extra action. In addition, some antagonists have the Double Move skill, and a very few have ''Triple'' move.
** ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsV'' introduces the "Extra Count" system: units earn points by defeating enemies or gaining levels that can be spent on Extra Actions (or Extra Orders for battleship captains). One Extra Action provides the effect of the Continuous Action skill, while one Order has the same effect as Enable.

By careful restriction of BRP expenditures, a player could arrange to move last in one turn and first the next turn, thus moving twice in a row.

PYL on ABC Banks bonus game
Added DiffLines:
** This is a feature of the bonus game on the current ABC ''PYL'' w/Elizabeth Banks; the winning player of the game faces the board, and has to survive a set number of spins (5 in Round 1, 4 in Round 2, and 3 thereafter) before having the opportunity to call the game w/whatever cash/prizes were earned. The board has not only cash amounts and prizes (some personalized to the contestant's interests), but also Whammies. Extra spins landed on here keep the spin requirement where it is, making it more difficult to get through any round. As in the game, the Whammy resets the player's bank to nil, and four of them end the game (cash and prizes from the front game were not at risk). If a player gets through a round, he/she has the opportunity to either call the game w/what was accumulated, or go for it on the next round; each round has bigger cash amounts and better prizes, but also more Whammies. If the player survives the five rounds w/o 4 Whammies, the total cash and prize amount showing is won. Should a player get to $500K, however, the game is automatically won, and the player's total goes to $1 million. In season 4 and beyond, there is a Prize-A-Palooza space that offers everything on the board at that time if hit.

* 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).
