History Main / GoodMorningCrono

** In ''VideoGame/{{Fallout New Vegas}}'' you wake up in Goodsprings clinic a few days after having been shot in the head.

* ''HaibaneRenmei'' starts with a dream the main character has immediately before hatching from her cocoon, and spends most of the first few episodes having the world of haibane explained to her, as she has no memory of who she is or where she's from.

** And VideoGame/{{Mother|1}}'' starts with you waking up to your house being possessed by ghosts.

* ''{{Earthbound}}'' starts this way too, but it isn't your mother waking you up... it's the crash-landing of a meteorite carrying future not-bee that does.
** It's treated more conventionally in Mother3 when Claus wakes Lucas up by yelling at him to come and play.
** And Mother1 starts with you waking up to your house being possessed by ghosts.

* ''VideoGame/KingdomHearts'' begins with Sora being woken up on the beach by Kairi. (Okay, ''technically'' it begins [[AllJustADream within the dream he's having]], but...)
** [[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsII The sequel]] starts with Roxas waking up on his room, but there is more to it than it looks like.

* In the opening to ''{{Disgaea}}: Hour of Darkness'', demoness Etna awakens Prince Laharl by smacking him with a number of weapons, and is just about to ''shoot'' him when he finally wakes up. From a ''two-year'' nap. Talk about a HeavySleeper...

* ''ShiningForce'' You're being woken up after passing out during training.
** In ''ShiningForce 2'' the protagonist begins the game by being woken up by his mother.

* Mars from ''VideoGame/ShiningWisdom'' is awakened by his grandmother and told he has to get into town because today is the day he joins the army.

* ''Manga/AttackOnTitan'' also starts with a PropheticDream, though the content of the dream between the anime and the manga.

* ''Main/Bleach'': [[CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass Ishin Kurosaki]] tries this on Ichigo a few times but is foiled by the fact that Ichigo is already up and [[DynamicEntry doesn't like being kicked in the face]]

* ''Manga/Bleach'': [[CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass Ishin Kurosaki]] tries this on Ichigo a few times but is foiled by the fact that Ichigo is already up and [[DynamicEntry doesn't like being kicked in the face]]

** Somewhat justified in ''VideoGame/{{Fallout New Vegas}}'' as you wake up in Goodsprings clinic a few days after having been shot in the head.

** To some extent, VideoGame/{{Portal 2}} starts in the same way.

* The TropeNamer is one of the opening lines in the initial translation of ''VideoGame/ChronoTrigger'', where Crono's mom wakes him up to go to the Millenial Fair. Later, Crono has a [[PsychicDreamsForEveryone bizarre dream]] where the exact scenario plays out with the MysteriousWaif instead of momma. And when you finish the game normally, the trope is again replayed, but this time with a soldier waking him up.

When it comes to {{Kid Hero}}es, they're usually not granted the courtesy of starting their adventure out in the thick of combat. That would just be cruel, unless they're being forced to undergo TrainingFromHell. In many cases, if the main character in a role-playing game is no more than sixteen years of age, they'll likely start the game in bed, sleepy and bleary-eyed. A younger sibling, parental figure or, if it's a DatingSim, PatientChildhoodLoveInterest will usually be the one to awaken the hero, informing him/her that they're LateForSchool/an audience with the king/a date with their [[LoveInterests love interest]].

* In TheDemonArchives, at the beginning of Chapter 1, Tenzin gets woken up early by his AI assistant for an urgent mission.

* And odd variant in ''VideoGame/PokemonGoldAndSilver'': the game effectively starts with the player waking up old mentor and expert Professor Oak and then telling him the time.
