* The UsefulNotes/TurboGrafx16 version of ''VideoGame/JackieChansActionKungFu'' has orbs to collect from defeated enemies. Collecting 100 of them will completely restore life and {{Kamehame Hadoken}}s. The NES version (which is a shorter game) requires only 30.

*** ''VideoGame/SonicColors,''[[note]]In [[UsefulNotes/NintendoDS both]] [[UsefulNotes/{{Wii}} versions]], you get 1 life for an A-rank and three for [[RankInflation an S-rank]] when you finish a level[[/note]] ''VideoGame/ShadowTheHedgehog,''[[note]]Instead, you get extra lives for having 100 or more rings when you touch a checkpoint.[[/note]] the ''VideoGame/SonicStorybookSeries'' titles[[note]]Both titles just give you an unlimited number of tries to beat a level.[[/note]] and the UsefulNotes/NintendoWii / UsefulNotes/PlayStation2 version of ''VideoGame/SonicUnleashed''[[note]]Which instead have the extra lives in the [[OptionalMission Gaia Gates]][[/note]] do not give you a one-up upon getting 100 rings.

* The plot of ''Manga/The100GirlfriendsWhoReallyReallyReallyReallyReallyLoveYou'' starts after Rentarou has been rejected by a girl for the 100th time.

A SisterTrope to EveryTenThousandPoints.

* ''VideoGame/{{Bug}}'' has crystals. Getting 100 of them doesn't net you an extra life, but you need to collect at least 100 in each act if you want to play the bonus level for a chance to get an extra continue.

-->'''Elena:''' "Grab the fruit."\\

* ''VideoGame/CrashBandicoot'': Collecting 100 Wumpa fruit grants an extra life. This is humorously lampshaded in ''VideoGame/UnchartedAThiefsEnd'', where Nate is playing the first ''Crash Bandicoot'' game:

* ''VideoGame/CrashBandicoot'' games use Wumpa fruit for extra lives.

* Made more difficult in ''VideoGame/BanjoKazooie'', which has 100 musical notes on each level that reset themselves if you die or leave the world. Collecting all of them on one run gets you an extra life (since lives are relatively easy to scoop on their own, the bigger purpose of the notes is to open Note Doors in Gruntilda's Lair to progress in the game). The sequels have musical notes as well, clocking at 100 per level again in ''Tooie'' and ''Grunty's Revenge'' (and way more in ''Nuts & Bolts''), but since the main characters now have unlimited lives the trope is averted.

* The rings in the ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog'' series {{downplay|edTrope}} this mechanic, while playing with it in other ways. All Sonic titles follow this basic framework, with minor variations.

* ''[[VideoGame/{{Touhou}} Mystic Square]]'' gives you an extra life for every 100 point items collected. ''Perfect Cherry Blossom'' and ''Imperishable Night'' did something similar, but the intervals at which you gain lives are altered to more closely match the rate at which you get point items.

* ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoIII'' and its Vice City expansion has 100 hidden packages to find. This doesn't gain you extra lives, but each batch of 10 cause an extra weapon spawn point at your hideouts.

* A few ''VideoGame/{{Kirby}}'' games do this with stars. ''Kirby's Dream Land 2'' requires a mere seven, ''Kirby's Dream Land 3'' and ''VideoGame/Kirby64TheCrystalShards'' bump this up to thirty, and ''VideoGame/KirbysReturnToDreamLand'' finally gets to one hundred.

** In ''Vs. Super Mario Bros.'' (an arcade port of the original with some changes to make it harder), depending on DIP switch settings, Mario might need to collect as many as 250 coins to get an extra life.
** In ''VideoGame/SuperMario64'' and ''VideoGame/SuperMarioSunshine'', 100 coins in one run on one stage allow you to get a Star or Shine for that level, respectively. You also get lives for coins when you finish a level, but at 50 per life (stopping at 150 coins in ''64''), and the extras are just wasted.

* ''VideoGame/ClawsOfFurry'': You start the game with 100 hit points. Same for whenever you continue the game after quitting it.
