* A [[TearJerker decidedly not comedic]] version appears in ''SuperMarioGalaxy'', during the second-last chapter of the storybook. The music plays as normal, a calm, soothing nursery tune, even during the most heartbreaking scene yet where the unnamed girl living at the observatory gets homesick, being particularly sorry she can't visit her favorite tree. It's all quite sad, though not altogether unexpected for the storybook, until [[spoiler:we find out the reason she's so attached to the tree is because her [[MissingMom beforehand unmentioned mother]] is buried under it]]. Cue the music stopping, and not coming back until the next chapter.

* In ''[[DungeonsAndDragonsShadowOverMystara Dungeons and Dragons: Shadow Over Mystara]]'', it happens after you beat the goblins' War Machine. When they try to ram you one last time but automatically miss, the contraption rolls right off a cliff. It pauses in the air long enough for the music to start wobbling to a halt, ''then'' it plummets along with all the goblins. You even get to hear it crash at the bottom.
