* ''InfiniteSpace'': Earlier in the game, you are faced with unwinnable battle against one of the badasses. You have about 100 people against 9999 of enemies. Even if you use cheats for infinite soldiers (turning this into 9999 vs infinite 9999), computer will start to cheat when it will drop below 7000 so you can't win (the minigame is based on RPS). And even if you use reduce enemies to 1 cheat, you still can't kill the last soldier.

** Youngster Joey is notorious for calling the player to brag about his "top percentage" Rattata. Players who hacked the game found out that Joey's Rattata has optimal stats for a Rattata, including perfect Internal Values in all categories (which happens in maybe 3% of Pokemon for any breed). Put simply, ''he really does have a top-notch Rattata''.

** The zombies in both games are attracted to loud noises. The Dark Carnival finale shoes that loud music (and fireworks) suffice, which also works in other campaigns: a Horde is summoned when the song "re: Your Brains" is played for long enough on one of the in-game jukeboxes, due to the chorus sounding like a horde was alerted, thus alerting a horde to the players.

* In the fourth Generation of {{Pokemon}}, one of the Legendary Pokemon Arceus can have any Pokemon type corresponding to what type Plate it has, and has a different color scheme for each Plate. The move Curse has the type ???, and is the only move with this type. If you hack the game so that Arceus has the same type as Curse, it has its own color scheme and sprites. Also, the event Spiky-Eared Pichu has a Shiny sprite on the off-chance someone hacked it to be shiny.
** hacking has nothing to do with it, event pokemon can be shiny without hacking, one of my friends got a blue mew at an event.

* SuperRobotWarsZ has many such instances. For example, TheBigO is a ground unit which has melee attacks which do not work against aerial opponents, but if you attack a "Minovsky Drive" which allows it to fly and use these attacks, you see that they have specialized, completely unique animations for mid-air use. Another one is an EasterEgg special dialog that can be found if you reduce the penultimate boss' HP to exactly 1 point, where [[spoiler: she]] goes on a rather lengthy rambling session. Lampshades the whole idea with the ground-only Iron Gear (WM)'s punch attack - if it's given some way to attack aerial foes, it won't use it's boosters to jump up. Rather, it just kinda... ''floats'' up, perfectly in key with its source.

** This is more of a subversion. The game clearly expects the NPC to die - the spoken text is obviously just a placeholder. It would have been played straight had he thanked the player for saving him, or something.

* In ''FEAR 2'' you start the game in a parking lot. If you shoot at a nearby car for the heck of it, your squadmate tells you to stop ("hey, it's not your car!"). A short while later you meet with your superior, who asks why you're late; your squadmate says "Becket was busy vandalizing shit". He has different responses if you jump in the fountain or just take a long time doing nothing.

*[[BunnyMustDie Chelsea and the Seven Devils]] has the Body of Willpower item, which halves damage taken, and more importantly allows you to do an extremely quick dash forwards. So quick, in fact, that you can leave the final boss room before the doors close when the fight starts. What is your prize for doing this?
