History OffscreenTeleportation / Videogames

** The Luteces from ''Videogame/BioshockInfinite'' used this at first to pop in and out all over Columbia offering random choices and clues to Booker and Elizabeth, [[spoiler: until [[UsefulNotes/SchrodingersCat their true nature it's revealed]], when [[StealthHiBye they don't even bother waiting for you to turn your back before they just vanish into thin air]].]]

* In the fangame ''VideoGame/MyLittlePonyFightingIsMagic'', [[FightingClown Pinkie Pie]] can teleport by running out of the screen and coming back on the other side, dropping from the top of the screen [[SubvertedTrope or the same side she left the screen]]. This carries over to her {{Expy}}, Paprika, in VideoGame/ThemsFightinHerds.

** Lampshaded and handwaved by the Trapper, a merchant in ''Videogame/RedDeadRedemption2'', who boasts that he can disassemble his stall, carry it on foot, and set it up in a new location faster than you can cover the same distance on a horse. Apparently it's not about speed, but about knowing the land.

** In ''Videogame/SuperMarioRPG'', [[GoldfishPoopGang Croco]] breaks into Bowser's Keep even with all access cut off. Toad makes it farther to the Final BossCorridor despite being captured every few minutes by low-level enemies in one of the first areas of the game.

* Any Turtle not keeping up with the lead Turtle(s) in VideoGame/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2013 in the FixedCamera will magically teleport next to you. This can lead to a bug where they WON'T due to you being in a tight space they can't fit, leaving you stuck and unable to move, or them not following you if they're blocked by a railing or other InsurmountableWaistHighFence but are still visible, leaving you unable to move forward until you go back to retrieve them.

* Reimu has an ability very similar to this in ''Subterranean Animism'', the eleventh ''VideoGame/{{Touhou}}'' game, when she has Yukari helping her. Minus the punching, since this is a [[ShootEmUp SHUMP]] and all that. This ability was later given to Yukari in a patch of ''Scarlet Weather Rhapsody''. Still minus the punching, since it's still a defensive tactic.

* ''Franchise/MetalGear'':

-->'''Bernard''': [[LampShadeHanging How'd you get over there?]]

** ''[[VideoGame/SilentHill Silent Hill 1]]'' has a inverted example of this, when at one point the PlayerCharacter Harry Mason disappears completely when entering another room — to the utter confusion Cybil the other main character. She was [[AgentScully unbelieving]] of the supernatural goings-on up until that point and unlike the player doesn’t know Harry just got transported to the Otherworld.
