Most Triumphant Example (Sugar Wiki)/T

This is simply what you think is the (not some of the, the) best example of any trope (an objective trope, not subjective, since this already is subjective). The "Crowning Example" if you will.

There could be several reasons you think an example is the best.
 * You thinks it's the best in terms of illustrating the trope.
 * You think it's the most well done.
 * It's your favorite play in that trope.
 * You just really like the source material.

Oh, and each troper gets one example per trope, no more. Also, don't go "no, this is," or phrases like that. This is about our own personal favorites.

Please list tropes alphabetically.

 * Miguel -User:Clae
 * Air Man. ~ DAN004
 * Final Fantasy X 2 fives us Angra Mainyu. It took about 15 attempts and an hour (exactly) of straight battling for Symphony Of Rain to beat it.
 * Xaldin, he of the dreadlocks and Hotblooded Sideburns. ~ Allspark Spin Out
 * That One Level
 * I'd say either the Fade or the underground caverns with the dwarves from Dragon Age: Origins counts. ~ Clevercover

 * Carnival Nights Act 2 on Sonic The Hedgehog 3. I was stuck at that stupid Barrel of Doom for nine years. I know, it's sad. ~ User:Surenity
 * Stage 15 from the first Castlevania. If you can somehow wade through all the axe knights and copious swarms of medusa heads without dying (I would like to remind you that by this point in the game four hits kills you, and the only health-increasing power up in this block was very far behind you), then you have Death himself to deal with at the end of the hall. He does go down easy with a quick swarm of spammed fire bombs, but in order to pull that off you have to carry that weapon all the way from almost the very beginning of the dungeon without either dying one single time or accidentally picking up another weapon. Again, four hits means death. Good luck, motherfucker. -Ziggy Zag
 * "Save Me" from Lemmings. Anyone who has ever played this level will know exactly what I mean.
 * The Collector ship., by comparison, is a climax that somehow manages to top the one in the first game. ~ Dracosummoner

 * World 4-1 in Super Mario Bros. My very first That One Level. ~ wanbli
 * I've been playing video games for a long time and I've got quite a few of these vying for first place, but nothing has made more people I know utterly lose interest in finishing a game than that stupid turret sequence in Dead Space where you have to shoot through an asteroid field. It's boring, it's difficult, it's jarringly out of place in the game, it goes on for way too long and the asteroids look like meatballs. ~ Gfrequency
 * Dharma Temple ~ Jason Paul
 * The department store. Grrrr... ~ Helium Opera
 * The desert level of Fire Emblem: Sword of Seals. Not only it's a desert level, it's also coupled with Fog of War, and a Timed Mission of finishing the level in less than 25 turns in order to go to the Gaiden level. Fail to do this, and you won't get the True Ending. ~ Ace Noctali
 * That One Sidequest
 * The tow truck mission from Saints Row 2 ~ Kentuckytroper 1990
 * Canary Mary's Cloud Cuckooland Race in Banjo-Tooie, nuff' said. ~ Old Man Ho Oh

 * Theme Music Power Up
 * Elite Beat Agents. The "Jumping Jack Flash" cover on the final stage is absolutely awesome. - User:Willy Four Eyes
 * Super Dimension Fortress Macross and its sequels - they take the songs of war so seriously that they build stages into the command towers of their main capital ships. ~ User:Zeke Sulastin
 * Frontier gets special mention for weaving most of the originals and the new songs into a 10 minute long tapestry of sound that plays during a climatic final battle in SPACE, and then they get dangerous.
 * "The Touch", from Transformers: The Movie - Prior to it, the Transformers were fighting a lost battle. Then the music sets in and Optimus Prime singlehandedly proceeds to change the tide of the battle. ~ User:Scrounge, User:V Phantom Allspark Spin Out
 * Both Happly Ever After and Sorairo Days in Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann ~ Sperium, User:Unclouded TJ
 * Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney has Pursuit ~ Cornered, normal-style, which usually works great, but Pursuit ~ Cornered (Variation) adds in an awesome BOW-DOW-DOW-DOW opening that works PERFECTLY. ~ User:Godot Is Waiting 4 U
 * Metroid: Zero Mission's endgame. That triumphant variant of the Brinstar theme really pumps you for some hot Space Pirate blasting action. ~Sparky Lurkdragon

 * A musical example, Daft Punk's "Around the World" music video. It has women in bathing suits running up and down stairs, men with extended torsos doing pretty much the same thing, mummies in the middle doing God-knows-what, dancing skeletons in the foreground and alien robots walking around bumping into one another. Thomas and Guy must hae been baked when they made this.

 * Seconded! ~User:Smokie
 * Thirded. ~ 2xN
 * Shana ~ Kulsprutejojjo
 * I want to nominate Tohsaka Rin, mainly because she is an example of a tsundere done RIGHT. She avoids all the cliches that have ruined the trope -- she does not switch bipolar-style from bitchy to sweet and back for no real reason; her tsun side is not mean, psychopathic, or cartoonishly violent, and her dere side is not ridiculously passive or naive; and the mere fact that she is a tsundere does not preclude her from being an individual in her own right, complete with Character Development. (And admittedly, the grade S Zettai Ryouiki doesn't hurt either.)

 * Dog Soldiers. As in, you will be disappointed when the werewolves show up because you wanted another twenty minutes with them, does this film pull this trope off. But given how this trope is it never works the rest of the time, is it any surprise? ~ Gadeel
 * The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe the Movie. Totally unnecessary tacked-on World War Two atmosphere piece.
 * Cloverfield. To paraphrase one critic, fifteen minutes in and the monster's already an hour late. ~ User:Geoduck
