** ''[[Banjo Kazooie]]'' itself is quite prone to this at times, considering the truly titanic amounts of [[Getting Crap Past the Radar|adult humor]] and dark storylines [[Rare]] snuck into their family-friendly game. |

* ''[[Mother 3 (Video Game)|Mother 3]]'' is a prime example. For the first 15 minutes, it's averted, but after that it takes a swan dive into the depths. Compared to the art style, the story gets so dark, you would need the light of a thousand suns to be able to see three feet ahead. Though, admittedly, there are comic relief sections, it's still one hell of a contrast. |

* ''[[The Legend of Zelda the Wind Waker (Video Game)|The Legend of Zelda the Wind Waker]]'' introduced a cartoony and very brightly colored art style very different from the ''[[The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time (Video Game)|Ocarina of Time]]'' era's more realistic art. However, it is arguably even darker than ''Ocarina of Time''; central to the plot is {{spoiler|a [[Great Flood]] that reduced the world to a handful of islands that were once mountaintops}}--not to mention the fact that the final battle culminates in {{spoiler|Ganon being stabbed ''[[Impaled With Extreme Prejudice|in the forehead]]''.}} |

* ''Raze's Hell'' features mostly cutesy art... since you play as a monster bent on fighting the [[Cute Is Evil|cuddly]] [[Evil Army]] bent on [[What Measure Is a Non-Cute?|destroying ugly creatures]]. |

* ''[[Bastion]]'' looks like a [[Sugar Apocalypse]] at first, but it eventually becomes clear that the world (or at least the main character's nation) was pretty messed up even before the Calamity. |

* ''[[Kagerou]]'' starts out this way, with extremely bright colors and cartoonish art contrasted against the dark plot and tendency towards gore. Eventually, though, the art [[Art Evolution|evolves]] into a more realistic but still brightly coloured style. |
