{{trope}}
Not all characters in [[Fighting Game
What's left to do? Simple: [[Summon Magic|summon them from nowhere]], let them do their thing, then they disappear like they never existed! Problem solved.
These characters may become [[Ascended Extra
See also [[The Cameo]] and [[A Boy and His X]]. Compare [[Mons]] and [[Summon Magic]], where the entire point is summoning others to fight for you. Contrast [[It's Up to You]], where you do everything without any kind of help.

== [[Fighting Game
* The [[Ur Example]] is in Data East's ''[[The Avengers (Comic Book)|Avengers]] in Galactic Storm''.
* The ''[[Capcom vs. Whatever]]'' series frequently uses this:
Line 41:
* In ''[[Growlanser]]: Wayfarer of Time'', the fairy-like familiars will help in battle by strengthening magic or physical attacks, but they are not actual party members.
* ''[[Super Robot Wars]]'' occasionally has characters who are generally too small or [[Mauve Shirt|minor]] to get their own units appear to help a main or secondary character in some of their stronger attacks. In ''[[Super Robot Wars W|W]]'' for instance, [[GaoGaiGar|KorRyu and AnRyu]] each has an attack where they would assist the human-sized Renais in attacking, and both [[Gundam Seed|Cagali and Mu]] can summon the [[Gundam SEED Astray|Astray]] Girls to triple-team the enemy.
** ''[[Endless Frontier]]'' has the Personal Troopers who can perform assisting attacks to any character, and also helps in some of Haken's [[Limit Break
* ''[[Lunar]]'' games has the party accompanied by a baby dragon - Nall in the first game, Ruby in the second. Rather than directly participating in fights, they fly back and forth in the background of the battlefield, and occasionally jumps in at the end of a turn to assist in some way. Specifically, Nall sometimes revives fallen party members, and Ruby sometimes attacks enemies. If anyone in the party is suffering a status effect at the end of a fight in the first game, Nall also cures them automatically.
* The [[Gundam vs. Series]], starting with ''Gundam vs Gundam'', adds Mobile Assists, with the number of uses being determined by how powerful the assistance is. ''Gundam Extreme Vs.'' retains assists, but they're non-standard; typically a unit has one only if it doesn't have enough standard weapons to fill out its moveset. Additionally, in ''Extreme Vs.'', some machines regain Assists over time (just like standard ammo "reloading" in these games) while others only get X uses per life.
Line 48:
* In the beginning of ''[[Golden Sun: Dark Dawn]]'', [[Previous Player Character Cameo|Isaac and Garet]] join the party and help out.
* In one of ''[[Fate/hollow ataraxia]]'' minigames, Assassin goes as Caster's equivalent of Noble Phantasm attack.
* In ''[[Captain America and The Avengers]]'', [[The Wasp]] appears to assist during the [[Unexpected Shmup Level
* In the Famicom ''[[Star Wars]]'' game by Namco, R2-D2, Obi-Wan, C-3PO, Leia, Chewbacca and Han Solo can be summoned for assistance after being rescued.
