Line 1:

* In ''[[
** In ''[[New Super Mario Bros
* This happens to Sims in ''[[The Sims]] 2'', in both directions: Immediately after getting up from a meal or getting off the treadmill, they may balloon to tubbyness or shrink to svelteness with a cheery sound effect. Contrast with ''The Sims 3'', where fat and muscle are tracked separately, and gained or lost at a gradual rate.
* In the ''[[Metal Slug]]'' game series, if you collect enough dropped food items, you transform into an obese version of yourself. This affects not only your movement, but also your attacks: They're all increased in size and power, and the homing missiles home in on enemies better. It also changes your standing melee attack into a fork stab and crouching melee attack into a belt whip.
Line 14:
* Hilde from ''[[Shadow Hearts]]: From The New World'' has two forms. Curvy Hilde is the trope. Slim Hilde is the opposite. Oddly enough, she gains ''and'' loses weight via feeding (she drinks calories, not blood--some enemies have "negative" calories).
* This happened in ''[[Um Jammer Lammy]]'' after the title character gets free pizza after putting out a fire at a pizza shop. She gorges herself so much that she looks pregnant, but she just as quickly digests it.
* [[Big Eater]] Li Xiangfei gained a huge balloon belly in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M4BEg4WjAGA her team's ending] for ''[[
* Cheng Sinzan from ''[[Fatal Fury]]'' already has a nearly spherical torso, but he can plus inflate himself with air during at least one of his attacks.
* In ''[[
** Come to think of it, the original game often did it with water or Chuckola Cola.
** Also in ''Bowser's Inside Story'' is [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43O59LqAhzM&feature=related this] little plot point. Guess all those fat jokes turned true, Bowser.
Line 25:
* Wario in the "Super Smash Brothers Brawl" [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6WBFw-wLQr4 Trailer]
** He also [[Gasshole|gains one]] over time during fights.
** In fact, this happened to Wario in [[Wario Land
** ''[[Wario Ware]] DIY Showcase'' takes this [[Up to Eleven]], as one of the premade game has Wario's belly inflating to deflect rockets. Yes, you read that right.
* In ''[[Super Scribblenauts]]'', fattening foods will turn anyone who eats them ''instantly'' into "Fat", "Chubby", and "Obese" versions of themselves, which involves simply stretching the body portion of the sprite to be wider. Using a potion with one of those adjectives will achieve the same effect.
* The classic arcade game ''[[Dig Dug]]'' involves inflating enemies until they burst.
* ''[[Super Mario World (
* [[Stringy-Haired Ghost Girl|Specimen 4]] from ''[[Spooky's Jumpscare Mansion]]'' kills the player by eating them alive, and the game over screen is an image of her cradling her swollen belly while reassuring the player that [[Obliviously Evil|they're "safe"]].
* In ''[[Cuphead]]'', Hilda Berg will suck in a bunch of air and inflate her belly before turning into a blimp during her boss fight. She'll suck in even more air and inflate herself further as one of her attacks, which has her expel all that air and rocket towards Cuphead and/or Mugman at high speed.
* To catch Grapeskeetos in ''[[Bugsnax]]'', you need to make them feed on other Bugsnax by hitting them with chocolate sauce. Due to their sweet tooth (sweet proboscis?), Grapeskeetos descend upon chocolate-coated Bugsnax and devour all the chocolate in a gluttonous frenzy, leaving them too plumped-up and heavy to fly away when you jump in to catch them.
