== [[Action Game
* ''[[
* In ''[[Bayonetta]]'', beating the 21 Alfheim challenges (which are located in heaven) rewards you with… a massive Alfheim challenge where you have to go through 50 waves of enemies, many of them really brutal, with a progressively increasing difficulty setting (from Normal at the beginnig to [[Harder Than Hard]] at the end) and one [[Bonus Boss]]. The soft and dreamy music that plays between the waves does little to reassure the player. Oh, and you can't use healing items. Good luck.

** {{spoiler|''"Tiki has met the Goddess and now went into a long sleep in the warm sunlight. But the Heavens had got an exit to the underworld."''}}
*** What's awesome is that there is a secret route in each Heaven leading back to the game proper: you can escape Heaven and shrug off death itself through sheer force of will! That's how [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|awesome]] [[Like a Badass Out of Hell|little Tiki]] is!
* ''[[The Simpsons Game]]'' had the family traveling to Heaven to talk to God about why everyone and everything wants to destroy Springfield, beating up Shakespeare and Benjamin Franklin along the way. They then play a DDR-style game where you coordinate heavenly versions of baddies from previous levels to the beat of "Rock You Like A Hurricane". Also, God is a giant video game nerd who spends all his time playing the super-immersive Planet Earth videogame.
* ''Gimmick!''
* The underrated CD-i title ''The Apprentice'' sort of plays it straight in the form of a dream taking place in [[Fluffy Cloud Heaven]], which you get to play every time you clear a tower and defeat its respective boss. It's a time attack stage where you must race your way to the very top of heaven by jumping on springs, all the while collecting all the letters that spell "MAGIC" to receive a buttload of extra bonus points.
* The coin heaven areas in the ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' series.

* There's an indie game series called ''Legion Saga'', at the end of which the main villain turns out to be [[God Is Evil|God himself]], so the heroes and their army have to invade heaven.

* The [[
* In the first ''[[Dolled-Up Installment|Final Fantasy Legend]]'' your characters have to {{spoiler|fight the Creator in his own heaven}}. The ''second'' game also has this to a lesser extent: {{spoiler|Odin's world looks like the white puffy version of heaven before he forces you to kill him in it.}}
* ''[[
** Not ''quite'' this trope, due to not being a Bonus Level. It's still a Level of Heaven, though.
* Not a [[Bonus Dungeon]], but in ''[[
* ''[[Valkyrie Profile]]'' has the Seraphic Gate, a bonus dungeon you can complete only after going through Hard mode to find eight special items. The most powerful bosses await there, including {{spoiler|Gabriel Celeste and Iseria Queen}}.
* The {{spoiler|[[Final Dungeon]]}} to ''[[Digital Devil Saga]]'' can be interpreted this way.
* Not a bonus level, and definitely a weird looking heaven, but the Great Crystal in ''[[
** The boss is an angel too.
* Not quite a bonus level either, but ''[[
** For most people (those without
*** There's also an island closest to hell. Exact same thing. There is a bonus to being here, though. All the best spells in the game (except {{spoiler|Apocalypse}}) are here.

** Of course, since this is the heaven of a god who has {{spoiler|pretty much gone insane and is no better than the devil himself by this point, and when the player confronts him, says that he will kill the player and torture him in hell forever}}, that may go a long ways in explain why everything seems so cold and empty...
== [[Sports Game
* ''[[Tony Hawks Pro Skater]] 2'' actually features a level called Skate Heaven, which is a gigantic level with only one real hazard, and even begins with a booming voice proclaiming "Skate on, my son."
== [[Tabletop Games]] ==
* There's a fan-made Heaven sourcebook for the tabletop RPG ''[[

* Depending on how the campaign goes (and whose side they're on), it is perfectly reasonable for high-Essence characters in ''[[
== [[Turn
* ''[[Disgaea]]: Hour of Darkness''. Makes sense, considering the main characters are mostly demons. Notably, it's not actually a bonus level, but rather the [[Very Definitely Final Dungeon|finale]]. Earth, on the other hand, does show up as a bonus level.
** Later revisited in ''[[Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice]]'' in Raspberyl mode.
* You can have a Bonus ''ending'' of heaven in ''[[Yggdra Union]]'', as the whole killing God is implied when Yggdra kills Marietta.
