== [[Action Game
* ''[[Bomberman]] 64'' had the secret final level called Rainbow Palace that fit the [[Fluffy Cloud Heaven]] motif, and had relaxing music that severely clashed with how unforgiving some of the puzzles were.
* 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.
== [[Fighting Game
* ''[[SNK vs. Capcom SVC Chaos]]'' has [[Athena (video game)|Athena]] as a bonus boss (as well as [[Ghosts 'n Goblins
== [[Platform Game
* In the arcade version of ''[[The New Zealand Story]]'', when you lose your last life in the later stages of the game, Tiki will reappear in the stage Heaven. There are different layout Heavens based on when you died, but they're all rather difficult stages. If you make your way all to the right, you meet up with the Goddess and pass on to the afterlife in a sort of [[The Many Deaths of You]] fashion epilogue (I think...).
** {{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!''

== [[Roguelike]] ==
* The Astral Plane in ''[[Nethack]]''.
== [[Role
* 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.
* ''[[Persona 4]]'' had one as a later level, based on {{spoiler|Nanako}}'s mindset. Although the level ''is'' required for the story, afterward in a [[New Game+|second playthrough]], the top floor (and you'll have to walk back up there normally) holds the resident [[Bonus Boss]] on the last day: {{spoiler|Margaret}}, assuming certain... ''conditions'' are met.
* The [[Game Boy Advance]] port of ''[[Final Fantasy II]]'' lets you take on heaven with the characters who had died in the main story after you beat the game. {{spoiler|They end up meeting the Emperor, who explains that the guy who took over Hell is actually the evil half of his soul. Then it turns out that his "better half" is ''still evil'', and you have to stop him from taking over Heaven as well.}}
Line 49:
** 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 ''[[Kult]]''. Given that God is missing and His replacement is [[God Is Evil|evil]], this makes sense.
* In the Time of Judgment sourcebook for the ''[[Old World of Darkness]]'' that detailed the [[Apocalypse How]] of
* Depending on how the campaign goes (and whose side they're on), it is perfectly reasonable for high-Essence characters in ''[[Exalted]]'' to slaughter their way through [[Heaven|Yu-Shan]], culminating in an epic battle with the Unconquered Sun himself.
== [[Turn-Based Strategy]] ==
* ''[[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.
