Line 49:
* During one scene of [[Sonic the Movie]], after Metal Robotnik crashes into the sea, Robotnik explains about his plans. However, when he mentions that Sonic "will have to fight something more evil than Metal Robotnik," Sera hits Robotnik on the head, and stars circle Robotnik's head. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWZ8Y5eS-Sc&t=4m31s This video has the entire scene.]
* [[Pokémon Special]] had this trope sometimes. For example, in ''Yellow,'' Gengar gets these when it gets hit by Dizzy Punch. Meanwhile, in ''Diamond and Pearl,'' Roark's Craindos gets circling Torchic after becoming confused by a Water Pulse attack.

Line 96:
* ''[[American Idol]]'' used the bird sound effect in the audition phase of its 11th season when one contestant, Tyler Beach, banged his head on a low-hanging pipe when celebrating his golden ticket to Hollywood, as seen in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AwQJyomFUzI this clip].
* MTV's ''Room Raiders'' used bird sounds in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-PJJF3BDn-A one episode] after a contestant banged his head on the top of a canopy bed.
* During a stop-motion segment on a holiday episode of [[That '70s Show]], Kelso is struck by lightning, falls to the ground and hears tweeting birds, as seen in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dKPOB0M7mGI&list=UUffBt8Lsi5lpJJ_S7083obA&index=4&feature=plcp this clip].
Line 136:
* The final frame of Mario/Jumpman's death animation in most versions of the original ''[[Donkey Kong]]'' includes a plain white halo. It was likely intended as this but limited by hardware.
* Most of the ''[[Mario Party]]'' games feature this with birds if a character is stunned by something like dangerous areas or hazzards on the game board.
* In ''[[Super Smash Bros.]] Brawl'', any character [http://super-smash-bros.wikia.com/wiki/Stun stunned] by a broken shield or reflector, exploded Deku Nut, Mewtwo's Disable move, Weavile's False Swipe, Wario's Wario Waft, or Luigi's Negative Zone will be rendered immobile and a tweeting sound effect is heard. [[Button Mashing]] may get the player out of the "stunned" effect sooner.
* Falling from great heights causes this (and loss of a hit point) in ''[[The Lost Vikings]]''. If you are in the unfortunate situation of already having only one hit point, the poor viking [[Critical Existence Failure|hitting the ground will splash to tiny pieces and die.]]
** Also occurs if Eric tries to ram a wall that DOESN'T break on impact.
Line 155:
* Dirk from ''Dragon's Lair II'' has this trope, but only consists of circling hearts in one death scene... no, ''two'', in Level 3, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3s11LZOFOo&t=12m24s and circling stars in another death scene in this longplay.]
* Wii Party features numerous ways to inflict this trope (stars with bird sound effects) upon your Miis, as [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1C-K1rjzgK0&list=UUffBt8Lsi5lpJJ_S7083obA&index=1&feature=plcp this montage] demonstrates.
** Wii Play and Wii Play Motion also uses the stars to the duck in Wii Play and the Mii you selected in Wii Play Motion's minigame Cone Zone.
* In the first two ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' games, Diddy will get a ring of stars over his head if you lose a life while playing as him. In ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'', enemies you stun with the peanut popgun/ground pound get an actual birdie circle.
* In [[Kirby Mass Attack]], when Kirby is stunned, a bird circles Kirby's head.
** However, World 2's boss gets circling stars.
