Line 20:
* Some anime combine this with [["On the Next..."]] by having clips from the episode you just saw play, followed by clips from the next episode, in the [[Ending Theme]]:
** ''[[Kyou Kara Maou]]''
** ''[[Magic Users Club (Anime)|Magic Users Club]] TV''
** ''[[Flint the Time Detective|Jikuu Tantei Genshi-kun]]''
** ''[[Kuragehime]]''
* The second ending sequence in ''[[Kirby of the Stars]]'' uses previous clips from throughout the series.
* Episode 63 of [[Fullmetal Alchemist|Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood]] has a special end credits sequence {{spoiler|highlighting the life of Hohenheim, using clips from throughout the show itself, including previous opening/ending sequences.}}
* ''[[Arashi no Yoru Nini]]''
* ''[[Persona 4 (Anime)|Persona 4: The Animation]]'' has this at the end of episode 1.
 
 
== Film ==
* ''[[Anastasia]]''
* ''[[The Princess Bride (Filmfilm)|The Princess Bride]]''
* ''[[The Incredibles]]'' (the sequence itself is known as "The Incredits!")
* ''[[The Ant Bully]]'' (in the form of cave paintings by the ants)
* ''[[Top Gun]]''
* ''[[Watchmen (Filmfilm)|Watchmen]]'', [[How We Got Here|detailing]] the extensive [[Backstory]], including explicitly showing The Comedian [[Who Shot JFK?|was on the grassy knoll]].
* ''[[Around the World Inin Eighty Days]]'' (1956 version)
* ''[[Cars]]'': After the epilogue vignettes there's a touching [[Credits Montage]].
* ''[[Star Trek IV: theThe Voyage Home (Film)|Star Trek IV the Voyage Home]]'' -- the only film in the series to use this
* [[Kill Bill (Film)|Kill Bill]] Volume 2, in the part of the credits that shows the entire cast of characters
* ''[[The Hangover]]'' featured still pictures from the guys' wild night {{spoiler|when they were high on roofies}}.
* ''[[Sunshine]]'' had clips from the entire movie.
Line 48:
* ''[[All That]]''
* ''[[Ship To Shore]]''
* The compilation episodes of ''[[Whose Line Is It Anyway? (TV)|Whose Line Is It Anyway]]'' UK.
* ''[[Scrubs (TV)|Scrubs]]'' (At least up to season 7) had stills from the episode that just aired during the credits sequence. However, most of these stills were from events that that little to do with the episode's plot, such as JD's daydreams.
* ''[[The A-Team (TV)|The A-Team]]'' would show a funny or action-filled clip from the episode, and then freeze it at the most hilarious or climactic moment and a section of the credits would appear. Lather, rinse, repeat.
** See also: most other series from [[Stephen J. Cannell]] Productions in the 1980s. (It was not uncommon for them to last over a minute, unusual for TV at the time... and even today.)
* The final episode of ''[[The Shield]]'' ends with a very moving nostalgic montage of both happy and sad events from earlier in the series.
* With Billy's departure in ''[[Power Rangers ZEOZeo]],'' we got a montage of Billy scenes going back to day one over the credits instead of the then-usual [[Hilarious Outtakes]].
* ''[[Star Trek: theThe Original Series (TV)|Star Trek the Original Series]]'' did this with a slight twist: Some of the stills shown during the closing credits were from entirely different episodes, usually ending with a particularly iconic image (the [[Green-Skinned Space Babe]] or the [[The Grays|giant-headed alien puppet Balok]]).
 
 
== Video Games ==
* ''[[Cave Story (Video Game)|Cave Story]]'' does it in reverse chronological order -- and it's a bit longer if you beat the [[Bonus Boss]].
* ''[[Drill Dozer]]''
* ''[[Earthbound (Video Game)|Earthbound]]'' actually justifies this trope as a [[Photo Montage]].
* ''[[Kirby]]'s Adventure'' features [[Attract Mode]]-style battles with each of the non-final bosses within its credits.
* ''[[Kirby Super Star (Video Game)|Kirby Super Star]] Ultra'' (that is, the DS port of the SNES game.)
* ''[[Mother 3 (Video Game)|Mother 3]]''
* ''[[Okami]]'' had one, but it was sadly cut out of the Wii version.
* ''[[RPG Maker]]'' lets you make your own [[Credits Montage]] by putting a "snapshot" event in your game, which records the image and later shows it during the credits.
* ''[[Sonic Heroes (Video Game)|Sonic Heroes]]'' - After clearing a team's story mode, the FMVs from their story play silently during the credits.
** ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog 2006 (Videovideo Gamegame)|Sonic the Hedgehog 2006]]'' has clips from cutscenes.
** ''[[Sonic Generations (Video Game)|Sonic Generations]]'' has gameplay clips from the original versions of the levels adapted for the game.
* ''[[Super Smash Bros]]. Brawl''
* ''[[The Legend of Zelda: theThe Minish Cap (Video Game)|The Legend of Zelda the Minish Cap]]''
** ''[[Ocarina of Time]]'' and ''[[Majoras Mask]]'' are borderline examples, with both recapping and epilogue.
* ''[[Wario Land (Video Game)|Wario Land]] 4'', when you get all of the treasures.
* ''[[You Have to Burn The Rope]]''
* ''[[Super Paper Mario (Video Game)|Super Paper Mario]]''
** Also [[Paper Mario the Thousand Year Door (Video Game)|Paper Mario the Thousand Year Door]].
* ''[[LuigisLuigi's Mansion (Video Game)|Luigis Mansion]]''
* ''[[Super Mario 64 (Video Game)|Super Mario 64]]'' and [[Super Mario Galaxy (Video Game)|Super Mario Galaxy]]. ''[[Super Mario Sunshine (Video Game)|Sunshine]]'' is not quite this trope as it has holiday photos of the stages instead.
* ''[[New Super Mario Bros (Video Game)|New Super Mario Bros]]'' has this as well. It's an [[Evolving Credits]] [[Credits Montage|Montage]], as each time you beat more levels that you originally skipped and then go back to beat the game again, more levels get added to the ending with the word "NEW!" put on the picture.
* ''[[Persona 3]]'' used clips from the animated story events. Could very well be a case of {{spoiler|[[My Life Flashed Before My Eyes]]}}.
* ''[[Professor Layton]]'' and the Diabolical Box had one.
* ''[[Mario and Luigi Partners In Time (Video Game)|Mario & Luigi: Partners In Time]]''.
* ''[[Kingdom Hearts]] Chain Of Memories''.
* ''The King of Dragons' credits shows all the bosses the player fought in the game.
* ''[[Final Fantasy IX (Video Game)|Final Fantasy IX]]'', although the last sequence widens to show parts not included in the original shot.
* ''[[Chrono Cross (Video Game)|Chrono Cross]]'', in black and white, with extra clips at the end.
* ''[[Wild Arms 3 (Video Game)|Wild Arms 3]]''.
* ''[[Grand Theft Auto IV]]: The Lost And The Damned'' has one of these showing how [[One Degree of Separation|Niko and Johnny's stories intersect]].
* ''[[Heavy Rain]]''
Line 92:
* ''[[Dubloon]]''
* ''[[Pickory]]''
* ''[[Super Mario Bros 3 (Video Game)|Super Mario Bros 3]]''.
 
 
== Western Animation ==
* ''[[The Simpsons (Animationanimation)|The Simpsons]]'' episode "Homer at the Bat" had a montage with an [[Retraux|'old film' sepia effect]].
* [[Celebrity Deathmatch (Animation)|Celebrity Deathmatch]]
* If i recall correctly, all cartoons from ''[[What a Cartoon]]!''
* The ''[[Star Trek (Franchise)|Star Trek]]'' episode of ''[[Futurama (Animation)|Futurama]]'' had this as a spoof of the credits montage on ''[[Star Trek (Franchise)|Star Trek]]''.
