* The Duplighosts of ''[[Paper Mario]]'' transform into your partners in battle. The Duplighost of ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'', {{spoiler|Doopliss,}} transforms into Mario partway through the first battle with him. He retains this disguise until you defeat him the second time.
** Actually, he turns into Mario's shadow. Which you then have to beat up, triggering a cutscene showing Mario and his partners taking the [[Mineral MacGuffin|Crystal Star]] and leaving the shadow lying there. Leaving you wondering why the camera is still focused on the shadow, until you find out that Doopliss has [[Body Snatcher|stolen Mario's body]] and somehow made you beat yourself up. Mario's partners don't realise this, meaning you have to fight them before you can get your body back.
* Poo from [[EarthboundEarthBound]] has his Mirror skill, [[Useless Useful Spell|which nobody ever uses]] because you're already stronger than most enemies and you can't copy bosses.
** The monkey Salsa from the sequel can mimic the target's moves, [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?|even a tank firing off a shell]].
* And of course the [[Trope Namer]], Ditto, from [[Pokémon]].
Line 60:
** Also, in ''[[Mortal Kombat]] Trilogy'', the characters Khameleon (female) in the N64 version and Chameleon (male) in the PS version would randomly switch their moves and looks between the female (for Khameleon) or male (for Chameleon) ninjas. In ''[[Mortal Kombat Armageddon]]'', both characters still retain a few special moves from their fellow ninjas.
** In ''[[Mortal Kombat 4]]'', the character Meat was essentially a 'skin' over whichever character you chose, acquiring all their moves. The playable boss character Shinnok could also switch between the other characters' moves with ease.
** Finally, in ''[[Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance]]'', while they didn't share any special moves with anyone else, Blaze and Mokap stole all three of their fighting styles from the other characters in the game.
*** Shujinko, the protagonist of its immediate sequel, ''[[Mortal Kombat: Deception]]'', has specials either reminiscent of or direct copies of moves used by other fighters; this is justified because in most cases those fighters taught him those moves over the course of Konquest mode.
** In ''[[Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe]]'', Shang Tsung's shapeshifting has been swapped out for a [[Freaky Friday Flip]]. However, one of his fatalities has him transforming into his victim for the hell of it as he absorbs their soul.
* In ''[[Naruto]]'', Kakashi is able to mimic the movements of his opponent thanks to the Sharingan. In various games based on the manga, he can imitate to a certain point the fighting style of his opponent. As can Sasuke. This leads to many funny techniques: Sexy Jutsu Kakashi? Inner Sasuke? Yeah.

* The Mii in ''[[Mario and& Sonic Atat Thethe Olympic Games]]'' is normally the [[Jack of All Stats]], but in Winter Olympics, you can make one copy every character, even some bosses, through costumes that they wear.
