Earth-Shattering Kaboom: Difference between revisions

** The ARK's Eclipse Cannon was capable of destroying a planet with the power of the Chaos Emeralds. It was used twice: first to blow apart half of the moon in ''[[Sonic Adventure 2]]'', and to annihilate the Black Arms Comet in ''[[Shadow the Hedgehog]]''.

* In ''[[R-Type]] Final'', the Giant Warship's Giant [[Wave Motion Gun]] is said to have the capability to do this.

* In the first ''[[Ratchet & Clank (video game)|Ratchet & Clank]]'' game, the villainous Drek needs to remove a planet in order to give his man-made world the perfect orbit. Drek's tool for achieving this goal is the appropriately named Planet Buster. The weapon does produce an Earth Shattering Kaboom, but not on the planet you'd expect.

* In ''[[EVE Online]]'' the storyline that heralded the Apocrypha expansion and the formation of wormholes, sympathetic reactions from the explosion of a [[Lost Technology]] device caused several distant stars in the galaxy to flare and space-time to rupture; the kaboom from one of the star flares burnt the inhabited mining world of Seylin I to a cinder.

* ''[[Ray Force]]'' ends with the explosion of the Con-Human-transformed Earth.

* ''[[Star Ocean]]''

** In the [[Star Ocean: Till the End of Time|third installment]], the Earth itself is destroyed from an attack by the Executioners. In this case, the Executioners doom many other worlds off-screen as well.

* Atrea, the world in which ''[[Aion]]'' takes place, is a hollow sphere whose inhabitants live on the ''inside'' rather than the outside. The Tower of Eternity is a large tower running through the inside of the planet which provided light to its inhibitants in lieu of a star, although the planet does still orbit a star. However, when the Tower of Eternity broke in two, the resulting explosion blew the planet into two pieces connected only by a magical field created through [[Heroic Sacrifice]].
