* One of the subplots of ''[[Paper Mario the Thousand Year Door (Video Game)|Paper Mario the Thousand Year Door]]'' involves the daughter of a Piyanta mafia don eloping with one of his underlings.

They settle on a tropical island a few chapters later. {{spoiler|In the next chapter you need a ride once again, so you return and find him sick (literally) with worry about them. One subquest later and you have [[Not Rare Over There|your ticket]], the couple and the Don reconcile and everyone's happy.}}
