{{quote|"There's a flower that only blooms on this mountain top. We're going to get it."|'''Fuse''', ''[[SaGa Frontier]]''}}

* Used in ''[[Kimagure Orange Road]]'', only that in this case, a young man has to go fetch some snow from the mountaintop as a test of character to see if he's worthy of marrying the girl he likes. She's the only daughter of a family with [[Psychic Powers]] and he's a [[Muggles|just a normal human...]]. {{spoiler|The girl likes the guy so much that she uses her powers to help him out, and the parents give them their blessing anyway. The young couple are Takeshi and Akemi, the parents of the male lead, Kyousuke Kasuga, and his sisters Kurumi and Manami}}.

* Subverted in the last [[Tenchi Muyo!]]! OAV. Tenchi's mother is injured climbing a mountain for a healing herb... which grows abundantly in the valley below.

* Occurs in .hack//Sign. Tsukasa is entrusted with a grunty which gets sick. To cure it, he must collect a rare herb from a very high level dungeon, even though he is very low level. {{spoiler|He is able to get it, but he doesn't return in time and the grunty dies anyway.}}

** Also occurs in [[.hack|.hack//Legend of the Twilight]], where Tsukasa's (and Elk's) near-identical counterpart asks Sugo-in-Kite's-avatar to help her get a [[Healing Potion|Pfenix Feather]] from a high-level [[Mix-and-Match Critters|Cerberus]] to save a sick baby [[Messy Pig|grunty]], even though they are both at very low levels. {{spoiler|She goes with him, and they get the feather in time to heal it}}.

* [[One Piece]]: Chopper gets a rare medicinal herb to save the doctor who raised him. The plant? A toxic species known as a Jolly Roger. The doctor knew it was poisonous from the beginning, but couldn't tell the poor kid that he risked his life for nothing.

* More than one of the Seven Colors Flower's sightseeings in [[Hana no Ko Lunlun]] happen in mountains. {{spoiler|In one of these, Lunlun plummets to her death and has to be revived by the Flower Star Spirits.}}
