Line 313:
* The western half of Peasantry in [[Homestar Runner|''Peasant's Quest'']].
* Literally within seconds of ''[[Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six (video game)|Rainbow Six Vegas 2]]'''s tutorial teaching you about how your character can leap over obstacles you are blocked off from a potential alternate path by a sign on a flimsy chain saying keep out.
* ''[[Monster Girl Quest Paradox]]'' has several of the types in the trope description. It's particularly egregious since your party can comprise monsters of a wide variety of races, so even obstacles that would actually be a barrier to humans end up fitting this trope. A party of flying monsters can't fly over anything, a party of aquatic monsters can't swim over rivers or the sea, a party of fairies or slimes can't squeeze through small gaps, and of course a party of people who should logically be capable of levelling buildings can't break through a locked door. For the last of these, the game sometimes hand waves it as the doors being magically sealed, but of course none of the mages in your party can do anything about them. On one occasion, examining a jail cell door with the ditzy slime Lime in your party will cause her to squeeze through the bars... only for the others to point out that the door is still locked so they still can't free the prisoners.
