* In general, going online in any fighting game before unlocking everyone and facing someone using a secret character.
* ''[[Soul Calibur]] IV'' was released for the [[Xbox 360]] and [[PlayStationPlay Station 3]], and, like SCII, each platform had it's own [[Guest Fighter]], this time from the [[Star Wars]] universe: Darth Vader for [[PlayStationPlay Station 3]] and Yoda for the Xbox (and [[The Force Unleashed|Starkiller]] for both). Many people figured that they would release the other system's character as DLC, but Namco didn't confirm nor deny. The suspense (if there was any) was ruined when the game had a single suspiciously empty square on the character select screen once everything was unlocked.
* Kinnikuman Soldier is called {{spoiler|Kinniku Ataru}} by the game itself in ''[[Kinnikuman: Muscle Fight]]'', ruining the fact that {{spoiler|he's Kinnikuman's brother}}.
 
Line 80:
** Throughout the franchise, the menu screens almost always have exactly enough room for every weapon and item in the game. When you get one Sub-Tank, for instance, you can see where the Sub-Tanks appear on the menu, how much more room there is, and therefore how many more Sub-Tanks are in the game (generally a total of four).
* ''[[Iji]]'' spoils the existence of the Komato from level one as their weapons are an upgradable stat.
* In ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]].'' for the DS, you can scroll through and view the entirety of the current world, no matter which levels you've unlocked. Except for the last world, where once you beat the "final castle", Bowser Jr. runs across a bridge to the second half of that world, which previously wasn't able to be viewed.
* In ''[[Sly Cooper|Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus]]'', in the controls menu the 3rd option you can change is for the {{spoiler|jet pack}}. Take 3 guesses as to how you beat {{spoiler|Clockwerk.}}
* ''[[Jumper (video game)|Jumper Two]]'''s unlockables menu blatantly spoils the existence of "secret" levels. Chances are that you will see said menu ''long'' before finishing the last sector (one requirement for secret stage 1. The other is getting total record time below certain threshold.)

* Similarly, ''[[StarcraftStarCraft]] 2'' has achievements for each set of missions: the Mar Sara missions, the Hanson missions, the Tosh missions, the Horner missions, the Artifact missions, the Zeratul missions - and [[Odd Name Out|the Final missions]], so named to avoid revealing that {{spoiler|the last missions take place on Char}}. Also, the achievements don't mention that {{spoiler|you can betray both Hanson and Tosh (seperately) in their storylines}} or {{spoiler|the [[Screw Destiny|nature]] of Zeratul's missions}}. They kind of blew it on hiding whose side Warfield and Valerian end up on, though. ({{spoiler|Well, technically you join their side. Semantics.}})
* In ''[[Brütal Legend]]'', entering the multiplayer menu plays a tutorial cutscene which spoils {{spoiler|Ophelia turning villainous.}}
** Less blatantly, there's the empty unit and solo slots.
* In ''[[Warhammer 4000040,000]]: [[Dawn of War]] II'', you can get armor plating equipment that is listed as only able to be equipped by {{spoiler|Dreadnought}}, even before you get {{spoiler|the resurrected Davian Thule}} as a party member.
 
== Role Playing Game ==
Line 107:
* Shows up in ''[[Seiken Densetsu 3]]'': The game leads you to believe that {{spoiler|opening the gate to the Mana Holyland and acquiring the [[Cosmic Keystone|Sword of Mana]]}} will be the game's big finish. It's somewhat undermined by the fact that unless you've spent an inordinate amount of time [[Level Grinding]], you're nowhere near the level needed for your [[Prestige Class|second class change]], and at that point in the game, have no obvious way of getting the [[MacGuffin]]s needed for it anyways. (They can be obtained early, but it is unlikely to the point of [[Guide Dang It]]; they're plentiful later.)
* ''[[Super Mario RPG]]'': The game's subtitle ("Legend of the Seven Stars") is already a [[Spoiler Title|clue in and of itself]], but the Star Piece screen nonetheless displays seven specific slots, one for each piece you collect.
* ''[[Final Fantasy IV]]'': Not so much an Interface Spoiler as Interface Foreshadowing, but [[Badass Grandpa|Tellah]] is seeking out the spell [[Last-Disc Magic|Meteor]] for purposes of [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge|revenge]]. He finally gets it, and supposedly even has access to it in [[Random Encounters]]...but a quick check of the menu reveals that he doesn't have, now, and will not ever have enough magic power to actually cast it. [[Killed Off for Real|What can come of]] [[Cast Fromfrom Hit Points|casting something]] [[Plotline Death|you haven't the power to use?...]]
** A more blatant one comes when Baigan joins the party. That brings the party total to six, which is more than can even physically fit in the menu screen, so it's no surprise when he turns out to be lying.
** In the sequel ''The After Years'', checking the Hooded Man's equipment shows he uses his left hand to hold his sword, which is a huge hint on who he really is.
