Line 99:
* Complete any level in ''[[Peggle]]'' (''ANY'' level) and the game goes into slow-mo, cranks up ''[[Ode to Joy]]'', and draws a trail of rainbows behind your ball.
* ''Castle Crashers''. From fighting giant literal Cat Fish, weird..Giant fuzzy black things...Cute Teddy bears that attack you with dead fish, using a lollipop or a carrot as your own weapon... FIGHTING TO THE DEATH TO SEE WHO KISSES THE PRINCESSES AFTER YOU BATTLE HEROICALLY TOGETHER TO SAVE THEM.
* In ''[[Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World]]'', epic music plays as Regal does what can only be described as turning off the lights. Sure he's using special handcuffs, but Regal wearing handcuffs is not exactly something new.
* Taking the Daredevil trait in ''[[The Sims]] 3'' allows you to go EXTREME versions of mundane things. 'Read something EXTREME' or 'Take EXTREME shower', for example.
** Taking the Evil trait gives you actions like 'Wash hands with evil soap' and 'Read something maniacal'.
Line 143:
* ''[[Saints Row the Third]]'' had a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a7YI2NXTiyc trailer] which promised the game to be huge and full of never before seen footage from the game... of someone being punched in the nuts to truly epic music. As one Youtube comment claims, [[Grand Theft Auto]] raises the bar, [[Saints Row]] holds it to its crotch and pretends it's a cock.
* ''[[Dustforce]]'' makes cleaning awesome by adding trickjumps, wall running and slow-motion.
* In ''[[The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim]]'', [[Our Dragons Are Different|dragons]] don't [[Breath Weapon|breathe fire]] so much as [[Reality Warper|wish it into existence]] with the [[Make Me Wanna Shout|Thu'um]]. Whichever smart-ass wrote the loading screen dialogs took this fact to the conclusion that when two dragons fight, they're really having an intense verbal debate.
** So does that make this an inversion? Awesome Made Mundane?
* ''[[Asura's Wrath]]'', with Wyzen turning Giant sized, bigger than the planet, trying to poke asura to death with a single finger. a finger as big as a country, but still a finger nonetheless. It's practically a [[Signature Scene]] for the game in how mundane it is.
