Line 116:
*** Bestovius makes reference to this trope, telling Mario that he will not teach him how to flip dimensions for free, and complaining that "heroes always expect everything to be given to them!"
** This goes back to ''Super Mario Bros 3'' where Toad lets you pick one of three boxes and get whatever item is inside it. Why not just let Mario get the items from all three boxes?
** Downplayed with Professor E. Gadd in ''[[Luigi's Mansion|Luigi's Mansion 3]]'', who provides a shop where Luigi can actually spend all the coins he gets in-game. Sure, there's a crisis at hand, with Mario and Peach kidnapped, but Gadd ''does'' give Luigi [[Extra Life| a Gold Bone]] free the first time he uses it. And seeing as Gadd supplies most of Luigi's other equipment for free, it's hard to complain.
* ''[[Persona 3]]'': One of the children was the daughter to a multi-national company. God forbid they spare a couple million yen to help save the world.
** Justified in that the multinational was doing everything in its power to hide that {{spoiler|they caused the problems that she's trying to repair in the first place}}. Why would they do anything that might give away what they're hiding? Even when she takes it over {{spoiler|following her father's murder}}, she still answers to the stockholders and can't pull any resources out of their grip. (Besides, she talks them into giving you a way to buy weapons in the first place - not to mention putting the [[Robot Girl]] on your team, something they could theoretically overrule.)
