Line 126:
* While most of the bosses int he Xbox [[Ninja Gaiden]] games can come out of nowhere and have no bearing on the plot, the most notable are the Buddha and Statue of Liberty bosses added in Sigma 2. The Buddha is especially jarring since Ryu saves Sonia from her fall like in the original, then the statue returns, Ryu puts it down again, then Ryu goes and unties Sonia with no mention of the GIANT BUDDHA STATUE that Ryu just broke with his sword.
* The game ''[[Pumpkinhead|Blood Wings: Pumpkinhead's Revenge]]'' is all around weird, but if you let Marcie ([[Punky Brewster|Soleil Moon Frye]]) die, she'll appear in a cinematic as a cloaked figure just like everyone else you let die, but then she says "I am the key to your future" and then laughs maniacally for no reason.
* ''[[Embric of Wulfhammers Castle]]'' has the Ancient Scotch sidequest. It starts with randomly drinking a bottle of scotch in the "trophy room", devolves into a [[Cosmic Horror Story]] with overtones of [[Demonic Possession]], then ends abruptly without actually resolving or explaining anything. While nearly everything else you can do in the game comes up again at some point in the story, this whole episode is only spoken of again in the [[
* ''[[Dragons Lair]] II: Time Warp'' features a series of odd levels as you guide Dirk the Daring through time to rescue Princess Daphne. But none however, are quite as strange, (and that's saying something), than the 5th level when Dirk is not only sent back to the year 1804, but is for some strange reason, shrunk down to the size of a mouse in Ludwig Van Beethoven's study, as the famous composer plays on a piano. During the level Dirk must avoid the composer's hungry cat and from there, it gets weird. Yes, weirder than that. Suddenly Beethoven, his piano, the cat and Dirk are sent flying into the air. The level gets even more chaotic as the cat suddenly starts breathing fire. And as one final cherry on top of this sundae of weirdness, Beethoven suddenly opens his coat and his outlandish clothes underneath make him look like Elton John. As soon as all this ends, Dirk suddenly finds his time machine, he's transported away and the level ends. None of this insanity is ever mentioned again.
* In ''[[Chibi Robo]]'', using radar in the living room will eventually lead you to a dig spot in the carpet. Digging into it will reveal a tiny fat blue man with a spark plug for a head in a purple speedo, who will rave at you to "give him sound", which you do by jabbing him with your shovel-spoon repeatedly, causing him to dance as he rapidly grows to several times his size before thanking you and disappearing. You can repeat this any time you enter the living room, it is the only situation in which he appears and doesn't receive any reference or allusion anywhere else, and only Chibi and Telly seem to have any idea he exists.
