Line 637:
* {{spoiler|[[David Hasselhoff]]}} as the American Vice President in ''[[Command & Conquer: Red Alert|Command and Conquer: Red Alert 3]]''
* Poseidon in ''[[God of War]] 3''. All of the other gods have at least one other appearance in the game, but Poseidon only shows up during Kratos and the Titans' siege of Mount Olympus {{spoiler|due to being killed during it}}. But boy, is his role in that part [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|memorable]].
* ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]'':
** ''[[Zelda II: The Adventure of Link]]'': "I AM ERROR." A short appearance and [[Misblamed|name that seemed the result of a glitch or poor translation]] endeared Error to the fans forever.
** Canon-wise, Zelda only assumes her Sheik identity in one game, ''[[Ocarina of Time]]'', but has become high-octane [[Fanfic Fuel]] as a result.
** In [[The Legend of Zelda CDI Games]] several minor characters are immensely popular like Morshu who only has two scenes.

* ''[[Golden Sun]]'' fandom is largely convinced that Rief's sister Nowell from ''[[Golden Sun: Dark Dawn|Dark Dawn]]'' will return as a player character in the next game. All we know about her presently is that she doesn't like her little brother getting into danger, and that she ''does'' like Captain Piers enough to [[Put on a Bus|go for an unplanned joyride with him]].
** An even better example from the same game would be [[Shrine Maiden|Himi]], who is ''barely'' a player character—she [[Eleventh-Hour Ranger|joins the party at the last possible second]] and as a result has ''[[Flat Character|literally NO character development whatsoever]]'' (even by Golden Sun's notoriously low standards), but easily rivals [[Estrogen Brigade Bait|Amiti]] and [[Badass Adorable|Sveta]] in sheer popularity with the fandom.
* In [[The Legend of Zelda CDI Games]] several minor characters are immensely popular like Morshu who only has two scenes.

* Inverted in ''[[No More Heroes]] 2: Desperate Struggle''. The game's [[Big Bad]], Jasper Batt Jr. doesn't appear until the very end of the game, but despite that has become a Scrappy character infamous even amongst people that haven't played the game due many planners finding him annoying, pretending to kill most of the cast, and the boss fight with him not being especially cool or fun, and for being [[That One Boss]].
* [[Big Bad|Father Balder]] in ''Bayonetta'' is heard in voice, but doesn't appear on screen till the end of the game, but easily steals the show when he does due to his Badassery and crossing the [[Moral Event Horizon]].
