** So did ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga''. ...Except it was Bowser.

** The titular protagonist of the Danish-made ''Hugo'' TV game had a habit of knocking on the screen to get the viewer's attention.

* ''[[Conkers Bad Fur Day]]'', which ends with the main character winning solely because {{spoiler|the game crashes}}.

** In the remake, during the war chapter, the bullets litteraly break the fourth wall, as they make the screen as it was shot.

* In ''[[Infamous (video game series)|In Famous]]'', the game opens to a simple "Press Start" screen, with a busy street visible. When the player finally presses the start button, a huge explosion occurs, killing thousands and leaving a large chunk of an island a smoking crater - The explosion is actually caused by the main character using the device that gives him superpowers. ''Way to go, hero''.

* The ''[[Disgaea]]'' series is famous for [[Fourth Wall]] tomfoolery and this, down to cases of characters changing each other's names and hacking their titles. "Do you have some reason to believe you can defeat my father? Like... being level 100,000,000?"

* The old Cinemaware game ''[[Rocket Ranger]]'' introduces [[The Man Behind the Man]] by having it slash the victory screen in half.

** ''[[Marvel vs. Capcom 3]]'' also does that by having the boss make his entrance by ripping apart the victory screen (or if you continued, the character select screen) from behind as if it were paper. Likewise, the super move background is also papery --- slashing moves leave marks on it
