** In ''Other M'', they adapted this trope for use beyond a specific mechanic like Phazon corruption, instead working it into parts of normal gameplay for the first and, so far, only time in Metroid's history. In other words, being [[Genre Savvy]] won't save you if you fail to mash the control pad when the action slows down.

* Both versions of ''[[Sonic Unleashed]]'' have a few of these as well. In the earlier daytime stages, missing a prompt will cause you to take a less efficient path (or, in the harder side-missions, could result in your untimely demise). Mandatory nighttime QTEs are limited to two bosses, the Dark Gaia Phoenix and the Egg Dragoon. Otherwise, it simply helped to gain extra points. Eggmanland in the [[PlayStation 3]]/360 version, on the other hand, are positively full of the mandatory types.

** The portions of the final boss where you control the {{spoiler|[[Humongous Mecha|Gaia Colossus]]}} against Dark Gaia plays out through these in the [[PlayStation 3]]/360 version. Hit the button right, and you slug the monster right in the face. The Wii/PS2 version dispenses with them in that part, allowing you to ''really'' slug the guy in the face, a-la ''[[Punch Out]]''.

** In ''Sonic and the Black Knight'', you gain followers (who may give you goodies as well) by pressing the right button/button combinations shown on screen before the meter depletes. Rather arbitrary, but mercifully, screwing up won't kill you, making this more of a "Press X To Make Friends" thing.

** ''[[Sonic Colors]]'' simplifies these to sections where you simply press A a few times (and are told that your button-pressing is [[Memetic Mutation|Good! Great! Awesome! Outstanding! Amazing!]]).
