* ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog]]'':
** Sonic collects rings. If he's hit, he loses his rings instead of dying.
** The shields found throughout the series also qualify.

* In the ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' series, just about any time Mario takes a hit he loses his current powerup ([[Powerup Mount|Yoshi]], Mushroom, Fire Flower, etc.).
* In ''[[League of Legends]]'', Sivir has the "Spell Shield" ability, which blocks a single enemy spell.

* In ''[[Crash Bandicoot]]'' series, the witch Doctor's mask [[Big Good|Aku-Aku]] protects him (and Coco, etc) from one hit. Picking up another will give you two hits of protection, while grabbing a third will then give you temporary invincibility, which then resets back to two shields.
** ''[[Crash Team Racing]]'' however changes it. The Aku-Aku mask is full invicibility, while the actual shield item gives temporary protection from a single attack/hazard, Having ten Wumpa fruit turns the shield green, meaning it lasts forever, so long as you don't take a hit.

** Module C1 ''The Hidden Shrine of Tamoachan''. A fighter can receive a scroll that gives him a Death Servant. At any time thereafter, if the fighter is about to be killed, the Death Servant will push the fighter to safety and accept the attack that would have killed the fighter. It will only do this once.

* Reactive armor, on tanks, is designed so that when hit by a shaped-charge...[[Shoot the Bullet|it explodes]]. It actually works quite well, but the explosives get used up. A lot of anti-tank rocket launchers are now being designed with two barrels—one rocket takes out the armor, the second gets the tank.
