Circling Birdies: Difference between revisions

** ''Bubble Bobble Plus'' (WiiWare): They spin out as fast as in the arcade original and end up lying on their back before they poof away. There are no hovering stars. [http://gonintendo.com/?p=72242 According to this.]

* In the [[First-Person Shooter]] ''[[Team Fortress 2]]'', a player hit with a baseball will be temporarily stunned and treated to a third-person view of their character in a dazed trance, complete with "[[Unsound Effect|BONK!]]" written over their heads with stars circling it.

** Unsurprisingly, as it's basically a knockoff of the ''Punchout'' series, Glu's Super KO Fighter 2 uses the trope in the same fashion when a fighter is knocked down. The fighter 15 Cent, a parody of 50 Cent, sees circling dollar signs, for example. Your character sees simple stars. The trope actually factors into gameplay, as the fewer circling items above the character's head, the more likely he is to be able to get back up.

* Happens in ''[[Monster Hunter]]'' to monsters if they get smacked in the head with a blunt weapon enough times, or if they get hit with a flash bomb. Can also happen to the hunters if they get hit with certain attacks, or receive too many hits within a short span of time.
