Line 94:
* You have to rescue your love interest in ''[[Meat Boy]]''.
* The ''[[Clonk]]'' level "Dragon Rock" plays this [[Excuse Plot|unashamedly straight]], right down to the evil mage-with-a-dragon doing the kidnapping. In "Tower of Despair" it's the king, and the dragon itself is the capturer, but otherwise it's pretty much the same.
* ''[[Ghosts 'n Goblins
* In ''[[Jackie Chans Action Kung Fu]]'', Jackie has to rescue Josephine, who is either his twin sister or his girlfriend, from an [[Evil Sorcerer]] who abducts her in a ''[[Ghosts 'n Goblins
* ''Crusader'', an obscure [[Platform Game]] by [[Compile]] for the [[MSX]], is the source of the quote: "Princess has been kidnapped! You must save princess."
* In ''[[A Boy and His Blob]] in: The Rescue of Princess Blobette'', you [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|have to rescue Princess Blobette]].
Line 118:
* One segment of the main plot in [[Dragon Age]]: Origins has the Warden breaking into Arl Howe's estate to rescue Queen Anora, who is kept there by her father against her will. The Rescue the Princess aspect is really overshadowed by the [[Crowning Moment of Funny|Fort Drakon escape following it]] and the fact that [[Kick the Son of a Bitch|Howe finally gets what's coming to him]].
* Your first real goal in ''[[Knights of the Old Republic]]'' is to rescue Bastila from the swoop gang that recovered her from a crashed escape pod and is now offering her as a prize in an upcoming swoop race. Then, two-thirds of the way through the game, Malak captures her... (Of course, [[Star Wars|the movie whose universe KotOR is set in]] had [[Save the Princess]] as a good chunk of its plot as well.)
* Oh, so very, ''very'' much subverted in ''[[Live a Live]]'': Orsted sets out to rescue his princess bride-to-be in an opening obviously [[Homage|inspired by]] ''[[Ghosts 'n Goblins
* Your first real objective in ''[[Chrono Trigger]]'' is to retrieve the girl who has fallen through a time warp; and sure enough she turns out to be a princess. Subverted in that when you get back, you're put on trial for kidnapping her in the first place. You end up having to dive through another time warp in order to evade the guards, and that's where the ''real'' adventure begins.
* One mission in ''[[Mass Effect 3]]'' will have Shepard saving a {{spoiler|krogan}} princess.
