Cranium Ride: Difference between revisions

** And the ever-helpful Support Ghost from Sluggy the Unshaven's fort, who makes an appearance in the Yoshi's Island stage of ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl.''

* ''[[Super Mario Bros 3]]'' features the Parabeetle, a red, winged version of the normal Buzzy Beetles that can be ridden on, though doing so would cause them to also fly ''up'' as well as straight ahead. (A [[Palette Swap]]ped green version appeared in a few [[Dummied Out]] levels.)

*** This may have something to do with the fact that they're just barely airworthy as is. [[Fridge Brilliance|Even the slightest relative weight is more than their lift can handle, just with a real airframe.]]

* ''[[Super Mario 64]]'': In Snowman's Land, Mario can ride across the bridge on the giant penguin's head to avoid being blown off. However, it may or may not work, so the player can also walk beside the penguin as it blocks the wind.

** You can ride the head of the sea monster in Hazy Maze Cave. In fact, to reach the [[Secret Level]] in the back, you need the extra height to jump high enough. And in the DS version, you need to climb up there to get the Wario hat.

* ''[[Mega Man X]] 3'' also had something similar: dragonfly enemies that you can stand on to reach higher areas. The twist with them, though, is that this only works when you're not firing your weapon; start shooting, and they start shooting, too, making your moving ledge useless.

* The NES game ''[[Legacy of the Wizard]]'' allowed you to do this, although you continuously took damage while doing so. One of the playable characters, being a monster itself, would not be hurt from riding enemies.
