* In one chapter of ''[[Mother 3]]'', Lucas and his dog Boney need to gain access into a nightclub. However, the club doesn't allow minors or pets, so Boney dons a t-shirt and hat and stands on his hind legs to look more like a person.

[[Bellisario's Maxim|We probably don't want to know]] why they have the wig, but this fits the trope namer to a ''T'', because, in addition to the dress and wig, in all of the other scenes, both brothers have vague-italian accents—though, in this instance, Luigi does a disturbingly accurate impression of Peach...
* In ''[[Primal]]'', the protagonist briefly loses her ability to shapeshift into various demonic forms and is thus forced to dress herself up as demon in order to blend in.
