I Was Told There Would Be Cake: Difference between revisions

** At the very beginning of ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', the Koopalings kidnap Peach by [[Trojan Horse|ambushing her from within a huge cake]] and then trapping her with it.

** In ''[[Paper Mario (franchise)|Paper Mario]]'', [[Punny Name|Tayce T.]] gives you a cake for returning her frying pan. You also have to bake a cake for an extremely fat Shy Guy.

* ''[[Portal (series)|Portal]]'' uses the big contrast between the hell that Chell is expected to perform through and the pettiness of the reward of Cake as humor. It exaggerates this pettiness with the {{spoiler|[[Room Full of Crazy]]'s}} over-dramatic exclamation of "[[The Cake Is a Lie]]", and sends up the concept of video games rewards in general.

** The whole cake thing came about in development, when the team sat down to decide what philosophy the game would be based around. After a while of thinking, someone suggested, "A lot of people like cake."

* In ''[[RuneScape]]'''s Thanksgiving 2011 holiday event, Turkey Protest, one of the turkey attendees seems to find the protest boring and is only present because he was told there would be cake.

* In ''[[Atelier (franchise)|Atelier]]'' games, cakes usually have very rewarding cost-to-profit ratio (not to mention being a good recovery item by itself). In ''Atelier [[Unfortunate Names|Viorate]]'', you can fill your [[An Entrepreneur Is You|shop]] with cakes and then go adventuring without much worries about your finance.
