Line 260:
* ''[[Mortal Kombat]]'' brutally averts this trope, as the female fighters can [[Ludicrous Gibs|explode into tiny bits,]] [[High-Pressure Blood|bleed pints from the simplest punch to the face,]] and [[Made of Plasticine|lose limbs]] just as easily as a male fighter can.
** Played straight, however, in Story Mode of some of the more recent installments, where characters cannot die or suffer injury unless the plot specifically requires it. No matter how much abuse the character go through in Story Mode fights, they usually emerge no worse for wear. Cutscenes, on the other hand, not so much.
* The Metroid series plays this straight most of the time, considering all the abuse Samus goes through, heck, Fusion, Super, and Zero Mission use their game over screens as [[Fetish Fuel]]! It's grusomely averted in [[Metroid Prime]] 3 however. You can see Samus's face deteriorate over time due to Phazon poisoniong, and at one point she vomits up Phazon.
