Line 128:
** In ''Might & Magic VIII'', the Regnan pirates are taking advantage of the chaos in a major way. You get to Regna by hijacking the submarine they had used to stealthily resupply one of their outposts. Once there, you sink a good chunk of the Regnan fleet while it is in harbour by means of a Regnan prototype super-cannon, intended (once they'd made a version that could fit on a ship) to ensure the Empire of the Endless Ocean's complete dominance over the seas.
* In ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'', one of the portrait ghosts, Slim Bankshot, is a billiards master. He'll shoot billiards around the room when you enter, and very rarely, one of them will hit him as he walks around the table.
** In the sequel, ''[[Luigi's Mansion 2: Dark Moon]]'', {{spoiler| in order to defeat King Boo in the [[Final Battle]], Luigi has to fool him into hurting himself. If Luigi takes advantage of his Boo shyness to position him right under one of the falling spiked balls he summons, King Boo is stunned for a couple of seconds, letting Luigi use the Poltergust 5000 on him.}}
* In ''[[Wild ARMs]]'', the demon Berserk lures the heroes into some ruins that happen to have a device that amplifies a demon's powers, with the intent of taking out the heroes with the increased power. Unfortunately for him, a rather trigger happy ally of the heroes happens to be in the same room as the device that controls the amplifier, and proceeds to break the crap out of it (despite not knowing what it does). The result: Berserk actually gets WEAKER, allowing the humans to defeat him. As is typical with this trope, he didn't even NEED the power boost; Berserk was more than strong enough to take them as he was, having toyed with them in the previous encounter(s) with him. Had he fought them elsewhere and seriously, he would've killed them easily.
* In ''[[Pikmin]] 2'', a new enemy called the Decorated Cannon Beetle shoots boulders that home in on the current captain. It's entirely possible to manipulate the boulders into hitting the Cannon Beetle or other enemies in the area. See [[Misguided Missile]].
