Line 28:
* ''[[Azumanga Daioh (Manga)|Azumanga Daioh]]'', naturally, plays this to total exhaustion.
* The magic knights of ''[[Magic Knight Rayearth]]'' punctuate their rather serious situation with occasional brief forays into Super-Deformed comedy.
* The deities and demons in ''[[Ah! My Goddess (Manga)|Ah My Goddess]]'' can transform into multiple Super-Deformed miniatures of themselves. There is also a spinoff of ''[[Ah! My Goddess (Manga)|Ah My Goddess]]'' called ''[[Adventures of Mini Goddess (Anime)|Adventures of the Mini-Goddesses]]'' which concentrates solely on the goddesses' miniature selves (and a rat of their acquaintance).
* Similarly, the trainee angels and demons in ''[[Wish]]'' have chibi forms; Angels being full-size during the day and chibi in the night, and vice versa for the demons.
* ''[[Rozen Maiden]]'' contrasts its characters' elegant designs with ventures into Super-Deformed states.
Line 116:
** But ''[[Super Robot Wars Gaiden]]'' used non-Super-Deformed models and it is seen as the best on the SNES. [[Scrappy Mechanic|Then again, that elevation and facing thing may have been an adequate distraction...]]
* Many Japanese games have characters drawn chibi-style in long shots (I.E.: overworld mode, in towns, etc.) and normally during combat or cutscenes. This is likely to keep them recognisable when drawn small at console resolution.
* The first handheld port of the ''[[Guilty Gear]]'' games was a Super-Deformed version of the arcade game, ''Guilty Gear Petit'' (also known as ''Guilty Gear Puchi'' because of [[Spell My Name With an "S"|romanisation issues]]). The characters of ''[[Street Fighter]]'' also appear in chibi form in the games ''Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo'' and ''Pocket Fighter''.
** Both of these were preceded by the [[Game Boy]] ports of [[Samurai Shodown]] and [[Battle Arena Toshinden]], which chibified the characters to better fit them to the screen.
** This technique is also employed in the [[Neo Geo Pocket]] fighting games, like ''[[The King of Fighters]] R-1'' and ''R-2'' (which are pocket versions of '''97''and '''98'', respectively) and ''[[SN Kvs Capcom|The Match of the Millennium]]''.

* Durkon, Belkar and all other dwarf and halfling characters in ''[[Order of the Stick]]'' have smaller bodies than humans and elves but their heads are the same size, and so look disproportionately large on them.
