Not all magical travellers have this plot element, some of them just visit earth out of curiosity and others are sent there to make it a better place or reconnect it with their home realm which may be in jeopardy but don't have the Queen competition element (so this trope doesn't include Princesses who would become queen anyway regardless of if they ever visited the planet e.g. ''[[Magical Princess Minky Momo]]'' and ''[[Sally the Witch]]'' who are magical princesses and Earth visitors, but aren't being specifically tested, don't count - Sally ''does'' have magical tests, but these are in regards to her magical skills than her queenly aptitude).

* This is the premise of the third season of ''[[Onegai My Melody]]'', where My Melody and Kuromi are being considered as the new Princess of Mary Land.
* This drives the plot of ''[[Magical Angel Sweet Mint]]''.

* The [[Yu-Gi-Oh!]] TCG references this trope with the card "Trials of the Princess" which is used to turn either [[Magical Girl|White Magician Pikeru]] or [[Dark Magical Girl|Ebon Magician Curran]] into Princess Pikeru or Princess Curran.
