Line 88:
** Doubles if the [[Voice with an Internet Connection]] [[Mission Control]] states that the floor has no enemies, more enemies, or rarely still, ''all enemies as gold Shadows''. The time limit is invisible, but in those cases, it will take half, nay, ''quarter'' the usual time limit until Death spawns.
** Also, drawing a tainted card in a Shuffle Time will reduce the timer faster.
** Luckily, Death is easily escapable, and for higher-leveled parties, beatable. Because [[Atlus]] [[That One Boss/Other Games/Atlus|loves to make you suffer]], in fact, one of Elizabeth's requests ''requires'' you to kill the Reaper. (If you know how to use Armageddon, this can be done without fret; otherwise, steel thyself.)
* ''[[Recettear]]'' has powerful enemies which spawn if you linger on one floor of a dungeon for too long.
* In ''[[Final Fantasy XII]]'' your time at the Barheim Passage can become really nasty if you don't keep the lights on
Line 215:
{{quote|'''Algalon''': Farewell, mortals. Your bravery is admirable, for such flawed creatures. You are... out of time. *disappears*}}
* In ''[[Final Fantasy XI]]'', certain world-spawned (only one to a world) High Notorious Monsters ([[HN Ms]]) will go into an [[Unstoppable Rage]] with attack and defense stats sky-high if not killed within a certain amount of time after the fight started. Pretty much certain death. In this case, the dev team put in rage mode as a countermeasure to players attempting to manipulate the spawn timers to keep it in their time zone; players from all time zones (and all around the world) are supposed to have a shot at it.
* ''[[City of Heroes]]'' features a number of situations like this in newer missions, where there

Line 257:
* Can't beat a boss within the time limit in ''[[Zanac]]''? The game will increase the AI's difficulty. Thanks, Compile. In area 11, if the fortress isn't defeated in the time limit, player goes back to the beginning of the stage.
* Capcom [[Shoot'Em Up]] ''[[1942|1943]]'', not to be outdone by Compile, forced players to redo battleship stages if the player could not destroy 70% of the boss battleship. More often than not, the player restarted the level with low fuel and the default weapon. But if the player couldn't complete the mission with special weapons and a full fuel tank, then how...?
* Some [[Shoot
** ''Gradius V'' has one midboss that is guaranteed to take out a life if you don't kill it, because it's taller than the screen's height and, upon timeout, goes from the right-hand side of the screen to off the left-hand side in a straight line.
*** The [[Spider Tank]] boss has a [[Wave Motion Gun]] that can only be avoided by hiding behind one of the blocks, and it will eventually fire it in a place where there's no cover.

* Unlike all other games in the ''[[Ace Combat]]'' series, ''[[Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere]]'' (at least, the original Japanese version) didn't give you a hard time limit. The time limit in the briefing instead indicated how fast you have to destroy the initial enemies to get a mission update and more enemies (with whom you could totally [[Take Your Time]] unless you were going for A-rank completion) and a better mission ending. Said endings mainly differed in dialogue but some resulted in story branching: completing "Ghosts of the Past" on time, for example, lets you play a hidden mission revealing more of the [[MacGuffin Girl]] Rena's [[Backstory]], while taking too long gives you the default counter-terrorism assignment next.
