Line 3: Videogames tend to give you awesome stuff to play with and immediately take it back, giving you little to no time for playing with it, be it awesome and flashy [[Infinity+1 Sword]] which you get to kill the final boss, an interesting and powerful character or a tank you get for only one mission. Very common in [[Class and Level System]] [[RPG~~\|RPGs~~]]s, if you get your final levels and most powerful skills near the very end of the game. If it happens at the beginning of the game, it's [[A Taste of Power]]. ~~<br~~ />If it's a character who appears too late, it's [[Eleventh-Hour Ranger]]. If it's a superpower, it's [[Eleventh-Hour Superpower]]. ~~<br~~ />If it's a character who appears early and then leaves or falls behind, it's a [[Crutch Character]]. ~~<br~~ />If this happens between games, it's [[Bag of Spilling]]. ~~<br~~ />If it happens after finishing the hardest challenge in the game, it's [[Bragging Rights Reward]]. ~~<br~~ />If your wonderful toy is lost because the game ends, [[New Game+]] fixes it, too. {{examples}} * ''[[Jade Empire]]'': most truly awesome styles (e.g. Dual sabers and Iron Palm), but especially the Jade golem and the Red Minister, which you get when the game is almost done. Thankfully, there is a ridiculously difficult [[New Game+\|Jade Master difficulty]], in which they become upgraded from cheap immunity-bearing [[Game Breaker\|GameBreakers]] to essential life-savers. Line 24: First, they give you Jade Curtiss, who is less a mage and more a tactical nuclear weapon (since he's about 40 levels higher than you are). He helps you out during an unwinnable boss fight. His power is then promptly sealed and he's reverted to party level. Quite a bit later, they give you Asch, who is basically a better version of your main character with better equipment and a lot more skills. He's only available for a short time, as well. (Later on in the game, he comes back, but by then he sucks). * While not exactly a weapon, a bicycle is available during a small section of ''[[~~Earthbound~~EarthBound]]''. The bike lets you get around faster in outdoor areas, is capable of outrunning most enemies, and comes with its own background music (with optional bell-ringing sound effects). Following on the heels of your new bike is a second party member, who renders your single-seat bike useless. Heck, the bike comes at a time when you can start buying teddy bears, which follow you like party members, and they render the bike useless too. ** This actually leads to one of the strangest secrets in the game: {{spoiler\|a sound effect that can only be heard by riding the bike in the swamp. This is only possible by ''beating the final boss'', ditching all your partners in the extended epilogue, heading to the swamp, and, of course, remembering that you have an otherwise-useless bicycle in the first place.}} * The first ''[[Onimusha]]'' game features the unlimited-magic-attack, superpowerful Bishamon Sword... immediately before the final boss. And only if you've collected all of the random hidden collectibles throughout the game. Thank god for [[New Game+]]. Line 33: * The first ''[[SaGa]]'' game has the King equipment in the first world. [[Plot Coupon That Does Something\|It is some of the best equipment in the game, but you have to give it up to advance the plot]]. * In ''[[Super Robot Wars Original Generation]] 1'', the first time your units get to combine into [[Super Robot\|SRX]], it only lasts 3 turns and you won't get this ability back until near the end of the game. You also only get 2 of the best characters on the last mission of the game. * Some of the better [[Guest Star Party Member~~\|Guest Star Party Members~~]]s are like this, for instance, in ''[[Final Fantasy IX]]'', {{spoiler\|Beatrix}} is only with you for one short but fun section of the game. * ''[[Burnout]] 3'' has "preview races" in which you and your opponents have much faster cars than you normally would for that point of the game.
