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.
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.
