Line 47:

* In ''[[Okami]]'', removing the sword sealing Orochi causes all of Nippon<ref>"Nippon" is "Japan" in Japanese</ref> to sink into darkness. Large swatches are filled with toxic smog that petrifies humans, plants and animals all over die, buildings are destroyed, and demons roam freely. Thankfully, Amaterasu's first celestial brush techniques, Bloom and Mend, allow you to repair a lot of this damage.

* Guess what the ''[[World of Warcraft]]'' expansion ''[[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|Cataclysm]]'' is named after.

* The plasma wall that surrounds the otherdimensional Schwarzwelt in ''[[Shin Megami Tensei Strange Journey]]'', capable of "disassembling any matter that it touches down to a molecular level." It started as a [[Pillar of Light|1m-wide cylinder that stretched upwards in the middle of Antartica]], but it has been expanding steadily ever since. Should the mission to investigate and destroy the Schwarzwelt fail (or should the Main Character die in combat), the wall will suddenly expand so rapidly as to engulf the entire world in ''seconds'', annihilating everything in its path and leaving behind a world of demons. (This is a [[World-Wrecking Wave]] rather than an [[Apocalypse How]] (though it counts as that too) because if the Schwarzwelt actually did what it was said to be capable of, the result would be more along the lines of "Earth ''vanishing from existence''".)

* The [[Science Is Bad|Scientist's]] special ability in ''[[Spore]]'' is the Gravity Wave, which instantly wipes out all life on a planet. Like the more dramatic [[Earthshattering Kaboom|Planet Buster]], using it will instantly be a mark against you in the eyes of any nearby space empires.

* [[Eldritch Abomination|The Destroyer]] from ''[[The Legend of Spyro Trilogy]]'' will let loose one of these in the advent it finishes it's treck around the world, destroying it in a wave of fire and ash. {{spoiler|Spyro reverses this by emitting a [[World-Healing Wave]].}}
