Tulpa and I were talking on discord and we realized there are a massive number of games that unexpectedly turn into shooters out of nowhere! If the vast majority of the game is something else, but becomes a shooter of some kind without warning at some point, especially near the end, it belongs on this list:
- Kirby Superstar
- Kirby’s Dream Land (in the middle, but it still happens)
- Super Mario Land
- Devil May Cry
- Lost Planet (edge case, but I’m putting it here)
- Magic Knight Rayearth
- Star Fox Adventures (Also an edge case because you periodically visit these stages but the final boss being Andross pushes this over for me)
- Super Smash Bros
- Super Smash Bros. Melee
- Super Smash Bros Ultimate
- Kid Icarus
- Loony Tunes (GB)
*Banjo Tooie (edge case, but it does have a rail shooter mini game very different from any part of the game in the middle).
- Nier
- Nier Automata
- Tingle’s Rosy Rupee Land
- Dynamite Headdy
- Metal Slug 3
- Super Frog (Amiga)
- Rocket Knight Adventures
- Kingdom Hearts
- Kingdom Hearts 2
- Kingdom Hearts 3
- Kirby’s Adventure
- Tankz! (PC)
- Solar Jetman
- Digimon World 4
- Knights of the Old Republic (edge case but close enough)
(I’ll update this as more games come in)
