History Main / BigHeadMode

* The ''VideoGame/TimeSplitters'' series had a big head mode cheat that could be unlocked (as well as a [[UpToEleven No head, tiny head and spinning head mode]] amongst others).

* ''VideoGame/SpiderMan2000'' and its sequel ''VideoGame/SpiderMan2EnterElectro'' both feature Pulsating Head mode, which causes Spidey's head to expand and contract, as well as Stick Spidey mode, which keeps his head normal sized, but makes his body stick-thin and his neck abnormally long. The two can also be combined for nightmarish results. ''VideoGame/SpiderManTheMovie'' features a more traditional Big Head mode for Spidey, plus a separate Enemy Big Head mode.
