* Equipment macros run ''rampant'' in [=MMORPGs=], to the point where players are expected to actually gear swap for most of everything. Case in point: High-end players in ''FinalFantasyXI'' change their entire wardrobe every 3-5 seconds at worst, mostly due to swapping in [[LimitBreak Weaponskill]] gear to fire one off, then it's back to TP gear.

* Humorously done in Capcom's ''Magical Quest'' series of Mickey Mouse themed platformers. Since Mickey's abilities are based on his current outfit, he can change outfits at any time to switch abilities. When this happens, all movement on the screen stops while Mickey summons a curtain around him while he changes. Once he's done changing, the curtain disappears and the action resumes. This means that Mickey Mouse literally stops time just to change into a firefighter's outfit.

** Due to the inconvenience of pausing and unpausing the game to fiddle with a menu just to swap your footwear, the iron boots have been made into a button-assignable item in later games, meaning that a mere press of their button will cause the boots to appear and disappear from Link's feet.

** ''DungeonsAndDragonsOnline'', as another D&D game, also follows suit. Weapons, clothing, and robes/outfits can be changed with only a tiny amount of lag time, but swapping armor takes a prohibitive few seconds and can be interrupted by getting hit.
