* ''VideoGame/{{Siren}}'': Several {{Escort Mission}}s involve you scouting ahead for your escorted and then letting them know when it's safe to pass. (Use sparingly: yelling also attracts the attention of the enemies.)

** Most ''VideoGame/MarioParty'' games let you do this to taunt and/or annoy your opponents.

* ''Videogame/Warhammer40000Boltgun'' has a dedicated taunt button that causes Malum Caedo to yell out some boasts or to taunt his enemies.

* ''{{VideoGame/Stray}}'' has a button to make its cat protagonist meow. Meowing during chapter one will make the mysterious presence guiding you cause the lights it's using to show you where to go to buzz and flicker, in case you couldn't find them. In later areas of the game, it's used to interact with [=NPCs=] or to draw attention from the Sentinels so you can either sneak past them or lure them somewhere out of the way.

* ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsI'' used the Triangle button to call over your friends to you (or, if you where in the air when pressing Triangle, make them jump). [[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsII The second game]] has Triangle as the ActionCommands button instead, where it functions as this when escorting Minnie to the throne of Disney Castle.

* ''VideoGame/TrialsOfMana''--in both the original SNES game and the UpdatedRerelease, Vuscav the turtle has a horn that can be honked while riding him, but it otherwise does nothing except make an amusing sound.

* ''VideoGame/TrialsofMana''--in both the original SNES game and the UpdatedRerelease, Vuscav the turtle has a horn that can be honked while riding him.

** In ''VideoGame/LuigisMansion'', you can press the A button to make Luigi shout "Mario!!" in various inflections. There's little point to it, though it does serve as an auditory check of Luigi's health.

* The ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'' series has Epona's Song in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime'' and ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask'', the Command Melody in ''Wind Waker'' as mentioned above, the Horse Grass and Horse Call in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess'', and whistling in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild''.
** In ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheWindWaker Wind Waker]]'', you can press R to call [=NPCs=] to your side or to activate statues in one dungeon.

* In ''VideoGame/LuigisMansion'', you can press the A button to make Luigi shout "Mario!!" in various inflections. There's little point to it, though it does serve as an auditory check of Luigi's health.

* In ''VideoGame/ABoyAndHisBlob'', the boy will call out for his blob, and the blob will do everything physically possible to make its way back to the boy. If you press the call button three times in a row, the boy will then whistle, causing the blob to [[AntiFrustrationFeature automatically use the balloon ability, ignoring terrain and obstacles, to navigate directly to your location]].

* In ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoSanAndreas'', Carl "CJ" Johnson, the player character is tutored by his [[BigBrotherMentor older brother]] Sweet on how to recruit fellow [[GangBangers Grove Street]] [[ColorCodedForYourConvenience foot soldiers]] for additional firepower to back CJ up when swarmed with enemy gang members. This forms a {{Chekhovs Skill}}, as it is introduced fairly early during the first Los Santos phase, but then not utilized in story missions until late in the game, when endgame events take CJ back to Los Santos after having completed the San Fiero and Las Venturas story arcs. Completing story missions earns CJ [[AllianceMeter "respect"]] which can be used to recruit up to seven additional Grove Street members, which comes in useful when trying to contest gang territory with the rival Ballas gang. Targeting a fellow Grove Street member and recruiting them allows you to issue [[ContextSensitiveButton standard "wait/catch up/disband" commands]].

* In ''VideoGame/Left4Dead'': There's a generic "look" command that is [[ContextSensitiveButton context-sensitive]] and will alert other teammates to whatever weapons, health, enemies or allies that you happen to be looking at. There are also a bunch of meaningless-but-amusing TauntButton-style commands.

* In the first three DLC expansions for ''VideoGame/TheEvilWithin,'' Juli Kidman has the ability to lure enemies to her while behind cover by ducking out and calling, "C'mere!"
