* ''VideoGame/SlyCooper 100''% nets you a "making of" movie.
** In Sly 3, 100% earns you "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HT3K8Z5anQE a music video]]". It's actually totally worth it. Watching it on [=YouTube=] doesn't do it justice.
* Getting every emblem in ''[[SonicTheHedgehog Sonic Adventure 2 Battle]]'' unlocks a 3D version of GreenHillZone. Unfortunately, that means completing every mission with an A rank (some of which are nigh impossible, such as getting 100 rings in a set amount of time when there are only 114 rings in the level), surviving three boss rushes, one racing mini game, and beating all the races and all the levels of karate with your chao.

* ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins'' has the "Easily Sidetracked" achievement for completing 75% of all side-quests (no ordinary feat, considering it's a BioWare game) and the "Traveler" achievement for visiting ''every'' location in the game. The stage of the FinalBattle counts as one.

** ''Sinshine'' also has the Blue Coins. There are 240 of them in the game. No hints are ever given as to where they are, you get no radar (meaning you just have to find them all the hard way--many of which are sheer trial-and-error, such as spraying random areas on the ground), and there isn't even a checklist so people can discuss about them online. The only solace is that the game keeps track of the quantity you've obtained in each stage but not out of how many, so you may already have them all from a particular area and not know it. Clearly, you were supposed to [[GuideDangIt buy the official guide]], but even this guide has several mistakes in the list. No Mario game has done such a thing since.

* To reach the final battle with Specter in the ''VideoGame/ApeEscape'' series, the player is ''required'' to obtain 100% completion (by capturing all the monkeys). However, monkeys aren't the only collectible in ''VideoGame/ApeEscape''. You can reach the final battle without any Specter Coins, for example.
** Not to mention the gold medal you have to get for every level's time trial.

** 100% on ''VideoGame/{{Kirby}} Squeak Squad'' nets you a strawberry shortcake. It does nothing. Turns out [[TheCakeIsALie the cake isn't a lie]], But it's pretty damn useless. [[BigEater (Except for Kirby.)]]
** It takes hours of searching to 100% complete Kirby: The Amazing Mirror, even with the Master power.

* Jirard Khalil, a.k.a. ''WebVideo/TheCompletionist'', does 100% completions on video games, and does humorously informative videos about them on Youtube, completing games like Catherine and Super Meat Boy.

* Getting 100% in ''VideoGame/{{Kirby}} Super Star Ultra'' will get you golden shiny text on your file on the file select screen, a golden rim on the corkboard, and a special Kirby dance video. You can also unlock the original introduction videos by completing Helper to Hero with all twenty helpers.
** Also, 100% in Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land allows you to play through again, but this time as series BadAss Meta Knight. You can't save, though.

* In addition to collecting all 52 (yes FIFTY-TWO) heart pieces, upgrades for your items, great fairy rewards, increasing the capacity of your wallet, quiver, etc. Collecting all the masks in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask'' resulted in you receiving the Fierce Deity's Mask at the end of the game. It is easily the most powerful mask in the entire game, but is only usable during boss fights. Each earned mask also corresponds to a piece of the [[MultipleEndings Segmented Ending]], showing the happy ending of whomever you helped in order to earn the mask.

* The ''Main/GranTurismo'' series of games is demanding enough to achieve 100% completion on, but ''Gran Turismo 2'' was especially noteworthy—due to a rushed port job, it was only possible to recieve a maximum of 98.2% Completion on the official status screen! Sony fixed this, however, and offered replacement discs to people who bought the first run of [=GT2=].

* ''VideoGame/{{Baroque}}'' (a strange sort of roguelike) has the item list which you fill up by giving/sending newfound items to the collector, you can save less then 15 items per tower run and the game has well over 200 items, and it's all random which ones you find in a given run, and even then, you still need to send up your badass gear since you need them to actually finish the tower. [[VideoGame/MonkeyIsland But wait, there's more!]] There's also Idea Sephira, which have a rare drop chance, in addition to counting as items, you can give it to the Baroquemongerer in order for him to add a line of fluff out of around 8 to whichever creature you dropped it from's "profile". Then of course, there are all the storyline videos, one of which there are three variations depending on how your first run ends, (clearing four levels of the dungeon, dying in the dungeon, or getting killed by pissing off an NPC outside the dungeon), and others depending on whether or not you flipped a heat switch regulating whether or not certain levels of the tower are frozen over or not. If that wasn't enough, there's the Baroques, Achievments for doing different actions in game, like clearing a certain point in the story, obtaining a certain number of items, not killing any enemy on a single tower run, includng stepping on the small bugs which can be hard to notice and harder to avoid, or doing absolutely nothing before you die outside the tower, (which means OneHundredPercentCompletion can be impossible for some due to a bug which causes the controller to move slightly), granted, you gain boosts to your stats from gaining theese achievments, but there are loads and loads of them... Now, if you thought, "Okay, that's it, atleast there can't be anything else.." then you're dead wrong, lastly, you have voices, yes, you can collect in the Database, (where everything is stored), certain select voice tracks by hearing them, some of these require quite alot of work to reach, and quite a few of them are missable, there are over 150 of them. Needles to say, it's impossible to manage everything in one playthrough, but everything carries over into a NewGamePlus.

* A gamer finished up DragonQuest IX with a 100% completion rate. Amount of hours played? 773 HOURS.

If you have time, please take time to put examples in alphabetical order. This page Administrivia/HowToAlphabetizeThings should help you with that.

** ''Brawl'' adds stickers to the mix. SEVEN HUNDRED OF THEM. Oh, and 544 trophies. And 128 challenges. [[http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/gamemode/various/various35_list.html Here's a list of all the unlockables.]]

* Achieving 100% in ''VideoGame/JakAndDaxterThePrecursorLegacy'' will net you a bonus ending. All ten ambiguous seconds of it.
** Not quite, despite what the game tells you. You only need 100/101 Power Spheres to unlock the secret ending. However, the UpdatedRerelease gives a platinum trophy upon getting 100%.

* Getting 100% in ''VideoGame/{{Kirby}} Super Star Ultra'' will get you golden shiny text on your file on the file select screen, a golden rim on the corkboard, and a special Kirby dance video.
** As if that's not bad enough, you can unlock the original introduction videos by completing Helper to Hero with all twenty helpers.
** Also, 100% in Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land allows you to play through again, but this time as series BadAss Meta Knight.
*** Sadly, the Meta Knightmare mode ''doesn't allow you to save''. It's still fun, but a little frustrating to complete.

* To get 100% in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheWindWaker'', you have to collect a figurine of ''every single character in the entire game''. To get a figurine, you have to take a photograph of the character, then go to a particular island and have somebody make the figurine from your photo. Your camera can only hold 3 photographs at once. There are '''three hundred''' characters in the game, and more than a dozen of these can only be photographed at specific times: if you miss your chance, you miss your shot at 100%, though you can take a NewGamePlus for a second chance after you beat the game. Also there are a few characters that only appear when you make use of a Game Boy Advance linked to your Gamecube making 100% completion impossible if you do not own a GBA and a Link Cable. This nets you yet another trophy ([[spoiler:Link on board of The King of Red Lions]]), which is unobtainable otherwise.

*** The third game did as well, [[spoiler=which hinted at the plot of the next game and that insomniac wouldn't be making the series anymore.]]

** ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamCity'' is even more infuriating than Arkham Asylum when it comes to 100% completion - assuming they have the 4 [=DLC=] packs, the player needs to complete the main storyline and all side missions '''twice''', complete all 440 Riddler story mode challanges (riddles, trophies, etc.) and aquire all 888 Riddler's Revenge medals.[[note]]There are 31 maps with 3 medals each at a total of 93; these then need to be played again in packs of 3 (maps 1+2+3, then 4+5+6, etc.) for a further 129 medals. These 222 medals then need to be acquired '''''again''''' as Catwoman, Robin, and Nightwing.[[/note]]
