* In ''VideoGame/{{Anachronox}}'', Democratus becomes inexplicably insistent on joining your party when you're supposed to go to Limbus for the first time. If you try to leave the room without them, they stop you each time by pointing out that they would like to come along, and you can't proceed until you let them. [[spoiler:They turn out to be extremely relevant some time afterwards, when your only rescue from explosive decompression is to restore the planet to full size.]]

** In ''VideoGame/Persona5Tactica'', after the player is given access to every single member of the Phantom Thieves, the game allows players to choose a team of up to three different Phantom Thieves. However, there are certain story missions or side quests that lock the player into using at least one or two characters in a team, with one character of the player's choice. Late into the game, Lavenza will give out challenges that require the player to use a pre-set team in order to accomplish a certain objective in order to unlock the last skills in the Phantom Thieves' repertoire. The ''Repaint Your Heart'' DLC goes even further with its optional challenges, requiring the player to use a team with a pre-determined set of skills, sub-personas, and weapons.

* In ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosBrawl'''s Subspace Emissary mode, when you head out to fight the FinalBoss, your party will always include [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Luigi]], [[VideoGame/EarthBound1994 Ness]], [[Franchise/{{Kirby}} King Dedede]], [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Bowser]], Franchise/{{Kirby}}, and [[spoiler:Franchise/{{Sonic|TheHedgehog}}]]. Anyone else you want needs to be collected as a trophy in the immediate two levels before the VeryDefinitelyFinalDungeon and restored to normal form ([[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Ganondorf]] in particular can't be unlocked unless you've unlocked both [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Link and Zelda]]). On the other hand, [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Toon Link]], [[VideoGame/StarFox Wolf]], and [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Jigglypuff]] can't be unlocked until [[PostEndGameContent after the final boss is defeated]].
* In the [[VideoGame/SuperSmashBros Smash]]-like PlatformFighter ''VideoGame/CartoonNetworkPunchTimeExplosion'', [[WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor Numbuh One]] is locked in as the first party member during the K.N.D. Treehouse in Story Mode since his candy guns are necessary to activate the door switches scattered throughout the level.

** And throughout the entire game you have to pick up James, EDI, and Liara and they cannot be killed outside of a BadEnding or otherwise removed from the ship, nor is there any point in the previous games where they can die. Garrus is similar, but he can die in the finale of the second game, in which case he won't appear in the third. If he is, he automatically joins you party, and don't have the option to reject him.

*** The Hierophant/Lovers full moon requires you to bring Yukari (because your party was fixed last time and did not include her) so you can fall into The Lovers's mind control. This is slightly more lenient in ''Portable'' for the heroine -- you'll need a full party, which ensures that you'll have to bring at least one of the guys.

* In the ''GIJoe'' game for the NES, you get to take three of the Joes with you for each mission, but the first slot is always taken by a mission specialist, such as requiring Blizzard for the snowfield mission. Everyone on the roster gets their time to shine until the last mission, which gives you access to General Hawk, who is the best and most overpowered character in the game, and required for that last mission.
