** [[TheAtoner Cammy White]] has blonde hair and wears a green LeotardOfPower with a red cap and red gloves. Her leotard is colored blue in her "Killer Bee" persona when she was a villain which could count as a subversion of this trope.
** Three of the franchise's {{Shotoclone}} characters would qualify. First there is Sakura, Ryu's [[AscendedFanboy Ascended Fangirl]] who wears a white and blue school uniform and red sneakers and sparring gloves. Her friend and rival Karin has blonde hair and wears a red school uniform and a blue hair ribbon. Sean Matsuda, Ken's protege, wears a yellow gi and red sparring gloves. In ''VideoGame/StreetFighterV'', he wears a yellow jogging outfit with red sneakers and his signature red gloves.

** Furthermore, [[spoiler:throughout the game, the protagonist wears a blue and magenta striped shirt. If you get the "genocide" (bad) ending, it reveals that the ultimate villain, the 'Fallen Child', looks nearly identical to the protagonist, but wears a yellow and mint green shirt of similar design.]]

* ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'': Super Mario - blue overalls, red shirt and hat, yellow buttons. He was designed as the hero of ''VideoGame/DonkeyKong'' after Shigeru Miyamoto lost the rights to use ComicStrip/{{Popeye}}. Since then, he's gone on to become the most iconic hero, and character period, in gaming. Essentially the Superman of his medium.

* Almost every ''VideoGame/FireEmblem'' Lord wears this color scheme too. Usually blue clothes with a yellow trim, and a red cape (at least on the inside of it). [[VideoGame/FireEmblemShadowDragonAndTheBladeOfLight Marth]] kickstarted the trend, followed by [[VideoGame/FireEmblemGenealogyOfTheHolyWar Seliph]], all four [[VideoGame/FireEmblemTheBlazingBlade Elibe]] [[VideoGame/FireEmblemTheBindingBlade Lords.]] [[VideoGame/FireEmblemPathOfRadiance Ike]] sported this color scheme as the Hero of Tellius, despite not being a noble like previous heroes. [[VideoGame/FireEmblemRadiantDawn Micaiah]] wears it as well in much sublter fashion. [[VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening Chrom]] only wears desaturated and darker blue clothes with a yellow trim, however his usual sword and its scabbard are red. In addition to being the main characters, they also cause an instant game over if they die, so it's important to watch them on the map.
* Captain Falcon of ''VideoGame/FZero'' - blue body suit, red helmet, yellow boots and nipples. Despite having a very loose plot, he's the series' most iconic character, default choice for player one, and the ''Smash Bros.'' representative. The anime adaptation makes it that 'Captain Falcon' is a [[LegacyCharacter mantle,]] not an individual, making the color scheme even more relevant.
* Despite Venus adepts association with the color yellow, Isaac the hero of ''VideoGame/GoldenSun'' wears a blue outift with a red breast plate. The only yellow on him are his ScarfOfAsskicking and blonde hair.

* Captain Olimar from ''VideoGame/{{Pikmin}}'' has a yellow spacesuit with red accents. In the third game, he even has two blue buttons on his suit. This trope is even further supported by the red, yellow and blue Pikmin types he has been assisted by since the series' beginning.
** Olimar's companion Louie has a similar spacesuit, but with blue accents instead of red.
** The enemies in the series don't have any special color scheme, showing how the world in the game works as an ecosystem rather than a world about good and evil. However, the Emperor Bulblax is [[SecondaryColorNemesis green-coloured with an (in)famous purple tongue]], and being the final boss from the first game, it is widely considered by fans to be Olimar's archenemy.
* ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'': Being a Mickey Mouse stand-in, Sora's costumes are primarily red, yellow, and black. However to invoke this trope as the hero, he does have bright blue eyes, a blue stripe near the hilt of his sword and subtle blue accents on most of his costumes. [[http://www.khwiki.net/Form:Sora Usually the belt, hood, or undershirt.]]
* ''Franchise/{{Kirby}}'':
** The titular hero is a pink creature with red shoes and blue eyes. Additionally, he is often seen alongside a yellow warp star that serves as his main mode of transportation.
** King Dedede, while originally Kirby’s archenemy, has become more of a protagonist as the series has progressed. He is a blue bird with a yellow beak, and his outfit includes a red coat and hat, yellow gloves and shoes (and sometimes a yellow undershirt), and a sash in various primary colours.
** [[AntiHero Meta Knight]] is a [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]] example. He has purple hues in his design to indicate his status as a gruff, hardened badass. However, he also has blue skin, yellow eyes and a gilded sword, showcasing his noble character that occassionally helps out Kirby on his adventures.

* ''VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorneyDualDestinies'', Phoenix Wright, the titular character and main hero, wears a blue suit and magenta tie, with a yellow pin and chain. [[ChromaticArrangement This can also be extended]] to the [[BeautyBrainsandBrawn Wright Anything Agency]] as a whole--[[TheSmartGuy Phoenix]] being the blue aspect, [[HotBlooded Apollo]] the red aspect, and [[GenkiGirl Athena]] the yellow aspect.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nP3ccMoQNHo One of the trailers]] for ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'' makes a point to compare four big mascots in terms of their primary colors: Mario representing Red, Sonic and Mega Man each representing Blue, and the newly-revealed VideoGame/PacMan representing Yellow.
* Surprisingly, ''VideoGame/MonsterHunter'' features this with two of the Four Mascots of ''Monster Hunter X'', Dinovaldo and Gamuto.

* ''VideoGame/BanjoKazooie'':
** Banjo and Kazooie themselves qualify in an unique way. Banjo has a blue backpack and wears yellow shorts while Kazooie is a red bird with some yellow feathers. Considering how important the team aspect is to the games, they end up fitting as this.
** Mumbo Jumbo, who helps the duo out on several occasions, also qualify. He has a yellow [[SkullForAHead skull-shaped head]], large blue eyes, bright pink skin, and red feathers atop his head.
* [[VideoGame/ConkersBadFurDay Conker]] is a red squirrel who wears a blue hoodie and dark blue-yellow sneakers. Not that he is [[NominalHero heroic or anything]], but he is at least less worse than [[CrapsackWorld most people he meets]].
* In ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'', Undyne, considered the underground's greatest hero, has blue skin, red hair, and yellow eyes.
** Furthermore, [[spoiler:throughout the game, the protagonist wears a blue and magenta striped shirt.
