An audio-visual trope found primarily in cartoons, the Alertness Blink is a short chirping sound played when a character becomes aware of something. Usually associated with a flash near their head as a visual cue. Commonly comedic in nature. This trope originated in Western Animation before the advent of dialogue as a visual indicator of shock or surprise. It would often be accompanied by a sharp note. More often than not, associated with the realization of something that leads to Cross-Popping Veins, Luminescent Blush, Blank White Eyes, Color Failure, or the like. Beam of Enlightenment is a similar idea, but it's used differently. Idea Bulb is also similar. Compare Visibility Meter. One common variation (often found in video games) is an ! rather than a random flash of light. There's also the "little crown" variation, most seen in anime. Compare Confused Question Mark. |

One of Chuck Jones' Tom and Jerry shorts plays with the "!" form of this, when Jerry runs off the edge of a building. After realizing there's nothing under his feet, he makes a "?" with surprise, then grabs onto it as the dot part falls away. When he falls, the question mark hooks onto a flagpole, saving him in the nick of time. When Tom runs off the same ledge, he makes an "!" in shock and grabs it, then falls past the flagpole. After noticing it, he bends the "!" into a hook shape, much too late for it to be any help. | |

The Amazing Spider-Man (1978), starring Nicholas Hammond, actually managed to pull off a live-action version of this trope to indicate when Spider-Man's spider sense went off. They'd intercut photo-negative images with the color-corrected images for a few seconds, creating the same effect as a standard Alertness Blink. | |

PAYDAY 3 expands on this somewhat - a yellow "?" indicates something's in a civilian/guard's FOV which hasn't alerted them, a red "!" indicates they're alerted, a yellow "⚠�" indicates a guard's moving to investigate a noise, a "man running" sign indicates a guard's escorting someone out, and handcuffs indicate a guard's moving to arrest someone. Like PAYDAY 2, the sound effect is reserved for whoever's been detected. | |

Undertale and Deltarune share the same ! sprite and sound effect. In Undertale, it plays over the Player Character whenever you're about to enter a Random Encounter. In Deltarune it plays over the enemies when they've spotted you. Some cutscenes in both games use the alert, but in the latter, only the ! is used without the sound in the majority of the cutscenes with few exceptions. | |

In Breath of Fire III, you can try to learn some monster's powers; if the skill is learned, you get a ! over the character's head; if you get a ? instead it means the skill can't be learned.

Honkai Impact 3rd has multiple ways in which enemies' alertness of your presence influences gameplay: In the Sakura Samsara quest in Open World mode, while you're in stealth mode you can sneak up on enemies and perform a One-Hit Kill on them. However, this requires you to get into a round zone directly behind the enemy, and if you get too close from anywhere else, the enemy will react to your presence with a red exclamation point over its head. This cancels stealth mode and the enemy will attack you. Certain stages are populated with enemies that you either have to evade entirely or sneak up on to kill, and cannot be completed unless they're all either evaded or dispatched, respectively. These enemies have a red awareness zone in front of them representing their field of vision, and if you get into this zone, a red gauge will fill showing the enemy becoming more aware of you. If it fills all the way, you're considered to have been seen and will be reset to either the beginning of the stage or the last checkpoint in the stage. Post-Honkai Odyssey features a combination of these. Several enemies have an awareness zone and will attack you if you spend too long in this zone. Also, while there's no stealth mode, you can sneak up to some enemies and perform a One-Hit Kill on them, but it requires avoiding their awareness zone. |

Paper Mario games give the ! in a small speech bubble over enemies upon them spotting you and characters also get this during cutscenes and special events.

Both guards and civilians in PAYDAY 2 do this with a "!" symbol over their heads during stealth mode, to indicate that they've spotted something that has alerted them (dead bodies, loot bags, a player). Players only get a sound effect for it if they're the one who caused the alert state. They will also show a "?" over their heads if something is within their field of view but has not yet alerted them. | |

Often happens in One Piece, particularly in earlier arcs. A hilarious use of this example comes during their entry into the Grand Line, during a freak snowstorm. Usopp has made a snow sculpture, and when Luffy knocks off the head, Usopp has a Delayed Reaction for a bit, until the blink shows up, and then comically falls to the ground before he finally does a Wild Take at his ruined snow sculpture. | |

The Pokémon games use the ! version on opposing trainers when they see the player and engage them in battle. Pokémon Colosseum and XD instead use a yellow flash. | |

In The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, the old man on Windfall Island who asks you to look for his daughter makes the sound and flashes the symbol every time you get in range for him to ask you again. Since he stands right outside the entrance to the main part of the island, you'll have to tap through his dialogue if he gets close enough to you. Fortunately, he stops doing it when his daughter is rescued. | |

Spider-Man does this all the time when his Spider-Sense activates. It's most frequently depicted as jagged bolts around his head, with half of his mask symbolically appearing if he's not in costume. | |

Professor Layton also uses ! whenever you click on a puzzle location. If you're just talking to someone, or examining an object that's important enough to get more than just the usual comment boxes but doesn't have a puzzle, it just results in a "\|/" series of lines. | |
