Whenever there's an earthquake, a particularly large Monster of the Week, or The Horde coming, this will often be demonstrated subtly (or not so subtly) by showing a small object (like a lamp or a small pile of coins) vibrating, then jumping around as the vibrations get stronger (or the monster gets closer). Alternatively, this can be done with ripples in a pool of water. Mostly, the camera starts shaking (and possibly the people, too), for added emphasis. Made easier in console video games by the vibrating "rumble" motors built into most controllers. See also Wormsign. |

The Super Mario Bros. Movie: As the Toads evacuate the Mushroom Kingdom as Bowser's army is about to invade, one of them drops a box of fruit, which rattle on the ground as Bowser's Castle ominously appears in the sky. A little later, the home of Mario's family starts to shake just as the heroes, villains and Bowser's Castle are being warped to Brooklyn. |

Done subtly (at first) in the second Ace Ventura movie. As the villain is indulging in a low-key Evil Gloating with a slight What Could Possibly Go Wrong?, everyone falls silent as they feel the house start to vibrate. At first, it's quiet, as if they could possibly be imagining the sound. But it gets louder, and louder, until a horde of animals bursts through the wall, followed by Ace on a flamingo in a Big Damn Heroes moment. | |

In the Outland area of World of Warcraft, there are wandering demonic golems known as Fel Reavers. They are absolutely monstrous in scale, far larger than anything the player had encountered up to that point. Not only does your screen shake as they draw near, but you can hear their footsteps. Even more fearsome is their mechanical roar, which makes the screen shake violently, letting the player know that a massive death machine is very close. Luckily, their eyesight is terrible. Due to the way aggro works in the game, they'll only notice you if you're very close to them on the ground. You can fly a flying mount right through its face and it won't attack. | |

In "The Rescue", Dark Trooper droids are remorselessly punching their way through a blast door behind which our heroes are barricaded, with everything on The Bridge shaking in tune with every pound on the door. |

In Stargate SG-1 when Carter and O'Neill activate a stargate in Antarctica, a vibration happens which is so strong that it could make ripples in Daniel's glass of water ≈8,000 miles away. The gate doesn't work properly but it's used by Daniel to find them so the bad bit may be debatable here. It is then pointed out that Stargate Command had come across the vibration problem years ago and installed dampers on their gate to stop it. | |

King Kong (2005): Denham is filming a herd of grazing Brontosaurus at the end of a corridor ruin when they're startled by a pack of Venatosaurus, and start to stampede. The rest of the crew is further down the corridor, unaware of what's happening, but they realize something's wrong when the ground starts rumbling hard enough for bricks to be shaken off the walls. Cue Denham running back in terror, followed by a thousand tons of panicking dinosaurs. | |

Super Mario Bros. In the prologue of Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, Bowser's castle is hit by an earthquake upon Exor landing from the sky. Paper Mario: In Paper Mario 64, Peach's castle rumbles as Bowser makes his move to carry the castle into the sky. Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door: In the final chapter, the moment when The Shadow Queen possesses Peach, the whole world is hit by a large rumbling. Super Paper Mario: Each time The Void grows in size, an quick earthquake occurs. Likewise, in Chapter 6, prior to Sammer Kingdom being destroyed, the vibration grows larger as its time is almost up. In Super Mario Odyssey, Mario and Cappy's trip to Bowser's Kingdom gets interrupted when their ship gets shaken, upon stepping outside they see Bowser... with an enormous dragon. |

ReBoot: During his fight with Megabyte, Matrix gets hit hard and slides down the outside of the Principle Office. He stops at the very edge of a massive hole, his head just over the edge. He lays there, barely conscious for a time, as small tremors begin. The tremors quickly get louder, coinciding with a metallic clanking, until Matrix's body jolts with each impact. Then the tremors stop, and we see Megabyte over top Matrix, about to deliver a killing blow. | |

BattleTech: Battlemechs make very distinctive tremors whenever they take a step, regardless of whether they're on paved or natural surfaces. This is actually exploited in-universe: mechs have sensors to detect enemy mechs that they can't see by picking up their footsteps, and vibromines are a special type of land mine that is set off by mech footsteps. Though as a disadvantage, the mines need to be programmed to go off based on a mech's size, which means that mechs lighter than the designated weight can pass through without setting them off while mechs that are heavier will set the mines off prematurely before they actually step into the minefield. | |

Jurassic Park (1993) has a much-parodied scene where ripples in a glass of water foretold the arrival of the Tyrannosaurus rex. It later recurs when Malcolm notices rippling in a puddle formed by the tyrannosaur's footsteps. Notably does not happen at the end; to be fair, the main characters were probably a bit distracted by the Velociraptors trying to eat them to notice that the ground is shaking a little. | |

Subverted delightfully in Tremors 2: Aftershocks, with sheets of metal instead of water. As the movement gets more violent, and the heroes assume the monster just out of view has to be huge to be making it, so they point their guns higher and higher... until a little beast about half their size hops into view. What's even better is that the camera shot is set up so that the audience fully expects it as well, waiting for the giant inserted-by-special-effects monster to come lumbering around the corner of the building. Also subverted when the approaching rumbles turned out to be Burt Gummer arriving in a heavy truck loaded with weaponry. |

Godzilla: In Godzilla (1998), GINO is making cars shake with each step during its first foray in New York... but no longer later in the movie. In Godzilla (2014), Joe and Sandra Brody are rather worried about the earthquake that seems to have hit the Janjira nuclear plant. Then Joe realizes that it can't be an earthquake because A) none of the other plants in the region are reporting tremors, B) the vibrations are too concentrated and regular for an earthquake, and C) the vibrations are slowly but surely increasing in strength. In Shin Godzilla, tiles are shown rattling and falling off a traditional Japanese home as Godzilla passes. |

StarCraft: Starcraft I: Ghost's promo cinematic features an overconfident Marine captain leading a company to retake a Zerg-held refinery. Confident that the Zerg force is minimal to absent, he orders his troops forward en masse. He senses a deep rumble in the ground, pauses, and demands to know who had called for heavy armor support. When his lieutenant informs him that there are no tanks in the area, he realizes: that rumble is coming from the enemy. And in StarCraft II, when Raynor and Tychus show up to save General Warfield, a massive swarm of incoming Zerglings is heralded by rattling shell casings on the ground. |

Justified in Warhammer 40,000, as the Humongous Mecha put the emphasis on the humongous. If you don't feel the minor earthquakes these things cause with every footstep, you deserve what you get. Not to mention that in many Apocalypse games, when custom Titans are brought in, you're moving figures that are over 18" tall. Needless to say, things shake, even on the real tabletop. | |

Doctor Who: In the 1996 TV movie, when the TARDIS is sabotaged, the Doctor's tea not only vibrates but develops its own little whirlpool. Played with in "The Beast Below", where it's a plot point that the liquid in a glass of water isn't vibrating. Inverted in "The Big Bang", where the vibration signals the return of the TARDIS, which is always a good thing. |

In Yokoka's Quest, the ground shook before the emergence of the tunnel dwellers on both occasions. Lady Pachi and her team were aware of what the shaking signified, though on the second occasion mistook the heavier rumbling for a big tunnel dweller rather than two tunnel dwellers. | |

Tremors The first movie runs on this all the way long, as vibrations signal the approaching subterranean monsters. Subverted delightfully in Tremors 2: Aftershocks, with sheets of metal instead of water. As the movement gets more violent, and the heroes assume the monster just out of view has to be huge to be making it, so they point their guns higher and higher... until a little beast about half their size hops into view. What's even better is that the camera shot is set up so that the audience fully expects it as well, waiting for the giant inserted-by-special-effects monster to come lumbering around the corner of the building. Also subverted when the approaching rumbles turned out to be Burt Gummer arriving in a heavy truck loaded with weaponry. |

In Noita, the screen shakes whenever explosions go off, but continuous shaking is a sure sign that a large and dangerous Worm is burrowing nearby. | |

The Turok (2008) game would hint that Mama Scarface, the Tyrannosaurus of the game, was nearby with slight tremors indicating her footsteps, as well as environmental effects; like small rocks and pebbles crumbling from around the title character, and the sounds of tree branches breaking. Occasionally, there would be the slight echo of her roaring. Would end up being Paranoia Fuel for some of the time, as she didn't appear immediately afterwards for most of these instances, just leaving the player to wander the jungle, expecting for an encounter, but for nothing to happen. | |

In Godzilla (2014), Joe and Sandra Brody are rather worried about the earthquake that seems to have hit the Janjira nuclear plant. Then Joe realizes that it can't be an earthquake because A) none of the other plants in the region are reporting tremors, B) the vibrations are too concentrated and regular for an earthquake, and C) the vibrations are slowly but surely increasing in strength. | |

Star Trek: Voyager: In "Alliances", Captain Janeway tries to arrange a Peace Conference between the Kazon and the Trabe. Suddenly the table starts vibrating, heralding the arrival of a Big Damn Gunship which opens fire on everyone inside. In "Year of Hell", Janeway's ready room gets trashed after a series of attacks, but she's glad to find her lucky coffee cup has survived intact. Just then Voyager is attacked again and she rushes to the bridge, not seeing her cup get knocked off the table by the vibrations and smash on the floor. |

Starcraft I: Ghost's promo cinematic features an overconfident Marine captain leading a company to retake a Zerg-held refinery. Confident that the Zerg force is minimal to absent, he orders his troops forward en masse. He senses a deep rumble in the ground, pauses, and demands to know who had called for heavy armor support. When his lieutenant informs him that there are no tanks in the area, he realizes: that rumble is coming from the enemy. | |

In the last episodes of Code Lyoko, the Kolossus makes the Ice Replika and Ice Sector shake with each step... including the Skidbladnir, although this ship isn't even in contact with the ground. (Technically, it is tethered to the tower; physics are kind of messed up in Lyoko.) | |
