Faster-Than-Light Travel is a staple of Space Opera that allows an "out" to the unfortunate fact that space is honking big, making it impossible (within physics as we understand it now) to get anywhere remotely interesting within the average lifetime of a civilization. This has been an issue for writers since The '50s or so; before then you could get away with having your aliens come from Neptune without totally losing the audience. Nowadays, we know that the rest of our solar system is almost certainly devoid of other life forms — so we've got to go to other stars.
And that's where the "space is honking big" part comes in. Other planetary systems are so far away from us that it takes even the fastest thing in the universe — light itself — years, decades, or millennia to reach themnote Even the closest system to our own, Proxima Centauri, is about 4 light-years away and would take about 6,300 years to reach with current space travel technology. Thus, in order for the protagonists to be able to plausibly visit a new Planet of Hats every week, they need to travel through space at speeds faster than that of light. The problem is that as far as present-day science is concerned, going faster than — or even just as fast as — the speed of light is, for all human intents and purposes, impossible.
There's a whole bunch of stuff about this on the analysis page. For even more information, see Rockets and Propulsion Methods.
For the record, c, the speed of light in a vacuum, is defined as 299,792,458 metres per second. note It's the same everywhere, so the metre is actually defined by reference to c rather than the other way around. This works out to about a billion km/h. If light is not in a vacuum, it gets a little slower in certain cases (see Cherenkov radiation). It's the speed of light in a vacuum that's the limit. It's not just a good idea, it's the law!
Use of this trope is an absolute requirement for the employment of Casual Interstellar Travel.
No relation to FTL: Faster Than Light, although it does use the trope heavily.
Used during establishing shots as per Sci-Fi Flyby.

Captain Ufo: The Widowpunisher (and supposedly all other spaceship in the universe) FTL speed is called "hyperblur" in-universe. The ship opens a wormhole to it's destinations and travels through it. In season two we see that the inside of the wormhole is a tunnel-like place, and that travelling through it is not instant, so it's a kind of hyperdrive,

The RPG 2300 AD (made by the same company as Traveller, but in a different setting) used the "stutterwarp", a method of going between stars (and traveling in-system) by making instantaneous micro-jumps. The faster the engines could cycle, the faster you could "move" through real space, up to 3.5 light years per day). The system was limited because the engines built up a technobabble charge that had to be discharged in a sufficiently steep gravity before the ship traveled a maximum of 7.7 light years. This meant that you couldn't directly get anywhere more than 7.7 light years away without having to stop somewhere around a sufficiently massive object. In addition, stutterwarp efficiently dropped off rapidly in a gravity well - if you got too close to a planet or star, you wouldn't be able to maintain orbital velocity. The game used a more-or-less accurate local star map around Earth, and the distance limitation meant travel was restricted to set routes, which sometimes formed choke points that were worth fighting over, and colonies at the end of their routes who were literally the ass-end of nowhere because explorers had nowhere else to go.

The later seasons of Eureka reveal that Fargo and Zane have been working on an FTL drive after the arrival of the relativistic ship sent out by Henry decades ago. The principle is unknown, but it appears to require a "catcher's mitt" at the destination to avoid slamming at the target at lightspeed (same as Henry's ship). Later, the technology is enhanced to the point where the object being sent doesn't actually need to have a drive (Deputy Andy is accidentally sent to Titan). Despite this, GD builds a ship, the Astraeus, with the FTL drive to explore Titan. It's not clear if there is ever a plan to send a ship to another star, as the show ends before any large-scale construction takes place.

Implied in the The Magic School Bus episode "Gets Lost In Space", where the bus flew from Earth to the Sun to Pluto and back inside a school day. Even under ideal conditions (i.e. if all ninenote The episode aired before Pluto was decided to not be a planet. planets were aligned, and they did the trip without stopping), this would require FTL capability. Made explicit in the star life cycle episode, where the bus crosses a distance of a billion billion miles (over 17 million light years, which would put it well outside the Milky Way) in minutes. Then again, the bus is described as being magic for a reason.

In The Orville, Union vessels like the Orville are powered by quantum drive engines. For Troping purposes these seem to function as a "warp drive", i.e. travel is not instantaneous, the ship can stop or change direction at will, and the ship can still interact with the rest of the universe (sensors, communications, and so on) while in transit. This is appropriate, as the series is an homage to Star Trek, and so FTL travel here works much as it does in the Trek 'verse. The actual technology behind the drive is not explored in depth (beyond use of the word "quantum", anyway).

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann.
Used by default by the eponymous mecha. It's ten million light years tall but moves and fights normally on a human timescale, so every part of it moves much, much faster than light every time it so much as budges. The method used is pure Hot-Blooded badass.
The Super Galaxy Dai-Gurren also has something akin to a hyperspace drive. Its guidance and power requirements are taken care of by the main character's flaming awesomeness (read: Hot-Blooded badass).

Spacetrawler offers one of the most ridiculous technobabble explanations for FTL travel ever. Spaceships travel at Greased Light Speed, "which is attained when you slip between light particles and go much faster than them". Friction between light particles cancels out time dilation. Also, the Mirrhgoots are on the verge of perfecting Greased Dark Light Speed, which promises to be even faster. It works on the principle of riding the darkness inside the light particles (since light particles are about 97% darkness).

Star Trek: Discovery introduces a unique method of instantaneous travel called the "displacement-activated spore hub drive", frequently just shortened to "spore drive". The drive navigates the so-called "mycelial network" that permeates not only our universe, but the entire multiverse (thus, it can be used to cross into other universes as well). Using the drive requires first growing special kind of fungal spores. In addition, it's discovered that a living navigator is necessary to correctly plot the course. Otherwise, only short jumps are reliable. They initially used a spaceborne tardigrade-like creature, but then the drive's creator Lieutenant Stamets used gene therapy to give himself some of the creature's DNA (which is illegal under Federation law, thanks to the Eugenics Wars), allowing him to be used as the navigator. Currently, only a single ship in Starfleet is equipped with the drive, as the Discovery's sister ship Glenn was destroyed. At the end of Season 2, information on the spore drive, the Discovery and its crew are made classified at Spock's suggestion to prevent anyone from trying to bring back the dangerous AI Control. The technology is deemed lost until the Discovery ends up in the 32nd Century.

In the Alien films, the ships must have some sort of FTL propulsion since Ripley expected to attend her daughter's 11th birthday on Earth and it doesn't make much sense to deploy Colonial Marines to assist a colony if it going to take them years or decades to arrive. The funny thing is that there are also stasis modules for space travel, which would be unnecessary if the ships achieved a high enough relativistic speed (due to Time Dilation).
According to the Colonial Marines Manual, the Conestoga-class uses a Romberg-Rockwell Cygnus 5 tachyon shunt hyperdrive, which causes the ship to shift part of itself into tachyon particles and accelerate faster than light. The thing about this drive however is that using it causes the people and other lifeforms inside to age rapidly. Hence the need for stasis pods to avoid the rapid ageing.

Gundam 00 first introduced FTL with the 00 Raiser which can teleport around extremely short distances but the function was not intentional and the teleportation was a total accident. The 00 Raiser's successor, the 00 Qan[T], was then designed to use this for full-scale faster than light travel and is fully capable of interstellar travel. The same system was installed in the ship Sumeragi and mass produced Sakibure MS. The alien ELS also have their own type of FTL

The hex-map wargame Starfire, which David "Honor Harrington" Weber has used as the setting for four novels, features "warp points" — naturally-occurring portals through space that allow FTL transit from one star system to another. Strategic maps of known space look more like a text-adventure-game map than a star map, because it's warp links, not physical distance, that determines how "far" two systems are "apart." If more than one spacecraft tries to transit through a given warp point at the same time, there's a chance that they will "interpenetrate" and blow each other apart.
There are also "Closed" warp points that are only detectable from one end, which the Bugs exploit to sneak attack Alpha Centauri

Freefall has FTL travel, although the author admits to being uncomfortable about including it in an otherwise fairly hard series. According to the manual, "The starships in Freefall make pockets of lower space time density, increasing the rate at which they go through time." Thus, they move very fast in real time but at a normal rate in subjective time, necessitating cold sleep for the passengers and most of the crew. When live cargo and/or timeliness are not at stake, they simply accelerate a cargo vessel to a decent fraction of light speed and fling it at the target system. The fact that it's called the DAVE (Dangerous And Very Expensive) Drive should tell you all you need to know.

Cowboy Bebop had the portal variety called Gates, which were apparently dangerous because something called the "Gate Incident" made the moon explode. They created subspace of some fashion where things went faster and ships could get stuck in if they didn't leave in time. Like a lot of things in Bebop, it was never fully explained.

Varies in Power Rangers depending on the season. They use Jump travel when not using a ship (Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, Power Rangers Zeo, Power Rangers Turbo), and Warp travel with a ship (Power Rangers in Space, Power Rangers Lost Galaxy).

In Space Runaway Ideon, the Solo Ship and Buff Clan ships had the DS (Dimension Space) Drive as a way of performing faster-than-light travel. However, it functioned more in the likeness of wormhole travel (in which one uses or creates a tunnel through space-time that creates a normally physically impossible "portal" between two points in space) than hyperspace.

The original Super Dimension Fortress Macross (and its Robotech adaptation) uses the title spaceship's jump drive as a major plot point, and actually demonstrated that if you had an FTL drive and could safely use it within a star system, you probably would, because even interplanetary distances can be inconveniently large. The SDF-1 travels from Earth to Pluto's orbit in minutes, but needs two years to get back to Earth using a gravity-assist technique through normal space. The latter is quite plausible, as the outer Solar System is big.note For comparison, the real life probe New Horizons was launched off of Earth at extremely high speeds and used a gravity slingshot around Jupiter, and it still took nine and a half years to reach Pluto.

The Yamato in Space Battleship Yamato is outfitted with a Wave Motion Engine (also powers their Super-Cool Giant Laser Beam) but abusing it could screw them over (meaning they can only use it for limited amounts of time in short intervals). Warping is a mind-blowing experience for the uninitiated, and may lead to either hallucinations or oddly specific existence failures (Yuki's clothing briefly disappears during the first warp; this never happens to any of the male characters; and of course it doesn't happen at all in the American version).

In the Ready Jet Go! special "Back to Bortron 7", the Propulsions convert their house back into a starship for a visit to their home planet. Whereas their usual saucer has used Interplanetary Hyperdrive to bring the kids on tours within the solar system, this much longer journey requires Interstellar Superdrive. Details on how it works aren't given, but their journey is accompanied by a flashier, more colorful variant on the light-speed F/X from Star Wars.

Homestuck has beings of sufficient psionic power being able to push vessels into FTL travel with their mental abilities (though it ends badly for psionics due to the massive amount of energy it requires). The Condesce exploited this method of bypassing the laws of physics to turn her fleet of starships into a galaxy-conquering army. This is one of the more realistic portrayals of FTL travel, as even at sublight speeds jumps still take quite a bit of time (the biggest jump seen in the comic takes over three years, though time dilation was reversed in that case). Jade even gives a Lampshade Hanging on this in Act 6, noting that FTL travel is a completely different concept from teleportation.

Space: 1999 was entirely due to Sci-Fi Writers Have No Sense of Scale: The MOON gets blasted out of not only Earth orbit, but the Solar System due to a frickin' EXPLOSION (somehow without being blasted apart by it), and is left Traveling at the Speed of Plot, such that it hangs around in the vicinity of an interesting planet just long enough for the crew to fix whatever is wrong with it and fail to settle there, and STILL get to the next star system by next week's episode.

A couple of other examples are shown: The Asgardians' Bifrost which seems to be some form of wormhole travel. Not much is said about it other than that it involves dark energy. Mar Vel developed a true FTL drive by researching the Tesseract. Carol Danvers, a.k.a Capt. Marvel, seems to have a similar ability after being infused with the stone's power and breaking free of the Kree blocks on her powers.

In Space☆Dandy, it is explained that the warp drive on Dandy's ship doesn't actually move the ship at all. Rather, it transfers the consciousness of whoever is inside the ship into their same body in an alternate universe, with the only difference in the entire universe being that the ship and the people inside happen to already be where they wanted to go.

Schlock Mercenary has both a set of "Wormgates" monopolized by an ancient mega-corporation and conspiracy, and the relatively new - or rather, rediscovered - "teraport" (jump drive/teleporter), which forces a subject through trillions of tiny wormholes instead of one big one. The latter is a receiverless teleporter in a military SF setting, with all that implies.
Among other things, it implies a desperate research project to find a way to jam the teraport drive, preventing ships from entering or leaving a region via teraport. Fortunately for the survival of galactic civilization, though often unfortunately for the survival of the eponymous mercenaries, the project succeeded.
As far as communications goes, there's communications through hypernet relays - a Galaxy-Wide-Web. The signal explicitly takes less time to travel across the light-years than through the copper circuitry of the machinery, but there are still no FTL sensors. This is used for dramatic effect at least twice: once to facilitate learning about what happened in a Late to the Tragedy situation (fifty-two minutes late, specifically, so they park a sensor fifty-two light-minutes away to get a look), once in a situation where Kevyn realizes that the enemy, whom he is parleying with (and who is about a light-minute away), had fired missiles at him while they were negotiating.
The comic implies at a few points that causality holds throughout the galaxy because of all the teraporting and wormgates. Notably, when they start going to Andromeda, they're initially out of sync.

In Defiance, the Votan Sleeper Starship arks lacked faster than light travel, but the Omec Harvester possesses a faster-than-light drive, allowing them to hunt down the Votan ark to Earth after their own sleeper ark was sabotaged and the race left to die in the dying solar system because the Omec weren't very nice. In the series finale, Nolan hijacked the Omec ship and throws it on a Blind Jump to avert the genocide of the still sleeping Omec. The drive shoots out blue plasma toruses as it accelerates at sublight until a faster-than-light drive is spooled up, which uses converging beams to shove increasingly longer wormholes at the ship.

In Red Dwarf, the ship explicitly breaks the light barrier at least once, and implicitly does so many times (as they are seen traveling between star systems in very short periods of time), but no attempt is ever made to explain how this is done.
The novel goes into a bit more detail: namely, it comes about from the fact that the ship has been slowly accelerating for the past three million years.
Also in the second series finale Holly invented what he thought was a jump drive, but actually took them to an Alternate Universe.

The ∀ Gundam as well as its protypes like the Testbed Turn A are capable of instantaneous teleportation, generally over short distances around Earth to Moon. The FTL system could also be used to replace weapons and bringing in ammunition according to background material. The prequel Wind of the Moon manga reveals that the main city of the Moonrace is built on a gigantic ancient interstellar ship and they are trying to salvage usuable tech. Luckily for the Earthlings 99% of the ship has decayed but the 1% left has advnaced tech such as artificial gravity but most importently a transfer gate which is activated connecting to somewhere outside of the solar system which freaks out the Moonrace but worse an Eldritch Abomination which appears to be a gooey mass peaks out from the portal but the gate is finally closed and the entity remains a mystery

Stargate:
Stargate SG-1:
The gates themselves act as portals, generating wormholes between planets. Ships too large to fit through a gate usually travel through hyperspace. However Earth-made hyperdrives are the textbook examples of Tim Taylor Technology,note and Explosive Overclocking... due to their use of highly unstable Naquadria.
Season 9 introduced supergates (really big stargate, needs a planet-mass black hole to power it) that were used to send ships from one galaxy to another quickly.
Stargate Atlantis had introduced the wormhole drive in the series finale. Apparently the Ancients have mounted an experimental drive system onto Atlantis that can generate a wormhole and cross interstellar distances in seconds. The downsides are that it uses insane amounts of energy and doing even a slight miscalculation will completely vaporize the ship. The follow-up novel Homecoming reveals that using the drive (not to mention the battle with the super-hive after) has resulted in heavy damage to the city's systems.
The starship Destiny from Stargate Universe seems to use a different method of travel that is slower/faster than normal hyperspace travel as the plot demands. The characters don't know much about it, so they just call it FTL.

Marvel Universe's, Quasar wears the Quantum Bands which were created by Eon for the Protector of the Universe. Eon would routinely bestow the bands on each new agent she chose to act as Protector. Among other things, they enable him to quantum jump or create small apertures between the fabric of space/time in the actual world of matter and energy and the potential world of matter and energy that is the quantum zone. He can then travel through this trackless featureless zone and emerge at a different point in our physical space. His quantum-bands enable him to keep his bearings while in the zone and thus emerge where he wants to. He can cross countless light years in a single jump, if he so desires. Important note, however, he cannot quantum-jump in an atmosphere without ripping a huge hole in its ozone layer. Thus using it for teleportation on Earth is out of the question.

FTL travel in the series itself seems to be a combination of Jump and Hyperdrive types. Space folding is done by going into "superdimension space." Later series introduce "Fold Faults", which are obstacles in superdimensional space (implied to be warped space-time of some sort), and establishes that space folds have limited range: long distance (on the order of thousands of light years) folds eat up a lot of power, such that ships need to spend weeks recovering the resources to make such a jump again.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe's FTL system is unexplained in Guardians of the Galaxy (2014), but Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 reveals that FTL travel uses a Portal Network with limited distance; destination is based on the number of jump points travelled. Some jump points are within planetary atmospheres, which can result in damaged ships crashing right into the planet, while others are in space. As for the number of jumps, the fewer the better; any sequence exceeding 50 jumps is known to be harmful to the occupants, to say nothing of the sequence of 700 jumps Rocket accidentally initiated. The relative speed of this travel method is never mentioned, with the only hint being featured in Thor: Ragnarok where Valkyrie mentioned that traveling this way from Xandar to Asgard would take around 18 months.
A couple of other examples are shown: The Asgardians' Bifrost which seems to be some form of wormhole travel. Not much is said about it other than that it involves dark energy. Mar Vel developed a true FTL drive by researching the Tesseract. Carol Danvers, a.k.a Capt.

Grrl Power has a portal network that ships can use, and there's atherium causeways; notably, due to destination-based technology restrictions, a ship could be barred from using at least one method at any particular time.note Essentially, if you're carrying cargo (or even personal items) of a higher level that your destination's society is expected to reasonably handle, you can't go there. "Don't give a caveman a gun." It turns out that Sydney's orbs can get her barred from the portal network at all times; even thought one of them can produce a standard atherium causeway, the fact that it can fit in a pocket is a problem — the only two known/understood ways involve either capital ships, or large-scale sacrifices of 1000+ psykers. In the 'caveman' analogy... it makes EVERYBODY look like a caveman.

Farscape has all three; "Hetch Drive" is dirt cheap and available to everyone, "Starburst" is available to Leviathans such as Moya, but wormholes - which act as a metadimensional Portal Network - can only be utilized with the assistance of Sufficiently Advanced Aliens, which they don't give lightly for really good reasons.

The whole plot of the anime short subject Voices of a Distant Star stems from the fact that the first United Nations space armada (where the protagonist serves) has faster-than-light drives but no means of faster-than-light communication. The dub very slightly implies that it's some kind of time dilation instead, because they failed to translate the newspapers, prominently displayed on the table, where headlines, basically, explain it all. (And, indeed, one newspaper's side-column contains the particularly mean-spirited revelation that FTL communication was actually invented shortly after the armada jumped out of range.)

The nature and possession of the Ring Drive is one of the main plot concerns of the sci-fi comic Drive (Dave Kellett). Humans didn't invent it, they copied it from a crashed alien ship. As a result, it's something of a Black Box to anyone other than the race that created it, but it seems to be a mix of Warp and Jump drives, making many tiny jumps along a path in such a way that you still need to worry about navigational hazards or pursuit. One of the Makers who do know how it works called it a "Singularity Drive".

The Flash and any speedster is able to run faster than light at any time he wishes.
Special mention goes to his Rogues Gallery, who at some times at least can be even faster than him, most notable being Reverse-Flash. Even more extreme examples might be Godspeed and Black Racer.

In Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, the planet Bajor is nearby the only known stable wormhole in the galaxy. It gives a portal between the Alpha Quadrant (where all the major players in the Trek universe live) and the Gamma Quadrant some 70+ thousand light-years away. Starships sometimes transit through this wormhole, though at relatively low velocities as can be seen from the apparent speed of ships entering and exiting the wormhole relative to nearby objects. There are various unstable wormholes, which shift endpoint from time to time, or may trap objects inside them. An early TNG episode featured a wormhole that was stable at one end but moved periodically at the other.

In Steven Universe, all Era 2 Gem spaceships seem to have this capability, by way of Warp drives. This allows them to cover in minutes distances that Era 1 ships would take decades to travel. It should be noted that Gems can't die of old age or natural causes, so technically they don't need it, but it certainly makes things much faster and practical. Pearl, for one, sees 70 years of space travel (not accounting for the trip back) as perfectly reasonable, forgetting the trip is to rescue Steven's dad, a human.

The role-playing game Traveller equipped its starships with the Jump Drive. In terms of this trope, Jump Drive was really a warp drive, moving ships through "jump-space" or "hyper-space." The catch? No jump could cover a distance of less than one parsec, so Jump Drives were useless for in-system travel. Also, the time spent in jump-space was independent of the distance travelled. Each jump lasted about one week (subjective and objective times were the same), no matter how far one jumped.
Some of this was changed in later editions: You could travel less than a parsec; the jump still takes about 168 hours. However, you retain your speed-vector when you arrive, so you actually continuously accelerate to the point where you jump, and decelerate upon arrival, which burns a lot of fuel. And even more fuel if your calculation isn't perfect and you need to adjust the course. And still more fuel is used by the jump itself. And you need to be about 100 diameters away from a body because of gravitation (which would make for a safe jump 1,274,000 km away from Earth, somewhat more than 3 times the distance to the Moon). And due to the fact that in the Traveller-universe normally only one planet per system is interesting, this isn't really useful in most cases.

Star Trek uses 'warp drive', which actually shunts part of a vessel's mass into subspace, then causes 'ripples' in subspace, which the vessel then 'surfs' on. The vessel itself remains stationary, and the space around the ship is shifted. See this link for more information. In Star Trek: The Motion Picture, Kirk claims that going to warp within a solar system is a risky proposition only ever attempted in emergencies. Wormholes also exist, but are extremely unstable and unpredictable.
While this explanation is backed up by supporting materials, no explanation this technical is ever given on-screen, though a ship propelled by a drive system which is described in very similar terms (in "New Ground") is emphatically not a warp drive.
It has also been explained in later series that older designs of warp drives are capable of damaging subspace at higher speeds. The Intrepid Class was one of the first ship classes designed to avoid causing this problem, along with subsequent ships, although it is implied that older ships were eventually refit to mitigate this.
One fun fact: in the pilot episode it was referred to as 'Time Warp' and 'breaking the time barrier', suggesting that the drive had some sort of time distorting effect rather than anything to do with subspace. This was dropped by the time they made the second pilot episode.
Interestingly, a conversation between the ship's navigator and one of the (illusory) survivors of a crashed ship in the first pilot suggests that the Enterprise is one of a few new ships that "broke the time barrier" but that older Drives involve time dilation. Obviously later Star Trek contradicted this by introducing Zephram Cochrane, the inventor of Warp Drive, a 21st century human.
The Federation itself was born thanks to warp drive. When Zefram Cochrane invented and tested humanity's first warp-capable ship, a ship of Vulcans detected it and decided to make First Contact.
The reason Omega Particles are deemed so dangerous that the Federation is willing to ignore the Prime Directive to prevent them from appearing is that an unstable exploding Omega Particle (Omega Particles almost never remain stable for longer than a nanosecond) will permanently damage subspace (which makes warp travel impossible) in a region the size of a Borg Fleet. If this happened enough times, warp travel would become impossible and galactic civilization would be ruined. What makes things worse is that people still try to create them anyway because even a single stable Omega Particle could provide unlimited power.
It's demonstrated in Star Trek Into Darkness that two ships flying alongside each other at warp speed can see and fire upon each other as though they were moving at sub-light speeds—debris and unfortunate crewmembers get left behind compared to the ships but are still traveling at FTL speeds—and a ship can be violently knocked out of warp if it strays too far off course, forcing it to instantly decelerate once it re-enters regular space even if its warp drive is still engaged.

In Tank Vixens the "Credibilty Drive" relies on the crew being gullible enough to warp the universe. It's really just a dressed-up VCR that plays a video of hyperspace lines on the monitors followed by their destination. However, when a tape of Gone with the Wind is played by accident they end up Trapped in TV Land.

Starfire in Teen Titans (2003) is apparently capable of achieving faster-than-light speeds by herself, if her planet-hopping in "Transformation" is anything to go by. Of course, in the first episode aired (third in production order), she and Robin are just finishing a conversation on this subject as they enter the living room.
Then again, this is the DC Universe, so that little tidbit isn't exactly very secret.

In Moscow — Cassiopeia, they manage to achieve this when the local troublemaker accidentally sits on the controls, traveling a 200+ year journey in less than a minute. The people on Earth have 27 years passing normally, except for being unable to contact the ship the entire time. It is suggested they entered some form of subspace, hyperspace, or “tachyon spiral�. However in real life physics, that's exactly what you get when you travel at a very relativistic but still subluminal speed.

Generally not present in Gundam due to the franchise's more "realistic" take on science fiction, but the idea has popped up a few times:
The ∀ Gundam as well as its protypes like the Testbed Turn A are capable of instantaneous teleportation, generally over short distances around Earth to Moon. The FTL system could also be used to replace weapons and bringing in ammunition according to background material. The prequel Wind of the Moon manga reveals that the main city of the Moonrace is built on a gigantic ancient interstellar ship and they are trying to salvage usuable tech. Luckily for the Earthlings 99% of the ship has decayed but the 1% left has advnaced tech such as artificial gravity but most importently a transfer gate which is activated connecting to somewhere outside of the solar system which freaks out the Moonrace but worse an Eldritch Abomination which appears to be a gooey mass peaks out from the portal but the gate is finally closed and the entity remains a mystery
Gundam 00 first introduced FTL with the 00 Raiser which can teleport around extremely short distances but the function was not intentional and the teleportation was a total accident. The 00 Raiser's successor, the 00 Qan[T], was then designed to use this for full-scale faster than light travel and is fully capable of interstellar travel. The same system was installed in the ship Sumeragi and mass produced Sakibure MS. The alien ELS also have their own type of FTL
The Universal Century entirely rely on STL ships however as shown in Gundam NT newtype powers allow the law of physics to be bent to allow the Phenex to travel at or higher than the speed of light among other weird powers
There is a little known manga called Enhanced Human Tale: MAD WANG 1160 which is supposedly in the far future of the Universal Century in UC 1160 although its more of an Alternate Timeline. Mobile Suits have been replaced by mecha called Armed Material and nanomachines are everywhere. FTL is achieved by warp drives which can even be fitted to Armed Material and Humans have built a galactic civilization. However the old cycle repeats and its Earth vs Colonies again but this time on an interstellar scale. It is notable for introduction of concepts such as Nanomachines and FTL.

The Disney Mouse and Duck Comics have a few versions, though they rarely go in detail:
Super Goof, being a parody of Superman with powers to match, is occasionally shown flying through interstellar distances with ease. He just rarely bothers because he normally has no reason.
The Time Machine series once introduced a teleportation technology, essentially a version of the time machine that moves objects in space with a temporal variance of a fraction of a second in the future. A few alien races have it, and professor Marlin, inventor of the time machine, developed his own version... Only to mothball it because if the experiment failed in a way he couldn't understand then the world is even less capable of handling it.
Gyro has occasionally made FTL ships with such ease Donald would later take Casual Interstellar Travel for granted. A few, developed for Scrooge, used Dollarite and its improved version Super Dollarite, a fuel made from dollars on Scrooge's reasoning that "If money moves the world then a fuel made out of cash can move a rocket better than conventional fuel" (it actually worked, much to Donald and the Triplets' shock).
Both Rebo and the Jovians have extremely advanced FTL technology, with the Jovians casually moving through the solar system and Rebo's ships being able to attack Jupiter from Saturn with ease. The ultimate example came when Rebo was hit by the Virtual Duck, Jupiter's ultimate jamming and perception-altering weapon, and not only he accidentally moved his flagship from near Jupiter to close to the Sun in seconds, the Virtual Duck even made him mistake the Sun for Earth and he didn't suspect anything was wrong until his ship started melting.
Paperinik New Adventures examples:
Most ships use some form of Alcubierre Drive, usually referred to as "warp", even to move inside solar systems, as space is indeed enormous (and Donald, used to Casual Interstellar Travel thanks to Gyro, was surprised when One pointed this out). Notably this doesn't mean they have FTL sensors or communications, and in fact most races have neither (only the Evronians and the En'to'mek have developed either with anything but very short range).
For larger distances there's a Portal Network, important enough all spacefaring races (including apparently dangerous races as the Evronians and the En'to'mek) respect them as neutral. Misuse or incompetence can result in extreme danger, to the point that when one of the few factions that don't respect their neutrality seized a portal node they accidentally connected the system to the Sol System and endangered both systems, resulting in the collective spacefaring races hiring Colonel Neopard to free it without any one of them taking control and breaking its neutrality for even a second.
The Evronians, being space nomads and extremely warlike, normally stay away from the network... And have developed the habit of building ships the size of a small moon to cross greater distances, even having turned the moon of their original homeworld in a spaceship, and doing the same to Earth in a Bad Future. They do it periodically, as whenever their numbers grow beyond their ability to prevent a civil war they create a new emperor, put him and half their population on the new planet, and send them away to make a new Evronian Empire somewhere else.
Xadhoom can cross interstellar distances through unknown means, explicitely much faster than with warp drives. It works only for her because she accidentally gave herself godlike powers and, being the best astrophysicist of a planet that highly prizes science, was intelligent and knowledgeable enough to figure out how.

In an Al Brodax Popeye cartoon, Popeye is recruited to spend sixty days in a space capsule by himself in an effort to gauge how long he can sustain himself without going crazy. The capsule gets doused within with aerosol spinach, causing it to blast off into space so fast (sixty times as normal, says one of the scientists) it causes earth time to go backwards.

Westward: The eponymous Cool Starship travels through Escherspace (named after Maurits Cornelius Escher), which functions as a variety of Jump Drive. It is a Black Box technology that no-one quite understands, except for the mysterious alien Phobos. As a result, some characters prefer to think of it as a kind of magic.
While an Escherspace jump itself is nearly instantaneous, many weeks of travel using conventional engines are still required as part of every trip, to ensure that the ship is at a safe distance from any massive astronomical body — if used carelessly, Escherspace jumps can release enough energy to alter the orbits of nearby planets.
During a jump, everyone aboard must take shelter in special "normalization booths"; the author has stated that this "creates a good separation between travel that's normal — adhering to the laws of physics — and travel that's abnormal, unnatural, and dangerous."

Similarly, in the The Fifth Element we see a commercial starship that "jumps to lightspeed" in order to travel to another solar system, and like the Alien films, they put the passengers to sleep during the voyage. Also the mass of evil manages to travel from another solar system to Earth in just 2 hours. Mind that the heroes also manage to arrive to Earth from lightyears away just a little earlier... The sleeping-while-in-hyperspace thing is Hand Waved as being "for your comfort," so perhaps in the Fifth Element 'verse Hyperspace Is a Scary Place for the conscious mind? Though the crew, Ruby Rhod, and Cornelius seem unaffected. Or the company operating the spaceship was too cheap to include consumables for passengers for a flight of a few hours.

The BattleTech universe features JumpShips capable of somehow creating and magnifying a 'rip' in the fabric of space-time and thereby jumping distances up to thirty light years in an instant...but which are otherwise generally (there are exceptions) only equipped with station-keeping drives that allow them to hold their position at the jump point while recharging, a process that generally takes a week or more. (Occasionally an enterprising military leader will arrange for faster travel by setting up a 'command circuit' with passengers and cargo transferring to a new and fully charged JumpShip immediately upon arrival, possibly several times in succession.) The Kearny-Fuchida Drive is highly sensitive to local gravity gradients and thus not generally usable within several astronomical units of something as massive as a star, though suitably daring crews can take advantage of "pirate points" (or LaGrange Points in other parlance) in the system, where the presence of other celestial bodies results in their respective gravitational influences cancelling out just right, to jump in closer than that. (Incidentally, the vast void of interstellar space is in theory perfectly safe to jump around in. One reason this isn't usually done, aside from the obvious one of no crew wanting to casually risk even a hypothetical drive failure stranding them light-years away from any human help all by themselves, is that most ships' primary method of recharging their K-F drive depends on solar sails...)

Outsider: Ships travel faster-than-light using a hyperspace jump drive note so-named in-universe; in this trope's terms, it's actually a hyperdrive which nearly instantaneously propels them to their destination via positive (+)hyperspace. A successful jump requires precise alignment and calculations, as vessels cannot direct themselves in hyperspace and are completely reliant on the speed and direction imparted by their launches, and any misstep usually leads to the loss of the ship. Jumping is only possible between neighbouring star systems — attempting to "jump over" a star is essentially impossible due to its gravity affecting the ship — and conventional intra-system space travel is required to move between the best launching-off points. Travelling a distance of approx. 200 light years in this way takes weeks or months. The author provides an in-depth explanation of how FTL works in this universe on a special page.

The DCU uses this every so often.
Green Lantern: Kyle Rayner has traversed the entire universe in a span of a few months, as well as traveling back and forth between Oa and Earth multiple times. Other Lanterns -especially Hal Jordan- have done the same, but not nearly as much as Kyle has.
The Zeta Beam is primarily Adam Strange's method of FTL travel.
In the New Gods there's the Boom Tube Gauntlet, that allows instantaneous travel to planets as far away as Apokolips and New Genesis.
The Flash and any speedster is able to run faster than light at any time he wishes.
Special mention goes to his Rogues Gallery, who at some times at least can be even faster than him, most notable being Reverse-Flash. Even more extreme examples might be Godspeed and Black Racer.
Superman and his Kryptonian family routinely could fly faster than the speed of light between the late Golden Age through the end of the Bronze Age, usually to travel across space. Said ability was also used (similar to the Flash's means) to allow them to travel through time. Post-Crisis, Superman was usually limited to sublight speeds, though writers began to ignore this early on and write stories where he flies across vast distances of space without anyone on Earth noticing an absurdly-long absence.
An 80s Superboy story shows him making use of a wormhole early in his career to fly across space.
In another 80's story, "Blackstar", Supergirl takes one day to make her way to Earth from the center of the universe.
Similarly, Kal-El's ship that brought him to Earth was equipped with a warp drive engine.
Wonder Woman:
Wonder Woman (1942): While Diana generally uses the teleportation device Paula invented the Saturnians explicity have ships capable of faster than light travel, as Diana and Steve Trevor steal one to get back home after being abducted.

In Starfinder, set thousands of years into Pathfinder’s future, the newly ascended machine goddess Triune provided the specs to a purely technological FTL called “Drift Drive� that goes through a new plane of existence called The Drift and can take a ship anywhere in the galaxy in less than a month. Locations with Drift beacons built by the church of Triune can be reached in a couple weeks and Absalom Station, with the Starstone at its core, can always be traveled to in a week or less. However each jump pulls a small piece of another plane into the Drift and there’s a chance the ship will run into angry Outsiders, especially when jumping into deep space.

Many of the staff writers on Futurama have physics qualifications, so they felt uncomfortable allowing spaceships to travel faster than light. Instead, with one exception which was used for a physics joke, they had scientists increase the speed of light. In the same episode where lightspeed was mentioned to be greater, the ships are said to move the universe around themselves.
One of the Comedy Central episodes had the Professor outfit the Planet Express ship with a short-range "dimensional drift" jump drive that took it through the fourth dimension.

Fading Suns: Travel between solar systems is accomplished through a network of Jumpgates left behind by the Ur. No other method is possible, since any ships traveling through interstellar space is inevitably eaten by Daemons and Void Krakens. Which of course raises the question of how the Gates got there in the first place.

One of the central tenets of the Orion's Arm setting is the absence of FTL — except for wormholes. These are big, expensive, must be deployed to the desired destination at speeds much slower than light before they can be used, and need to be traversed carefully lest the traveller be crushed by g-forces. They must also be located in "asymptotically flat spacetime", that is, a minimum of something like 100AU from the nearest star. That's a hell of a long way (as a sense of scale, Pluto varies between ~29 AU and ~48 AU from our sun). Although theoretically a single wormhole could bridge tens of lightyears, you're still going to take several weeks at least to get from the wormhole to anywhere interesting (and vice versa) using even the best sublight engine technology generally available to humans. A lot of the time it's just easier to go the long way (and since most life-forms and/or AI are effectively immortal anyway, time isn't as pressing an issue as it seems).
The main reason a hard sci-fi setting includes wormholes is that they're an Acceptable Break from Reality — you can't really have the interstellar civilizations the setting is built around without some form of faster-than-light infrastructure, so the writers went with the most realistic alternative they could find. Because modern science has yet to demonstrate that wormholes are impossible, OA considers them fair game.
Causality is protected in the OA universe - if you try to build a wormhole system that can form a closed timelike curve (i.e. allow time travel) the wormholes undergo something called Visser collapse. Given that this destroys both mouths of the wormhole and, from a distance, could be mistaken for a small supernova, you do not want to be within a couple of lightyears of a wormhole if this happens.
Most of the wormholes used in Orion's Arm are actually comm-gauge wormholes - microscopic wormholes used to send data but not big enough to send anything material through. These are significantly easier to manufacture and more stable than wormholes ships can pass through, which require enormous resources to build and maintain. They can also be located much closer to gravity wells than traversable wormholes. You still don't want to be standing close by if one collapses though...

NatOne Productions's story-line Denazra both invokes and averts this trope. A gate network of artificial wormholes allows FTL travel between settled worlds, but there is no other known way to travel faster than the speed of light. When the Coalition wants to recruit a new species to join the fight against the denazra, they have to send space ships on lengthy journeys across the interstellar gulf.

It's demonstrated in Star Trek Into Darkness that two ships flying alongside each other at warp speed can see and fire upon each other as though they were moving at sub-light speeds—debris and unfortunate crewmembers get left behind compared to the ships but are still traveling at FTL speeds—and a ship can be violently knocked out of warp if it strays too far off course, forcing it to instantly decelerate once it re-enters regular space even if its warp drive is still engaged.

Warhammer 40,000:
The most common form of FTL is achieved by traveling through the Warp, a nightmarish dimension where the thoughts and emotions of sentient creatures give rise to dark gods and hordes of gibbering monstrosities. As such, ships require force fields to (hopefully) keep the crew from being eaten by daemons during Warp-jumps, and it takes members of a caste of psychic mutants called Navigators to pilot ships through the Immaterium. Since the Warp doesn't obey the laws of physics, vessels traveling through it move much faster than they would in realspace, but the exact ratio is fluid - sometimes a day in the Warp is equal to just under two weeks' travel in the material universe, while in other cases starships are lost for thousands of years, or emerge before they've left. Some charts even indicate that it's faster to travel across the galaxy than it is to hop to an adjacent sector. Further complicating matters are "currents" or "storms" in the Warp that can displace or destroy vessels, and unfortunately the only navigational aid is a psychic beacon on Holy Terra powered by the souls of thousands of psykers, which has been known to flicker and dim on occasion.
It's no surprise that other races have found alternatives to this form of travel. The Eldar have the Webway, a Portal Network that links points in realspace by tunnels through a dimension somewhere between the Warp and reality; however, this network is ancient and decaying, making some passages unusable or dangerous, while the Eldar's evil counterparts have built an entire civilization within it. The Tau, who lack a real psychic presence and therefore cannot fully enter the Warp, use special drives to briefly "dip" into it to boost themselves forward, which though much slower than proper Warp travel is much safer. The Tyranid hive fleets use a special bio-ship capable of slingshotting the fleet through space by harnessing a planet's gravity well, and the swarm typically goes into hibernation during the trip between systems. The Necrons use inertialess drives and large-scale teleportation technology eons more advanced than other races' FTL. And the Orks... use the Warp anyway, because either the metal teeth they've riveted to their ships' hulls will scare the daemons off, or they'll have a pretty entertaining fight on the way to their next conquest.

The Lost in Space film has the Robinson family ship equipped with a hyperdrive. However, it's impossible to set a destination without using a set of gates that guide a ship at FTL. Their original plan is to travel the slow way to the planned colony and build a receiving gate there for subsequent ships to travel to via FTL. It doesn't work out for them.

The Lightfold Drive in Final Space allowed starships (including smaller spaceships, and even eject pods) to go from one part of the galaxy to another in a matter of minutes. Usually involves spinning the Lightfold Drive at hyperspeed, this works by having the Drive "bend" the light it emits at a speed so fast, it literally bends the gravity and space it occupied, immediately propelling the ship to its destination. This is accompanied by the colorful spinning vortex of light every time the ship "lightfolds", and is noted that the "light" in the Lightfold Drives can vaporizes anything it touches at full charge. Season 2 introduces a second method called Drop Drive, which is even faster.

The Jenkinsverse has two main types of FTL:
Apparent Linear Velocity (ALV) drive: effectively an Alcubierre Drive with the most dangerous drawbacks fixed. Its velocity is measured in kilolights (and in one case, a megalight), but there is a significant buildup of static energy á'la Mass Effect that has to be discharged into gas giants. On cleared lanes this buildup is significantly smaller, effectively creating Hyperspace Lanes.
Corti sealed drives are a significantly more efficient and faster version of the ALV-drive. How this is achieved is a highly guarded secret.
Wormholes need a beacon on both ends to work, but the displacement is instantaneous. The rest of the galaxy mainly uses it to relocate space stations, but humans have enthusiastically integrated it into their space combat doctrine.
Humans, not being satisfied with the available choices, found a third way in the form of jump arrays. These are capable of jumping a volume of space to a similarly sized array anywhere in the galaxy.

Doctor Who:
The TARDIS usually simply "materialises" at one location or another in space and time (sometimes even where it's meant to). It's also been observed to fly in normal space at the speed of plot, although this isn't as cheap on the effects budget. Travel outside our universe is also not unheard of. A fact which has been lampshaded by the Doctor himself on more than one occasion.
The TARDISes are literally aeons ahead of any other ship type anywhere, ever. To put this in perspective, the Doctor's TARDIS was already a museum piece when he first acquired it hundreds of years ago, and it's still "the technology of the gods" compared to almost anyone else. After all, the Time Lords were "the oldest civilisation" who had "turned time travel into a game for children" before humans had discovered the wheel; they also developed effectively unlimited teleportation technology "when the universe was less than half its present size". It's been implied several times in the show (and outright stated by the expanded universe) that the reason the Doctor's TARDIS looks comparatively primitive, with its reliance on mechanical switches and levers and tendency towards steampunk clunkiness, is a combination of the Doctor's preferred "desktop theme" and because it just makes it easier to interact with.
It seems that there are other methods of faster than light travel in the universe. Hyperspace is mentioned occasionally, as is warp drive. The Slitheen used a more exotic slipstream engine.

Superman and his Kryptonian family routinely could fly faster than the speed of light between the late Golden Age through the end of the Bronze Age, usually to travel across space. Said ability was also used (similar to the Flash's means) to allow them to travel through time. Post-Crisis, Superman was usually limited to sublight speeds, though writers began to ignore this early on and write stories where he flies across vast distances of space without anyone on Earth noticing an absurdly-long absence.
An 80s Superboy story shows him making use of a wormhole early in his career to fly across space.
In another 80's story, "Blackstar", Supergirl takes one day to make her way to Earth from the center of the universe.
Similarly, Kal-El's ship that brought him to Earth was equipped with a warp drive engine.

Andromeda uses slipstreams, a kind of portal drive, which requires a human pilot —well, an organic lifeform, anyway (a computer can only navigate slipstreams accurately if it has access to a one-of-a-kind perfect and complete map of all slipstreams, or the willingness to use less savory tactics) and is described as "not the best way to travel faster than light, just the only way". The series is also notable for having a complete lack of reliable FTL radio, meaning all messages have to be delivered by couriers. Background material mentions attempts at using slipstream to send messages, but packet loss was ridiculously high, and the attempts were abandoned.

In The Pentagon War, "hyper holes" provide an FTL portal network. They are created by aiming two very expensive bombs directly at one other from two different star systems, and detonating them simultaneously — a difficult feat even for a whole government to pull off. At the time of the story, only 5 pairs of linked hyper holes exist.

The original 1978 Battlestar Galactica drive systems weren't FTL in the traditional warp style. In fact, they weren't really FTL at all. The writers simply didn't understand the difference between interplanetary and interstellar distances. Once, Adama ordered the Galactica to accelerate to the speed of light, but nowhere did they claim to exceed it... Not that accelerating a ship to the speed of light is any less impossible with physics as we know it.

Battlestar Galactica: The new series uses jump drives, which require complex calculations, and can leave a ship hopelessly lost if a jump is mistimed. The use of jump drives is actually critical to the plot of the whole series - since sensors are limited to light speed, it is impossible to detect a ship as it jumps, allowing any ship to instantly escape from its pursuers, or to appear and attack without warning. It also seems to work from anywhere: ships often jump mere feet from a planet's surface immediately after lifting off, or in one notable case immediately before pancaking on the ground after an orbital burn-in.
The Powers That Be tried to explain BSG's jump drives as non-FTL technology. Something about the ships not actually traveling faster than their normal speeds, but shortening the distance between the two points. However, this pretty much defines most drives in this trope - in that they aren't really moving you beyond light speed, but just make it so that you effectively are, usually using a wormhole/hyperspace/gravitational warping effect.

Inverted in the Spelljammer D&D setting, where game designers made up their own cosmic structure and laws of physics ("Everything you know about space is wrong.") instead of trying to talk their way around our universe's. Even then, superluminal travel happens only out of "normal" space — in-sphere spelljamming speed is "merely" 100 mln miles/day (4,166,666.7 mph), so even "double spelljamming speed" (a very rare case) shouldn't cause visible blue/red shifts.

In South Park, mankind accidentally discovers "warp speed" when Randy loads a piece of exotic matter stolen from the Large Hadron Collider on a toy car, which propels it outside the Earth at FTL speeds. Unfortunately by the end of the episode Earth is isolated from the rest of the universe.

In Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds, played straight in episode 145 after Yusei defeats Antinomy/Bruno they both end up being trapped within the black hole created earlier (which is itself impossible). After an emotional speech by Antinomy/Bruno, he proceeds to adjust his D-wheel and push it into Yusei's to gain enough escape velocity (also impossible once inside the event horizon) and/or open up a hyperdrive window. The title of the episode itself ("Faster than Light!") perhaps lampshaded this trope.

The Inexplicable Adventures of Bob!: The aliens have specifically stated that they do not have FTL. The Nemesites are extremely long-lived and do have ubiquitous relativistic-speed travel. Their empire's capital orbits a brown dwarf star "near" Earth's solar system note Yes, that Nemesis Star — hence, our solar system sees a lot of traffic. There are at least two inhabited worlds in our system besides Earth; Butane, an undetected world in the Kuiper Belt colonized by a prehuman Earth civilization (the dragons), and Fleen, an asteroid inhabited by Officer Zodboink's people (whether or not their race is native to Fleen has not yet been revealed).

Stargate Atlantis had introduced the wormhole drive in the series finale. Apparently the Ancients have mounted an experimental drive system onto Atlantis that can generate a wormhole and cross interstellar distances in seconds. The downsides are that it uses insane amounts of energy and doing even a slight miscalculation will completely vaporize the ship. The follow-up novel Homecoming reveals that using the drive (not to mention the battle with the super-hive after) has resulted in heavy damage to the city's systems.

The Rifts: Phase World expansion setting has FTL drives directly affected by gravity, with the drives' maximum speed increasing the fewer gravitational influences there are on the trip. This has the effect of making travel between three local galaxies just as fast as traveling through the galaxies themselves, since there aren't as many stars slowing you down on the way.

Paperinik New Adventures examples:
Most ships use some form of Alcubierre Drive, usually referred to as "warp", even to move inside solar systems, as space is indeed enormous (and Donald, used to Casual Interstellar Travel thanks to Gyro, was surprised when One pointed this out). Notably this doesn't mean they have FTL sensors or communications, and in fact most races have neither (only the Evronians and the En'to'mek have developed either with anything but very short range).
For larger distances there's a Portal Network, important enough all spacefaring races (including apparently dangerous races as the Evronians and the En'to'mek) respect them as neutral. Misuse or incompetence can result in extreme danger, to the point that when one of the few factions that don't respect their neutrality seized a portal node they accidentally connected the system to the Sol System and endangered both systems, resulting in the collective spacefaring races hiring Colonel Neopard to free it without any one of them taking control and breaking its neutrality for even a second.
The Evronians, being space nomads and extremely warlike, normally stay away from the network... And have developed the habit of building ships the size of a small moon to cross greater distances, even having turned the moon of their original homeworld in a spaceship, and doing the same to Earth in a Bad Future. They do it periodically, as whenever their numbers grow beyond their ability to prevent a civil war they create a new emperor, put him and half their population on the new planet, and send them away to make a new Evronian Empire somewhere else.
Xadhoom can cross interstellar distances through unknown means, explicitely much faster than with warp drives. It works only for her because she accidentally gave herself godlike powers and, being the best astrophysicist of a planet that highly prizes science, was intelligent and knowledgeable enough to figure out how.

Spaceballs spoofs the aforementioned Star Wars with the Ludicrous Speed drive, which instead of the star trail line effect, creates a plaid effect around the ship and is often seen to overshoot its destination. The speed indicator lights showed another speed, "Ridiculous Speed", nestled in between Light Speed and Ludicrous Speed. One is given to wonder what would have become of our heroes in the Winnebago had Dark Helmet opted to chase them at only Ridiculous Speed. The heroes themselves user Hyper Jets to go into "Hyper-Active."

Starslip: Originally, the starslip drive worked as a jump drive that shifted the ship into a nearly-identical Alternate Universe where it was already at the desired location. Eventually it was discovered that one can, with sufficient slips, wind up in a substantially different timeline; this was the Starslip Crisis that gave the comic its original name.
After narrowly escaping the destruction of the universe, the crew of the Fuseli end up in another one where the starslip drive has just been outlawed and replaced by the stellar superlinear propulsion (STARSLIP for short) drive, which exploits the fact that there's no shorter distance between two places than a straight line, by finding an even straighter line. This functions as a Warp Drive, rather than a Jump Drive.

Event Horizon is about a spaceship whose main system of FTL apparently can't decide whether it wants to be a jump drive or a warp drive in terms of Techno Babble, but in practice, it turns out to be a hyperdrive that took its crew into a cosmic horror dimension that killed them all, and then came back... changed by the experience.

Star Trek: Voyager:
As they were stranded on the other side of the galaxy, Voyager sought various means of getting home faster than possible using its (already highly-efficient) warp drive, ranging from transwarp and quantum slipstream technology, to a graviton catapult which can catapult a vessel across space in the time it takes to say "catapult a vessel across space."
In the episode "Course: Oblivion", the duplicate Voyager succeeds in creating an enhanced warp drive that is capable of bringing them to the Alpha Quadrant in two years. Unfortunately, because that Voyager and its crew were made of "silver blood" from the Demon-class planet they had left, warp core radiation is proven to be Toxic Phlebotinum for them, causing them to demolecularize and ruining their chances of ever reaching their destination (or even letting the real Voyager know about their amazing discovery).

Babylon 5:
The show allowed ships to travel faster than light using hyperspace, envisioned here as an alternate dimension in which travel is much more rapid. Most ships use a network of stationary Jump Gates which had been positioned throughout the galaxy, as while it's possible to fit a jump drive to starships the technology has two inherent limitations, extremely high power consumption (to the point only the Minbari, the Yolu, and the Centauri have even bothered to develop miniaturized jump drives), and the use of Quantium-40, an extremely rare material (never found in inhabited star systems, according to the Expanded Universe). Since everywhere almost everyone wants to go has fixed Jump Gates anyway, and anywhere that gets lots of traffic can have on installed readily enough, in practice only larger military vessels, special purpose ships (such as couriers, explorers, and ships that have to install Gates), and a very small number of luxury ships have Jump Drives.
The First Ones, being far more ancient and technologically advanced than the Younger Races, have their own methods to enter hyperspace, almost invariably different from the vortex-generating jump drives used by the Younger Races. In fact only the Vorlon use the vortex... And not only are directly responsible for installing gates that the Younger Races would eventually discover and reverse-engineer, "The Lost Tales" reveals they have a superior method, quantumspace, that is much faster than hyperspace. The Interstellar Alliance has managed to install a quantum space drive on a simple ship, though at least this version is extremely disconcerting to the traveler.
"Thirdspace" involves the discovery of an ancient gate to the formerly-unknown eponymous dimension, which initially looks like a faster version of hyperspace. Pity it happens to be inhabited by Eldritch Abominations bent on finding a way into our universe and destroying it. This one too was originally built by the Vorlon, who were barely able to close it and hide it away.

Space 1889 is technically an aversion, but one article in Challenge magazine ("Science Marches On" in #68, for those curious) did in fact have an Ether Flyer based FTL drive as a high tier item for players to invent. It works simply by accelerating faster than light, and won't work within 10k kilometers of a planet (in addition to any other limitations the GM deigns to impose).
