The characters are stumbling through a desert, for whatever reason. They're unprepared, dehydrated and starving, desperate, depressed, generally in a sorry way. But hark! One of the characters sees an oasis. Glittering blue water, cool palm trees, a small carpet of grass growing around it, and in some cases, beckoning Bedlah Babes. They sprint to it and fill their mouths with handfuls of refreshing water... and then the scene fades, leaving the characters to spit out their mouthfuls of gritty sand. Some examples forgo the oasis altogether, resulting in a phenomenon similar to Meat-O-Vision where characters hallucinate bars, ice cream stands and water fountains that vanish into thin air when the desperate travelers sprint towards them. A Real Life mirage is simply an optical illusion wherein it appears that the sky becomes refracted on a hot, flat surface, creating a blue area that looks like water a distance ahead of you; this can happen in several climates (including temperate ones where one sometimes sees puddles of water on a warm blacktop road), but seeing water in the desert has a greater appeal. Only a water-like blue patch appears in a real mirage, however. The palm trees, grass and refreshments that disappear with the water are largely a result of comedic exaggeration. However, the term "mirage" is also used for when someone has a hallucination, leading to this confusion. |

Jewelpet: Magical Change: Episode 33's "Jewelpet: Currently on the Run" segment has a thirsty Ruby in a desert running into mirages of not just an oasis, but of things like a store and a water park too. Then she sees Labra offering her water, at the price of being turned into one of her minions. When Ruby decides to drink the water despite Labra's mind-control attached to it, she discovers Labra is a mirage... and then Ruby herself realizes she's a mirage as well. | |

Mario Party 3: Happens in Spiny Desert, somehow. There's a 'mirage' form of the Millennium Star, which only vanishes when someone tries to buy a star from it (and beforehand, makes it appear like there's two of the character on the map). It's probably more accurate to call it a hallucination. | |

This includes the M.A.D. agents out to kill him, the sacred golden scimitar he is supposed to be protecting, a tree he bodily crashes into, Chief Quimby, a pit full of cobras... | |

In One Piece, the mirages Nami creates are...interesting to say the least. They properly use the idea of mirages being created by the differences in air density caused by sharp temperature differential, but they have Nami create mirages by standing behind the anomaly, which logically would reflect her image back at herself, not distort it for the enemy to see. It was used correctly the first time, though. Not even going into how she can supposedly control what is seen... A lot of what Nami does in a fight, post Alabasta arc, pretty much can boil down to using her Clima-tact. | |

Tintin: In "Cigars of the Pharaoh", Tintin and Snowy think they see an oasis far off, only to find a skeleton and a sign saying "Mirage Ahead" (an untranslatable French pun on the word virage, which means a road turn). In "The Crab with the Golden Claws", Captain Haddock sees Tintin as a champagne bottle when the two are stranded in the desert. Zigzagged in "Land of Black Gold" when the Thom(p)sons meet stock mirages and non-mirages in quick succession. |
