A work in one medium, that heavily relies on the unique quirks of another, different medium, as if it's trying to remind us all the time that the story is just adapted from another form. It might happen because the original work is so famous that everyone will think about it in that format anyways: The Bible is a book, Romeo and Juliet is a theater play, Citizen Kane is a movie, Looney Tunes is a series of animated cartoons, and Super Mario Bros. is a video game. If you are making an adaptation of these, your audience won't be fooled into believing that they are watching an equal version to the original, so you might as well stylistically remind everyone that yes, this is a mere imitation of the real deal. Another cause might be that the original format influences the plot so heavily that it simply wouldn't work in the other format. Yet, it isn't necessarily an adaptation trope. Maybe the work is just heavily inspired by another medium, and this is why it may try posing as an example, without actually being adapted from it. For example, a television series that is all about how awesome reading is might have "chapters" instead of "episodes", or an anime about video games might have "levels". Common versions, with their usual traits: Literature to Animation and Film: Starting with a Storybook Opening, or keeping whole written passages from the original work. Video Game to Film: Working the Multiple Endings into the story as parallel universes, or keeping gameplay mechanics like reliance on Plundering MedKits. Comic Books to Animation and Film: Dividing the screen into comic book panels, or keeping the onomatopoetic illustrations as effects. Visual Novels to Anime: POV Cams, maybe even with menu options. |

MS Paint Adventures are presented as Interactive Fiction games. And as for Homestuck... It's styled as Interactive Fiction, originally was an Interactive Comic (although that has since stopped), is a webcomic that is in style is reminiscent of an illustrated novel, occasionally includes animated features involving sound, and less commonly involves actual games that range from simple Fighting Games to RPG-style games revolving around interacting with various characters. Homestuck isn't just Indecisive Medium, it's Schizophrenic Medium. |

Odin Sphere is framed as a little girl reading a series of books about characters whose stories interconnect, so each character's tale starts with pages flipping and is separated into prologues, chapters, and epilogues. The 2d graphics are also a bit reminiscent of a picture book. | |

Persona 4: The Animation still keeps track of the main character's social stats during its eyecatches, despite the show obviously not having stat checks. This ended up being a really fun punchline when Persona 4: The Golden Animation started... and showed all of his stats already maxed out right from the beginning, quickly revealing that Golden would be, of all things, an adaptation of a New Game Plus playthrough. | |

Asura's Wrath tries hard to present itself as a playable Anime (to the point that some of the DLC is just anime with Quick Time Events on top, Dragon's Lair style).

The opening credits to DuckTales (2017) show the characters running through comic book panels. The ground (which turns out to be the logo) is a pattern of yellow dots suggesting the Ben-Day coloring process, although it's also equated at some points with Scrooge's money (he swims through it like his Pooled Funds). | |

The sides of most of the stages in Jump Super Stars and Jump Ultimate Stars look like a stack of pulp paper, mimicking the pages of Shonen Jump. Because of this, you can rip the sides away, allowing you to ring out your opponent. As your health goes down, you colors become more washed out as well, becoming greyscale when you only have a sliver of health. And, of course, the Inventory Management Puzzle that uses actual panels from the manga to determine your lineup. | |

In the CLANNAD anime, some of the jokes based on gag options, were conserved as Tomoya having a random Imagine Spot about what option would he choose if this where a visual novel, and it was shown on screen with an actual scene from the original game. Also, there is this whole thing about the light orbs, that were basically completion points in the game. | |

Rebuild of Evangelion ends with a Battle in the Center of the Mind, the first part of which HAS the Evas knock buildings around like they're light cardboard models, press against the painted background of the sky, step off the stage, and at one point Gendo kicks Shinji clean through the wall, causing him to fall out into a backstage area. The Evas themselves appear to be motion-captured CGI models, so they move like people in suits instead of the agile and dynamic monsters they are in the rest of the movie. The whole sequence is meant to look like a Toku setpiece, like the ones that originally inspired Hideaki Anno to become a director. | |

Disney's Winnie-the-Pooh frequently featured the characters as illustrations in the original book, complete with hopping between the pages and walking on the letters of the text. Unlike Storybook Openings, this happened all the way during the story. | |

Clue is based on a board game where solving the murder is the point of the game and so, for obvious reasons, the solution is rarely the same twice in a row. When the film was first released, each showing of it had one of three different endings, allowing viewers to see the film twice and get a different solution to the murder each time. (The video release included each of the endings, with title cards between them with captions like, "Or this is how it could have happened...") | |

The Princess Bride was presented as a movie about a grandfather reading a book to his sick grandson, echoing the novel's Framing Device of annotations in which the "editor" recalled being read the book himself as a boy. | |

Oreimo, as Visual Novels are a recurring theme in its plot, had choice screens, a Bad End screen, and at the ending of some episodes, still pictures imitating the style of CGs you get at the ending of a Visual Novel route. | |

Scott Pilgrim vs. The World does this twofold: As a film adaptation of a comic book whose plot runs on video-game logic, it has quite a few video-game elements (scores, extra lives, enemies that turn into coins when defeated, and so on) as well as displaying most of its flashback scenes in the form of animated comic book panels and making extensive use of comic-book style onomatopoeia. | |

Wishbone does this in three separate episodes: It first occurs in "Rosie, Oh! Rosie, Oh!", the episode based on Romeo and Juliet. Instead of Wishbone fantasizing about being a character in the story, as he usually does, in this episode he fantasizes about being an actor playing Romeo on stage. This allows the show to keep the downer ending without being actually depressing. In "The Canine Cure", Wishbone imagines himself as Molière playing Argan in The Imaginary Invalid. In "Rushin' to the Bone", Wishbone imagines himself as a Moscow Art Theatre actor performing in The Inspector General. |

Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number makes several cinematographic references. The levels are called "scenes" and are divided into "acts". In the level selection menu, each level is represented by a VHS tape cover. Pausing the game causes a VHS-style pause effect to appear on the screen, and when the plot moves forward or backward a couple of years, a "fast forward" or "rewind" screen appears. And at the end of the "table sequence" cutscene (shown as an intro when re-playing the game after beating it), Richard is shown activating a movie projector moments before the game starts. | |
