One-Hit-Point Wonder | comment |
A character who dies from a single hit or other incident of damage. Needless to say, this rarely applies to bosses, unless they are of the Zero-Effort variety. In older video games, this was frequently true of the protagonist (though almost always with Video-Game Lives to compensate); nowadays, the Player Character is usually only a One-Hit-Point Wonder if the programmers/developers want the game to be Nintendo Hard. As mentioned above, this is more common in older games (especially the Golden Age of Arcade Games), and part of what makes a game Nintendo Hard. Modern tactical shooters also use this feature as well, even if Instant Death Bullet itself also grates on the "realism" bit. Some games will give the One-Hit-Point Wonder access to a Single-Use Shield, body armor, or other powerups that allow them to take extra hits, but they still count as examples of this trope, provided that the character does not start off with said method of taking an extra hit. In some cases, this creates the bizarre effect of giving the Goddamned Bats more health than the player. Luckily, many games compensate for the player's virtually nonexistent resilience by ramping their attack power way up. This situation can happen quite often in the case of RPGs involving enemies who like to use an incapacitating status effect and a single player character who can't recover from it without help. This is usually due to either being separated from their party due to a plot event, or due to a solo character Self-Imposed Challenge. Rocket-Tag Gameplay has everyone in this situation, so that whoever manages to hit first will win. An Instakill Mook makes the character this even when it isn't normally. Compare Untouchable Until Tagged (where a single failure to dodge dooms a character), HP to 1 (an attack which turns characters into this), and Scratch Damage Enemy (technically a Supertrope but only due to all One-Hit-Point Wonders taking one damage before dying). Contrast One-Hit Kill. If it's a mook whose One Hit Point is exceptionally hard to remove, you've probably encountered a Metal Slime. Has nothing to do with a One-Hit Wonder, although it is sometimes referred to as such. Neither to be confused with Critical Existence Failure. |

WinBack: Featured an unlockable "Sudden Death Mode" wherein a single bullet was all it took to send you or any enemy to an early grave. Amusingly, this led to encounters with simple guards becoming white-knuckle standoffs, while most boss characters wound up on the floor before they even finished taunting you. | |

T2 The Arcade Game Has the level after Cyberdyne in which if the T-1000's police helicopter rams into the protagonists' SWAT van even once, the player has to start the level over. Definitely worse than That Truck Level. Of course, the helicopter was itself something of a one-hit wonder, as far as deflecting the attack went. Whereas that damn truck...you knew where it was, but good god, it was hard to stop. |

Etrian Odyssey V: Beyond the Myth: The Phantom Duelist title for Fencers has Lightweight, which increases evasion for each empty equipment slot the Fencer has. Forsake all armor and throw in the Fencer's Predict, and you effectively have this trope as the Fencer will die the moment anything manages to hit them despite the evasion buffs. The Impact Brawler title for Pugilists has Death's Edge that grows stronger with the party on lower health. It is strongest when you invoke this trope on your entire party... but you have to hope it kills before the enemy acts. |

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild: The skulls of the skeletal Stal- enemies have only a single hit point each, and need a single blow when on the ground — or a single arrow at any time — to be destroyed. Full skeletons can use their otherwise indestructible bodies to absorb blows, but cursed enemies — floating craniums spawned by certain pools of Malice — lack even this protection. Keese are batlike enemies with a single hit point each, which mostly serve as speedy annoyances thanks to their flight and elemental auras rather than truly challenging foes. Octoroks are a downplayed example. They technically have eight hit points, but that's still low enough that a single blow of all but the weakest Joke Items will do them in, and they mostly rely on being safely hidden under the ground except when firing projectiles. In the first challenge of the "Champions' Ballad" DLC Link is provided with a weapon, appropriately named the One-Hit Obliterator, which can kill any monster and destroy any breakable object in a single strike. However, the reverse is also true; Link's health, while using the weapon for the trial he's tasked with, is reduced to one quarter of a heart, thus he will die from even the slightest scratch. Even fairies and Mipha's Grace won't save you from this stipulation. During this challenge, Link is not permitted to switch to any other melee weapons, and any attempts to heal while it's equipped are immediately reversed. |

All Donkey Kong Country games play around with this. Donkey Kong Country: Starting from this game, since you are controlling two one hit point wonders at once, your partner fills in as your extra hit point. One single hit will take you out, but you don't lose a life. Your friend just takes over from there. Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest: There's a boss who goes down with only one hit: When you refight K.Rool in Krocodile Kore. The catch is that said boss has a very long string of attacks before they're finally vulnerable. Donkey Kong Country Returns: If you're on the minecart or rocket and you get hit once - you instantly lose a life regardless of your heart meter. You can expect that to happen if you're not careful. Also, there is a Mirror Mode where Diddy Kong doesn't appear at all and Donkey Kong only has one heart instead of the normal two hearts. Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze: Now averted with the Rocket Barrel and Minecart, which now take two hits (three if you bought a Crash Guard), and can also be healed if you pick up a heart. Played straight in Hard Mode, as the vehicles and your Kong do become a One-Hit-Point Wonder. |

Hyrule Warriors: Several stages in the Adventure Map have a mission stating "Watch Out! All Attacks Are Devastating!" where the goal is to kill x number of enemy captain units while everything dies in one hit. (technically you get a Last Chance Hit Point , but multi-hit attacks don't care about it. Enemies play this perfectly straight.) The Master Quest map has "Don't Get Hit!" stages that apply this effect solely to you. | |

WarioWare: Series-wide: In nearly all microgames, as well as most of the unlockable minigames, the player character dies after being damaged once. It would be easier to list the exceptions, such as the Punch-Out!! clone at the end of Jimmy's stages in the original and Gold, but even then, some opponents have a One-Hit Kill punch. WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$: The postgame mode Thrilling ends when the player fails one microgame. The challenge consists of clearing as many microgames as possible before that happens (reaching at least the 15th will unlock Hard Mode). WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Party Game$!: In One-Controller Survival, each player only gets one life, and failing any microgames results in immediate elimination from the competition. |

Ada's final mission in Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles is this for the duration of the sewers. It takes place after being owned by "Trenchy" and being thrown down a pit, leaving her to start the level limping, in bandages, and with her health in the red. Thankfully you can find a herb once you escape the sewers. | |

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate: The Shedinja spirit battle is against a Mr. Game and Watch with one health point. However, he has continually renewing invincibility and a permanent Franklin Badge to replicate Wonder Guard which means the player has to move fast to get in that one hit (or on the Spirit Board or rematches just use the Health Drain item) | |

Chocobo's Dungeon (Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo's Dungeon): This roguelike has optional mind zones where both you and monster's max hp are dropped to 1. The latter stages are even worse since it only your max hp which is set to 1 while the enemies have more HP than you. | |

Going Commando, the previous installment, had a similar gametype available in its arenas. Ratchet didn't die, per se, but he did have to start the round over if he wanted credit for completing it (and he would, naturally, need to buy new ammo). However, in these games you have access to energy shields which allow you to take hit(s) before losing these challenges. |

A Blurred Line: In the minigames. The driving minigame where you're forced to travel at high speed with little room to dodge obstacles (and other cars, which sometimes change lines right before you) and the Dalia segmet in Eisen's simulation, where you have to go through the narrow, skeleton-infested dungeons, are the worst offenders. | |

In most of the X-Universe series, Missiles series will be destroyed by a glancing blow from the weakest gun in the game. The latest game X3: Albion Prelude gives them a health bar, however. Also, M5 scoutships are effectively this when faced with the flak guns on a capital ship, and in the first two games every ship was one of these if its shields went down (X2: The Threat added hull armor as a mechanic). The space suit the player dons when going EVA explodes from a glancing hit from all but the absolute weakest weapon in the game - and hostile NPCs considers your space suit to be a good target. | |

Bugs Bunny: Crazy Castle (Looney Tunes): This old Game Boy and NES game has Bugs running around dozens of floors of a castle where the other Looney Tunes have been brainwashed or something, and running into one of them just once sends you back to the start of the level. Only two items can circumvent this: one that temporarily lets you walk through other characters and one that temporarily lets you walk through and kill other characters. Made worse in that some characters follow you around and a few float through walls and floors. | |

Wreck-It Ralph: Felix is one of these in his own game, as a few loose ceiling tiles is all it takes for him to go through his death animation (and instantly resurrect seconds later). Thankfully, he can take a lot more serious harm when he's in other games (necessary for the escape from the NesquikSand) The drawback there is, since you're not part of another game's data, if you actually do die outside your own game, you don't respawn - as in, ever. | |

Being shot once is fatal and a Working Joe will mash your head in before you have any chance to shake them off.

Operation Flashpoint: This game plays this one in a similar way; as a result, there's not even a health bar. However, not every hit is always fatal: depending on where the player is hit, it may make him unable to stand up and run normally (if hit on the legs) or render the aimpoint extremely wobbly (if the arms are no longer healthy). The game handled this in an interesting way. A hit on a certain part of the body would have a percentage chance to kill and a percentage chance to injure. For example, a headshot had 99% chance to both kill and injure, whereas limbs had 30% chance to kill and 85% chance to injure. This means that while any shot can kill, and most shots will injure, it is theoretically possible to survive a huge amount of gunfire (although highly unlikely). Large explosive weapons, like tank shells, which hit every body part with splash, would almost certainly kill. |

In Star Fox Guard, the player's main objective is to protect the tower in each base from attack by Combat Class robots.

Etrian Odyssey: Etrian Odyssey: Hexers can become this, if you try to maximize the damage for their Revenge skill — 255% of the health they've lost will be dealt to the enemy, but the Hexer will not survive a single blow. Etrian Odyssey V: Beyond the Myth: The Phantom Duelist title for Fencers has Lightweight, which increases evasion for each empty equipment slot the Fencer has. Forsake all armor and throw in the Fencer's Predict, and you effectively have this trope as the Fencer will die the moment anything manages to hit them despite the evasion buffs. The Impact Brawler title for Pugilists has Death's Edge that grows stronger with the party on lower health. It is strongest when you invoke this trope on your entire party... but you have to hope it kills before the enemy acts. |

Skylanders series: In Giants, at the end of the battle arena of chapter 12, the leader of the bad guys in the level, Pipsqueak, will be jumping down to battle you. You just have to hit him once before he says "Owie!" and sends in his Shadow Knight to do the fighting instead. In the 3DS version of Swap Force, you battle Count Moneybone in his robot suit multiple times. After the final fight against him, said robot suit breaks down and he decides to take you on himself with his "bone" hands. As it turns out, he really needed that suit if he wanted to be able to take more than one hit. |

In Disgaea D2: A Brighter Darkness, the Masked Hero's evility "Heart of a Flea" grants 5 extra movement spaces, allowing them to get into the middle of battle in mere seconds, or out of it if need be. The downside? The ability says Any hit with deathblow this unit. This means a unit a quarter of the level of the Masked Hero who lands a hit even if they'd deal no damage will still kill it instantaneously. And well before this, Disgaea 2 introduced the Deathblow Geo Effect, where anyone standing on a Geo Panel with this effect will be killed in a single hit. |

If you step into a pit that's as deep as your ankles, you die. The remake, Spelunker HD, makes earning extra lives very easy, because you're expected to die so much. | |

Teslagrad: Falling doesn't hurt, but brushing against fire, electricity, or monsters is instant death and room-restart. As it's a Puzzle Platformer with infinite lives this is usually not a big deal, but it's a headache in boss fights, since each time you progress to a new phase you have no idea what to expect and will probably be instantly killed, then have to start the fight from the beginning again. | |

In Nuign Specter everyone dies in one hit, which is no surprise, since it's more of a visual novel than a regular game. Not only that, but the only "hits" used (a shotgun blast and bear claws) would hardly be survivable in real life anyway. | |

Ace Combat: Player aircraft in this game go down with just one missile hit when played on the highest difficulty. Enemy aircraft, on the other hand, remain just as durable as on normal difficulty. In ACX, if you tune Cariburn with Light engine, Sylph wing, Fenrir ECMS, and CFRP armor, it will be a one hit-point wonder not only against missiles, but against guns, too. And since guns in ACX are slightly homing... |

World of Warcraft Players essentially become this in the Stranglethorn Streak "rumble," in which all the players involved in the rumble are stripped naked and have their level reduced before being forced to avoid the crocolisks, panthers, raptors and other fauna of Stranglethorn Vale. Getting hit once generally means death. In one world quest in Val'sharah, the players must take the form of a wisp and use its powers to nurture the trees planted around the pool. If the player gets eaten by the fish, the wisp "vehicle" is destroyed and the player will have to return to the quest area to get another. |

The Binding of Isaac Rebirth: The Lost is a secret character in this roguelike that starts with 0 Hearts and can't gain any extra Hearts of any form, so one hit and he's a goner. This in a game that is balanced for characters that start out able to take a few hits and progressively gain health throughout the game, making said spoiler character the game's Harder Than Hard mode. If you do, however, have the patience and skill, he unlocks some of the best items in the game. This trope is later avoided in the 'Afterbirth' DLC, which gives The Lost the Holy Mantle item as standard if you have donated 879 coins to the Greed Machine (a donation machine at the end of any successful Greed Mode run), which gives him an extra hit per room. Tainted Lost in Repentance take it even further. He foregoes the safety of a Holy Mantle and has to rely on the much more weaker and randomly dropping Holy Cards for a single hit of protection and can't get Extra Life items and certain powerful defensive itemsnote barring usage of the Spindown Dice or Death Certificate. In exchange, he has a better item pool that excludes normally useless items and has a higher chance of finding rarer items, which can lead to beyond godlike runs (where instant defeat is always right around the corner). |

XCOM: Enemy Unknown continues the trend with civilians. Those 3-HP health bars are just for poison, any attack from any alien will kill an unarmored human outright. Oh and they get no benefit from standing near cover. Which becomes a serious problem during "Alien terror attack" missions (think terrorism, alien style) because the enemy forces will use their weak yet outnumbering forces to try and kill as many humans as efficiently possible. The number of civilian survivors determines whether the terror attack will inflict mass panic in the country and its neighbors (possibly causing it to surrender to the aliens) or instead completely backfire and bolster confidence in XCOM's ability to protect humanity. | |

Several of the Japanese ships in Victory in the Pacific are this, having an armor factor of 0 such that any hit will sink them. One could perhaps think of them as "zero hit-point wonders", since in VITP, damage must exceed armor (i.e. hit points), not just equal it, to sink a ship. | |

Deconstructed in Undertale. If you run a check on Sans the skeleton at the beginning, you'll find that he is, with his 1 HP, 1 DEF and 1 ATK, the weakest enemy in the entire game. Usually he just pops up here and there, cracking jokes and pranking you while being lazy and disinterested in events, but if you activate the No Mercy route by killing every mob and NPC you run across, he will finally decide to act and challenge you to a fight to the death. That's when it's revealed that, while it's technically true that he's the game's weakest enemy, the check neglected to mention that he doesn't need more HP or DEF because he dodges every attack effortlessly. His own attacks bypass your Mercy Invincibility: he deals 1 HP damage per frame and a stackable Damage Over Time effect is applied with each hit, rendering your newly-acquired Infinity +1 Sword / Infinity+1 Armor useless. It's like Toby Fox is mocking you for thinking that numbers equal power. | |

In Binary Boy, the protagonist will die in one hit from anything. However, this is compensated by having checkpoints before each obstacle. | |

In the 3DS version of Swap Force, you battle Count Moneybone in his robot suit multiple times. After the final fight against him, said robot suit breaks down and he decides to take you on himself with his "bone" hands. As it turns out, he really needed that suit if he wanted to be able to take more than one hit. | |

Another World (known as Out Of This World in North American English) worked this way. Some combat elements, such as the blaster pistol capable of creating blaster shields, made it rather complicated to get through certain firefights, almost qualifying it as a Puzzle Game. The unsuspecting player is in for a surprise if he tries to run past the worms crawling on the ground in the first area. | |

Most sidescrolling games did this. Unless Mario gained a powerup, he died with one hit. Super Mario Bros. 2 is an exception, with a life meter, but it's a Dolled-Up Installment. The 3D games added a true life meter. | |

It also has Scaramanga's gun (from The Man with the Golden Gun), which is a weapon that basically turns the entire world into One Hit Point Wonders, because it instantly kills anything it hits. If you know your Bond, you'll know this is because Scaramanga was such a good shot, he never needed to shoot anyone twice. In the game, even shooting someone in the foot with it will instantly kill them, but the gun has only one bullet. There's also a golden PP7, which acts like the golden gun, but with 7 bullets. Though it wasn't programed as "this gun kills everything in one hit." It was programmed as "this gun does a lot of damage". Play with max health handicaps and a body armor pickup. If they shoot you in the foot, you live. A torso shot will still kill you, though. Also, Janus is immune to the effects of the Golden Gun. Janus can be killed from the golden gun on the last (non-bonus) level if you shoot him during one of the windows when he's vulnerable. You could also play with no guns in license to kill mode with everyone running around judo chopping. This essentially turned multiplayer into a game of lethal bumpercars mixed with a The Benny Hill Show sketch. |

Phantom Brave: The Risk debuff turns anyone into this: any attack, no matter how weak or strong, either kills them instantly or misses them. Quite annoying when a randomly-generated dungeon gives this debuff to a roomful of enemies that you would one-hit kill anyway... Makai Kingdom, working off a modified Phantom Brave engine, has the same effect. |

Rainbow Six: Most games in the this series use a variation. It only takes one solid hit to incapacitate a character — and, in the single-player campaigns for your team, possibly kill them, permanently removing them from the game. Less solid shots, such as to extremities, take two hits instead, and hamper the target on the first hit. Ghost Recon works much the same way. | |

Shining Force: Has this in the form of Jogurt, who has exactly one point in every single statistic. Though his hit points can be raised through items. Jogurt was largely a Self-Imposed Challenge, though successfully defeating an enemy with him awards you with the Jogurt ring, which doesn't do anything but change the sprite of another character into Jogurt. |

Dungeons & Dragons: In the 4th edition of this tabletop game, there's a "minion" class of monster who basically has the same stats as a normal NPC/monster of its type, but only 1 hit point. They basically have two purposes: to give the PCs a horde of easily dispatched enemies so the players can feel all badass, or to run interference for a more powerful enemy. In the earlier editions, it was quite possible for a first-level player character to have only one hit point, since you rolled only one Hit Die to set your maximum Hit Points. Common house rules were to treat all first-level characters starting hit points as though they rolled the highest number on the Hit Die, and this got formalized by 3rd edition. |

The Legend of Zelda: The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword: The Silent Realms are a series of No Gear Timed Missions where Link must collect the fifteen Sacred Tears scattered throughout each realm. If he runs out of time or is found by a Watcher, the Guardians of the realm will awaken and chase him down until he collects another Sacred Tear, which resets the timer. If they manage to land even a single hit on him, his spirit will dissipate and you'll have to start all over again. Needless to say, each Silent Realm is an incredibly stressful experience. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild: The skulls of the skeletal Stal- enemies have only a single hit point each, and need a single blow when on the ground — or a single arrow at any time — to be destroyed. Full skeletons can use their otherwise indestructible bodies to absorb blows, but cursed enemies — floating craniums spawned by certain pools of Malice — lack even this protection. Keese are batlike enemies with a single hit point each, which mostly serve as speedy annoyances thanks to their flight and elemental auras rather than truly challenging foes. Octoroks are a downplayed example. They technically have eight hit points, but that's still low enough that a single blow of all but the weakest Joke Items will do them in, and they mostly rely on being safely hidden under the ground except when firing projectiles. In the first challenge of the "Champions' Ballad" DLC Link is provided with a weapon, appropriately named the One-Hit Obliterator, which can kill any monster and destroy any breakable object in a single strike. However, the reverse is also true; Link's health, while using the weapon for the trial he's tasked with, is reduced to one quarter of a heart, thus he will die from even the slightest scratch. Even fairies and Mipha's Grace won't save you from this stipulation. During this challenge, Link is not permitted to switch to any other melee weapons, and any attempts to heal while it's equipped are immediately reversed. |

Guitar Freaks and DrumMania: Have the Risky option. If you turn it on, you can set it to 1, 2 or 4 before the song starts, then if you get that many POOR and MISS judgments combined, you fail instantly (but unlike other Bemani games, you can play out the rest of your songs, although you can no longer earn the Extra Stage). DanceDance Revolution X2 also added a Risky option. When turned on, you get the One More Extra Stage life meter, but you can play out the rest of your songs even if you fail. |

I Wanna Be the Guy: This freeware game, made from various NES and SNES sprites, takes this as far as possible. Almost everything that touches the player character will cause him to explode in a shower of red pixels, except the Medusa heads and Cheep Cheeps which knock him around (usually into something dangerous). Being hit by a flying Delicious Fruit or A Glass of Chianti is just as deadly as crashing into one of the innumerable Spikes of Doom. Lampshaded in the Fan Sequel I Wanna Be The Fangame, where the Kid is brought into a Pokémon battle screen, and his Life Meter starts at 1/1. |

The Adventure of Little Ralph: Ralph dies from a single hit from any enemy, unless he has a shield which allows him to take one more hit. This is justified in that Ralph spends most of the game as a young child, and in boss battles after the middle of the game, he turns back into a man and can take a large number of hits without dying. Then Ralph randomly turns back into a boy afterwards. | |

Hotline Miami: Jacket and the Biker can be killed by a single clean hit, as do enemies (aside from the Thugs and bosses). It doesn't help that the game is incredibly fast-paced. However, there are unlockable masks that allow you to take a few more hits than usual. Also, there is occasionally a small bit of RNG-based leeway when it comes to guns; occasionally, bullets will simply graze Jacket or any Mooks, allowing them to continue as normal. The Bodyguard, whom Jacket fights in the last level of the game, is also one of these. The only thing that he needs to do in order to cripple her is to simply throw a trophy at her head, which instantly takes her out of the fight. However, while she's up, she can use throwing knives and perform a deadly swipe with her katana. |

This is normally not the case in Bayonetta series, especially since Last Chance Hit Point is a built-in feature, but from time to time you end up controlling a character who dies or loses the entire health bar in one hit. Across the franchise, there are side missions where you are given a single HP, meaning getting hit once automatically fails you the mission. One secret character in the first game is set to always take 7900 points of damage from any attack. Given that the absolute maximum HP you can have from upgrades is 8000, this means that unless you have found all health upgrade, a single scratch will immediately bring that character to their last HP. A secret character in the second game is a Glass Cannon par excellence, which is especially a problem in the game's optional Tag Climax battle where Last Chance Hit Point is disabled (in most cases) and the hardest enemies can instantly KO that character with a single attack. |

The sequel, Cadence of Hyrule, has Yves, who has a single heart. He can't use most equipment in the game, cannot obtain heart containers, and his main attacks are bumping into enemies and shooting seeds. The Character DLC pack also adds in the aforementioned Aria, who also can't obtain heart containers and retains her "missing a beat equals death" mechanic. | |

The titular character of Sly Cooper is one in the first game. Later games in the series gave him a Life Meter, while he could collect a Single-Use Shield in the first game, being able to take two hits without dying at maximum. Also during the development of Thieves In Time, there was going to be a mode called Horseshoe Mode that would have been unlocked after beating the game the first time. It would have functioned just like the first game with the one hit point mechanic and the player could collect 2 horse shoes to avoid dying. This did make the final product because of time constraints and some negative feedback from play testers. | |

GoldenEye (1997): Has this as an optional game mode in multiplayer, aptly named "License to Kill." Even the basic slap will kill an opponent. It also has Scaramanga's gun (from The Man with the Golden Gun), which is a weapon that basically turns the entire world into One Hit Point Wonders, because it instantly kills anything it hits. If you know your Bond, you'll know this is because Scaramanga was such a good shot, he never needed to shoot anyone twice. In the game, even shooting someone in the foot with it will instantly kill them, but the gun has only one bullet. There's also a golden PP7, which acts like the golden gun, but with 7 bullets. Though it wasn't programed as "this gun kills everything in one hit." It was programmed as "this gun does a lot of damage". Play with max health handicaps and a body armor pickup. If they shoot you in the foot, you live. A torso shot will still kill you, though. Also, Janus is immune to the effects of the Golden Gun. Janus can be killed from the golden gun on the last (non-bonus) level if you shoot him during one of the windows when he's vulnerable. You could also play with no guns in license to kill mode with everyone running around judo chopping. This essentially turned multiplayer into a game of lethal bumpercars mixed with a The Benny Hill Show sketch. |

Super Mario Bros.: Most sidescrolling games did this. Unless Mario gained a powerup, he died with one hit. Super Mario Bros. 2 is an exception, with a life meter, but it's a Dolled-Up Installment. The 3D games added a true life meter. New Super Mario Bros. has some bonus routes that can only be reached by Mini Mario, which is even smaller than small Mario (thus forcing you to ground pound in order to actually damage enemies) and just as fragile. Some exits are found after boss battles, which become much more challenging with this powerup. Super Mario Galaxy does this in its daredevil runs, where Mario's Life Meter has only one hit point. This is usually reserved for a repeat of a completed boss battle. The final star in Super Mario Galaxy 2 takes a level that was already Nintendo Hard with three hitpoints and three check-points, and throws in a Daredevil Comet and removes the checkpoints. It borders on being Platform Hell. Mario fan games Paper Mario World 2 and Mario!!! (not to be confused with the series, that's all the game is called) go even further: one hit from anything boots you back to the title screen. No checkpoints, additional lives or save points either, so one hit really does end it all. Super Mario Pandemonium is also like this, although it at least has a lives counter. In Super Mario Run, prior to the Remix Ten update. The other playable characters outside of Mario and Luigi couldn't use Super Mushrooms and died in a single hit. The update lets them take a hit and shrink before dying. |

Galactic Civilizations II: It is possible to design a ship armed to the teeth but with just one HP. This is accomplished by using the cargo hull as the base. This is usually done out of desperation in the early stages of the game in order to fight off a much stronger enemy (like the Dread Lords) until you can research bigger and stronger hull types. The ship usually will be destroyed but may deal significant damage to the enemy. Combine a few of these in a fleet, and you got yourself a disposable armada. Granted, the costs are higher than those of smaller ships, but desperate times call for desperate measures. Also, putting defenses on these is usually pointless, unless you can put more defenses than the enemy has firepower. This is actually the recommended strategy for fighting Dread Lords: they kill everything in one hit anyway (their weapons are just that powerful: even at the top of the tech tree no defense can stand up to them), so you might as well forgo defenses and concentrate entirely on offense. |

Final Fantasy VI: About halfway through the game, you will be controlling one character on a small island. The random battles consist of two monster types that have a single hit point each. On top of that, they start the battle with a HP Sap effect, meaning they often die before anyone gets a turn. They're almost completely useless for anything but decursing an item that requires you fight 255 battles with it equipped, but you can steal Elixirs or Megalixirs from them if you're fast enough. They do have one extremely useful benefit; if Gau ever ran into them in the Veldt (where almost every enemy in the game would reappear), he could imitate them. If Strago was in the party when Gau did so, he could learn a couple Game-Breaker spells (like Mighty Guard, which made boss battles a complete joke). However, it's also possible to be afflicted with Zombie status on that same island (there's a formation of monsters in the desert that doesn't belong to this trope). Since Zombie makes your character uncontrollable, and you'll only have that one character at the time, you're potentially a One-Hit-Point Wonder until you get off the island. Or until you equip a Ribbon. The monsters, should they get a chance to hit you, do about average damage for this point in the game. So despite the lameness of their HP stat and their Seizure status, they can pose a challenge for a low-level character. |

Donkey Kong: Jumpman (later renamed Mario), from Donkey Kong arcade game. Not only will he die from touching one of the various hazards (barrels, spring-things, fire, pies), he'll also die just from falling several feet. Jumpman, a game for the Commodore 64 not related to Mario, is like this as well. Getting hit, jumping or walking off a ledge, climbing into solid wall, and a few other things are instant kill. Just don't set run speed to 01. All Donkey Kong Country games play around with this. Donkey Kong Country: Starting from this game, since you are controlling two one hit point wonders at once, your partner fills in as your extra hit point. One single hit will take you out, but you don't lose a life. Your friend just takes over from there. Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest: There's a boss who goes down with only one hit: When you refight K.Rool in Krocodile Kore. The catch is that said boss has a very long string of attacks before they're finally vulnerable. Donkey Kong Country Returns: If you're on the minecart or rocket and you get hit once - you instantly lose a life regardless of your heart meter. You can expect that to happen if you're not careful. Also, there is a Mirror Mode where Diddy Kong doesn't appear at all and Donkey Kong only has one heart instead of the normal two hearts. Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze: Now averted with the Rocket Barrel and Minecart, which now take two hits (three if you bought a Crash Guard), and can also be healed if you pick up a heart. Played straight in Hard Mode, as the vehicles and your Kong do become a One-Hit-Point Wonder. |

However, their attacks will knock you back and break your combo, ruining your finesse score.

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword: The Silent Realms are a series of No Gear Timed Missions where Link must collect the fifteen Sacred Tears scattered throughout each realm. If he runs out of time or is found by a Watcher, the Guardians of the realm will awaken and chase him down until he collects another Sacred Tear, which resets the timer. If they manage to land even a single hit on him, his spirit will dissipate and you'll have to start all over again. Needless to say, each Silent Realm is an incredibly stressful experience. | |

Crypt Of The Necrodancer: Aria and Coda only have half a heart and cannot obtain heart canisters, and therefore die if they take any damage (Unless they have a potion, which Aria starts with and is good for a single revival, or if they are wearing glass armor, which saves them from being hit once). In Aria's case, it represents how frail she is because she's the oldest of the main story characters. Additionally, they die if they miss a beat. The sequel, Cadence of Hyrule, has Yves, who has a single heart. He can't use most equipment in the game, cannot obtain heart containers, and his main attacks are bumping into enemies and shooting seeds. The Character DLC pack also adds in the aforementioned Aria, who also can't obtain heart containers and retains her "missing a beat equals death" mechanic. |

Grabbed by the Ghoulies: Gives you a life bar at all times, but will change the number of hit points you start with on a room-by-room basis, and several rooms give you only 1. Usually however, these rooms will come without a prescribed challenge besides reaching the open door on the other side, with only a small number of low-level enemies to evade if any at all. Not always, though. There is also a trick power-up that temporarily reduces your health to 1. It will return to its previous total in a few seconds if you can survive. |

Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal: While you had hit points in the rest of the game, one of the deathmatch types at Annihilation Nation, appropriately named "One Hit Wonder", forces you to kill waves of enemies without taking a single hit. Going Commando, the previous installment, had a similar gametype available in its arenas. Ratchet didn't die, per se, but he did have to start the round over if he wanted credit for completing it (and he would, naturally, need to buy new ammo). However, in these games you have access to energy shields which allow you to take hit(s) before losing these challenges. |

Bomberman: Most of the early games made the titular hero a One-Hit-Point Wonder. He can survive one hit if he has the "Heart" power-up, which acts as a Single-Use Shield. Starting with the Nintendo 64 era, Bomberman got a lifebar. What makes this funny is that he could be one-shotted by bumping into balloons, of all things (Granted they are cute monster balloons, but still...), making his case very obscure. "Standard" mode in Act Zero plays like this, with the added condition of only giving the player one life to go with it. Should you get hit by any bomb blast (including your own) without a shield, your game is over (made extra-frustrating because the single-player mode is very long, and the player is not provided with any continues or save points of any sort — got killed on level 98? Back to level one for you!). |

In the Picross series, filling in or erasing a tile that's not part of the solution will usually result in a time or rank penalty.

Devil May Cry: Introduced in Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening, the "Heaven or Hell" difficulty makes everyone, player character, enemies, and bosses alike, go down in one hit. The playable character will die from environmental damage to which enemies are immune. Enemies that are only vulnerable in certain weak points still retain that, as well. "Hell or Hell" mode, introduced in Devil May Cry 4, just makes you go down in one hit, although to compensate for it, you get a stock of three Auto-Revive items that are replenished at checkpoints. |

Pokémon: Shedinja is a unique example of this in a game that doesn't usually use it. While lifebars do exist in-game, Shedinja only ever has a single hit point (as in, the game is scripted in such a way that Shedinja can not have more than 1 HP. Anything that would cause its max HP to increase, such as leveling up or using certain items, either just don't or can't be used on it to begin with, respectively. Even the Dynamax mechanic from Generation VIII, which can double a Pokémon's max HP, has no effect on Shedinja's), making its own life bar rather pointless. It's kept from being a novelty Pokémon by its ability, "Wonder Guard", which protects it from all direct damage that isn't super effective. Unfortunately, Wonder Guard doesn't protect Shedinja from indirect damage; meaning everything from Status Effects, damaging weather such as hail or sandstorms, entry hazards like Stealth Rocks or Spikes, Leech Seed, and even recoil from its own attacks are fair game. In the 3rd generation, the "?????" glitch will tend to faint after any opposing attack. It starts displaying no HP, though you can still choose a move or action. You could have "?????" if you entered a battle without your own creatures, unlike previous games where you might actually win by default. Getting it like this is usually prevented, if playing normally. Some ROM hacks will allow for the player to fight using one - often in a futile way - such as the incomplete Pokémon Desolate version (by BCT Elite) by accident, or the complete Pokémon Wild Oaks (by Luminesce) intentionally. The latter goes even further than this in its quest for exaggerated difficulty. |

However, the mode still gives you 100 Armor, so Iji can survive machinegun/pulse fire as long as it doesn't drain her Armor.

Both Space Crusade and the original version of HeroQuest seem to follow the logic that everything only has one hit point unless there's some special way of tracking them. Thus, the only things in HeroQuest that originally have more than one hit point are the hero characters, whose can be tracked on their character sheets; even boss monsters only have one hit point, and tougher monsters are just harder to hit at all (meaning that the two hardest-hitting spells in the game can one-shot practically anything). In Space Crusade, the Space Marine commander's hit points can be tracked on the "radar", and he has a whole six of them while all the Space Marine troopers have one hit point — and the only "monster" with more than one is the Destructor, which is a big, multi-part model with separately attacheable weapons, and it concretely loses one weapon per lost hit point. | |

There is also a way of becoming a One-Hit-Point Wonder in Castlevania: Circle of the Moon - use the Black Dog and Pluto DSS cards together and you turn into a skeleton. However, while in this mode, one attack will kill you. The advantage of this mode is that while Up + B will usually throw a skeleton bone, randomly it will throw a big skeleton bone. Anything it comes into contact with - mook, boss, whatever - gets a guaranteed 9999 damage, thus turning them into One-Hit-Point Wonders. |

Pilotwings: The game throws an Unexpected Gameplay Change halfway through and for its final mission, as both are helicopter missions where you must rescue given people while shooting down enemy turrets. If they nail you, your helicopter is instantly busted and plummets to the ground, bringing the mission and game to an abrupt stop. | |

Clock Tower: Not exactly, because in terms of gameplay, your character has several different stages of health, but they don't actually die if it hits 0. When that does happen, they can no longer avoid your enemy if they catch you. However, the character does not actually get hurt unless they die, making this an odd example, especially in Clock Tower 2 (1 in North A Merican English) and The Struggle Within, where failing these events kills you, no matter how much health you have. Surviving them makes your health go down, as opposed to dying. This makes it more of a, "You have a health bar, but you still die if you're hit at all". | |

In Kid Radd, Bogey, being a typical enemy sprite, dies in a single hit, so in a fighting game, his life bar is reflected by a single portrait of him. As such, it's eventually decided that it's too dangerous for him to go into games to free sprites, but it doesn't stop him from performing a Heroic Sacrifice to give Radd a vitally needed health powerup. | |

Most games in the Adventure Island series do this. Even though you have what looks like a Life Meter, it's actually the timer. One hit kills you. Tripping on rocks also decreases the meter. The exception is Adventure Island: the Beginning, in which taking hits knocks time off the meter. | |

Gaiares: At least until you get a shield, then you're a 6-or-so-hit-point-wonder. unless you die on the final stage, which has no such shield item, which is one of the reasons why that stage (which is ONLY a boss fight) is That One Boss. Oddly enough, your TOZ can block some bullets. | |

The titular character from Sonic the Hedgehog is this whenever he doesn't have rings. Sonic the Hedgehog and Sonic the Hedgehog 2 took full advantage of this with their Final Boss levels, The Final Zone, and Death Egg Zone, which do not contain even a single ring. Sonic Frontiers has the Extreme Difficulty introduced in the "Sights, Sound and Speed" update, which locks Sonic's stats at level 1 for the entire playthrough, and more importantly, makes him go down from a single hit from any enemy, regardless of how many rings he has. This restriction even applies to the normally-invulnerable Super Sonic. |

Deadly Rooms of Death: In this series, the player and everybody else has one hit point, with the exception of very large enemies that shrink when you hit them (snakes and the rock giant). In addition, some enemies can't be killed with any of your own weapons. Added to this that it is a turn based tactical game with tiny turns, to the point of being a puzzle game, and it was designed by a bunch of total sadists, the series is one of the hardest around. DROD RPG uses HP for the player and the monsters, and employs deterministic statistic-based combat mechanics, which also cause a need for difficult strategizing. | |

Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis: The 60-year-old U-boat captain, if you decide to fight him, has a ridiculously short power bar as well as a health bar that's shorter than Indiana Jones' power bar. One hit will win the fight, and to lose the fight you basically need to stand around doing nothing while the captain punches away at Indy. The 'Game Over' screen for losing is funny, though. | |

See how long you'll live when even a shotgun fired from across the map can kill you Same goes for a Spy with the Conniver's Kunai (-55 max health) on an x10 server. That is at least until he gets a Back Stab. |

The Skull Eaters of Final Fantasy V have one hit point. They are also one of the worst things to run into because they have an insanely high evasion rate and if you try to get around that with magic, they summon four buddies who will proceed to murder the party. About the only way to cope with them is with a fixed-damage attack (like 1000 Needles) or with the Excalipoor, which only hits for 1HP but is guaranteed to do so. At least they give pretty decent AP for the trouble. | |

DEFCON: Every unit in this game, quite realistically. How many torpedo hits do you think a sub can take? To balance this, the chance to hit is quite low. This was done because the developers felt that tracking hit points for every single entity in the game would bog it down too much, so instead gave things varying chances to be hit. | |

Spyro the Dragon: In the original games at least, should count. Without Sparx, one hit and he's a goner. Not even Spyro's Friends Sheila the Kangaroo, Sgt Byrd the Penguin, Bentley the Yeti, and Agent 9 the Monkey in Spyro: Year of the Dragon or Hunter the Cheetah and Blink the Mole in Spyro: A Hero's Tail are safe from being killed in one hit when Sparx is gone. Averted with Sparx the Dragonfly when you play as him in his own special areas that you can access by Sparx Signs in Year of the Dragon and A Hero's Tail, he can take 8 hits in Year of the Dragon and 3/4 hits in A Hero's Tail before he dies. |

Glider: These games would make you lose a glider if you hit almost anything that wasn't a prize. Having aluminum foil in Glider PRO would shield you to some extent, but foil wasn't a guaranteed find and would be hard or literally impossible to keep. | |

Titan Souls: Titan Souls's protagonist is this incarnated. The game consists of Shadow of the Colossus style bosses with Dark Souls difficulty. The immense difficulty combined with the fact that attack that lands instantly kills you is challenging to say the least. What makes this game stand out though is not it's difficulty, but the fact the bosses are ALSO one-hit wonders, just very hard to hit ones. In some cases it tackles multiple hits to expose the boss's weak point, but the boss still goes down in a single hit once it's weak point is hit. | |

Jumper: This series takes this trope, uses it, loves it, becomes one with it. It also does the same with Malevolent Architecture and becomes many times harder because of the most evil game mechanic known to man — the golden arrows, which allow you to make more than one Double Jump in midair. This leads to aerial "jump mazes", usually completely surrounded by hazards, requiring pixel-precise jumps to pass it. Yes, it's as hard as it sounds and, yes, this is part of the fun. | |

DJMAX Portable: In this series, as well as DJMAX Trilogy, some missions have you clearing a song or set of songs without missing a single note; instead of allowing you to continue having failed the mission, the game simply throws you an instant Game Over. There's also one particular mission in DJMAX Portable 2, "Just 1%", where getting a MAX 1% (the lowest judgment you can get from hitting a note) is an instant game over as well. DJMAX Portable 3 offers modifiers called "1 BREAK: GAME OVER" and "1%: GAME OVER", which have the same effects. | |

ESWAT: Uses Body Armor As Hitpoints. You die in one hit without the titular Powered Armor, and you don't have it in the first few missions, which have you working your way up in rank.

maimai has bonus tracks called Challenge Tracks that, when played, give you a Life Meter dependent on how old the track is, with older tracks giving you more health. Getting any note judgement below a Perfect takes away one life. If you attempt a Challenge Track less than two days after it's been released, you get only one life, i.e. you must play the chart perfectly or you will fail instantly! | |

RefleX: This game is particularly cruel with this trope. In Area 7, a rather brutal encounter with a boss results in the player ship receiving an upgrade to firepower and an infinite-use reflect shield...but for the rest of the game, the player ship has no armor. This is a game that does not have extra lives. If a single attack touches your hitbox, Game Over. | |

Muramasa: The Demon Blade: The Shigurui difficulty level turns your character into this. Although to balance it out, any time you're not in a bossfight, Death Is a Slap on the Wrist and as long as you have at least 1 sword intact, you can block pretty much any attack and not die from it. You can also do it in midair during some attacks, making it seem that the character is casually shrugging off an attack that should've killed'em several times over. | |

Ristar featured this. The highest (secret) difficulty level not only turns the titular character into a One-Hit-Point Wonder, but also a One-Life Wonder. Just one touch is instant death, and all health and 1UPs turn to gems. As compensation, the game gives unlimited continues, so death only sends one back to the start of the level. | |

Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story: While not showing one health, does this when the Glass Cannon type Daredevil Boots are equipped as an item. You have doubled attack, but one hit kills you outright. This is essentially a downgrade of Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga's "Great Force" item, which doubled your attack power but halved your defense. (A One-Hit-Point Wonder is automatically more fragile than a Glass Cannon, no matter how frail the Glass Cannon is.) | |

Wario Land 4, just like most Mario platformers, in that while on Super Hard Mode you technically do have more health, you always start the levels with only one hit point left, usually right in front of a monster ready to kill you on contact.

Dragon's Lair: In the NES version, the player actually has a life bar, but most hazards in the game kill him instantly, such as touching a stationary, ordinary door. In fact, the ONLY two enemies in the game that do not spell instant death are the bats and the skulls. Why did they bother? This also applies to most enemies in the game, however. Even the big bad Black Knight, the giant Bat King and the skeletal Crypt Keepers are vanquished with one blow from Dirk's trusty blade. |

GURPS has loads and loads of rules that can be switched on and off to play any kind of campaigns. A cinematic rule allows for Mooks that are killed or incapacitated if they take so much as a singe point of damage (damage still has to penetrate their DR though), in contrast to named characters who use normal GURPS rules. | |

XCOM: Your soldiers actually have life bars but, until they are experienced and get armor (and it takes a while), for practical purposes they might as well be one of these. The health bars average between 40 and 60 health points, and the weakest alien weapon (Plasma Pistol or Sonic Pistol) does 80 damage. An extremely lucky soldier will survive a single hit, be knocked unconscious from the pain, and then die the following turn from bleeding out. XCOM: Enemy Unknown continues the trend with civilians. Those 3-HP health bars are just for poison, any attack from any alien will kill an unarmored human outright. Oh and they get no benefit from standing near cover. Which becomes a serious problem during "Alien terror attack" missions (think terrorism, alien style) because the enemy forces will use their weak yet outnumbering forces to try and kill as many humans as efficiently possible. The number of civilian survivors determines whether the terror attack will inflict mass panic in the country and its neighbors (possibly causing it to surrender to the aliens) or instead completely backfire and bolster confidence in XCOM's ability to protect humanity. |

Star Raiders: In this classic Atari videogame, the ship goes down in one hit from an asteroid or enemy photon. Fortunately the ship's energy can retain a shield which changes hits from fatal to merely damaging some key component of your ship (at easier levels, there's a chance it won't even hurt). The shield itself is a damageable component, so you are at least two photons away from death. | |

While Melting from Nuclear Throne starts out with 2 HP, it doesn't save him from this trope due to the majority of all enemies (even The Goomba) dealing 2 damage. | |

System Shock 2: If you play on Impossible difficulty as an OSA operative, you start with 10HP... which is coincidentally the exact amount of damage done by the very first enemy you encounter, a pathetically weak (on any other difficulty) pipe-wielding parasite zombie. While there are enemies that deal less damage, the fact that you're a one-hit-kill at the very start of the game means that the Impossible OSA path definitely qualifies for this trope. | |

A secret character in the second game is a Glass Cannon par excellence, which is especially a problem in the game's optional Tag Climax battle where Last Chance Hit Point is disabled (in most cases) and the hardest enemies can instantly KO that character with a single attack. | |

Soul Nomad & the World Eaters: Rooms with the Antimatter decor provide a hefty evade chance (so attacks have a chance of not hitting at all, no matter how powerful), but if you get hit you lose all health. Annoyingly, your enemies only play with the first rule. | |

Averted with Sparx the Dragonfly when you play as him in his own special areas that you can access by Sparx Signs in Year of the Dragon and A Hero's Tail, he can take 8 hits in Year of the Dragon and 3/4 hits in A Hero's Tail before he dies. | |

Dragon Ball: Raging Blast 2's Galaxy Mode has a few missions for some characters that have them start at near death. Essentially leaving them with an almost empty health bar and can be just knocked out with one punch or ki blast from their enemy. The worst part is that this doesn't do the same for your enemies. | |

Metroid: Metroid: Other M: Hard Mode removes all extra Energy Tanks, Missile Expansions, and Accel Charges, leaving Samus with 99 energy (one Energy Tank) and 5 Missiles. By halfway through the game, most enemies and bosses will do more than a whole energy tank's worth of damage, killing her in a single strike. Metroid Dread: Dread Mode, a difficulty added in a free update that turns Samus into this, meaning any enemy will kill her in a single hit. The same goes for Dread Rush, a higher difficulty version of the following free Boss Rush update. |

Vengeful Guardian: Moonrider has a Module aptly named "Glass Cannon." Unlike the trope it's likely named after, the Module does not allow you to kill all the enemies in one hit at the cost of you dying in one hit. Instead, the Module makes it so you die immediately should you take damage, whereas all the enemies' and bosses' health remains the same. | |

Bubble Bobble series: Even wind-up-toys can kill you. Keep in mind that Rainbow Islands and Parasol Stars ditch the bubble dragons for human protagonists. Who also die when they touch anything. This carries on when the bubble dragons return for Symphony and Memories, both made in 1994-95. And in Symphony, when the characters turn back into humans, they can still die easily. To access any secrets, No Damage Runs (thus, No Death Runs) are a necessity too. |

Kingdom Hearts: In Kingdom Hearts II, the reward for getting 100% Completion on the Gummi Ship missions is the Crown/G gummi piece. When equipped it causes the Ship to start off in "berserk mode", but makes it so any hit will kill you. In Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days, equipping the Extreme accessory sets your HP to one, but gives you infinite use of Limit Breaks. Re:coded has an unlockable cheat that reduces the maximum HP of both Sora and enemies to the designated percentage. Setting it to 0% leaves everyone with one HP. |

The Unreal Tournament series has "Instagib" mode, where every player's sole weapon is a shock rifle that causes instant death. You still have the usual 100 hit points, and Falling Damage and other secondary forms of injury are no more dangerous than usual; but generally there are no health packs in this mode, so if you're good at dodging death rays you may die of minor damage accumulation. | |

Sigma Star Saga: This shmup / RPG hybrid is an odd example. Your character has a Life Meter, but the animation for getting hit shows his ship exploding and a new one flying in from offscreen, like in most shmups. Handwaved by the plot: the Alien Empire for which the hero works has enough resources to build countless living ships but is lacking decent pilots, so the pilots are teleported from ship to ship, but each teleportation strains the pilot's health... if they are forced to teleport too much, they will die. There is a two hit wonder: a boxy-carrier. One hit causes it to crack open and fall apart, revealing a small and nimble warship. |
