In the setting, there exists an entity that grants wishes—any wishes, and not in a jerkass way—to those who reach it. However, the path to this entity is long and perilous, so that only those of strong conviction can reach it. The plot of the story then centers on a character or characters trying to do just that. Possible plot points may include: The group being a Ragtag Bunch of Misfits having their own selfish goals but banding together for a better chance of success. Finding out what each character's wishes actually are. The individual wishes changing as they get closer to the goal, possibly culminating in a Selfless Wish. |

In the Adventure Time episode "To the Limit", Finn and Jake explore a dangerous labyrinth alongside a bunch of talking hot dogs to get their wish of having an Ancient Psychic Tandem War Elephant. When they reach the wish granter, the hot dogs are so stupid they waste their wishes and Jake is so exhausted he wishes for a sandwich, leaving Finn to choose between saving his friends but making their journey pointless or getting the elephant but losing Jake. He beats the choice by choosing the elephant and psychically dominating it to make it use its wish to save the others. | |

One issue of Miracleman, toward the end of the series, is about a group of people climbing a mountain to meet the now-godlike Miracleman and petition him to grant their respective wishes. Some of them are being less than honest about their reasons for doing the pilgrimage. Not all of them make it to the top, and not all those who do get a satisfactory result for their trouble. | |

Odin Sphere: When the Kingdom of Valentine fell, its inhabitants were cursed into becoming Pooka, and with many magic spells unable to break the curse, they turned to another solution: by collecting all of the enchanted coins minted in their kingdom, the collective magic can be used for a wish; in this case, it's to undo the Pooka's Curse. This is reflected in-game by the Valentine Coins being the only currency accepted by the Pooka Cafe and shops. The game's True Ending has a final scene where Cornelius and Velvet finally manage to collect all of the coins, and undo the curse. | |

One episode of Counter Monkey tells the story of a group of adventurers seeking a genie's aid in removing a curse that was going to turn them into animals. Unfortunately, when they reach the center of the genie's temple, Vegan Steve, the party thief, wishes for a Deck of Many Things instead, and has to run like hell when his friends realize what he just did. Not only does the Deck grant him a cure for the curse, he gets EVERY SINGLE GOOD CARD IN THE DECK OF MANY THINGS, save one. When the rest of the party finally catches up to him, they find his body surrounded by treasure, the deed to a castle clutched in one hand, the Void card in the other. Spoony, realizing how downhill his campaign had become, decides there was enough cure for the rest of the group to undo their curses. | |

The first arc of Kamen Rider Ghost boils down to this. Several parties are trying to collect the 15 Heroic Eyecons so they can get a wish: Takeru wants to wish himself back to life, Makoto wants to restore his little sister, and Saionji wants power. Takeru gets the wish and restores Makoto's sister; his "resurrection timer" gets reset shortly thereafter. At the end of the series he's granted a second wish and comes back to life. | |

Baman Piderman. In the episode "Happy Winter Friends", Baman and Piderman realize that Pumkin is rotting, so they set off on a quest through another dimension to find a Winter Friends Wish so they can use it to save Pumkin. Instead of a wish, they find a Sousaphone, who tells Baman that the wish was inside him all along. As in, literally inside Baman's chest. Not only does the wish heal Pumkin, it also gives him arms and legs. | |

Xanth books frequently involve quests to have one's problems solved by Magician Humphrey, a grouchy old wizard who sets all kinds of dangers and tests at his tower. In the first book the plot is set off because Bink, a man who's going to be exiled for being the Un-Sorcerer, tries to find out his talent from Humphrey but even he is stumped. | |

The Legend of Zelda: The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past: The game revolves around Link's quest for the wish-granting Triforce; he wants it less to make a wish of his own and more to get it out of the hands of Ganon, who had previously used it to take over the Sacred Realm (in the process turning it into the Dark World) and is currently using it to invade the Light World. Once Link gets it, however, he realizes that he can use it to undo all of Ganon's evil works. Link has to make a wish to unlock the second pendant palace, though the wish is unstated. Notably, the palace entrance requirement is that he make a wish, not a specific one: it's entirely possible that he just wished to enter the palace. The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds, a distant sequel to A Link to the Past, has Hilda and Yuga of Lorule scheme to steal Hyrule's Triforce to replace Lorule's, which had been destroyed centuries before by Well Intentioned Extremists who were unaware that it was a Cosmic Keystone without which their world would slowly crumble.

In Banana no Nana, the legend says that whoever reaches the legendary land of Oz (reference intentional) in the far west of the continent can ask for any wish to be granted. The title heroine plans to become the king of the world this way. In the ending, it turns out that Oz is actually on the moon, and while it can grant any wish to anyone, that person must then kill the one they love the most with their own hands or the world will be destroyed. | |

Destiny 2: The aptly named Season of the Wish focuses on the Coalition trying to reach an agreement with Riven to make a wish to open a path to the Pale Heart of the Traveler. Complicating things is that Riven's physical body was killed all the way back in Forsaken which, while not being too inconvenient, has made Riven rather angry at the Tower, especially since the Guardians wiped out almost all of the other Ahamkara. Additionally, Riven confirms that her physical death has weakened her powers such that this wish will be her final one, with the caveat being that she will only grant it if the Guardians can retrieve all of her surviving, untainted eggs. | |

Brawl of the Objects has a wish-granting Golden Ticket as the mysterious Grand Prize, which is only revealed in the final episode, but retroactively makes the entire series up to that point an example of this trope. Despite not being the winner, Pinecone is the only who gets to make a wish when he steals the Ticket while everyone else was focusing on the race between the final two. | |

Puss in Boots: The Last Wish: Puss becomes fearful of permanently dying after losing his eighth life and retires, until he hears of a magical shooting star that has landed in the Dark Forest which will grant any wish to the first person who reaches it. Puss's adventuring courage is rejuvenated as he realizes he can wish his eight lives back. However, he's not the only one looking for the star; he reencounters his old paramour Kitty Softpaws, and they reluctantly team up against Goldilocks and the Three Bears, as well as "Big" Jack Horner and his squad of fighting bakers. In the end, no one gets the wish, as Goldilocks, Puss, and Kitty realize they didn't really need it, and they destroy the star to prevent Jack from using its power to Take Over the World. | |

The first volume of Hyperion Cantos has a framing narrative which is all about a group of pilgrims traveling to the home of the Shrike, a mysterious entity that, well, usually it just kills everyone who encounters it, but it has been known to kill all but one member of a party of pilgrims, and grant the survivor one wish. Yes, they're all that desperate. | |

The Disney animated musical Wish (2023) is a variation: The heroine makes a wish to save her homeland from a sorcerer king who can grant people's wishes but instead secretly hoards most of them for his own benefit, and an actual anthropomorphic star comes down to give her the means to do so. From there, she and her companions must first free the captive wishes so the star can grant them. | |

The plot of The Pirate's Fate is kicked off by this: Darious, a generally kind soul, has discovered the truth behind the folktale of magical coins that can change a person's identity. He assumes that by gathering all of them, one can make a wish to change anything in the world, and he intends to use it to better the world. Unfortunately, not everyone has such benevolent intentions for them, and the coins are, in and of themselves, dangerous enough... | |

The story mode of Puyo Puyo! 15th Anniversary has your selected character play through a puyo tournament with the winning prize of being granted one wish by a magic medal. Each character, naturally, makes a different wish once they win... but the medal takes their words at face value and usually mangles the wishes as a result. For example, Amitie wishes to be the greatest magician she can be, but the medal does nothing since it thinks she's already a good magician, Klug's wish to be in a magazine falls flat since he has to become famous first, and Sig's wish for new bugs in the forest is outright rejected because the medal dislikes insects. | |

Stalker (1979), adapted from Roadside Picnic, goes even further than the novel, with the Stalker refusing to ask anything, the Writer having his wish granted while getting there, and the Professor abandoning his original plan to nuke the Room altogether. | |

Gravity Falls: In "Blendin's Game", Dipper and Mabel compete in a futuristic gladiator tournament known as Globnar, which gives the winner a Time Wish that can fix any impossible problem, even the ability to change history paradox-free. They initially compete (after being drafted into it by their enemy) in order to wish that Soos's dad had come to his 12th birthday, fixing the trauma from all future birthdays. But in the end, they give Soos the wish so he can make the choice himself. Soos, after seeing how much Mabel and Dipper did for him, decides his dad wasn't worth it, and instead uses the wish for his friends... and an infinite slice of pizza. | |
