When a series does an Art Shift to an older presentation style for Flashback Effects to a time when it used this style. It may be in a work which has Art Evolution, calling back to its own specific past, or it may be an Affectionate Parody of more general styles. When you have characters in a flashback appear the way they look in the story's present time, making their latest appearance a Retcon to the period of the flashback, it's Backported Development. If a scene from a previous installment is redone using a newer art style, it's a version of Flashback with the Other Darrin. See also Monochrome Past and Nostalgia Level. Compare and contrast Meet Your Early-Installment Weirdness, which happens in the present instead of the past. |

For the 100th episode of Bones, they re-shoot a new first meeting for Booth and Brennan, which changes the context of their relationship to date - and they carefully tried to recreate the original characterization as well as appearance (darker hair, ponytails, chunky necklaces) of the main character, as well as bringing back actors who had since departed the show. | |

The mobile phone and Wii versions of Final Fantasy IV: The After Years are rendered similarly to Final Fantasy VI... except the flashbacks, which are done with the same graphics as the original Final Fantasy IV. A portion of Porom's chapter is even played in such a flashback. Averted in the PSP version, which contains updated versions of both the original game and The After Years. | |

The Simpsons has used this trope more than once. Homer's recollection of his drunken antics in "Wild Barts Can't Be Broken" is done in the style of a silent film, with "Scene Missing" cards to illustrate blackouts in his memory. "The Great Louse Detective" was the first episode of the show to be digitally animated after the staff permanently switched over to itnote the show experimented with digital animation a few times before then, but it didn't stick, but when it flashes back to the events of "Homer's Enemy", it reuses the original cel-animated footage from that episode. In "How I Wet Your Mother," Marge, Bart and Lisa enter one of Homer's dreams and look like how they appeared on The Tracey Ullman Show. In "Lisa the Boy Scout", one of the (fake) Simpsons clips shown by the hackers is a potential "series finale" that reveals that everything after "Bart the Daredevil" was All Just a Dream, which faithfully recreates the Season 2 art style and aspect ratio. In "Treehouse of Horror XXXIV", the segment Ei8ht opens with an "alternate ending" to the episode "Cape Feare" that is animated just like the episode itself. |

The 2010s Wonder Momo webcomic, which is a Real-Time Timeskip from the original 1980s arcade game, has flashbacks done in the artstyle of the arcade game's promotional material. Where the rest of the comic has a clean 2010s anime look, the flashbacks have a distinct '80s cel animation look with muted colors and fluffier hair. | |

The first episode of Transformers: EarthSpark features an extended flashback/exposition sequence explaining the Transformers' arrival on Earth in the 80s and the Autobot/Human alliance's ensuing war against the Decepticons. Said sequence shifts mediums to a hand-drawn 2D art style resembling the original ''Transformers'' cartoon, complete with an Aspect Ratio Switch to the 4:3 ratio used by 80s analog televisions and animation errors like those common in televised cartoons at the time. | |

In Call of Duty: Black Ops II, the normal missions set in 2025 have a futuristic Heads-Up Display with elements suggesting that it's diegetic (particularly, primary protagonist "Section" having them part of his Cool Shades). For the flashback missions set in the 1980s, the HUD is instead shown in the exact same form as it was in the 1960s-set Call of Duty: Black Ops. | |

In Supreme, all of Supreme's flashbacks to different eras feature era-appropriate art and storytelling. When harkening back to adventures that would have happened in the Golden or Silver age, he mentions how it seems so long ago and everything seemed so simple back then, accounting for the less detailed artwork and plain, no-nonsense dialogue. | |

Whenever Red vs. Blue characters remember about something, it's shot in the same game as the season it happened in. For example, during Relocated when Sarge reminisces about all of the times Grif nearly died that were "worth it", it shifts from Halo to Halo 2 and back to the (then current) Halo 3. Parodied when Church is blast back in time. During these scenes, RvB uses Bungie's older Marathon games. |

The characters have rubberhose character designs, but since Patrick is from the modern era, he's fully colored and on-model.

Ninjago: In seasons 8 and 9, Cole, Zane, and Jay have flashbacks to how they met Wu.note The flashbacks take place in "The Jade Princess", "Snake Jaguar", and "How to Build a Dragon" respectively. Despite the main cast getting redesigned in Season 8 to match their movie counterparts, they sport their original designs in these flashbacks. This makes less sense when you consider the explanation given earlier that time travel effects from the previous season may have been what changed their appearances. | |

Done for the Legion of Super-Heroes' 30th anniversary in 1988 where old LSH artists were used in flashbacks to old stories. (The 25th anniversary is more famous for using old LSH artists in nostalgia segments, but these segments were not flashbacks, but alternate universes that diverged as of a particular era.) | |

Doctor Who: One of the special features on the DVD of "Revenge of the Cybermen" is a segment called "Cheques, Lies and Videotape", about Doctor Who fans' efforts to see older stories in the days before home videos were widely available. One aspect of this era it discusses is the degradation of videotape quality after several generations of copying, with 10th-generation (and beyond) copies being almost unwatchable, with some accompanying footage demonstrating this. Then the end credits for the segment briefly take on the appearance of one of these poor copies. "The Crimson Horror" is set in Victorian Britain. A flashback scene explaining How We Got Here is shown as an old sepia-tinted kinetoscope movie. In "The Witch’s Familiar", Missy tells a story about the Doctor. It is represented in high-contrast black-and-white footage with a scanline overlay. The laser beams shown in the flashback are also noticeably made with a 2D rotoscope, instead of CGI. Those elements make the scene appear very similar to a First or Second Doctor episode. To hammer the point further, Fake Shemps of the First and Fourth Doctors appear in the beginning of this scene. |

Call of Duty: For Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare's flashback mission in Pripyat, the satellite overview is replaced with a traditional paper map. The in-game graphics are more desaturated than usual and have a sepia tint and grainy overlay. In Call of Duty: Black Ops II, the normal missions set in 2025 have a futuristic Heads-Up Display with elements suggesting that it's diegetic (particularly, primary protagonist "Section" having them part of his Cool Shades). For the flashback missions set in the 1980s, the HUD is instead shown in the exact same form as it was in the 1960s-set Call of Duty: Black Ops. |

Homestar Runner has had flashback sequences that use the art style of the original children's book that the characters came from, or occasionally the site's earliest animations, "Marshmallow's Last Stand" and "A Jumping Jack Contest". There's also the 1936 universe, modeled on Depression-era animation, which crops up every now and then for historical segments. | |

Ace Attorney: The flashback case in Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney uses the first game's graphics and music. Oddly inverted in Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies. At one point in Case 2, we see a still image of Phoenix with his laid-back, hobo look in Apollo Justice. But because the courthouse was redesigned between that game and Dual Destinies, it's very obvious that the game uses the new defendant lobby while showing Hobo Phoenix back in Apollo Justice. Similarly inverted in Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Spirit of Justice, where Apollo flashes back to confronting Klavier Gavin in court... but again, the courthouse doesn't look like it used to in Apollo Justice, so it feels jarring to see them in the new and rebuilt courtroom. To top it all off, AJ used 2D graphics, while Dual Destinies and Spirit of Justice use 3D. |
