So the badass is about to finish off the Big Bad or a daredevil is about to accomplish an impossibly cool stunt. What's the best way to really establish these feats? Why, you simply have a twinkle appear in the character's eye to signify that he's about to accomplish an awesome feat. Related to Twinkle Smile, which is the same thing, but appears on the character's teeth. Like the Twinkle Smile, often comes with an Audible Gleam. Can also be used on Cool Shades. Contrast Glowing Eyes of Doom. Not to be confused with Tinkle in the Eye or A Twinkle in the Sky. |

The Wonderful 101 does twinkles all the time, most notably, Wonder Pink when doing one of her acrobatic stunts during the game, has a twinkle in her eye emphasizing how awesome it was and blinks at the audience that goes "aw". | |

Undertale: Undyne's eye twinkles just before the boss fight with her, assuming the player has not killed Papyrus. Undyne starts giving a speech about everyone's hopes and dreams relying on her before the eye twinkle, but then says "SCREW IT!" and throws her helmet off. Her left eye, previously covered by an Eyepatch of Power, also twinkles constantly as "Undyne the Undying" in a No Mercy playthrough. It actually becomes a game mechanic in the fight against Asgore. One of his attacks has his eyes repeatedly flash before he launches a series of screen-filling strikes. The only way to avoid them is to predict what kind of attack he'll use is by seeing what color his eyes flash. |

Bayonetta. In-game, Bayonetta's eye shines when she switches weapons. Eye twinkles are also all over the place in cutscenes, until it culminates in a self-parody scene where even a cat doll gets twinkle◊. | |

The Flash (2014). Barry's eyes always give off an electric flash whenever he's about to do something awesome, crazy, reckless, or all at once. In this case it's justified, since it's a visible effect of the charge-up of his Speed Force powers. | |

In the tutorial for Them's Fightin' Herds, Oleander (the guide for the segments) can give off a bright and pretty sinister looking one when directing the player for when it's their turn to attack, complete with an evil grin that would make Light Yagami proud. | |

This is used in the trailer for Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U, where the Villager has one in his introduction. It's also used on every character when they're selected on the fighter select screen in the Wii U version. During a match, this same eye twinkle happens on their image at the bottom by the damage percentages if they fully charge a special move, once they obtain a Smash Ball, and once they perform a Final Smash. | |

In Marvel vs. Capcom 3, when Haggar is doing his Rapid Fire Fist hyper move, you can mash the attack buttons to make him punch faster; his eyes will glint to show that it works. His eyes will also glint in his Level 3, Final Haggar Buster. | |

A running gag in The Muppets movies is Miss Piggy's eyes shining the first time she sees Kermit, whether it's their actual first meeting within the story (The Muppet Movie, The Great Muppet Caper), an It's a Wonderful Plot erasing their previous relationship (It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie) or just been a very long time (The Muppets (2011)). In The Muppets' Wizard of Oz, it's Kermit/Scarecrow's eyes that shine when he meets Piggy/Glinda. | |
