In most 3D games, characters not in the camera’s field of view are not rendered to conserve processing power. In Mario Party 8, due to a high degree of optimization, this technique extends to parts of characters’ models in addition to entire characters. In this example, as the camera turns to view Toad from the back, his eyes are no longer rendered.

Oh, you think darkness is your ally. But you merely adopted the dark; I was born in it, molded by it. I didn't see the light until I was already a man, by then it was nothing to me but blinding!

In Wario World, there is a money bag constantly suspended in the air between Wario and the camera. This is in fact the money bag that falls down onto the screen during a Game Over, which the game has loaded at all times for optimization reasons.

in half life 2 anything that appears on a video monitor isn't a pre-rendered animation, it's a live scene occurring in a hidden room buried somewhere in the map with a simulated camera pointing at it.
