| - In The Sims: Vacation, they can be found on some of the snowy lots on Vacation Island, and are available in Buy mode. How well a Sim performs on the half-pipe depends on his or her Body skill. Sims can sometimes fall while using the half-pipe but nothing bad actually happens to them. A Sim with a full fun meter will not stay on a half-pipe for long.
- The Half-Pipe is a limited-time premium building that was released on August 3, 2016 as part of the Springfield Games 2016 Event. During the event Participation Ribbons.
- A half-pipe is a section of a track where it is possible to perform tricks on both sides of the road in Mario Kart Wii. They are usually pulsating from blue to purple. You can do a stunt, but you get a boost even if you don't. The best example would be the final stretch of DK Summit, which features Shy Guys performing tricks on snowboards. In these terms, "half-pipe" means "half-cylinder", which is what a half-pipe road looks like. There is only one mandatory half-pipe, in Rainbow Road. All the others are optional, but many are hard to avoid. Half-pipes are useful for prolonged boosts of speed since a racer can just drive constantly along the edge of the top without doing tricks. This can be done on Waluigi Stadium.
- A Half-pipe is as suggested a half of a pipe that has been sealed almost seamlessly. They appear throughout the Prime Trilogy and can be climbed by using the Boost Ball. The technique is a simple one, to "climb" the half pipe Samus must simply boost toward one side, then as she returns to the center of the pipe, she must boost again in the opposing direction. The idea is to gain momentum which will launch Samus above the half pipe, to a ledge or to any Morph Ball mechanism that will lead to further exploration. The Half-pipe appears in all the Prime games, and is detected by Samus' ship once she has acquired the Boost Ball. It is often grafted into the landscape as a decoration, or as an actual Pipe half. It appears mostly in areas of lush flora and fauna, or other decorative rooms on Plan
- The attraction of the half-pipe lies in the fact that a skilled athlete can perform on it for an extended period of time, using a technique called pumping, to attain extreme speeds, while expending relatively little effort. Large (high amplitude) half-pipes make possible many of the aerial tricks in BMX, in-line skating and skateboarding.
