In video games, a '''High Speed Battle''' typically results when the player and an enemy have jumped into vehicles and continue to duke it out, in a manner of speaking. Two possible iterations exist:
* The first version is that the player is chasing the villain, with the intent of stopping them for one reason or another.
* The second version involves the player being chased by the villain, with the intent of escaping.
Line 41:
* In ''[[Wild Arms 3]]'', they ramped up the movement via Horseback with very little difference to the regular gameplay, and Sandcraft battles that had a few difference in how to attack and such, but still the same basic gameplay.
** Moving on horseback had the peculiar but nice effect that you could never be back attacked, or wind up entering the battle with only one character. It also sped up your characters' attack speed slightly, presumably because they themselves weren't running (being on horseback and all), whilst the enemies were.

** ''Thunder Force III'''s [[That One Level|Gorgon]] and [[That One Level|Haides]] stages have, roughly halfway through each stage, a high-speed segment. In both cases, it's a chance to grab a particularly rare item (such as a shield or a [[1-Up]]), which tends to stay stationary relative to the stage, giving you only a small fraction of a second to grab it.

* A mission in [[Dark Forces Saga|Jedi Academy]] consists of you fighting off (or fleeing from, your choice) mercenaries on speeders.
* [[Uncharted]] 2: Among Thieves has an; an extended gunfight taking place in the backs of a dozen speeding
* Riding Duels (Turbo Duels in the dub) in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's]]'' are this as applied to Duel Monsters. Or to put it another way... [[Memetic Mutation|CARD GAMES]] [[Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Abridged Series|ON MOTORCYCLES]]!
* Both ''[[Just Cause (video game)|Just Cause]]'' games feature these as a regular occurrence, giving the player the ability to climb about on vehicles and leap on to other ones. And that's to say nothing of the havoc you can wreak with your grappling hook...
