OK, this thread convinced me to bang my head against Google once more to try and recall the game I asked if anyone knew about a while back and finally “flash game where you poop to fly spirit animal” got me there. Anyway, you go to space at the end of Icarus Proudbottom in: The Curse of the Chocolate Fountain.

One of the Call of Duty’s. Not the one that’s entirely in space but of the ones before that one. Ghosts? Black Ops?

I think the idea of a “moon level” in video games might be an old trope that could fill out this list a lot better.

You go to the moon in Super Mario Land 2. Additionally, if you find the moon’s secret level you end up making the moon sad.
