Getting some kind of upgrade that permanently alters your appearance, so you look more stylish in cutscenes. The first game I knew of to do this was Sonic Adventure 1. Admittedly, it looked ridiculous in SA2 whenever Knuckles was around, since he gets sunglasses on his head, a metal necklace, and big bulky glove attachments. A more subdued example would be the Ezio Assassins Creed games. You could buy leather armor pieces to put on your robes, and II had a gauntlet that added a metal glove to one hand.

When you make some immediate, unambiguously positive change to the environment. Destroying some corrupting thingamabob and seeing the area around it immediately turning back to normal.

Moments where you temporarily become much stronger, but then you hit the endgame and you find some way of keeping that power boost up for pretty much the rest of the game, absolutely steamrolling what would have been a tedious gauntlet.
