These aren't exactly what you are referring to, but maybe close enough.
Shinobi, I always jump and fire a few shurikens at the "virtual wall" at the end of the levels, leaves behind the white circle when they hit as you end the level.
Donkey Kong second level, I like to jump over the last rivet.
I developed a habit from Twilight Zone pinball of ALWAYS flipping and holding with the left flipper before firing a ball off of the right upper flipper no matter what pinball game it is I'm actually playing at the time. Dang camera shot. :/
